Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of a missionary journey, offering insights into the lives of missionaries and their work in China and Japan. At the behest of friends and colleagues, the author set out on this journey in 1892, describing the wonders of the world she encountered and reflecting on the presence and influence of Christian missionary work in each location. Her letters home, which form the basis of this book, capture her experiences in Cairo, Aden, Bombay, Ahmedabad, Jeypore, Delhi, Agra, Cawnpore, Lucknow and Benares. Along the way, she encounters a variety of people and cultures, and her writing is full of sympathy and respect for the different customs and beliefs she observes. Her detailed accounts of the work of the American Presbyterian Mission, the English Church Missionary Society, and other groups provide a valuable historical record of missionary work in the late 19th century. She notes successes and challenges, and everywhere she finds committed individuals dedicated to spreading the Christian message. Her accounts are grounded in her deeply-held Christian faith, but she is also keenly observant of the world around her, and her writing provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of travel and exploration. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
