Description

*Condition Note: Excellent condition for age. Mild cover and page wear.*

 

Decidedly an informative, entertaining, and inspiring mission travel treatise. All the vivacity of wide-awake observations combines here with the charm of an uninhibited astonishment to make this a compelling narrative. In this book you will find delightful subtle humor, pathos, tragedy. As never before you will feel the great need of India and see its beauty contrasted with its wretchedness.

This volume reveals a facet of missionary life not found in other missionary recitals.
