LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.
What I write here is for the glory of God. For more than twenty years
have I been urged to record my story as a missionary of the Cross;
but always till now, in my sixty-fourth year, my heart has shrunk
from the task, as savouring too much of self. Latterly the conviction
has been borne home to me that if there be much in my experience
which the Church of God ought to know, it would be pride on my
part, and not humility, to let it die with me. I lift my pen, therefore,
with that motive supreme in my heart; and, so far as memory and
entries in my note-books and letters of my own and of other friends
serve or help my sincere desire to be truthful and fair, the following
chapters will present a faithful picture of the life through which the
Lord has led me. If it bows any of my readers under as deep and
certain a confidence as mine, that in “God’s hand our breath is, and
His are all our ways,” my task will not be fruitless in the Great Day.
