Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By the Great Wall: Letters From China Kalgan, the northern gateway of China, was the scene of her labors for a generation. It was here that a mis sion station was begun amid a people hard and unimpress ible, many Of them Shansi men without their families, who more than most, even in mercantile and materialistic China, are given up to the worship of paper gods and paper notes, of brass gods and brass cash. It was here that Mrs. Williams won the hearts Of Chinese women and girls; here that she showed what a Christian home may be, and how the children of such a home can be trained for wide and unselfish usefulness wherever their lot is cast. No Object-lesson is more needed in the Celestial Empire than this. Many glimpses of that patient and tireless missionary activity which makes itself all things to all men are given in this story. Here indeed is the faith and the patience of the saints. In 1900, only two years after the last letters of this vol ume were written, Rev. Mark Williams, with his fellow missionaries at Kalgan, joined later by others in Mon golia, escaped across the Desert of Gobi, and after having endured many privations and much suffering, reached the Russian frontier in a little more than two months from their leaving Kalgan.
