It is by my own initiative, and with the desire of testifying to a touching truth, that I give this writing to Miss Kate Marsden, feeling sure that every Russian would be ready to do the same. 235 The work Miss Kate Marsden has undertaken in our country is so important, so full of humanitarian charity, that we cannot fail to see in Miss Marsden an instrument chosen by the Lord himself to alleviate the condition-- moral as well as physical--of the poor lepers. Upheld by God, and by her great faith in him, Miss Marsden has in a very short time laid the f1rst foundation of a colony destined to create a new existence for these miserable outcasts. Her love for them never wavered before any obstacle, and this same love has kindled many hearts which have been united by her generous idea. Our august Sovereign herself has deigned to give Miss Marsden proofs of her sympathy, receiving her several times; and, being deeply touched by her Christian devotion, she had the kindness to grant her her protection, and to help her to accomplish her...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Sledge and Horseback: To the Outcast Siberian Lepers The first practical step preparatory to commencing this work among the lepers was my presentation to Her Majesty the Queen in 1890. I sought this honor, knowing that it would help me in carrying on the work in foreign countries. Three days after the presentation Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales commanded my attendance at Marlborough House for the purpose of hearing particulars of what I proposed to do. Her Royal Highness showed the warmest interest and sympathy, and promised to write and solicit the approval and assistance of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Russia, in accomplishing the end I had in view. At my audience with the Empress my most sanguine expectations were realized. Her Imperial Majesty showed the utmost kindness, entered heartily into my plans, and gave me an invaluable letter, requesting Russian officials to facilitate my wishes in visiting hospitals and leper settlements in the empire.

Download or read book Changing Roles of Women Within the Christian Church in Canada written by Elizabeth Gillan Muir and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian religious history has been written with relatively little reference to the role of women. Throughout the years, the church itself has intensified this problem by restricting the options of women -- excluding them from the most valued roles and positions. In the past, Christian women were obliged to find alternative avenues for the expression of their faith and, as a result, their experience has been unusually rich and varied. This pioneering anthology traces the history of Canadian women in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant traditions from the early days through the 1960s. Seventeen Canadian scholars tell the stories of individuals who have worked in traditional and non-traditional roles, alone and as members of groups, both within and outside church structures. All of the articles present new or little-known material, relating the faith, determination, and inventiveness of women whose experience has so far been overlooked. The volume includes an introductory overview of women's church work as well as a comprehensive bibliography of papers and books published about women in the Christian church in Canada, both in English and French. The incorporation of feminist analysis and an emphasis on gender issues set this collection apart from all other studies of Canadian church history. A unique and valuable book, it not only fills a void in the chronicles of religion, it adds an important new dimension to Canadian history.
