From the Preface


“China has been my home for more than five-and- twenty years, and so it is possible for me to look through Chinese spectacles, and T am able, to a certain extent, to understand how they feel about people of other lands. Many Chinese men and women are dear and trusted friends of mine. They

do not cease to be Chinese when they become Christians, but their bravery in time of danger and their steadfastness in the face of death compel the admiration of all who hear their story.”
