settlement. Always bright and cheerful, and ready to tell the
Story, she is welcomed wherever she goes. When I think of her past
life of ease as the daughter, and later the wife, of an official, I
marvel at her spirit of consecration. Quietly she goes from house
to house in search of those who are willing to listen. Miles she
has walked over the hot stone pavements. 'If my people will only
believe in Christ, I shall be well repaid,' she says."

A true Christian woman, whose courage has flinched at no sacrifice, who has
borne the loss of husband, mother, son, and property, and the reproaches of
non-Christian relatives, with a peace and a faith unshakeable and
convincing, Mrs. Ahok is accomplishing much by what she does, doubtless
even more by what she is.
