Normal School of California. She is at present (January, 1915) attending
the Training School of the Young Women's Christian Association in New York City, preparing to fill an important position in China under the National Board of the Association. Her child life was filled with tragedy and hardship. Her earliest memories are of a river boat in China and of being sold and brought to San Francisco, and sold again. Here, suffering from the result of a serious fall, she was found by a missionary and taken to the Mission Home, where she spent five months in the hospital. In the helpful atmosphere of the Home, she developed a remarkably bright mind and a sweet Christian spirit. Having completed her school course, she became an efficient worker among her own people, reaching heathen as well as Christian homes through the children in her kindergarten classes, who were devotedly attached to her. The qualities of her character and service brought her an opening to a position of great importance in Christian work in China. As she returns to China, she becomes another of the many links in the far reaches of Home Missions by which it influences the ends of the earth. * * * * * Home Missions probably faces no greater challenge than is presented |
