It Psalm 121:4. o is the autobiography of Joseph Hoffman Cohn, and is entitled "I Have Fought a Good Fight—The Story of Jewish Missionary Pioneering in America." Here is Dr. Cohn's own statement as to how the book came to be written: One day in fellowship, with several members of the Board of Directors, I happened to unravel some of these old-time experiences. They said, "These things you simply must publish as a sort of diary that the world may know a little of what it cost to establish a really worthwhile and dependable Jewish work in America."

Since our announcement of the Book in the December issue of THE CHOSEN PEOPLE, we have been deluged with orders. A beloved friend of the Mission for many years, wrote: The Jewish missionary field and the Christian church owe you a sincere vote of thanks ... The great Dr. Neander, church historian, could not have done any better.

Another friend of long standing wrote: I read your memoirs with the most intense interest, and I see clearly that the Lord had ... a world-wide field for you, and a world-wide support.
