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.
