Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under siege in imperial China Mary Gamewell was a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China. This riveting account of a good woman continuing her vocational work despite every adversity will absorb those interested Women missionaries, the China of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the turbulent time of the Boxers. Gamewell was already an 'old China' hand by 1900. She had experienced the Chungking Riot of 1886 and knew well the dangers which could beset Europeans in her position. Her view of the siege of Peking itself will interest any student of the subject. Available in soft cover or hard back with dust jacket.

The best way to know Christianity is to know Christ and the apostles. To feel the pulse of the church's life, we must touch human hearts, hear their moans and their songs, become familiar with their daily thoughts, and walk with them along the homely pathway of duty - things too commonplace to de mand a page in formal history, and yet things that make the very ousia of life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Marching Orders: A Story of Mary Porter Gamewell This morning there was a patriotic service in the town where I live, at which hundreds of children sang and waved their ags. AS they were Singing a ag song, I wished that they would cheer the old dragon ag of China, and more than all the ags of all the nations, would I have them cheer the Church ag, which bears the Sign of the cross. If, as a good citizen, you would follow your country's ag to the ends of the earth, if honor called you, would you not just as promptly follow the Christian ag anywhere it might lead? If you follow a ag, you put yourself under marching orders, and where the commander says go, the soldier directs his steps.
