Mildred Cable is a perceptive and able writer. She sees beneath the surface and helps you to see deeper as well into human nature, Christian missions and Chinese culture. She is too honest a writer to paint a rosy picture of missionary life and Chinese converts, but that is not to say that the book is pessimistic, it is a realistically encouraging book, one that can square with our own experiences instead of presenting us with a picture of Christianity perfect beyond recognition. This book is a bit of a sequel to a book on Pastor Hsi by Mrs. Howard Taylor, but it goes beyond Pastor Hsi to the work of his wife and to the author's own work among the Chinese. Much of it takes place in Hwochow, a small city in Shanxi Province, though the spelling I believe is now rendered Huozhou. It deals mostly with the period shortly before and after the Boxer Rebellion around the turn of the 20th century. Mildred Cable would later attend Westminster Chapel in London where first G Campbell Morgan and then Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones would pastor.

pretty dated, both in language and philosophy, but overall an interesting peek into China of 70 years ago.
