Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A West-Pointer in the Land of the Mikado It is not easy in a brief foreword the things the heart inclines to say as to the message, and the lives back of the message, as we have them sketched in the splendid volume "West-Pointer in the Land of the Mikado" And when the one who tries to write the much in little for an introduction to the book is one into whose life the home here pictured has poured without measure its love and faith and spirit of sacrifice, the difficulty of the task is greatly emphasized. No words of mine can voice my feelings as I think of the splendid sacrificial service of Charles E. Garst, and as I recall the burden days and burden nights of his dear wife, travelling in season and out of season among the churches for the great works sake, and yet with wearied mind and trembling hand struggling to write the story this book contains that it may move upon the world for good. And still further does the heart struggle in vain for language to declare itself when I think that as I write these lines, this twenty-first day of September, 1912, Gretchen Garst is leaving, almost at this very hour, the harbor of San Francisco for the needy land of the East, where her fathers tomb marks the end of the pathway of his toil for Japan and the Japanese.
