Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Steadfast Unto Death, or Martyred for China: Memorials of Thomas Wellesley and Jessie Pigott In a few, by the Author´s request, I desire to commend this book to the careful and sympathetic perusal of those into whose hands it may come. To the subject of it, my cousin, Thomas Wellesley Pigott, I was attached from his boyhood, was often associated with him during his early life, and continued in frequent correspondence up to the end. The worthy object of this book is to collect together for the many records that have been hitherto in the possession of the few, and so to prolong and extend the influence, stimulus, and inspiration of lives that have ended. Nothing, I believe, would have been more repugnant to a man of Thomas Pigott´s nature than to think that anything should be written to make much of him. From childhood upward, in character and work, living and labouring, he was possessed by one idea, that Christ should be magnified. For this he lived and worked and spent and suffered and died. His was a sterling nature. Through and through he was the same. A strong, simple, brave, tender-hearted, faithful Christian man.
