Hunter Corbett : fifty-six years missionary in China.

Preface

IN the following pages endeavor has been made to describe a virile type of missionary. The study has revealed an intercessor, a student of the Word, a man sincere in motive, friendly in disposition, tender in affection, mighty in faith and unresting in labor. The conditions and convictions conspiring to make him what he was, the circumstances and difficulties which were a part of his development, and the triumphs and defeats he experienced are sketched that we may take measure of the man and learn by what travail of spirit and perseverance of effort souls are won for the Kingdom. This book is, therefore, submitted to the public with the hope that the record may become a means for stimulating to earnest purpose and zealous action.
