Publisher's Synopsis
"I read the letter, and then handed it, without comment, across the table to Mrs Young-the bride of but a few days-for her perusal. She read it over carefully, and then, after a quiet moment, as was quite natural, asked, "What does this mean?""I can hardly tell," I replied; "but it is evident that it means a good deal." "Have you volunteered to go as a missionary to that far-off land?" she asked. "Why, no. Much as I love, and deeply interested as I have ever been in the missionary work of our Church, I have not made the first move in this direction. Years ago I used to think I would love to go to a foreign field, but lately, as the Lord has been so blessing us here in the home work, and has given us such a glorious revival, I should have thought it like running away from duty to have volunteered for any other field.""
