Fifteen Years Among The Topknots Lillie In Korea And Contributing Circumstances PDF Download

Excerpt from Fifteen Years Among the Top-Knots: Or Life in Korea IT may be said at once, that Mrs. Underwood's narra tive of her experience of Fifteen Years Among the Top Knots constitutes a book of no ordinary interest. There is no danger that any reader having even a moderate sympathy with the work of missions in the far East will be disappointed in the perusal. The writer does not undertake to give a comprehensive account of missions in Korea, or even of the one mission which she represents, but only of the things which she has seen and experienced. There is something naive and attractive in the way in which she takes her readers into her confidence while she tells her story, as trustfully as if she were only writing to a few relatives and friends. Necessarily she deals very largely with her own work, and that of her husband, as of that she is best qualified to speak. Everywhere, how ever, there are generous and appreciative references to the heroic labors of associate missionaries. Nor does she confine these tributes to members of her own mission. Some of her highest encomiums are given to members of other missions, who have laboured and died for the Gos pel and the cause of humanity in Korea.
