Miss Martha Mary Crawford PDF Download

Excerpt from Mary Crawford Brown: A Memoir It has been the writer's privilege to escape for a little while from the routine of special studies and to hold communion in spirit with one whose passage through this world has been to many a convincing evidence of the Divine reality of our Christian faith. This book is written in order that every reader may enjoy the same vivid and sacred friendship, heart yet speaking to heart though the voice is still. When a Scotsman, after but a short stay in Ireland, was invited to prepare the Memoir of a gifted and gracious Irishwoman - a beautiful soul if there has been one in our time - the difficulties were so great and obvious that he could only decline a task for which he seemed to have no fitness. This happened more than once, but there were influential people, in particular some beloved missionaries, whose mild persistence could not be ignored, and the decisive appeal was made by the sisters of one of the writer's first and dearest Irish friends, affectionately remembered by all his comrades as "Willie Wilson of Coleraine," whose cross-marked grave in France James Pyper of Duncairn and the writer visited together in the last month of the war.
