Description

Excerpt from For His Sake: A Record of a Life Consecrated to God and Devoted to China; Extracts From the Letters of Elsie Marshall Martyred at Hwa-Sang, August 1, 1895
A Short sketch of the life of the writer of the following record of missionary work in China will perhaps enhance its interest for the general reader, and make clear some of the personal allusions, which could not be well omitted without breaking the continuity of the letters. The letters themselves are published in the hope, and with the earnest prayer, in which it is certain the writer would (and perchance does) join, that their perusal may stir up still greater zeal in hastening forward the King's business in the land of Sinim, which recent events - and not least amongst them the martyrdoms at Ku-cheng - will assuredly open up to the 'Divine Enterprise of Missions'; and lead many to adopt what she found to be the happiest of all lives: to give up home 'for His sake, ' in order to go and tell the love of Jesus to those who have never heard.
Elsie Marshall was bom on November 9, 1869, at Birchfield, near Birmingham, of which parish her father, the Rev. J. W. Marshall, was the vicar.
