Excerpt from James Gilmour and John Horden: The Story of Their Lives The accompanying pages are the result of an attempt to sketch the life of James Gilmour from the standpoint of his fellow workers in the North China mission field. The book is not an abridgment of any former work, but consists principally of the writer's personal reminiscences, and extracts from letters written by Mr. Gilmour to herself. And her husband. For other letters she is indebted to Dr. Roberts, for a time Gilmour' s colleague In the Mongolian Work. Some of the recollections of the Rev. G. Owen given at a memorial service held 111 Peking are also included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
