Author Description

Excerpt from Doctor Apricot of Heaven-Below: The Story of Hangchow Medical Mission C. M Below more prominently before the public in the hope of arousing a keener and more practical interest in the important and far-reaching work we have been carrying on there during the last twenty-eight years. It is written by a warm-hearted and enthusiastic friend who was for some years in actual work among the Chinese, and while in China visited Hangchow and made herself well acquainted with the main facts of our work and has ever since taken a hearty interest in it. The incidents which are related as illustrating the character of the work, as well as some of its results, are actual facts, and are but specimens of the numerous cases dealt with from day to day in its various branches. It is hoped that the narrative of the work in this form will interest many in Medical Missions, which are not a mere adjunct to the preaching of the Gospel to the heathen, but an essential and integral part of the church's mission.
