Synopsis

Excerpt from God First, or Hester Needham's Work in Sumatra: Her Letters and Diaries

There are many missionary biographies richer in the description of new scenes, and in varied and thrilling incidents, but I venture to think few more remarkable and touching, in its entire simplicity, than the one before us. It is the story of seven years' quiet, patient, hopeful, happy work; and out of the unstudied record of daily life there rises up before us the picture of a character, humble and self-effacing, but strong, powerful, and grand, and a walk in which was fulfilled the Master's promise, 'the works that I do shall he do also.'
