This edition is 1958; The book is in very good condition considering its age; no tears or rips, and the staples are rusty, but the book has new staples (old ones are still in place). A series of books which are new to me; 70 titles were published. I have seven titles ## ## This series of books is "True Stories of Real People". ## ## my Beatrice Carmichael (16 December 1867 - 18 January 1951) was an Irish Christian missionary in India who opened an orphanage and founded a mission in Dohnavur. She served in India for 55 years without furlough and wrote 35 books about missionary work there. ## ## Early life: Amy Beatrice Carmichael was born in the small village of Millisle, County Down, Ireland, in 1867, as the oldest of seven siblings. Her parents were David Carmichael, a miller, and his wife Catherine, both devout Christians. Amy attended Harrogate Ladies College for four years in her youth. ## ## Amy's father moved the family to Belfast when she was 16 years old, but he died two years later. In Belfast, the Carmichaels founded the Welcome Evangelical Church. In the mid-1880s, Carmichael started a Sunday-morning class for the 'Shawlies' (mill girls who wore shawls instead of hats) in the Rosemary Street Presbyterian church hall. This mission grew quickly to include several hundred attendees. At this time, Amy saw an advertisement in The Christian for an iron hall they could erect for £500 and would seat 500 people. Two donations, £500 from Miss Kate Mitchell and one plot of land from a mill owner, led to the erection of the first "Welcome Hall" on the corner of Cambrai Street and Heather Street in 1887.## ## Amy continued at the Welcome until she received a call to work among the mill girls of Manchester in 1889, from which she moved on to overseas missionary work, despite suffering from neuralgia. This disease made her whole body weak and achy, often putting her in bed for weeks. At the Keswick Convention of 1887, she heard Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM), speak about missionary life; soon afterwards, she became convinced of her calling to missionary work. She applied to the China Inland Mission and lived in London at the training house for women. She met the author and missionary to China, Mary Geraldine Guinness, who encouraged her to pursue missionary work. Carmichael was ready to sail for Asia, but her health made her unfit for the job. She postponed her missionary career with the CIM and decided to join the Church Missionary Society later. ## ## There is a bronze statue of Amy Carmichael as a young girl, in Hamilton Street in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, on the grounds of the Presbyterian church. ## ## Work in India: Initially, Carmichael travelled to Japan, staying for fifteen months, but got neuralgia and returned home. After a brief period of service in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), she went to Bangalore, India, for her health and found her lifelong vocation. The Church of England Zenana Mission commissioned her. Carmichael's most notable work was with girls and young women, some of whose customs amounted to forced prostitution. Hindu temple children were primarily young girls dedicated to the gods, then usually forced into prostitution to earn money for the priests (i.e., Devadasi). Families often sold their children to the temples if they did not want them or if they needed extra money and fewer children to feed.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
