From Foreword:  "IT seems fitting that this little book of personal testimonies to answered  prayer should have a brief introductory word as to how they came to be written.  The question has been asked by some who read many of these testimonies as they  appeared in the pages of The Sunday School Times: "How could you write such  personal and sacred incidents in your life?" I could not have written them but  for a very clear, God-given leading.  The story is as follows: When in Canada on our first furloughs I was  frequently amazed at the incredulity expressed when definite testimony was given  to an answer to prayer. Sometimes this was shown by an expressive shrug of the  shoulders, sometimes by a sudden silence or turning of the topic of  conversation, and sometimes more openly by the query: "How do you know that it  might not have happened so, anyway?" Gradually the impression deepened: "If they will not believe one, two, or a  dozen testimonies, will they believe the combined testimonies of one whole  life?" The more I thought of what it would mean[iv] to record the sacred incidents  connected with answers to prayer the more I shrank from the publicity, and from  undertaking the task. There were dozens of answers far too sacred for the public  eye, which were known only to a few, others known only to God. But if the record  were to carry weight with those who did not believe in the supernatural element  in prayer, many personal and scarcely less sacred incidents must of necessity be  made public. Again and again I laid the matter aside as impossible. But I know now that  the thing was of God. As months, even years, passed, the impelling sense that  the record of answers to prayer must be written gave me no rest. It was at the close of the 1908-10 furlough—during which, as a family, we had  been blessed with many and, to our weak faith, wonderful answers to prayer—that  my oldest son urged me to put down in some definite form the answers to prayer  of my life, and extracted from me a solemn promise that I would do so. But months passed after returning to China, and the record had not been  touched. Then came a sudden and serious illness which threatened my life, when  the doctor told me I must not delay in getting my affairs in order.[v] It was then that an overwhelming sense of regret took possession of me that I  had not set down the prayer testimonies, and solemnly I covenanted with the Lord  that if he would raise me up they should be written. There was no more question of what others might think; the one thought was to  obey. The Lord raised me up; and although he had to deal with me very sternly  once more before I really set myself to the task, the testimonies that are given  here were written at last—most of them in odd moments of time during strenuous  missionary journeys among the heathen. Thus it will be seen that these incidents of answered prayer are not given as  being more wonderful, or more worthy of record, than multitudes the world over  could testify to; but they are written and sent out simply and only because I  had to write them or disobey God."

The following sketches are as photographically true as my knowledge of Chinese life and people can make them. They are written primarily as an answer to the oft met questions, "Do missions pay?" and, "After all, are there any real Christians in China?" We missionaries are frequently told that the average church member at home has come to think of missionaries' letters as "too dry to read." Wherefore, my attempt to give missionary facts in a different, possibly more readable, form. With what success remains to be seen. The little book is sent forth with the earnest hope and prayer that those who read these sketches may come to see the truth of what Paul said: "God hath made of ONE BLOOD all men under heaven."

"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? . . . Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."—The Lord Jesus Christ. THE pages of this little book deal almost wholly with just one phase of prayer—petition. The record is almost entirely a personal testimony of what petition to my Heavenly Father has meant in meeting the everyday crises of my life.
