Excerpt from Morning Light in Many Lands

After the long night of ages, the morning light is breaking on all the lands of the old East. It is a new creation of hope in the hearts and joy in the homes of millions. I have only tried to point out some of the high places, where the light is beginning to shine, and some of the low valleys, where the clouds look darker, just because the morning is on the hills. The book would have been much larger, and I hope much better, if a messenger of the prince of darkness had not come in the night and stolen away all that I had written, with painstaking care, of mission work seen on the journey from Prague in Bohemia to Shanghai in China. The plunder did naught to enrich the thief and it left me poor indeed. If he had been half as ready to bring back the spoil as I was to forgive the theft and reward the return, my readers would have had a better book and I should have been spared the one great loss in a long journey. D. M.
