Paperback. Very Good Condition. Signed by Author. 37 pages, size 8.5 inches tall by 5.5 inches, in card covers. Illustrated with black and white plates. FOREWORD : When I went to Bloomsbury as a young Deaconess in 1918 memories of the great work of Sister Maggie were still very vivid in the minds of many. The social conditions she describes in this little book of reminiscences were even then only gradually changing. To read about them now in 1962 is to take us back into another world. This must also be true of conditions in Congo. Many will, I am sure, read this booklet with great interest, thanking God for all the brave and faithful service done in those difficult days. Although times have changed, new and formidable problems have arisen, young people with the same devotion are called today-for the needs of men and women and the Grace of God remain. Mrs. Christy Davies has done us a real service by writing this interesting and challenging story. E. Lois CHAPPLE {China Missionary and former Secretary and National President of Baptist Women's League.) COMMENDATION I gladly commend this booklet from the pen of Mrs. Christy Davies to the whole denomination. She combines a description of a most interesting period in Baptist life in the British Isles and especially in the Metropolis with first hand accounts of pioneering along with Christy her husband, so lively, vigorous and dedicated, in B.M.S. service, in a Congo now left far behind. Baptist fellowship today will be stimulated by these colourful evidences and examples of shared service in days gone by. J. B.
