To the wives of our missionaries 

 who, being compelled from various 

 causes to remain at home, are un- 

 grudgingly giving their husbands to 

 the work of Christ in far-off lands, 

 as well as to those who, in weariness 

 and painfulness, in hunger and thirst, 

 are constant partners with their 

 husbands in different climes, this 

 book is dedicated.
