Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mary, the Queen of the House of David, and the Mother of Jesus: The Story of Her Life
I stood in the chapel of Helen Chalmers, the daugh ter of the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, in the most aban, doned part of the city of Edinburg; and I said to her, as I looked around upon the fearful surroundings of that place, Do you come here nights to hold a service? Oh, yes, she said; I take my lantern and I go through all these haunts of sin, the darkest and the worst; and I ask all the men and women to come to the chapel, and then I sing for them, and I pray for them, and I talk to them. I said, Can it be possible that you never meet with an insult while per forming this Christian errand? Never, she said never. That young woman, who has her father by her side, walking down the street, and an armed police man at each corner is not so well defended as that Christian woman who goes forth on Gospel work into the haunts of iniquity carrying the Bible and bread..
