Excerpt from For His Sake: A Record of a Life Consecrated to God and Devoted to China; Extracts From the Letters of Elsie Marshall Martyred at Hwa-Sang, August 1, 1895In the recollection of her family, and of all who knew her, brightness and sunshine were always associated with her; and that this was the brightness of God's counten ance, and the sunshine of His love, reected in her life, those who watched her growth from her infancy never doubted. She used to say, 'i do love people who seem to have a liberty in Christ's religion, always loving to sing, and to speak of Him.' There never was anything like a spiritual crisis in her life: from the first she lived the life of a child of God; and His grace was beautifully developed in her growing soul. Her joy was unbounded when a friend of hers told her that her name Elsie' meant 'consecrated to God.' The testimony of her schoolfellows corroborates this. One who was with her at the first school to which she went writes: 'i remember her so well at school; her kindness and unselfishness to all the younger girls and she was always trying to set them a good example. There was something almost amusing too in the poor opinion she had Of herself She, who was as good as any one could ever be.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
