“Dr. Herrick has given his life to missionary work among the
Mohammedans. This book is the mature expression of his profound
belief that the followers of the Arabian Prophet are to be won
to Christianity by patiently showing Jesus Christ, with kindly
appreciation of the good while fully gauging the deadly evil of
their religious system. Opinions from leading missionaries to
Mohammedans, in all parts of the world have been brought
together in the book.—Henry Otis Dwight, LL.D.

A Glimpse of the Heart of China
Illustrated, 16mo, cloth, net 60c.
“A simple, clear story from a physician’s point of view of the
sickness, the unnecessary suffering, the ignorant and
superstitious practice of the native physician, contrasted with
the comfort and healing that follow in the wake of the skillful
treatment of a Christian Chinese ‘woman doctor,’ has in it many
elements of interest. The reader of these pages feels that he
has truly had a ‘glimpse of the heart of China.’”—Missionary
Voice.

=The Stolen Bridegroom= AND OTHER EAST INDIAN IDYLLS
With Introduction by George Smith, C.I.E., Author of “The Conversion of
India.” Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net 75c.
“The author reveals, as only an expert could, the life of the
Marathi women of Western India. With delicate touch, but
realistic effect, she draws back the curtain that conceals the
Zenana.... The Missionary with the native Bible-woman is seen on
her daily round of love and mercy, in the home, the hospital and
the school, winning the weary and despairing women and
widows.”—George Smith.
