INTRODUCTION
This book has this virtue among others, that itis a true rescript of events that have happened inthe author's personal experience. It is made upof human documents that deal with matters ofsurpassing interest. The book tells in simple andvivid style the story, always fascinating andthrilling, of the triumph of the Gospel in the soulsof men. It is a heartening book and a moving.It will bring courage and hope to those who readit, and awaken in their hearts a deeper passion toshare in God's great mission to men.
The new west is full of the broken driftwoodof humanity, showing the marks of the attritionof time and conflict and defeat—good stuff it is,but waste and lost. This book tells of its salvageto the infinite joy of men, and to the glory of God.
The author has the further distinction of havingseen himself a large part of the events he describes.
The book will do good wherever it goes.
