“The incidents are the homely ones of every day life, but they are told with such a merry tenderness as to bring out all their humor and all their pathos, and make them glow with that spirit of the Christmas time.”

“It is a simple story of life-long devotion to the missionary cause, ending with a hopeful, if somewhat meagre, outlook.” (Nation.) Thirty-three years of residence in her corner of the world have brought Mrs. Clark “into contact with many interesting stories of the home-life of the savages in Burma, of their life at work and at play, their worship and strange legends, their relationships with neighboring villages, and, above all, their slow acceptance of the Christian faith offered to them by the zealous missionaries.” (Dial.)
“Her book is consequently of interest both to the casual reader who likes to know about strange people in remote nooks of the world, and to those readers who are vitally concerned about the spread of the Christian religion.” H. E. Coblentz.

“Mrs. Clark’s account gains much by its lack of pretence to literary style.”
