Excerpt from In Quest of God: The Life Story of Pastors Chang and Ch'�, Buddhist Priest and Chinese Scholar Mrs. Howard Taylor's widely read Life of Pastor H S'i and Miss Cable's graphic story, The Fulfilment of a Dream, dealing with other areas Of the same province, it has seemed best not to proceed with the larger scheme but limit this book to the area west of the Fen River, where Pastors Chang and Ch'ii lived and laboured. Although the writer is familiar with the district and the leading characters referred to, it would have been impossible to have written these pages without much detailed information generously placed at his disposal by Mr. Albert Lutley, who possesses an unequalled acquaintance with the persons and places referred to. For many Of the personal details in the lives of Pastor Chang and Pastor Ch'u the writer is also indebted to his sister, Mrs. Gilbert Ritchie, who, during her residence at Taning, had taken down the story of their early days from their own lips. These valuable auto biographical notes were in the possession of Mrs. Howard Taylor, and were very kindly handed by her to the writer, together with the ground-plan of the Buddhist Temple at Mulberry Crag originally drawn by Mr. W. G. Peat, who was murdered in that neighbourhood in 1900. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
