At the same time the book is of such a character that it seems especially advisable for me personally to assume full responsibility for all views expressed. For making available indispensable source materials, I must at least express my great indebtedness to Preface Contents I Tarleton Perry Crawford 1 Battering Satan's Ramparts: A Missionary's Formative Years 2 A Stranger in a Strange Land: Crawford's Difficulties Multiply 3 Blowing The Gospel Trumpet II Charlotte Diggs Moon 4 Woman's Work in East Shantung 5 A Woman of Energy and Self-Respect 6 Lottie Moon at Sha-ling and in History III Calvin Wilson Mateer 7 A Call and the Struggle to Interpret It 8 The Tengchow School 9 The Missionary as Entrepreneur Conclusion Notes Bibliography Glossary Index
