Mackerchar, E. — Mary Reed of Chandag

London, The Mission to Lepers, 1962. Eighth Impression. Softcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. An homage to the Christian mission serving lepers in India, about the Christian missionary, "Mary Reed of Chandag," born in Lowell, Ohio on 4th December 1854, and who then joined the Indian field of the American Methodist Episcopal Church in 1884. She died in 1943 after decades of service in the British field of India in leper colonies. Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, minor wear of the printed card stock covers, less to lightly toned text-block, but with neither underlining nor highlighting. Perfectly readable, usable copy. Replete with black-and-white plates of lepers and the leper colony mission. Frontispiece of Miss Mary Reed on front free end-paper. From page 3, "Probably no missionary in the world is better known than the subject of this sketch, probably no worker has been more upheld in prayer and sympathy than Miss Reed, whose life history has no parallel in the annals of missionary biography." A fine and engrossing story of an American woman missionary who served at a leper home in India from 1892. 22 [6] pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
