Excerpt from Ada Beeson Farmer: A Missionary Heroine of Kuang Si, South China The aim of the author has not been a literary one, but to give in a simple, narrative style, along with the diaries and letters of Mrs. Farmer, a true picture of her beautiful Christian character and missionary life. We have not written in the popular style so characteristic of much modern religious literature, but rather adhered to the example of some of the older biographical works, feeling it was more in accord with the subject-matter.
