The Methodist Woman's Bookshelf Reflection on Faith in China
The speaker reflects on seven years of hardship from chaotic China to personal grief, noting three faith phases. Initial patriotism lacked staying power, followed by despair, then a shift to doing God's will. She recalls her mother's influence on General and finds unity through spiritual return to God. The analogy of a single flower in Chinese art symbolizes living by God's will with sincerity.
