Rickshaw, sedan Chair, horse cab, and motor, he replies. We finally decide to go in a Ford which he says he can borrow, and in an hour's time he calls for us at our hotel. We Speak of the swarms upon swarms of people and ask where they have come from.
They all belong here, he says. Haven't you heard the story Of the tourist who had never believed there were four hundred million people in China until he got to Canton and then he saw them all waiting for him on the Bund?
What do you call those ridiculous little boats that we saw all about the harbor as we came in? We ask.
Those are called sampans. Would you believe that two hundred thousand of our city's population live all the year round on those little boats? It's a fact. Now we'd better be ope.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides fascinating accounts of the beginning and growth of Protestant missionary healthcare work all over the world. It is not a mere descriptive analysis of Christian organizations sending healthcare workers abroad. The work describes in detail the inspiration and motivations behind early missionaries' ventures into healthcare and explores how the often dismal conditions they found in foreign lands spurred them to promote broad-scale changes and reforms. The author takes the reader on a historical tour of Christian medical missions, discussing the founding of the first hospitals, schools, and clinics for the sick and injured in Asia and Africa. We learn of the challenges faced by early missionaries, from language barriers to cultural differences and outright hostility, and how they overcame these obstacles to establish a global network of healthcare facilities. The book reveals the incredible impact these missions have had, not just in providing medical care to millions of people, but also in promoting education, social justice, and economic development. It concludes by reflecting on the importance of these missions in shaping the modern landscape of healthcare provision and the continuing need for their work in the present day.
