description: This remarkable book, first published in 1851, and passing through over 20 editions in the years preceding the Civil War, relates the stirring true story of three courageous pioneer women missionaries. If indeed, as one writer stated, that ‘the chief end of biography is to embalm virtue and perpetuate usefulness,’ then this present volume certainly merits the consideration of thoughtful Christians everywhere.Ann Hasseltine, Sarah Boardman and Emily Chubbuck, each successively the wife of Adoniram Judson, the first American Baptist missionary to a distant foreign field, demonstrated in their lives the noblest of Christian virtue, and supreme dedication to the cause of Jesus Christ in spreading the gospel to what was then known as the Burman empire.It was no small thing in those days to consecrate one's life to missionary endeavor. The sacrifices were great—both in leaving, and in going.No more fitting monument to the Judsons can be erected than that of remembering their story. It is a story of love and courage not to be forgotten.These biographies of the three Mrs. Judsons can not only serve to shake us from our mediocrity but also inspire us to greater service in the Kingdom of God. If the reprinting of this work achieves these noble ends, then the publishers will be more than rewarded in their labors in bringing this new edition before the public.
