First sentence: GERTRUDE MARY TERRELL was born under exceptional circumstances, which so very greatly influenced the course of her whole life that one cannot tell her story without first telling briefly the little bit of her family history which proceeded her birth. Her father, William Girdlestone Terrell, was a Bristolian and was one of the first of several laymen sent out by the London Missionary Society as part of the Forward Movement of 1891. [to China]
Notes: From prefatory notes: "The introductory pages have been written by Mrs. Gillison (née Bessie Harris), and the account of her childhood and of her last illness by her mother.  The concluding paragraphs were written by Sir George H. Oatley, a great friend of her father's. Many friends have written their memories of Meili and her work: the compiler has tried to weave it all into a consecutive narrative".
