    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on the book "A Goodly Fellowship," by Rachel Capen Schauffler. Schauffler's name is guarantee for her competency to write of missionary work in Persia, and this, her book, is proof of her marked ability in constructing a novel. With great tenderness is described that devoted side of missionary life which will not use the word self-sacrifice. Yet an outsider seeing with eyes of humor or prejudice is made to interpret the scene, and from scoffing is made to arrive at praying by the route of practical sympathy and under the gentle compulsion of noble example. The unworldliness of the leaders is offset by characters of more average clay, whose foibles, humorously described, heighten the naturalness of the group.
