Life of Henry Martyn, Missionary to India and Persia, 1781 to 1812 Sarah J Rhea

Life of Henry Martyn, Missionary to India and Persia, 1781 to 1812 is a classic religious biography by Sarah J. Rhea. I hold in my hand an album adorned with pictures of missionaries, my brethren and sisters, the ambassadors of the King. On one of the first pages is "the tomb of Henry Martyn," given me by Dr. Van Lennep, who had just visited the sacred spot and described it vividly. When I turn the pages of my album and come to this, I pause with reverence and the overflowings of deep and tender emotion, and my mind adds other pictures, both terrestrial and celestial, to the one upon the page.
