A Light In The Land Of Sinim is a memoir written by Harriet Newell Noyes about her forty-five years of experience as a teacher at the True Light Seminary in China. The book was first published in 1919 and provides a detailed account of Noyes' experiences as a missionary in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Noyes' memoir covers a wide range of topics, including her initial journey to China, her struggles with the Chinese language, and her interactions with the local population. She also discusses the challenges of teaching in a foreign culture and the difficulties of being a single woman in a male-dominated society. Throughout the book, Noyes provides insight into the daily life of a missionary, including the challenges of adapting to a new environment, the importance of building relationships with the local community, and the emotional toll of being so far from home. Overall, A Light In The Land Of Sinim is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions in China or the experiences of women in the early 20th century. Noyes' memoir provides a unique perspective on a pivotal period in Chinese history and offers valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of missionary work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
