Excerpt from Alice Maxwell: Deaconess In Mr. Livingstone's Life of Mary Slessor he quotes her words: "There is nothing small or trivial, for God is ready to take every act and motive and work through them to the formation of character and the development of holy and useful lives that will convey grace to the world." And then he adds: "It was so in her case, and hence the value of her example, and the warrant for telling the story of her life so that others may be influenced to follow aims as noble and to strive, if not always in the same manner, at least with a like courage, and in the same patient and indomitable spirit." This must be my warrant for the story I have tried to write of a consecrated and noble life given wholly to God, her country, and her Church. It has been written through days of deep anxiety and great sorrow, and I have often felt wholly unworthy and unable to carry out such a task, but it has been a labour of love, and if in any way it is of use in deepening the spiritual life and raising the high aims of our Guild members I shall greatly rejoice.
