Missionary in China
IN MEMORIAM MARY ADAMS
The Sterling Women' s Missionary Society recalls with gratitude the long, faithful, and devoted ministry of Miss Mary Adams for Christ and His church. Her public ministry began in youth at the Indian Mission. In 1912 she was appointed as an evangelistic missionary to China and her love and care for Chinese people continued to the day of her death, December 13, 1974. When detained from China during World War II, she served in our Kentucky Mission, but later returned to China. When missionaries were forced out of China by the advance of the Communists, she went to Japan with our missionaries who opened up work there. When she reached retirement age she moved to Wichita, Kansas and went almost daily into Chinese homes there to teach the Bible. Blindness, increasing deafness, and declining physical strength did not lessen her zeal or diminish her faithfulness. Her selfless, untiring devotion will continue to be a challenge to the whole church. Truly she was faithful unto death and now has received the crown of life that does not fade away. "This is not death, but triumph and reward: To walk by faith through all life's little day And then, at eventide, to meet the Lord And hand in hand with Him to go away. "This is not death — this is abundant life, Eternal life, the freeing of the soul For bliss beyond earth's time of toil and strife This is not death, but the immortal goal."
