DESCRIPTION
The great missionary biographies are the records of incompleted lives. May it not be that the influence exerted by the record is the completion of the work that seemed to be prematurely laid down? David Brainerd died at the age of thirty, Henry Martyn at thirty-two, Keith Falconer at thirty-one, Mackay at forty-one. There are biographies of older men-Livingstone, Judson, Patteson, French-which have powerfully affected men, but a disproportionate number of the effective books have dealt with short lives. This life of Irene Petrie is another illustration of this fact. She spent four years in missionary service and died at the very beginning of her work. It was one more incomplete life awaiting fulfillment in the lives of men and women who will take up the work which she loved and served, through the holy persuasion of her example and spirit.
