Christina Forsyth: The Loneliest Woman
Story★★★★In 1920 there died a woman who was described as the loneliest woman in the world. I refer to Mrs. Christina Forsyth. For thirty years she lived, the only white woman, in an African village. For thirty years this brave white woman was living alone among black heathen people to win them for her Lord and Master. Some one, during a conversation, spoke to her about the awful loneliness of her life, and she replied : “I am never alone.”
The point
Christina Forsyth spent thirty years as the only white woman in an African village as a missionary. Despite the loneliness of her isolation, she testified that she was never alone, possessing God's constant presence.
