The Rising Sun (Mildred Hatcher)

When eighteen-year-old Matilda Hatcher, daughter of a Hampshire shepherd, pleaded to be allowed to serve in the slums, the Salvation Army officer interviewing her thought she would be unable to live amid the evil encountered daily in great cities. He decided, however, to let her 'try for year In The Rising Sun'. Matilda's story is told with forceful simplicity. The one year of service with The Salvation Army extended to a lifetime and led Matilda far from the back streets of London to be God's messenger in the Far East. Matilda Hatcher could not remem- ber a time when she had not been aware of the beauty and holiness of God, This sensitivity, and her aware- ness of righteousness and love revealed in Jesus, enabled her to draw people of many nationalities into His presence.
