Excerpt from A Trip to the Orient: Leaves From the Note-Book of Alice Pickford Brockway There would have been many more had we not requested them not to come. We felt we could not bear it. The afflictions and burdens of the past eight months had told on us, and we were pitiably weak and nerve-shattered. We were going now to try to forget some of these past experiences; though we could never forget the one dearer than life, whose weary body we had so recently laid to rest when her glorified spirit had ascended on high; and we prayed that, if it might be possible, she would be our guardian angel on all the long, long journey, and that God himself would go with us every step of the way. We could not realize even now that we were bound for China. The fact seemed like a dim unreality as we settled ourselves for the journey of three thousand miles by rail across the continent.
