    About this ebook

    Mabel Ruth Williamson was an American missionary to China. She served under the auspices of the China Inland Mission, later known as the Overseas Missionary Fellowship. Have We No Rights? A frank discussion of the "rights" of missionaries is her best known work. Williamson shows the difference between suffering hardships and suffering the infringement of one's rights. She believes that as Christians we must be willing to give up the right to the comforts of life, physical health and safety, the privacy in business, friends, romance, family, and home.

      A very frank discussion about the "rights" of missionaries by a missionary with China Inland Mission. A lady who no doubt had to work through many of the problems posed here, Miss Williamson uses her experiences of work on the field to illustrate her answers. Rights include, "Right to a Normal Home Life"; Right to Run Things."; Right to my own Time", etc. Gives an interesting picture of life in 1930s China serving with the well-respected China Inland Mission.
