Note 5 — Chapter XX · THE HOME FOR LEPERS AT MANDALAY.
Reading edition
It is an interesting illustration of the lights and shadows mingling in missionary life, that this journey to Rangoon Mr. Bestall speaks of, was to meet and bring home to Mandalay his bride, and it was this young lady’s first introduction to the Home for Lepers, in company with her husband, that was marked by this tragic scene! It is worthy of mention in this connection, that Mrs. Bestall, before going out to Burma, underwent a two-years’ course of training in nursing and elementary medicine, in order to be more useful among the women and girls of Burma.
