Description:Excerpt from A History of Woman's Organized Missionary Work as Promoted by American Women When Columbus came to the Spanish court with his. Reason able eloquence it fell on many indifferent or suspicious ears, but Isabella believed. Amid the general incredulity, he says, the Almighty infused the Queen, my Lady, with a spirit of intelligence and energy, and, while every one else expatiated on the inconven ience and cost, she gave all the support in her power. That country which she cheered On an enthusiast to find, the women whose birthright it is have determined shall be preserved. Isabella plead with every fresh out-going commander across the Atlantic that he would be pitiful to the poor slaves in the West Indies; in our time we have seen cultivated women go down themselves to the degraded black race, the abused red race, the scorned yellow race. The devout Queen of the fifteenth century yearned to send the Holy Faith abroad and to save souls in India, China and Japan. Yes, lovely Isabella, you took the longest way round but it was the shortest way home to the consummation of your wish. American women, rank upon rank, respond to your longing. They have torn off the XV century clasp from your Bible and sent the Word of God to have free course in the real China, India and Japan. If, after four hundred years of Heavenly training, she has developed anything in proportion to the goodness of her life on earth, it would rejoice Isabella more, _ to-day, to know that, than the distinguished fact of a civilized world celebrating the Dis covery with which her name is linked.
