Excerpt from A Young Missionary: Or the Life of Bertha Rasmussen When I felt that God wanted me to write a short sketch of my daughter's life, it was done with much prayer, and with the desire that it might go out to bless the world, and with the expectation that it might stir up its readers to a closer walk with God, and if possible roll the burden of a lost world on young soldiers, and lead them to give their lives for the cause that was on the heart of our dear departed. If this is accomplished, my labors will be well rccompensed. Introduction Our acquaintance with Bertha Rasmussen, the subject of this sketch, began when she was about eleven years of age, through correspondence, in the interest of the famine children of India. A missionary spirit pervaded her letters, indicating that the spirit of God was moving on the heart of the child in behalf of the heathen. Later, at about fourteen years of age, Bertha came with her mother and brother to the Vanguard Missionary Training Home, St. Louis, Mo., and became an efficient typesetter, spending part of her time in school. She was a lovely Christian character and gave promise of great usefulness for God. A year later she went to McGee Holiness College, College Mound, Mo., and went home to glory from there. Her beautiful life can never cease to bear fruit unto God. We trust this "Memoir" will be the means of bringing many to Jesus.
