Excerpt from The Last Martyrs of Eromanga: Being a Memoir of the Rev. George N. Gordon and Ellen Catherine Powell, His Wife Unimportant as this Memoir may appear to many, yet, to the writer it has been a "work of sorrow - a labor of love." Though he has spared no pains in its preparation and revision, yet he is but too well aware that it is not what it ought to be, and none can be more keenly alive to its imperfections and blemishes than himself. No doubt it presents some indications of fraternal predilections, and precipitency in judgment almost inseparable from inexperienced youth. But with all its defects he humbly hopes that, having done what he could, none may deal harshly with his work, and it is his earnest prayer that God may bless it to the salvation of souls. Though the late Missionary of Eromanga had neither sons nor daughters, yet there is reason to believe that his spiritual children were not a few. Even in the island where he and his heroic partner spent so trying a part of their days, and whence they ascended in their "blood-red car, " there is much reason to believe that, through their instrumentality.
