Underwood of Korea - Being an Intimate Record of the Life and Work of the Rev. H. G. Underwood, D.D., LL. D., For Thirty-One Years a Missionary of the Presbyterian Board in Korea #222439

As the writer has proceeded with this delineation it has seemed to grow more and more Clear that the one salient feature, the one dominant characteristic of the whole life, was love; a great boundless overwhelming love for God and man which knew no narrow limits of sect, or race, or place, or time. This it was that drew so many hearts to him in loving pers'onal devotion; it was such a love which carried him along, like a torch of fire, as he was Called, through his whole career. With faith and hope he was wonderfully gifted, but the love that was the essence of his being was the greatest gift of all. If, in some small degree, the study of this character and of his missionary experiences shall be of help to the readers, the aim Of the writer will be attained. Heartiest thanks are due to the many friends who assisted in gathering data: the secretaries and librarians Of our board; Dr. Brown of New York University; Dr. Avison, who wrote the incident of the Y. M. C. A. Excitement; Mr. H. H. Underwood, who wrote the para graphs on the newspaper, the beginning of the Y. M. C. A.
