註釋Supervising the lavish Palace of an Emperor is a rare experience for missionaries; but this position was accepted by Della Hanson after she had spent years as a teacher in Ethiopia. The Hansons also had a hundred thrilling experiences during the Italo-Ethiopia War. They saw God's providential guidance in crisis after crisis. How an American woman takes charge of a Palace, directs the planning of royal receptions and banquets, and meets countless delicate situations with a refreshing sense of humor is narrated in fascinating detail. Here is mission adventure for God and for the country they served, in thrilling form that only the Hanson can write. Sixteen pages of photographs by the authors. - Preface. PART I.
