Autobiography of missionary Ejnar Leopold Larson (1882-1967). He was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, and immigrated to the United States in 1906. After graduating from God's Bible School and Missionary Training Center in Cincinnati in 1912 he traveled to Hong Kong (Kowloon) and China where he and his wife Rose were to serve the greater part of the next twenty-five years as missionaries (from 1914 to 1940). They worked with the Peniel Missionary Society. After returning to the United States he lived in New York state and spent a couple years working at the Pilgrim Holiness Victory Grove Campground near Albany. In 1949 he took up permanent residence in Arlington, Snohomish County, Washington. The last 45 pages are letters written by Ejnar while in Hong Kong between 1932 and 1940, with annotations by his son, John Wesley Larson.
