Margaret on Deciding Not to Go Back to Siam

Description

Margaret tells of the reasons that led her and Kenneth to decide not to go back to the mission field. One reason was the children. The Landons had seen the havoc that mission work had on the children of some of their colleagues. There was also the question of enemity among missionaries. Then, later on, the Landons realized that it was in God's providence that they did not return to mission.
