Speaking Of Sarah

Yes, it is interesting that Sarah Kugler's name appears in so many of the books written by early Pentecostal missionaries to China, what few books there are, two or three, whereas hundreds of other missionaries are not mentioned in the Dixon and Haist books. This may give the unintended impression that Sarah K. is the only game in town but that would not be exactly right. Sarah has her significant place in history and her voice and that is nice but there are other things to say about Pentecostal missionaries in China. Sarah may have gone the UPC route but others took cover in other denominational organizations and so there is not one "Yellow Brick Road" to China, so to speak. There may be a lot more to the story than just Sarah and her little dog Toto but very little was written down, unfortunately, so the picture is very blurry. Sarah may remember with glowing nostalgia the early days when everyone agreed with each other back in the Garden of Eden but those days are long gone and can never be again. We just have to agree to disagree on certain points. We don't really have any use for this argument, to tell the truth, if they are just going to be that way.
