An old Roman coin was found on which was a picture of an ox, one of the servants of man. The ox was facing two things, an altar and a plough. The inscription read, "Ready for either."

To those servants of God who made the supreme sacrifice upon the altar of martyrdom in Japanese prisoner of war camps of in the fetid jungles of Borneo:

Rev. C. Russell Deibler
Dr. Robert A. Jaffray
Rev. W. Ernest Presswod
Rev. John F. Willfinger
Rev. Andrew Sande
Mrs. Helen Sande
Baby David Jerome Sande
Rev. Fred C. Jackson

And to those who put their hands to the plough of service for the Master, never looking back, surviving the imprisonment, deprivation, separation from and loss of loved ones, hunger, beatings, and rape, and bearing in their bodies the cost of following the Master wherever He led, until He called them home:

Mrs. Robert A. Jaffray
Miss Margaret M. Jaffray
Miss Lillian F. Marsh
Miss Margaret E. Kemp
Miss Philoma R. Seely
Mrs. Mary A. Dixon
Miss Grace M. Ditmar

To these, my beloved fellow missionaries, who loved me, guided me, and inspired me, the youngest missionary among them, I lovingly dedicate this book. Out of the past and from the distant shore, I hear them calling, "Run, Darlene, run! Run with perserverance the race that is set before you. It is worth it all!"
And so I run!
