Ida B. Snavely
Waterloo, IA
[1922]
Anna V. Blough
How mightily the Lord can use those lives that are offered unreservedly for His service. Such might be said of the life of our departed loved one, Anna V. Blough. Her quiet and retiring girlhood, spent in a very ordinary farm home, in a typical Brethren community, gave little indication of the wonderful fullness of service and accomplishment that were to crown her brief thirty-six years of life. But as she grew from girlhood to womanhood and sought to find her place in life, the crying need of an unsaved world brought her to offer her life for service wherever she might be needed, and China was the field to which she was assigned and which she had come to love so genuinely. After she had once purposed to become a foreign missionary she sought every opportunity to prepare herself most fully for the work, both in schooling and practical preparation, well knowing that they are the most successful workers who can turn their hands to whatever emergency mar arise.
It was in 1913 that Anna in company with a group of new missionaries and Bro. Early of the Mission Board, sailed for China. The following years were spent
