The silver cord / by Dorothy Hulme-Moir.

Dorothy Hulme-Moir was a well known speaker in Australia and New Zealand. This book is a comprehensive account of her life, centring on her childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. The story is shaped by the life and ministry of her father, an Anglican clergyman, and her mother, as they served in parishes that ranged from a remote rural mining town to inner-city Sydney. There were the constant struggles to make ends meet; the upheavals of the First World War and the Great Depression. We read too of the humour and strains of family life; a host of colourful characters; the warmth of close-knit parish life; the privations of boarding school. Through all this runs "the silver cord of unbroken fellowship with God". Dorothy tells of her own growing faith, so powerfully effected by her particularly close relationship with her father; and of how her friendship with Frank Hulme-Moir blossomed into marriage and their extensive ministry.--Back cover.
