Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blood Red Dawn The pastor's announcement had been swallowed up in a hum of truant inattention, and as the heralded speaker made, his appearance upon the platform Claire Robson, leaning forward, said to her mother: "What?... Did you catch his name?" "A foreigner of some sort!" replied Mrs. Robson, with smug sufficiency. For a moment the elder woman's sneer dulled the edge of Claire's anticipations, but presently the man began to speak, and at once she felt a sense of power back of his halting words, a sudden bursting forth of bloom amid the frozen assembly that sat ice-bound, refusing to be melted by the fires of an alien enthusiasm. She could not help wondering whether he felt how hopeless it would be to force a sympathetic response from his audience. In ordinary times the Second Presbyterian Church of San Francisco could not possibly have had any interest in Serbia except as a field for foreign missionaries.
