- "The church will not forget that in Monterey, the very first standard of Protestantism was reared, and that by a courageous and self-denying woman. Miss Melinda Rankin was the true pioneer of missionary labor in Mexico, and it was chiefly through her example and appearls in this country that an interest was awakened." (en)
