For five years we never went outside our doors without a volley of curses from our neighbours.

Funds are low again, hallelujah! That means God trusts us and is willing to leave His reputation in our hands.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.

...I do not say, Don't play games or cricket and so forth. By all means play and enjoy them, giving thanks to Jesus for them. Only take care that games do not become an idol to you as they did to me. What good will it do to anybody in the next world to have been the best player that ever has been? And then think of the difference between that and winning souls for Jesus.

Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!

Send us people with initiative, who can carry themselves and others too; such as need to be carried hamper the work and weaken those who should be spending their strength on the heathen. Weaklings should be nursed at home! If any have jealousy, prides, or talebearing traits lurking about them, do not send them, nor any who are prone to criticize. Send only Pauls and Timothys; men who are full of zeal, holiness and power. All others are hindrances. If you send us ten such men the work will be done.
