God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.

I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. If anything will advance the interests of that kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only in reference to whether giving or keeping will most promote the glory1 of him to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity.

Death alone will put a stop to my effort!

All I can say in my solitude is, May Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one - American, English, Turk - who will help to heal this open sore of the world.

It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.

If we have not enough in our religion . . . to share it with all the world, it is doomed here at home.

Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
