I saw the duty and inestimable privilege _immediately_ to accept salvation by Christ. Humbly believing that through sovereign mercy and grace I have been enabled so to do, and having felt in some measure its effects on my still depraved and deceitful heart, it is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to his service.

All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.

Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond

In this service I hope to live; in it I wish to die!

I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.

I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.

Sympathy is no substitute for action.
