In this service I hope to live; in it I wish to die!
Shall I tell you what supported me through all those years of exile among a people whose language I could not understand and whose attitude towards me we always uncertain and often hostile? It was this: "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world".
Fastings and vigils without a special object in view are time run to waste.
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
May the time come when rich men and great men would think it an honor to support whole stations of missionaries in Africa, instead of spending their money on hounds and horses.
