I will try and remember always to approach God in secret with as much reverence in speech, posture, and behavior as in public. Help me, Thou who knowest my frame and pitiest as a father his children.

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

Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond

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

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

I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.

Cannot the love of Christ carry the missionary where the slave-trade carries the trader? I shall open up a path to the interior or perish.
