Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond

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

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

Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.

If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?

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.

And although I see few results, future missionaries will see conversions following every sermon. May they not forget the pioneers who worked in the thick gloom with few rays to cheer, except such as flow from faith in the precious promises of God's Word.
