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

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

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay? All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice.

Remember us in your prayers that we grow not weary in well doing. It is hard to work for years with pure motives, and all the time be looked upon by most of those to whom our lives are devoted as having some sinister object in view. Disinterested labor - benevolence - is so out of their line of thought, that many look upon us as having some ulterior object in view; but He who died for us, and Whom we ought to copy, did more for us than we can do for any one else. He endured the contradiction of sinners. We should have grace to follow in His steps.

I view the end of the geographical feat as the beginning of the missionary enterprise.

I have found that I have no unusual endowments of intellect, but this day I resolve that I will be an uncommon Christian.

God had only one Son, and He was a missionary.
