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

All I can say in my solitude is, May Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one - American, English, Turk - who will help to heal this open sore of the world.

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

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

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege.

I never made a sacrifice. Of this we ought not to talk when we remember the great sacrifice which he made who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself for us.

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.
