It has always happened hitherto that whenever I have begun to feel an attachment to places, persons, or things, of a merely temporary nature, I have been carried away from them. Amen!

Even if I should never see a native converted, God may design by my patience and continuance in the Word to encourage future missionaries.

I see no business in life but the work of Christ.

How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with such case and accuracy?
