it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Were it not for the consciousness of Christ in my life, hour by hour, I could not go on. But He is teaching me the glorious lessons of His sufficiency, and each day I am carried onward with no feeling of strain or fear of collapse.

When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns. When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.

Devotion to God is still a voluntary thing; hence the differences of attainment among Christians.
