...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.

I feel it my duty to plod on while daylight last.

Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.

One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.

Expect great things from God, receive great things from God. Expect little from God, receive little from God.

I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.

The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
