Pray on, dear one- the power lies that way

If you play with temptation do not expect God will deliver you

It were worthwhile to die, if thereby a soul could be born again.

Christ sent me to preach the gospel and he will look after the results.

If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, wherever you are.

Why should I fear? I am on a Royal Mission. I am in the service of the King of kings.

Lord, the task is impossible for me but not for Thee. Lead the way and I will follow.

Blessed the man and woman who is able to serve cheerfully in the second rank - a big test.

My life is one long daily, hourly record of answered prayer. For physical health, for mental overstrain, for guidance given marvelously, for errors and dangers averted, for enmity to the Gospel subdued, for food provided at the exact hour needed, for everything that goes to make up life and my poor service. I can testify, with a full and often wonder-stricken awe, that I believe God answers prayer.
