Chapter 4“A New Th<strong>in</strong>g”“And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send theefar hence unto the Gentiles.” (Acts 22:21)“Behold, I will do a new th<strong>in</strong>g; now it shall spr<strong>in</strong>g forth;shall ye not know it? I will even make a way <strong>in</strong> thewilderness, and rivers <strong>in</strong> the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)In Chapter Two I said I was moved by the Holy Spirit dur<strong>in</strong>gthe early days of sem<strong>in</strong>ary tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to dedicate myself for pioneerwork <strong>in</strong> the poorest villages. Now, it is said that when Simpsonfounded the Christian and Missionary Alliance he clung to theobjective of “preach<strong>in</strong>g the gospel where it was never heard”.This spirit was very much my spirit. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to my knowledgeat that time the northwestern region of Kwangsi had not heard thegospel. So, I made up my m<strong>in</strong>d from the very beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to gothere. Nevertheless, as my knowledge <strong>in</strong>creased <strong>in</strong> course of time,I learned that northwest Kwangsi was not the only dark regionunpenetrated by the gospel. There were countless areas where nopreachers could be found. I got so enthusiastic (for the gospel) atthat time that I could wish to multiply myself with the magic ofthe Monkey-god who by pluck<strong>in</strong>g off his hairs could turn each<strong>in</strong>to a replica of himself. Thereby I could fly to the uttermost partsof the earth to preach the salvation grace to them!59
