THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD<br />
And Grade's mother, though with a rent heart, accepted<br />
this poignant sorrow in the same ~pirit. Father<br />
and mother were one in this . .<strong>The</strong>re was no repining, no<br />
looking back, only a determination to trust unerring<br />
love. <strong>The</strong> more that sorrow revealed the depths of their<br />
own love, the more it <strong>man</strong>ifested to them the heart of<br />
Him <strong>who</strong> so loved the world as to give His only Son.<br />
Not long before he had written to his mother:<br />
"It is an easy thing to sing, 'I all on earth forsake'. It is<br />
not very difficult to think, and honestly though ignorantly<br />
to say, 'I give up all to <strong>The</strong>e, and for <strong>The</strong>e'. B.ut <strong>God</strong> sometimes<br />
teaches one that that little word 'all' is terribly comprehensive."<br />
<strong>The</strong> value of Hudson Taylor's testimony lies in the<br />
fact that terribly comprehensive as it proved to be the<br />
refining fire revealed only genuine gold and not the<br />
dross of self-deception. Hudson Taylor's simple, childlike<br />
faith stood all the stern tests of an exacting life and<br />
heart-rending sorrow~. and he still continued "stedfast,<br />
unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord".<br />
He never could exhaust the infinite wealth of those<br />
simple words: "Like as a father."
