THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD<br />
as ever in spirit, was physically unequal to the strain of<br />
leadership. But it is significant that when organizing his<br />
last advance prior to the Boxer persecutions, he had<br />
written:<br />
"If the Spirit of <strong>God</strong> works mightily, we may be quite<br />
sure the spirit of evil will also be active .... Pray that <strong>God</strong><br />
will prevent the breaking up of the Empire, and not allow<br />
Mission work here to be hindered as it has been in Tahiti,<br />
Madagascar, parts of Africa, and elsewhere."<br />
And when the Boxer crisis was over, and the records<br />
of the Martyred Missionaries of the China Inland Mission<br />
were published, he wrote in the Preface to that volume<br />
the following words:<br />
"Will not some hear the voice of the Master calling them<br />
to go out and take the place of those called higher .... Let us<br />
never forget that a million a month in China are dying without<br />
<strong>God</strong>."<br />
<strong>The</strong> ruling passion of his life was strong to the very<br />
end. He <strong>believed</strong> in the perpetual need of the wagon and<br />
the oxen, that it was not <strong>God</strong>'s purpose that His work<br />
should ever be stationary, but Always Advancing.
