The missionary spirit is the spirit of Jesus, the spirit of the incarnation and the cross.
There has never been a successful social movement for any minority without the support of the majority.
God means just what He says and He will do all that He has promised.
It matters not how great the pressure is, only where the pressure lies. As long as the pressure does not come between me and my Savior, but presses me to Him, then the greater the pressure, the greater my dependence upon Him.
We have heard of many people who trusted God too little, but have you ever heard of anyone who trusted Him too much?
Wave after wave of trial rolled over us; but at the end of the year some of us were constrained to confess, that we had learned more of the loving-kindness of the Lord than in any previous year of our lives.
In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.
If I had 1,000 lives, I’d give them all for China.
Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them.
When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns. When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

You do not need a great faith, but faith in a great God.
Satan may build a hedge about us and fence us in and hinder our movements, but he cannot roof us in and prevent our looking up.
The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.
Our joy in Him may be a fluctuating thing: His joy in us knows no change.
All God’s giants have been weak men and women who have gotten hold of God’s faithfulness.
Unless there is the element of extreme risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.
A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a great thing.
Oh, for eloquence to plead the cause of China, for a pencil dipped in fire to paint the condition of this people.
Unless you intend your wife to be a true missionary, not merely a wife, home-maker, and friend, do not join us.
When we work, we work. When we pray, God works.
