Excerpt from Last Letters Further Records of Martyred Missionaries: Of the China Inland Mission
IT was prophetically foretold of the Apostle and High Priest of our profession that He asked life of Thee, and Thou gavest it Him, even length of days for ever and ever and of count less numbers of His followers in every age it has been true that, the deliverance which they sought from cruel persson tions has been given them through death rather than from death. So it was with the martyred ones in China, native and foreign. Their prayers, and ours for them, were not unanswered, though they were answered in god's own way. And as for god, His way is perfect. Our faith must rest here. Yet a little while and we shall see the fruits of their suffering, and learn the reason more fully when we see them shining with their lord, whom they followed even unto death.
