A true missionary "is one sent of God" on a definite mission, with a definite message. He is not only to tell men that God can so change their hearts that they will delight to do His will, but he is to show them that it is being done in his own life. The real missionary will not forget that he preaches more loudly by what he is and does than by what he thinks and says. His life is to be a living sermon. The trials which come to him are designed of God as a means of showing His mighty power in a human life. The awful trial of Job revealed to all the sons of God—to all the universe—that God could create a heart that could not be offended.
The true missionary knows that nothing is impossible with God, first for himself, and second for others. Though confronted with walls of heathenism and superstition that are "very great," he will have the courage of Caleb and Joshua in the face of every seemingly impossible obstacle.
Manilla, P. I.
