Fight to the Finish

REGRET does not come to those who enlist in the cause of truth. James Chalmers was a pioneer missionary to New Guinea. There he labored for twenty-one years amid perils and difficulties. And Returning to his own country at the end of that time, he addressed a meeting in Exeter Hall. It is recorded that he there said: “Recall these twenty-one years, give me back all its experiences, give me its shipwrecks, give me its standings in the face of death, give me it surrounded with savages with spears and clubs, give it me back again with the spears flying about me, and with the club knocking me to the ground, give it me back, and I will still be your missionary.” This was one of the world's immortals expressing his desire to “fight to the finish.”—The Lutheran.
