A Missionary Motto

It is stated that the motto of Rev. John Wilkinson, for fifty years a missionary among the Jews, was, “Ask God, and tell his people.” This motto is based upon two great principles: first, that God is the source of all blessing in missionary work, and second, that he uses his people as the agency through which to bestow his blessings. It is no denial of faith in God to keep before the people the fullest information concerning the mission work, as a means of enlisting their interest in it. Even the apostle Paul recounted among the churches at home the work which God had wrought through him in preaching the gospel among the gentiles. His example is a safe one to follow.
