An Unseen Stone in Africa

A BRILLIANT Oxford student was giving himself to the Wesleyan Missionary Society for African service. His tutor remonstrated: “You are going out to die in a year or two. It is madness.” The young man (who did die after being on the field only a year) answered: “I think it is with African missions as with the building of a great bridge. You know how many stones have to be buried in the earth all unseen to be a foundation for the bridge. If Christ wants me to be one of the unseen stones lying in an African grave, I am content.”—Selected.
