The Secret of Successful Work for God

A WORKER in Africa, on visiting an outschool in the midst of heathen darkness, says, “To see a village school numbering forty or so, their ages ranging from five to thirty, singing lustily the hymns we love to sing, is a sight which arouses in me a feeling I cannot describe; my heart simply goes out to them, and I feel that I never loved a company of people so much before in my life. To get up and tell them of Jesus and his love is an easy matter, for their earnest faces appeal to all that is in me.” This is the secret of successful work for God, whether in the heart of Africa or among sinners anywhere else. It was this that brought Christ down from above.
