Sacrifice or Privilege

By Livingstone

PEOPLE talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great gift owing to our God, which we can never repay? Is that a sacrifice, which brings its own best reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and a glorious destiny hereafter? Away with the word in such a view, and with such a thought! It is emphatically no sacrifice. It is a privilege.—Livingstone.
