The Place for Missionary Work

A MISSIONARY in Borneo writes to the Missionary Review:—
“I learned a lesson from a Dutchman who had been three months one hundred miles farther up the river buying rubber, and one hundred miles from any civilized person. I said: ‘Isn’t it lonely up there?’ He answered, after a shrug of his shoulders: ‘Yes, but that is the place for rubber.’ So, if you ask me if I am lonely, I may say: ‘Yes, but this is the place for the missionary work.’”
The Lord sends his people where the light is needed. The eternal riches in the souls saved from sin, are worth all that they cost.—Selected.
