Is not one of the great difficulties in Christendom at the present time, which hinders the giving to missions, the lack of the spirit of the missionary among many who have been sent out? The true missionary spirit is well expressed by Mrs. Judson in one of her letters. Meeting difficulties and trials, suffering from sickness, having few of the comforts which missionaries now generally have, still she writes: "It is my comfort and happiness that just such a Being [as God] is at the head of the universe, and has the entire control and direction of the kingdoms of the earth and of every individual, from the highest to the lowest. How transporting is the thought that this great and infinitely glorious Being is accessible to finite, mortal, sinful creatures! that He is not only willing to receive them, but commands them to come, partake of that happiness which He Himself enjoys! What blessings, what infinite, eternal blessings have been procured for sinners through the suffering of Jesus! Who can describe the height and depth, the breadth and length, of the love of Christ?"
