Keep It Warm by Working

Mrs. Ann Hasseltine Judson wrote while in Burma: "Nothing do I dread so much as becoming cold and worldly-minded, and losing the life of religion in the soul. Tho I have but few temptations, I find that the innate depravity of my heart is constantly showing itself in some way or other. I find it is just as necessary to watch and pray and guard against easy besetting sins in this heathen land as in any other situation. O for a more holy heart, more fervent love to God, and more ardent longings for the promotion of His cause!"

That is the spirit which ought to possess not only Christians in mission fields, but Christians at home.

"The missionary enterprise is not man's work, to be picked up and dropped at will. It is not natural, but supernatural; not a human, but a spiritual movement."
