Consecrated to Missions

Consecrated to Missions.—"Is it not a great trial to you to part with your eldest son?" said a missionary secretary to a gentleman who had come to London to take leave of his son, who was to embark the next day for a foreign land. "Yes," was the answer, "it is a great trial; but I have been expecting it for a long time. The day my son was born," he continued, "I attended a missionary meeting, and was greatly impressed with what I heard. When I went home I took the babe out of bed, and holding it in my arms, I said to my wife, ‘Will you give this boy to the missions?’ Yes,’ she replied, ‘I will.’ From that time, I have been expecting he would go, tho he never knew the circumstance till he offered himself as a missionary.” —Selected.
