A Missionary speaking of his hopes of the recent revival in this country says in regard to funds necessary to the propagation of the gospel:
We are not directed to pray for funds, because if a man (or woman) is converted he brings all his resources into the church, as a thing of course. His property is redeemed from the service of the devil as well as his soul. One belongs to the church as much as the other. God will not accept the heart that keeps back part of the price. I say, we are not commanded to pray for funds, but for laborers. We have funds as a thing of course, if we have laborers. The church which will send her sons and daughters will send her money.
I say again the third time, and always, we want men and women as laborers in the world-wide field.
