A MISSIONARY MOMENT.... From the notes of a
Methodist missionary to Africa in 1832. He had
been asked why he wanted to serve in such a
difficult environment as he was. He
replied Some want to live within the Sound of
church or chapel bell I just want to run a
rescue shop Within a yard of Hell. CHESTERFIELD
