old paths where the good way is timeless truth from the bible christian teaching thought and meditations from prior times read by missionary to africa james robinette thoughts from hudson taylor's spiritual secret by jay hudson taylor we did not come to china because missionary work here was either safe or easy but because he called us We did not enter upon our present positions under a guarantee of human protection, but relying on the promise of His Presence. The accidents, or ease, or difficulty, of apparent safety or danger, of man's approval or disapproval, in no wise affect our duty. Should circumstances arise involving us in what may seem special danger, we shall have grace, I trust, to manifest the depth and reality of our confidence in Him. and by faithfulness to our charge to prove that we are followers of the Good Shepherd who did not flee from death itself.
