* The work . . . is steadily growing and spreading – especially in that most important department, native help. . . . The future hope of China doubtless lies in them.

* We believe that the time has come for doing more fully what He has commanded us; and by His grace we intend to do it. Not to try, for we see no Scriptural authority for trying.

(The Lord’s) command is not ‘Do your best,’ but ‘DO IT’.
** (A.J. Broomhall. Hudson Taylor and China’s Open Century, Book Six: Assault on the Nine. London: Hodder and Stoughton and Overseas Missionary Fellowship, 1988, 47).
* We have so often been disappointed that we must not be too sure of anything, save of God’s help and presence which He will never withhold.

Hudson Taylor wrote him, “We have been trying, unsuccessfully, for ten years, to get into Honan. We’ve been beaten, stoned, and turned back time and again. Brother, if you would enter that province, you must go forward on your knees!

* With GOD all things are possible, and no conviction ever takes place save by the almighty power of the HOLY GHOST. The great need, therefore, of every Christian worker is to know GOD.

** (J. Hudson Taylor. Dwelling in Him. Robesonia: Overseas Missionary Fellowship).

* I so want you to realise this principle of working with God and asking Him for everything. If the work is at the command of God, then we can go to Him in full confidence for workers; and when God gives the workers, we can go to Him for means to supply their needs.
** (J. Hudson Taylor. God's Fellow Workers. Philadelphia: Overseas Missionary Fellowship).
* Argument almost always leaves behind a sore feeling in the heart of the one who has been worsted. By loving teaching, by Christ-like living, we are to win this people for our Lord. They do not understand what disinterested love and unselfishness mean: you are to go and live it amont them.
** (J. Hudson Taylor. God's Fellow Workers. Philadelphia: Overseas Missionary Fellowship.).
