My desire to 'go far hence unto the Gentiles' is not of recent origin. As soon as I could comprehend the worth of the soul, and the duty of Christians to 'deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain,' it took possession of my heart. It has ever since grown with my growth, and strengthened with my strength. I rejoiced greatly when the Synod of our Church came to the conclusion, that the time had at last arrived when we ought to look beyond the limits of our own land, and send the messengers of salvation to 'the dark places of the earth.' When the question was asked, 'Who will go for us?' I felt constrained to say, though it was painful to flesh and blood, 'Here am I, send me.'
