On the mission field it is not the enduring of hardships, the lack of comforts, and the roughness of the life that make the missionary cringe and falter. It is something far less romantic and far more real. The missionary has to give up having his own way. He has to give up having any rights. He has, in the words of Jesus, to ‘deny himself.’ He just has to give up himself.
~ Mabel Williamson
