Description

Excerpt from A Life With a Purpose: A Memorial of John Lawrence Thurston, First Missionary of the Yale Mission The unanimity of opinion regarding Lawrence among the contributors to the volume, who reached their con clusions independently of one another, would seem to justify the attempt in the Opening chapter to formulate and to interpret that particular thought of God which in him became incarnate. The life of Lawrence Thurston brings a different message to the college students of the world from that of the life of Hugh Beaver or of Horace Pitkin or of Horace Rose. It reiterates a fundamental principle of Christ which mankind in its search after leaders has largely forgotten, and the obscuring of which has kept many a man in our time content to live but half a life. It demonstrates the great and eternal truth that in the kingdom of God no man need belong to the rank and file Of men, and that, through the miracle of obedi ence, every man whom the world is pleased to call ordi nary may become extraordinary, since, by the grace of God, all men were born to be kings. It establishes what Bushnell once affirmed; that God is girding every man for a place and a calling, in which, taking it from him, even though it be internally humble, he may be as consciously exalted as if he held the rule of a kingdom.
