Excerpt from China's Millions, 1888 Months of earnest prayer resulted In a deep conviction' that a Special agency was essential for the evangelisation of Inland China; and that, by simple trust in god, such an agency might be raised up and sustained without interfering injuriously with any existing work. I had an equally deep conviction that god would have me to seek from Him the needed workers, and to go forth with them. But for a long time unbelief hindered my taking the first step. How inconsistent unbelief always 15. L I had no doubt that, if I prayed for workers, in the Name of the lord jesus christ, they would be given me. I had no doubt that, in answer to Such prayer, the means for our going forth would be provided, and that doors would be opened before us in unreached parts Of the Empire. But I had not then learned to trust god for keeping power and grace for myself, so no wonder that I could not trust Him to keep others who might be prepared to go with me. I feared that in the midst of the dangers, difficulties, and trials which would necessarily be connected with such a work, some who were comparatively inexperienced Christians might break down, and bitterly reproach me for having encouraged them to undertake an enterprise for which they were unequal.
