The Unoccupied Mission Fields of Africa and Asia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Unoccupied Mission Fields of Africa and Asia"The night lies dark upon the earth and we have light;So many have to grope their way, and we have sight;One path is theirs and ours - of sin and care,But we are borne along, and they their burden bear,Footsore, heart-weary, faint they on the way,Mute in their sorrow, while we kneel and pray;Glad are they of a stone on which to rest,While we lie pillowed on the Father's breast."Father, why is it that these millions roam,And guess that that is Home, and urge their wayIs it enough to keep the door ajar,In hope that some may see the gleam afar,And guess that that is Home, and urge their wayTo reach it, haply, somehow and some day?May not I go, and lend them of my light?May not mine eyes be unto them for sight?May not the brother-love Thy love portray?And news of Home make Home less far away?"- Rev.
