ampore in 1793, set up a printing press, and God’s Word went out in' Over forty different languages-* and dialects. Carey was really the “key” man in starting the modem world wide missionary movement. Drunken George Muller was con verted in 1825, and became a pastor in England. Seeking to live for Christ, emphasizing faith and earnest prayer, he established, under God, an orphan age caring for over two thousand chil dren. He prayed mofe than $7,000,000 from God’s bountiful hand. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, a pastor at. eighteen, planned to enter college. But the Lord said: “Seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not” (Jer. 45:5). Accordingly, though never despising the value of a college education, Spurgeon did not attend college. He studied diligently and systematically, however, and became a deep thinker, having educated himself while serv ing the Lord in active ministry. A mighty speaker, he was called to one of London’s largest churches. His ser mons were literally, sold by tons. Christ ruled his life. D. L. Moody was converted at twen ty-two, and immediately began serv ing Christ. Refused a regular Sunday- school class, he gathered street urchins and started his own. He became a city missionary, and worked also with soldiers of the war between the states. He preached in many parts of the world, and is credited with having won a million souls to Christ. Realizing his own educational lack, he started three Christian schools. He was the most eminent of modern evangelists. Francis E. Clark, founder of Chris- : tian Endeavor, also sought to live for Christ. ' While pastor in Portland, Maine, he organized the first Chris tian Endeavpr Society and saw it grow to a world-wide organization. He labored in Christian Endeavor work until his death in 1927. CONCLUSION: “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of” Poly- carp, St. Francis, John Calvin, John Knox, John Wycliffe, William Tyn- dale, George Fox, Jonathan- Edwards, Charles G. Finney, William Booth, R. A. Torrey, Hudson Taylor, and others, who “through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, o b t a i n e d promised . . . of whom the world was not worthy” (Heb. 11:33, 38). Rich treasures are to be found in their biographies. Who follows in their train? Let us: leayn to die utterly to “self”; die to our own opinions, our own de sires, our ambitions, our wants. Let us die to the approval of the world, of our associates, and even of our best Christian friends. Let us study only to be’approved unto God!
edge that God uses, but great likeness to Christ.” Paul explained the process thus: j “I anj crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me . . (cf. Gal. 2:20). We become like Christ as we let Him live out' His life in us! Young Augustine, harassed by in continence, sought relief in false re ligions, but found none. Converted in Milati in the fourth century, he be came one of Christendom’s greatest theologians. He championed God’s grace, and battled heretical teachings. He lived for Christ. Martin Luther was returning to Wit- tenburg University, and a storm so frighteneü him that he entered the priesthood. A conscientious priest (Roman Catholic), he visited Rome, and witnessing terrible hypocrisy, he determined to reform the Church. In 1517 he posted his ninety-five theses against Church practices, and the Ref ormation began. John Wesley was fifteenth of nine teen children. A h a r d ,,methodical worker^ he lived simply. Converted in 1738, he began a fruitful ministry, preaching more sermons, prdbably, than any other man. Some historians declare that his work kept England from a worse revolution than that in France. William Carey, asked whether he were in the shoemaking business, re plied: “My business is to serve the Lord! I make shoes to pay expenses.” He yearned to carry the gospel to In dia, but was told, “ When God gets ready to convert the heathen, He’ll do it without our interfering!” But CarEy had heard God’s call. He kept a world map in his home, and served while he prayed for the world, and India in particular. He finally arrived at Ser-

It is not because Sue W aring was capable and talent ed—-although she was—but be cause of her beautiful Christian life that this story is such an en couragement.
