Quote of the week

"Many times have I been ready to shrink back, and to say, Lord, I pray thee, have me excused; but if God should honor us by permission to lay foundations, foundations of his church in Siam, ... we shall have reason to praise Him through all eternity, for having employed us in such a service. Over and over again have I been obliged to say to myself, that the only way of doing any thing to promote a great object is to try and try again, and when one plan fails, to resort to another; and if God spares my life, I am resolved to keep on trying till my work is done." —Eliza Jones (from This Day in Baptist History II)
