Dr. Wilder, a dynamic missionary leader in India, was dining with three naval officers. During the course of the conversation one of the officers remarked, “Why don’t these missionaries stay at home and mind there own business?”
Dr. Wilder replied, “suppose you were ordered to take your battleship to Constantinople tomorrow, would you choose weather to obey or not?”
The Officer retorted, If we are ordered to go we must go, even if every ship is sunk and every sailor killed.”
“Quite right,” said the missionary. “I have orders from the divine Government:’ go and preach the gospel to every creature.’ ”

Christ Has No Hands But Ours!!!
Christ has no hands but our hands
To do his work today;
He has no feet but our feet
To lead men in His way;
He has no tongue but our tongues
To tell men how he died;
He has no help but our help
To bring them to His side
We are the only Bible
This careless world will read;
We are the sinners Gospel
We are the scoffer’s creed;
We are the Lord’s last message
Written in deed and word
What is the line is crooked?
What is the type is blurred?
What if our hands are busy
With other work than His?
What if our feet are walking
Where sin’s allurement is?
What if our tongues are speaking
Of things His lips would spurn?
How can we hope to help Him
Unless from Him we learn?
