Excerpt from In Memoriam, Charles Lafayette Brown: Prepared by the Officers of the Board of Foreign Missions of the United Lutheran Church in AmericaO devote one's life to foreign mission effort requires the ardor Of a crusader, the valor Of an adventurer, the zeal of a devotee, the endur ance Of a martyr, the wisdom of a philosopher, the fidelity Of a disciple and the faith Of a Chris tian. Foreign missionaries are men and women who depend implicitly on God's grace and guidance, who believe His promises and Obey His command ments with unquestioning devotion, who hope for the triumph Of His kingdom everywhere on earth despite continued disappointments and seeming failure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
