DR. DUFF'S MESSAGE


Dr Alexander Duff, the fantastic veteran missionary to India, returned to Scotland to die, and as he stood earlier than the general meeting of the Presbyterian Church, he made his enchantment, but there was no reaction. inside the midst of his appeal he fainted and became carried off the platform. The medical doctor bent over him and tested his coronary heart. currently he opened his eyes.
"wherein am I?" He cried. "where am I?"
"Lie nevertheless," said the doctor. "Your heart may be very vulnerable."
"however," exclaimed the antique warrior, "I have to end my appeal. Take me again. Take me again. i haven't completed my appeal yet."
"Lie nevertheless," said the physician again, "you're too vulnerable to move again."

however the aged missionary struggled to his toes, his willpower overcoming his weak point; and with the medical doctor on one aspect and the moderator, on the opposite side, the antique white-haired warrior changed into led once more to the platform, and as he established the pulpit steps, the whole assembly rose to do him honour. Then he persisted his enchantment.

"whilst Queen Victoria calls for volunteers for India," he exclaimed, " hundreds of young men respond; however whilst king JESUS calls, no one goes." Then he paused. once more he spoke. "Is  it authentic," he requested, that Scotland has no extra sons to provide for India?" once more he paused. "thoroughly," he concluded, "if Scotland has no extra younger guys to send to India, then, vintage and decrepit although i am, i'm able to move back, and despite the fact that I can not pontificate, i can lie down at the shores of the Ganges and die, so one can permit the peoples of India understand that there is at least one guy in Scotland who cares sufficient for his or her souls to present his existence for them."

In a moment younger men, all over the assembly, sprang to their toes, crying out, "i'll go!" And after the well-known missionary had exceeded on, a lot of the ones identical younger men discovered their manner to India, there to invest their lives as missionaries, because of the attraction God had made thru Dr, Duff.

today, God is still making that appeal, are you able to soar unto your ft like one of those younger guys and say "Lord, ship me to the challenge discipline."
