"I'm going to get a good education. Papa and mamma said they'd help me, but I want to earn the money myself, and then go a long time."
"And then you'll be a missionary won't you?"
"Could I?"
"You can if you choose."
"What must I do?"
"You must be a good Christian at home, and do all you can for Jesus now. Whoever is not good at home is the same away from home. Do things so people will all love you. If your associates and acquaintances do not love you, it is not likely the heathen will, and love is a great deal of the missionary's preparation. And give. If you have not much, give a little, and if you have more, give proportionately. But it is not all in giving. There is more even in living for the Lord, and just letting one's self be all His."

"It says we must 'Go', yes."
"Were there heathen fifty years ago?"
