Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel in All Lands, 1898 The Bible was my companion, and, as never before, its truths seemed new and di vinely illuminated. My stateroom was my sanctuary where I communed with God and found relief from the perplexities and trials that assailed me. The occurrence of mv weekly fast and my times of secret prayer brought to me joys unknown before. From the first it had been matter of serious concern with me that before entering on my work in China everything in me not in har mony with the divine will and purpose might be removed, that my heart might be filled with love to God, that he would give me the perfect equipment for my mission which only the Holy Spirit can impart, and that he would prepare the way before me. These supplications were not in vain. 'i received the assurance that God did take full possession of my heart, that he did ap prove me as one of his missionaries to the Chinese, and that his presence would go with me, preparing the way before me. This blessed assurance was given me Octo ber 24, 1847, while wrestling with God in my stateroom. A light such as I had never seen shone into my soul, a joy never before experienced filled my heart, a peace that passeth all understanding took possession of me, and to this day I have never felt any serious doubts in regard to the subject.
