Excerpt from Missionary Joys in Japan: Or Leaves From My Journal
This is the answer that the heathen are looking for. Is there a God that can change my character? Asked one in real distress. Which god shall I cry to, when I come to die? Asked a heathen boy, who was solemnised by a vivid dream of his own death. I who am the deepest sinner in this prison, can I know God? Asked a poor convict, who was convicted by his conscience. The world is full of lust; is it possible to be made clean? Asked a student. These are all merely varied forms of the old query: Is there a God who can and will answer by Fire?
To many of those who utter this pathetic cry, our answer means, spiritually, life or death. What, then, is the character of the answer? Are we really bring ing them Divine grace and Divine power; a Divine birth and a hope that carries in it power to purify? Is our Gospel work such, that God is seen to be a God who listens to the cry of distress and puts forth His saving power? Is He found to be One who does meet the seeker who draws near to Him, and then and there does lift him out of his sin.
