7. Miss Edith Studd
“I wondered about my sisters, but for myself only half of me belonged to the life of Hyde Park Gardens.  The other half felt guilty that I did not follow my parents, who had renounced their former (lavish and care-free lives] and become missionaries. 
Secretly I felt I was at war in myself, undecided, reluctant to throw in my lot with them, yet I felt a stranger to the world that was shouting its welcome” (Reluctant Missionary, 46).

11. “We cannot be held responsible for the negligence of other ages, or blamed for not sending the gospel to tribes and kindreds of whose very existence we were ignorant.  But now now the case is very different.  Now we are responsible; now we shall deserve blame in the day of Christ if we feed not these hungry souls and rescue not these perishing nations” (Guinness, Mrs. H. Grattan, The New World of Central Africa, 7-8).

“To drop the idea of going to Africa and to stay and marry him the temptation glowed in my heart.  How easy to let go of all this going-to-Africa business which seemed so impossible of fulfillment and to say – yes!  How easy to stay and be caught up in this life of grace and ease, and with such an attractive person.”
