Well Then
Horace Pitkin, the son of a wealthy merchant, was converted and went to China as a missionary. He wrote to his friends in America, saying, "It will be but a short time till we know definitely know whether we can serve Him better above or here." Shortly afterward, a mob stormed the gate at the compound were Pitkin defended the women and children. He was beheaded and his head was offered at the shrine of a heathen god, while his body was thrown into a pit with the bodies of nine Chinese Christians. Sherwood Eddy, writing about him, said, "Pitkin won more men by his death than he ever could have won by his life."
Out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you the mighty
inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit. - Ephesians 3:16 (TLB)
