t is to
them that Jesus is looking to bring about the time when the whole earth
will be filled with His light and love and peace.

Every one, of course, cannot work in the Mission field, and you do not
require to go there to be a missionary. Wherever you may be, whatever
you may do, you can always be a missionary and fight as valiantly as
Miss Slessor did against sin and wrong-doing. You may not find your task
easy. Our heroine did not find hers easy. You may meet as many
difficulties as Christian did on his pilgrim way, and your dreams may be
laughed at and scorned, but if you trust Jesus and persevere, you will
come out all right in the end.

Dream your dreams then, boys and girls, brave ones, lovely ones, but as
you grow up be sure and do your best to turn them into realities, for it
is only those that come true that are making life better and sweeter and
shaping the world into beauty.
