"O Calvary, Calvary, when I view the blood of Jesus streaming down thy sides, I am amazed at my coldness of affection towards the Lord, of my slothful performance of the duties which the authority of God, which the love of Jesus more strongly imposes upon me. Yes, O Father, Thy love in Jesus, and O my Savior, Thy love in giving Thyself for me and Thine, O Holy Spirit, in applying the salvation of Jesus to my guilty conscience, unitedly overcome me, and constrain me to live not to myself but to Thee." - Robert Morrison, first Protestant missionary to China, explaining why he wanted to commit himself to work in China
