John Pearson just sent me the following about Hudson Taylor. It will make for good meditating! Hudson Taylor’s life at 19 at Charlotte street in the employ of Dr. Hardey was too comfortable, too easy going and failed in those accounts to provide the elements of missionary training that he needed. In another part of town was a bare and unfurnished prophet’s chamber that provided neither companionship nor luxury. Here he could live a stronger sterner lifestyle on the backside of the desert that seemed to do wonders for Joseph, Moses and Paul and provided much power with God. That was the life Hudson Taylor needed and to which he was being led. He did not choose it for himself, at any rate not at first or consciously. The Lord chose it for him and so ordered circumstances that he was brought to see and to embrace it, finding in self denial and the daily cross a fellowship with his Master nothing else can yield.
