Excerpt from The Maid of Athens, 1924If this writer were to go into historical details and recount the financial sacrifices made by many of these servants of God, the reader would be amazed at their heroism and be convinced that not on mission fields alone, nor in the hardships of a pioneer ministry, do we find that complete surrender to Christ which so many of us admire but which so few of us are willing to emulate. More than two or three have assumed the Presidency of Athens College, not from hope of financial reward, but because they believed this to be a chosen field in which to serve the Master. One President reported at the end of the year that while the teachers had been paid in full he had not paid himself a single dollar. Another, who took some funds with him when he assumed the Presidency, did not quit until not only his time and energy had been given but his last dollar had been exhausted. I know no greater record of self immolation and heroic service than is found in the historical documents of Athens College.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
