“It is odd that a million Baptists of the South can furnish only three men for all of China.  Odd that with five hundred preachers in the state of Virginia, we must rely on a Presbyterian to fill a Baptist pulpit [here].  I wonder how these things look in heaven.  They certainly look very queer in China.”

Southern Baptist Missionary and hero Charlotte Diggs Moon, appealing for more recruits (especially men) to the mission field.
