Double Service

“You are always working,” I exclaimed, as I entered the office of a business friend. “How many hours do you work each day?” “Twenty-four,” he replied with a smile. Then more seriously, “I became interested in missions and determined to go to China, but my father died and his business was in such a state that no outsider could carry it on. My mother, sisters, and younger brother were dependent upon the profits of the house, so I was obliged to remain here. I then took the support of a native preacher in China as my substitute. In that way I work twenty-four hours a day, for my representative there is working while I sleep.”
This man is like the angels in heaven, “serving day and night.”
