Suffering for Christ's Name's Sake
Acts 9:16
For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.


When Dr. Mason, a missionary in India, asked his converted boatman whether he was willing to go to the Bghais, a neighbouring tribe, to tell them of a Saviour's love, he reminded him that, instead of twelve rupees a month, he would receive but four rupees. "Can you go to the Bghais for four rupees?" asked the missionary. The heathen convert went by himself and thought and prayed, and came hack to Dr. Mason. "Well, Chapon, what is your decision?" "My father, I cannot go to the Bghais for four rupees a month, but I can go for Jesus." And for Jesus he went.
