10. If it had not been for Christ sake… In joy or sorrow, health or pain, our course be onward still. We sow on Burmas barren hill, We reap on Zion hill. I have gained the victory at last. I love everyone of Christs redeemed…

And the future (of Myanmar) is as bright as the promises of God He added, "A voice mightier than mine, a still small voice, will ere long sweep away every vestige of thy dominion. The churches of Jesus Christ will soon supplant these idolatrous monuments and the chanting devotees of Buddha will die away before the Christian's hymns of praise."
