Mary Slessor on Missionary Recruitment

If missions are a failure, it is our failure and not God’s. If we only prayed and had more faith what a difference it would make! In Calabar we are going back every day. For years we have been going back. The China Inland Mission keep [sic] on asking for men, men, men, and they get what they want and more than we get. We keep calling for money, money, money, and we get money—of great value in its place—but not the men and the women. Where are they? When Sir Herbert Kitchener, going to to conquer the Soudan required help, thousands of the brightest of our young men were ready. Where are the soldiers of the Cross? In a recent war in Africa in a region with the same climate and the same malarial swamp as Calabar there were hundreds of offices and men offering their services, and a Royal Prince went out. But the banner of the Cross goes a-begging. Why should the queen have good soldiers and not the King of Kings?
