“as I had only once to die, I was content to leave the time and place and means in the hand of God”
John G. Paton, The Story of John G. Paton Or Thirty Years Among South Sea Cannibals

“Beautiful was it to mark how the poorest began to improve in personal appearance immediately after they came to our Class; how they gradually got shoes and one bit of clothing after another, to enable them to attend our other Meetings, and then to go to Church; and, above all, how eagerly they sought to bring others with them, taking a deep personal interest in all the work of the Mission. Long after they themselves could appear in excellent dress, many of them still continued to attend in their working clothes, and to bring other and poorer girls with them to that Morning Class, and thereby helped to improve and elevate their companions. My delight in that Bible Class was among the purest joys in all my life, and the results were amongst the most certain and precious of all my Ministry.”
John Gibson Paton, The Story of John G. Paton Or Thirty Years Among South Sea Cannibals

“Life, any life, would be well spent, under any conceivable conditions in bringing one human soul to know and love and serve God and His Son, and thereby securing for yourself at least one temple where your name and memory would be held for ever and for ever in affectionate praise – a regenerate heart in heaven. That fame will prove immortal, when all the poems and pyramids of earth have gone to dust.”
John G. Paton, John G. Paton: Missionary to the New Hebrides. Vol. 3
