“This abundant blessing, then, which God has caused to rest upon our labours among the Orphans, year after year, has greatly encouraged me, among other reasons, to seek yet more to enlarge this work. The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing in comparison with eternity, for reaping. The consideration of these truths, while they have practical influence upon my life, in general, so they also lead me in particular to labour for Orphans, poor destitute Orphans, who have no helper and friend.”
George Mueller in The Bristol Orphan Houses, Ashley Down by William Elfe Tayler, 139.
