Text

And they used to try to get old Studd home from the Mission Field. He said, "God sent me out here. When God tells me to go home I'll go home. Well, he's gone home up that way instead. But he said this, "Look here, I will come home on one condition. I'll come home from Central Africa to England for two days if you will hire the Albert Hall and let me get the leaders of the church of Christ there, and I'd give them something for two days, and I'd go back to Africa again." Praise the Lord!
