C.T. Studd

      English missionary. C.T. Studd was the son of a wealthy man, Edward Studd, who was converted to Christ under the ministry of Dwight L. Moody in 1877. Young C.T. Studd became an excellent cricket player, and at the age of 19 was captain of the team at Eton. He attended Cambridge University from 1880 to 1883, and, while he was there, he also heard Dwight L. Moody preach and was converted to Christ.

      Shortly afterwards, he and six other students dedicated their lives and their wealth to the Lord Jesus Christ and offered themselves to Hudson Taylor for work in China. They sailed to China in 1885. In 1888 Studd married. He continued to work for several years before bad health forced him and his wife to return to England, where they turned over all their property to the China Inland Mission.

      Studd and his wife began to tour the world in order to raise funds for missions. While in southern India, on one of those tours, he found a suitable climate for him and his wife. He served there six years, after which time he returned to England to make plans to go to Africa.

      In December of 1912 he left his family and was gone for two years in evangelistic work on the Dark Continent. He returned home for a short time, and then once again went back to Africa for five more years. Mrs. Studd did not join him until 1928, one year before she died.

      Studd died in Malaga, Africa, in 1931.

Christian's Delight

Now Christ's command is simple, And meant to be obeyed, "Go ye and preach My Gospel In every land," He said. Christ hadn't any favourites; He lived and died for all!

Chutney

I want to be like Jesus, Who left His throne on high For hell-deserving sinners To live, and work, and die. Forsaking all His glory, His power He laid aside, His entrée—lo! a manger! His exit—crucified! We human fools rejected, And left to stand alone, The only real Victor This world has ever known.... Read More

God's D. D.

Old Daniel was a Dreadnought! If he was here to-day, He'd make it hot for the pious lot Who don't do as they say. He didn't speak behind folks' backs, But met them face to face; He called spades spades, and dubbed knaves knaves, And always proved his case. He neither cared for place nor power, Nor f... Read More

The Personal Testimony of C.T. Studd

I was brought up in the Church of England and was pretty religious — so most people thought. I was taken to church and baptized the right day, and after a time I was confirmed and took communion. But I did not know anything about Jesus Christ personally. I knew a little about Him, as I may know a li... Read More
