Greatly Blest by Dr. Sung's Memory

       At the close of the war, in the autumn of 1945, I was in Peiping, and I went out to the Western Hills and saw Mrs. Sung.  She took me to Dr. Sung's grave.  As I stood there by the stone cross, I was greatly blest by the memory of his wonderful life.  At that time Mrs. Sung gave me one of two personal copies of his Chinese chorus book.  I used it in many evangelistic and revival meetings in mainland China and in Taiwan, as we broadcast the Gospel back into communist China and around the world.

       This chorus book is the one used in the Nanking meetings, from which we give quotations (translate) in the notes of those meetings (see Appendix.) Dr.. Sung's personal copy lies before me as I write just now. It has his name in his Own writing in Chinese on the cover.  It is one more thing to challenge and inspire me to be more faithful in my soul winning and intercessory ministry.  However, I despair of even approximating Dr. Sung’s zeal in Bible study and prayer. But we hope that God will raise up others who will be inspired by his life to a similar ministry

       So, as we remember John Sung, we pray that God will produce another, perhaps even greater, evangelist in this century.  God often calls His leaders from the ranks of Jesus' persecutors.  When this man, or men, come on the scene, then China and the Far East will be aflame for God with the preaching of the irresistible Gospel.
