A Tale of Two Brothers

There were two sons in the Taylor family in England. The older one set out to make a name for the family and turned his attention toward Parliament and prestige. But Hudson Taylor, the younger, chose to give his life to Christ; so he turned his face toward China and obscurity.

Hudson Taylor is known and honored on every continent as a faithful missionary and as the founder of the China Inland Mission. But when you look in the encyclopedia to see what the other son has done, you find these words, “The brother of Hudson Taylor.” 

Men may have their names inscribed on marble monuments for feats of fame; someday these monuments will fall in fragments.
