Excerpt from The Apostle of Burma: A Missionary Epic, in Commemoration of the Centennial of the Birth of Adoniram Judson Dear friend, to thee, thy noble father's son, May I, with fitness unimpeachable, These humble lays inscribe, which seek to tell What he in Gautama's great realm had done, What sought to do, what suffered, and what won Of guerdons, such as dauntless Paul befell, Seeking in lesser Asia to dispel Like heathen glooms thy great sire gazed upon. Apostles of the Gentiles both, their names At the far ends of nineteen centuries ring, And thine with Timothy's I'am fain to match, Since thou hadst grace (as he from Paul) to catch His zeal and spirit, of whose worth I bring These echoes of the Christian world's acclaims.
