“Amongst many who sought to deter me, was one dear old Christian gentleman, whose crowning arguments always was, ‘The Cannibals! you will be eaten by cannibals!’ At last I replied, ‘Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, & your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you, that if I can but live & die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by cannibals or by worms.’” – John G. Paton
