When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the caption of the ship sought to turn him back. "You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages," he cried. Calvert only replied, "We died before we came here."

tellmeinwords: Thanks for stopping by. I don't know the whole story either, but it is a wonderful quote from men of great courage for Jesus.
Grace and peace to you.
