“The Cambridge Seven,” a group of brilliant, intellectual students of the University of Cambridge, who heard, distinct and clear, the call to China. They burned bridges behind them and left ALL to follow their Divine Master.Their crisis and choice caused a stir and revival throughout the universities in England and in Scotland. They exchanged a life of ease, fame, wealth, and popularity for persecution, privations and poverty.What a difference between a mansion and a mud-hut!Any one of them could have made his mark in the world and had his name inscribed among the elite and famous of earth.But these men caught the vision of the eternal world and counted this passing world as dross!They went to China, travelling second class to bring to the Chinese the fullness of the gospel of Christ.One of the seven is well-known.His name is C.T.Studd.
“Only one life ’twill soon be past
Only what’s done for Chris will last.”
“Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell,
I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell”
