Hudson TaylorStudent Review
I have seen that living in luxury is pointless and not only that but it can effect the way one lives for God. When you live with just the necessities, you show yourself that there is more to entertainment and comfort in life, that seeking material wealth all the time, Is a waste of time and the precious gift of life which God has bestowed upon us to live for His glory and not our own.

The prayer was answered by God, when Hudson accidentally picked up a Christian brochure and read of the saving love of Jesus and Christ and what Christ did on the Cross of calvary, along time ago for the sins of Hudson and all of humanity. Hudson then felt the call and desire to go to china to be a light for Christ. While Hudson saved and lived as poorly as possible in order to save as much as possible. Hudson worked in the medical field gaining knowledge that would someday be very useful in China. Upon work He became ill with a fatal fever, which through prayer and meditation and the good medical uses, was restored to full health after a time period.
