"We're going inland," Hudson said,
"where few white men have gone.
Our British clothes will look quite strange.
Let's dress like we belong."

And so they put on Chinese suits,
pajama-like and blue,
and then to fir in even better
added curled-up shoes.
 

Other missionaries laughed when blond-haired, blue-eyed Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) announced his plans to serve God among the people of China. He was so pale; the Chinese would think he was a ghost! But Hudson knew that God had called him to spread the gospel in that ancient land, and he believed that God would help him. This young man's faith led to the founding of the China Inland Mission and firmly established the gospel of Jesus in the hearts of Chinese people.
