The face of the veteran missionary, John G. Paton, was itself
an inspiration to the beholder and a revelation to the triumphs
of the grace of God in the man. Once when Principal Story was
introducing him to an audience, he casually remarked that
much of Doctor Paton’s life had been spent among savages and
cannibals, and many a time he had been in danger of being killed
and eaten, but had escaped unscathed. “But,” added Principal
Story, “I do not wonder, for had I been one of those cannibals,
one look at that benignant face would have been enough to make
me a vegetarian for the rest of my days.” (Text.)
