Came across this in the 9th Volume of the Columbus Theological Magazine, (1889) at the end of a survey of missions, and thought this description of a certain Judge Tucker might be an encouragement to all of us to remember our brothers and sisters from other times.
— Miss Tucker (A. L. O. E.) went to India as a missionary, leaving the field of authorship for the comparatively obscure field of mission work. Judge Tucker, of Futtepoor, was her brother. He served long in India, giving to Missions $200 per month. To those who remonstrated as to his liberality, he replied: “Here are 86,000,000 adult population; ae 5,000 die daily; every day’s delay means 5,000 souls!” After the duties of his office were fulfilled, he preached Jesus. “If every hair were a life,” said he, “I would give them all to a Him.” He fell, in 1857, at the hands of the mutineers. On his sitting-room walls were inscribed: “Fear God,” “Love your enemies,” “ Prepare for death.”
