Mr. Cunningham, a missionary of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, who was serving in South China, told of a native who once came to him and said, "Why don't you preach something else? You have been preaching this Jesus for three days."
"What do you eat for breakfast?" the missionary asked.
"Rice," was the reply.
"For dinner?"
"Rice."
"For supper?"
"Why, rice."
"What did you eat yesterday?"
"Rice."
"What have you been eating for years?" the missionary inquired.
"Rice," replied the astonished man.
"Why do you eat rice every day? Why don't you eat something else?"
"Because it keeps me alive."
"That is just the reason that we preach Jesus, because He is life to us, and we could not live without Him," explained the missionary.
