Missionary Statesman
The travels and ministries of Smith multiplied. During his life he made 21 world tours promoting evangelism and world missions. One of the results of his visit to the Baltic countries was the establishment of a Bible School in Riga Latvia for the express purpose of training national missionaries. Their success in evangelizing their own people proved the value of using nationals to Smith.

Famous quotes containing the words missionary and/or statesman:
“Why have such scores of lovely, gifted girls
Married impossible men?
Simple self-sacrifice may be ruled out,
And missionary endeavour, nine times out of ten.”

“A statesman is an easy man,
He tells his lies by rote;
A journalist makes up his lies
And takes you by the throat;
So stay at home and drink your beer
And let the neighbours vote.”
