Emphasis Preaching Journal

One of my professors at Pittsburgh Seminary was Dr. Addison Leitch. After his wife's death, Dr. Leitch married Elisabeth Elliot, the missionary in Ecuador whose husband had been killed by the Auca Indians. After her husband Jim's death, Elisabeth walked back into the very jungle where the tragedy occurred and lived with the men who had murdered her husband. When asked why she lived in such a strange place after such a sorrow in her life, she explained that in her youth she had come upon a prayer by Betty Scott Stamm. She copied it in her Bible and prayed it often.
