George Nicholson writes in his Faith at Work about Gladys Aylward, a British woman missionary who went to China. Although she was not supported by a church, she did have seventy cents with which to buy an unwanted child. As an elderly woman, she moved to Formosa, too old to raise children. One day in a bus station she observed a parcel package that moved a little. After two hours the custodian claimed it for himself. Unwrapping it he found a baby, dirty, weak, and malnourished. He gave it to her and she said, "No, Lord ... not again! I'm too old. I've brought up eighty. What am I to do with it?" The Lord replied, "Wash it." "And after I wash it?" "Feed it," came another reply. After feeding it, she asked again, "And now what am I to do?" "Keep it ... best place, don't you think?" So Gladys continued to collect children; up to one hundred and four, all under five years of age, most from unknown parents. She was the Christian answer to Communism.
