Enlarge the Place of Your Tent

1860–66

The enforced return to England could not deter Hudson Taylor’s determination and heart for China. Even during convalescence, all his time and attention were devoted to furthering the mission. The years of absence only served to strengthen his resolve, and enabled him to form the China Inland Mission: this would profoundly strengthen the work in China.

‘Much of the world’s work is done by pent-up forces. The steam which drives the engine does so because it is conserved and fettered. Its limitations are the secret of its power. And this is sometimes true in human life. What are the yearnings of the heart but the pent-up forces of love? And nothing can so intensify these as to hedge in their activities.’68

Returning to London

After coming back, Hudson Taylor was told by his doctor he would probably not be able to return to China. As we know, he had never been strong, but after strenuous years in the mission field, working hard in the heat of summer and the cold of severe winter, he was not in good health at all.

He and Maria settled in east London, where he started to complete his medical studies and, together with his Chinese helper and Revd F.F. Gough from the Missionary Society, commenced the translation of the New Testament into the Ningpo dialect. He always returned to his vision for the evangelization of the Chinese inland provinces. He could not forget the millions there. His perseverance was remarkable. He never gave up; never wasted a moment. With a map of China on the wall of his small room he waited and prayed, and felt as close to the people he loved as if they were right there with him.
