    IS SHE ANY RELATED TO A.M. TROTTER MISSIONARY AND PREACHER WHO PREACHED IN S. AMERICA, IN THE 1940'S AND 50'S??

    • womenof7 says:

      I am not sure. It's possible. Lilias was a missionary in Algeria in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. She remained single. Is there more information on A. M. Trotter some where?

  • “How very narrow is the gate that leads to a life in God! (Mt 7:14) How little one must be to pass through it, it being nothing else but death to self! But when we have passed through it, what enlargement do we find! David said, ‘He brought me forth also in a large place’ (Ps. 18:19). And it was through humiliation and abasement that he was brought there.” – from Madame Guyon’s autobiography Ch. 22
