Fallinpraises bill for tax cutOklahoma Gov. MaryFallin has praised theOklahoma House of

Representatives forpassing HB 2032, a billthat lowers the top in-come tax rate from5.25percent to 5.0 percent.Fallin made the pro-posal in her 2013 Stateof the State address andincluded it in her execu-tive budget."My thanks go outto the Oklahoma House

of Representatives fortheir support of HB2032 an importanttax cutting measure,"said Fallin."Reasonably and re-sponsibly reducing thetop rate will boost oureconomy and leave uswith the revenue weneed to support priori-ties like education andpublic safety."Lower taxes meanstronger economc

growth and more jobcreation. It's impor-tant for businesses tosee that, even as otherstates and the federalgovernment pursuetax hikes, Oklahomaremains commtted tolower taxes and smallergovernment."HB 2032 is authoredby Speaker T.W. Shannonin the House and Presi-dent Pro Tempore BrianBingman in the Senate.

I suppose al of us have heroes those whohave suffered bravey or who stood tall in themdst of criticismand personal loss.George Washington Carver, WilliamWil-berforce, Corrie Ten Boomand Joni EarecksonTada are just a few that have inspired and en-couraged me at times and convicted me of myfeeble efforts as well.But in the fied of mssions there is one indi-vidual who, for me, stands out among many whohave labored fearlessly and with deep devotion forthe sake of Christ.Hudson Taylor was a mssionary innovatorand founder of the China Inland Mission in themd-19th century. Much to the dismay of hisfellow mssionaries, he chose to dress in Chi-nese clothing that included wearing his hair ina long pigtail.He fet it would give himacceptance amongthose he was trying to reach. His methods oftenbrought criticismfromhis friends and felowworkers. His faith in God to provide for his needsis legendary.Unsefish to a fault, on one occasion he foundhimsef broke just two weeks before his wedding.He had given everything away to 60 or 70 victimsof the famne.He gave his fiance permssion to withdrawfromthe commtment if she wished. Her parentshad died when she was a child, so she replied,"Don't forget that I was an orphan in a farawayland. God has been my Father all these years. Doyou think I shall be afraid to trust Himnow?"Ther reationship was full of love and affection.Their mnistry, although successful in manyways, was not without its problems. In 1867 theirfifth child died of hydrocephaus. A few weeks lat-er, he wrote his mother in England, "I know nothow to write. Our dear little Gracie! How we mssher! As I take the walks I used to take with hertripping by my side, the thought comes anew likea throb of agony, is it possible that I shall nevermore feel the pressure of that little hand. And yetshe is far holier, far happier than she could everhave been here."But the tragic death seemed to unify the ms-sion effort as those who had been critics ralliedaround the young couple.Later, after moving inland to the city of Yank-chow, they faced mobs and riots that caused themto flee for ther lives on one occasion. Often Hudsonwould become depressed to the point of consideringsuicide, but his wife was his source of strength.Then the ultimate loss, his dear wife, Marie,who had borne eight children in 12 years, died oftuberculosis.Later, he married a dear friend who loved andcared for the children and enabled himto be ab-sent for months at a time, visiting and encourag-ing the outlying mssion posts.Hudson died at the age of 73, having foundedthe China Inland Mission, which utilized the ser-vices of 825 mssionaries.On one occasion he sad, "God chose me be-cause I was weak enough. God does not do hisgreat work by large commttees. He trains some-body to be quiet enough, little enough and thenGod uses him"Do yoursef a favor by going to a public orchurch library and read the story of this greatman of faith.
