“Despite the squalor of the open cesspools, rats, flies, and disease in the crowded camp, life took on a very normal routine, though without the faithful and cheerful support of Eric Liddell, many people would never have been able to manage...None of us will ever forget this man who was totally committed to putting God first, a man whose humble life combined muscular Christianity with radiant goodness. What was his secret? He unreservedly committed his life to Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord. That friendship meant everything to him. By the flickering light of peanut-oil lamp early each morning he and a roommate in the men’s cramped dormitory studied the Bible and talked with God for an hour every day.”-Fellow prisoner David Mitchell
