Montague Harry Proctor Beauchamp, Stanley P. Smith, Arthur and Cecil Pole Hill Turner, Dixon, Edward

Host, William Morton Castles. Well that's six names. Here's the seventh. Charles Thomas Studd, aka C.T. Studd. These seven have been called the Cambridge seven.

They've also been called the dream team of missions.

They were all aristocrats, British aristocrats.

They were educated in Britain's finest boarding schools. They all hailed from some of the

finest families of England. And they all went to Cambridge University and the various colleges as an undergrad.

In February of 1885, the Cambridge 7 boarded a boat headed to China.

They had all been accepted as missionaries in the China

inland mission, the mission that was founded by Hudson Taylor.

CT Studd was the most famous of the Cambridge 7. His father inherited money but also made a fortune

manufacturing indigo. He was sent off to Eaton and also then to Cambridge. They had Manor Homes and they had a London house in the

exclusive Hyde Park Gardens neighborhood. There were 11 children in the Stud family and three of the brothers excelled at cricket.

CT was the best of the three. I could tell you his bowling average, his wickets, his run scored, but honestly I have no idea how

cricket works.

After Eton, CT Stud went to Cambridge and he played for England's national team.

But he was converted and he heard the gospel

his father had been converted by hearing Dwight L. Moody

preach at a crusade in London.

And a few years later, CT Stud was converted.

He wanted to give his life to missions, and so there is a student at Cambridge, he was devoted to foreign missions

and went with his colleagues to China.

He's known for two very memorable sayings.
