They pervert the Gospel of Christ and preach an- other gospel than that which the apostles preached. In such St. Paul saw nothing glorious. He said: “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed !” Gal. 1, 8. A Manuscript Bible for a Pillow. Just as Dr. Judson had finished translating the New Testament into Burmese he was cast into prison. His wife took the precious manuscript and buried it in the ground. But if left there it would soon decay, while to reveal its existence to its foes would surely lead to its destruction. So it was arranged that, she should put it within a roll of cotton and bring it to him in the form of a pillow, . so hard that even the keeper of the prison did not covet it. After seven months this pillow (so unin- ~viting externally, so precious to him) was taken ~away, and then his wife redeemed .it by giving a ~ better one in exchange. Some time after he was . hurried off to another prison, leaving everything behind him, and his old pillow was thrown into the =. = prison yard to be trodden under foot as worthless =cotton; but after a few hours one of the native - Christians discovered the roll and took it home as a relic of the prisoner; and there, long: afterward, the manuscript was found within the cotton, com- plete and uninjured. Surely, we may say the hand of the Lord was a interposed to save from destruction the fruit of " years of toil, so important for those who were to read the Burmese Bible. God’s Goodness. In the spring there first appear the blossoms; and then, shortly after, the strawberries and cher- ries; and then, ere long, plums, apples, and berries of vinous juice and virtue. To these we are to add the infinite variety of herbs and odors. And then, at the time of harvest, our barns are filled. with wheat, rye, barley, and corn, and grain of every kind. In the autumn, our presses overflow with wine of an infinite variety of taste and fragrance, and our vats are filled to the brim. Thus the Lord fills the whole revolution of the year, and every part of it, with His overflowing and infinite good- ness. — Luther. : BOOK TABLE.
