saved than to let millions of our fellow men go out
into the darkness with no hope for their souls,
whilst we can easily send them the light of the
Gospel?”?

_ Sue Dip wat Sur Coutp.—A woman who
was known to be very poor came to a missionary
meeting and offered to subscribe one cent a week to
the mission fund. ‘‘Surely,’”? said a friend, ‘‘you
are.too poor to afford this.’’? She replied, ‘‘I sew so
many balls of carpet rags a week for my living, and
T’ll sew one ball more, and that will be the cent a
week for the mission society.”

Echoes from Our Mission Fields.

Rey. Thalley, of Springfield, Il]., with the as-
sistance of a colored student has begun work in
St. Louis, Mo. He reports favorable progress. The
Mission is looking for suitable quarters and expects
to be located in the near future.

Missionary J. C. Schmidt is teaching a large
school at Greensboro, N. C., and recently baptized
eleven children as the fruit of his labors.

Missionary D. H: Schooff was directed to go to é

Baltimore, Md., and Yonkers, N. Y., to survey the
territory with a view to starting missions at those
places.

Never have the day schools in our stations at
New Orleans been in a more flourishing condition.
Room is sorely needed to place the pupils, and the
spirit, of Christian enthusiasm has been poured
upon the workers, all busy sowing the good seed of
the Word upon the hearts of the young. So heart-
cheering are the returns from the various posts that
a long-time member of the Board remarked on ad-
journment, “‘It has been a good while since we have
returned home £0 early and so encouraged.”

The Converted Indian. ‘

An Indian, named Shucca, who had been exceed-
ingly wicked, came under the influence of the Gos-
pel, and was converted. Henceforth he was com-

- pletely changed. Instead of setting up the savage

yell and drunken song, he lisped the name of his
Saviour, whom it was his pleasure to serve. God
and God’s Word were his greatest delight. On Sat-
urday morning he would rise earlier than on other
days to finish his work, that nothing might prevent
him from attending church on Sunday; nor was he
ever absent from services, except from real necessity.

That We May Look Upward.

During Dr. Payson’s last illness a friend, coming
into his room, remarked sympathetically, ‘‘Well,
Doctor, I am sorry to see you lying here on your
back.”’

“Do you know why God puts us on our backs,
at times?’? said Dr. Payson, smiling.

‘“No,’”? was the answer.

“In order that we may look upward.”
