Arrica. — There are said to be thirty-one mis-
sionary societies at work in Africa: fourteen Ameri-
can, eight British, seven German, one French, and
one Swiss.

INpraAN Misston. — Says the Lutheran Herald:
“There are now 31,000 Indians who are communi-
cants of some Christian church. There are 300
church buildings among the Indians. The mis-
sions have not only Christianized many Indians,
but also civilized them. Sixty-five thousand In-
dians now speak the English language, 112,000 have
adopted civilized dress. One missionary who has
worked among the Indians for forty years says that
never before has he found such a demand for the
Gospel among the Indians as now, especially in In-
dian Territory. Frequently unconverted Indians
request the preacher to continue the meetings and
bring them more glad Gospel tidings.”

A GRATEFUL INDIAN. — Indians are so ungrate-
ful, people say. Are they? An old Indian who
was blind pleaded eagerly that his eyes might be
operated on, though his heart was too weak to take
ether, and even if he should only be able to see for
“half an hour.” He pleaded so earnestly, though
the case was hopeless, that he was questioned, and
it was found that he wanted his sight for the one
half hour so that he could sit and gaze into the
faces of the missionaries who had worked for him
and taught him Christ’s love.

Evidence of God’s Love.

A certain gentleman, in the time of Luther,
whilst building for himself an elegant house,
chanced to fall from the scaffolding. However, he
suffered no harm by the accident.

When he next met Luther, he told him what
had happened and how God had shielded him. He
boasted that it was evident from this that the Lord
loved him greatly. But Luther replied: “My dear
friend, you have other and greater evidence than
this that God loves you. Hold before your eyes
the sufferings of Jesus, and reasons enough will be
given you not to doubt the love of God.”
