A Lesson From a Girl in Africa.

A number of years ago a heathen father left his
little girl babe and ran away to another country.
This father lived in Africa. The people down
there, like many other heathen, do not care so much
for little girls as they do for little boys. And this
man did not care what became of his little babe,
since it was a girl. The little babe did not die. It
grew up without anyone taking very much care
of it. When the child was older she ran about here
and there, for no one seemed to own her. One day
she came to the schoolhouse where the missionaries
were teaching heathen children. She peeped in,
but ran away when she saw someone approach her.
But she came back again, just as the children began
to sing. ‘The teacher happened to be out, and
slipped up behind the child, and placed his arm
about her neck. He spoke to her kindly, and in-
duced her to go into the school. She soon learned
to read, and was taught the truth of God’s Word.

One day when the girl was almost grown, being
about sixteen years old, her father came to the
school. He lived about 130 miles away, but had
heard what had become of his daughter. He said
he had come to get her. The missionaries asked
what he wanted with her. He said that he wanted
her to go and teach him and the people where he
lived to read. The missionary asked what had put
such an idea in his head. He said a missionary had
been there and told them of God’s Word, and they
would like to learn to read it. The daughter did
not want to leave and go with her father. But the
missionary told her that it was her duty to go, and
do her parents and others all the good in her power.
The child wept very much, but agreed to go. Some-
time afterwards the father returned to the mission
post and said that his daughter had taught many
persons to read, and he now came for a supply of
good books. Was not that a noble work done by
this poor African girl? — Jnttle Missionary.

I wave had many things in my hands, and I
lost them all; but whatever I have been able to
place in God’s hands I still possess. — Lather.

BOOK TABLE.

Lutner’s Morars. By Itev. J. H. Hartenberger. Re-
printed from Theological Quarterly. Concordia Pub-
lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 10 cts.

An able refutation of the calumnies and slanders of
Roman Catholic writers who have time and again tried
to heap scandal on the name of the great Reformer, whom
they hate for having, with God’s Word, revealed the mys-
tery of iniquity in the Romish Church and that wicked,
that man of sin and son of perdition, the Roman Antichrist,
2 Thess. 2. The pamphlet will do those good service that
have occasion to silence malicious slanderers who delight
in defaming the pious and illustrious servant of God—
Dr. Martin Luther.
