The Lutheran Pioneer.

Prayer Answered.

An African of Sierra Leone, by the name of
George Nikol, had come to London to prepare him-
self for mission service. One day, as he was taking
a walk, he came to Hempstead Hill, whence he
could look down upon the mighty city. Nearby
was a workman engaged in breaking stone. The
African turned to him with the request to tell him
the names of the greatest buildings.
his home city, the laborer gladly gave the desired
information. For this the African thanked him,
adding:

“J have to thank still more your brethren, the
missionaries, for showing me the heavenly city,
Jerusalem, where we shall live forever.”

Removing his face-protector and dropping his
hammer, the man rose before Nikol and said:

“Well, then, you are one of those for whom I
have prayed these twenty years. For I have never
laid a coin in the missionary box, but I at the
same time prayed, ‘God bless the black men!’ ”

None But Christ.

When William Carey, missionary in India, lay
dying, he was visited by Rev. Alexander Duff, who
talked with him of his past life and then knelt and
prayed by his bedside. Leaving the room, Mr. Duff
thought he heard himself recalled. He turned back,
and the dying man said to him in a whisper,
“Mr. Duff, you have been talking about Carey —
Dr. Carey. When I am gone, say nothing about
Dr. Carey. Speak about Dr. Carey’s Savior!” The
missionary died triumphant, fearless of the grave,
giving thanks to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Only One Master.

Only one in the Church has the right to speak,
to command, to rule: Jesus Christ; for it is writ-
ten: “One is your Master, even Christ; and all ye
