8 The Lutheran Pioneer.

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. :
