to the headwaters of the Paraguay River across
an unexplored field of many thousand miles. They
expect to emerge by the River Amazon, descend to
its mouth, and come around by boat to Rio de
Janeiro. In the territory to be visited there are,
it is said, dozens of Indian tribes which have never
been reached by white men. It is one of the great
unreached and unexplored regions of the world.

Fruit from a Small Seed.

The child who, half a century ago, dropped into
the missionary-box a cent which the Lord blessed
so that it became the means of converting a Bur-
man chief sowed a seed that was “less than all the
seeds.” But it became a tree. A little tract, which
cost just one single cent, fell into the hands of that
young man, and he was so anxious to know its
contents that he traveled from Burdwan, 250 miles,
to Rangoon, for the purpose of learning to read it.
The Christian teachers soon taught him, and from
the reading of that tract he arose with a new heart
in his bosom and went home with a basket full of
similar tracts to distribute among his people. He
was a man of influence, and crowds came to hear
him talk and explain the Gospel as he had heard it.
In one year 1,500 natives were baptized in Arran-
can as the result of his labor.

The author says of this tract that it was “written in
the interest of our work among the deaf, chiefly for grea
uates of Gallaudet College for the Deaf, Washington, D. C.,
which is on my circuit as a preaching-station.” It seems

_that Modernism has been finding its victims also among’

the deaf. This tract is bound to convince many a Beers
deaf or hearing, of the truth and power of the Gospe:
it will only be read. Supply very limited; ordet st ence

Wildgrube: Through Miss Ada Nommensen, from the
third and fourth grades of Grace Lutheran School, Mil-
waukee, one box of clothes and one box of toys for the
Sunday-school children at Pailets Land. — By Pastor

Pastor G. A. Schmidt writes: “Each Christmas some
unknown friend leaves a $50.00 bill at Rey. Polack’s home,
Evansville, Ind., with the instruction: ‘Please send the
enclosed mite to Rev. Schmidt to use for Colored Missions
in the name of the Christ-child’ . Surely the Lord, who
knows the name of this kind friend of our Colored Mis-
sions, will bless the giver abundantly. Will you give this
publicity in the columns of the ProNEER and at the same
time thank all others who so kindly by word and deed
remembered us here in the Black Belt? It is a physical
impossibility to write each one individually.”

Pastor J. Alston sends this acknowledgment: “Fifty
children of St. Mark’s Sunday- and day-school, Atlanta,
Ga., were made happy on Christmas by Zion Young Peo-
ple’s Society, Wausau, Wis. These young people sent fifty
packages, wrapped neatly in tissue paper, tied with red
cord, and bearing the name of the child on'a Christmas
card. God bless the donors of these parcels!”
