Some of
the smaller children had brought their little Bibles to give them to
----, that he might carry them to the poor children of the heathen. But
when informed that the heathen could not understand English, they
determined to raise money, and send it out to purchase Bibles for the
children. This interesting meeting was closed by prayer, the doxology,
and benediction."
But not only can you pray for the heathen, you can give _something_ to
send the Gospel to them. Do you say that you have no money to give? But
cannot you earn some? Many young persons have done so. One of whom I
have read, says, "Besides supporting a school in Ceylon, we are going to
support five Chinese boys. I earn six cents a week for not using tea,
one for not using sugar, and three for not using coffee."
Another says, "I, with three others, have been making matches to the
amount of ten dollars, and should have made more, but the people are
pretty well supplied. I am going to dig my father's garden, and my
mother is going to give me a quarter of a dollar for digging it, which I
shall give to the missionaries. I am going to do all I can, and to earn
all I can, and save all that I have, to support the missionaries.
