A sixth writes, "I remember, before my mother died, she used to tell me
a great deal about the children of India, and now she is in heaven. I
think she would like to have me give my heart to the Saviour, and go and
teach those poor children. I give you some money that was given to me to
see an exhibition, which I saved to give for such things, rather than
go."
A seventh writes, "You told us that two cents were the means of
converting a young man. I would give two cents every week, if it would
convert souls to Christ."
An eighth writes, "My mother told me, some time ago, that every day I
recited my lessons without missing a word, she would give me a penny;
and not being desirous to spend it, I do wish you would take it--fifty
cents--to the heathen. It may buy some tracts at the bazaar or market."
A ninth writes, "We feel sorry for those poor heathen children. We will
try to earn some money to buy Bibles for the heathen. Father has
promised us some land to work next summer, and we think we can raise
something and sell it to get the money."
A tenth writes, "Since you were here last spring, I have saved what I
could--one dollar--for the heathen children, and should be glad if I
could do more.
