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

named after one; I hope I shall be one. I have been saving a dollar to
buy myself some books, but concluded to give it to buy some books for

The last two children, whose letters you have been reading, gave to the
missionary cause the money which they had been earning to buy books.
When you have been earning money for the express purpose of giving it to
