e one family, united in one Lord and Master and in His service.
As they lived next door to the chapel they had special opportunities
for service, and the way in which they took up the responsibility of
the place, and of the people there, often awakened surprise. At times
it seemed as though they were taking too great a share in the burden.
But they did it so joyfully that it was not easy to restrain them.

When any newcomer attended the meeting, who did not know the rule that
each person must bring his own dinner with him, Mr. and Mrs. Lue would
invite him to their house, "just to make him feel at home the first
time"; and they did it in such a way that the visitor did not feel that
he was receiving any grace from their hands. If, after some of the
Christians had gathered together on a Sunday, it began to snow or rain,
Mr. and Mrs. Lue would persuade them to stay with them for dinner--"Just

say quietly. When remonstrated with about doing too much, they
answered cheerfully, "Oh, we like to do it. We put two or three loads
of rice aside for that purpose every year. We give that to the Lord
who has blessed us so greatly." What more could be said? They were
doing it joyfully for the Master, and He who "is not unrighteous to
forget the labour of love" done for Him and for His sake, will surely
reward them "according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." And He
did reward them even here.

When they had been coming to the services for about a year, they were
asked if they had any want, or if they had lost that year, seeing they
had given all their Sundays and many evenings, whereas they had worked
hard all the time in former years. They replied that they had lost
nothing, but had a greater surplus at the end of the year than
formerly. And the following year that surplus increased, and they
declared laughingly, "Why, we are richer than ever." Is not this a
practical testimony to the way in which God keeps His promise--"Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you"?

They also taught some of us practical lessons, which will not soon be
forgotten. One year they had some building and repairs done, and had a
number of workmen working for them by the day. When Saturday came, the
question was what was to be done with all these men for the Sunday.
The men said they must go on working, or le
