Some time ago a poor little hoy cime
to ci Y missionary and holding up a
dirty AMI worn ont bit OF printed
paner. sa j !: Please, sir. father sent
me to get a clean paper like that. "
Taking it from his hand, the mission
airy unroliel it, AMI found it was a
page containing that beautiful hymn of
which the first stanza is as follows:
Jl>t - 7 tln-Si aout ore pet
But thar shY boo was shell ter me,
And that th ~ hil'St com TO thee,
q Ltub Il CO. | cone
The missionary looked down with
interest into the face earnestly upturn-
ed t. him and asked the little boy
where he got it and why he wanted a
clean one We found it, sir. said
he. lin sisters pocket after she died.
Aud she .use,l to sing it all the time
Whilo she was sick, aud loved it 81
much that frther wanted to get a clean
one and pat it in frame to hang i,
J. up Wont you give Us a clean one,
slr?' This little page with single
hymn on it had been cast upon the
air Tx a falling leaf by Christian
| hands. bumbly hoping to do some pos,
sibir gond In some little mission
Sabbath school probably this poor cir
! ha ,houghtlessly received it, to ind
in it. We may hope. the gospel of hel
salvation. -CAristioA Il. ulster.
