Yesterday morning missionary man
came to our Sundsy-school, and told US ali
about the little hesthen. They don't have
to be dressed up, nor learn the catechism,

thing disagreeable. And they don't know

heathen. They'd rather have bright but
ton than gold dollar, and of course they
wouldn't care ab " five cents. And there's
no candy in heathenlsnd, so what do they
want Of money, anyhow"
Then said: ''If l only had my buttou-
string. we could each give button, and
spend the five centses for candy, and so we'd
be pleased all round" Johnny said that
