Applied Truth.
Christ can make very little seed of the
Gospel in darkest Africa spring into har-
vests Of souls for the kingdom. One mis-
sionary tells Of some of the ways in which
this seed is sown and spreads.
"a boy has got the length Of being
able to read the Gospel in his own tongue.
and he goes to prepare his lesson after
school is over. He sits down perhaps under
tree At one side of him Is his father.
and with him a number of other men Of
the village, busily employed mending net.
Over here sits his mother and several wo-
men of the village, pounding their corn or
sitting their -four for the evening meal.
The boy begins to read. The father listens
and the mother listens. They are inter-
ested In their boy. He is the only one in
the village who can make book speak.
Very soon they get to the end of the boy s
knowledge, but, fortunately, not to the end
of their own curiosity, and that sends
them to the missionary to get answers to
the questions which the boy could not an

few years before, these people had sought
our Hives when first we took the Gospel to
them. These are the changes that God has
wrought, and hence we push forward this
educational work that we may find and
