the desk, l looked down, and there sat
my Jim on the front seat. He looked up
with smile and said, 81 fetched EN-"
Il see you did," and gave him his
Bible. After my address, we organized
the Sunday-school.
We went to a house nearby for din
ner. When we were seated, the lady
began to laugh. 1 asked her what was
the matter. She said she was thinking
about jim. 1 asked What about him."
well, he rode into our front yard,
never looked to. see if any one was
around, and began to yell with all his
might, Going to a meeting down to
the schoolhouse next Sunday morning
at ten o'clock. Funniest fellow you ever
see in your life will be thur II you
don't come, you will miss the biggest
thing that ever come to this part of the
countr y!'"
In the fall, went back and held some
meetings. There were about a dozen
hopeful conversions, among them this
boy. We secured a minister, and held
protracted services, in which over forty
professed faith in Christ. They organi-
zed church and erected a building.
l met Jim at the college he was at
tending. He had grown so that l failed
to recognize him. He said, You re-
member the meeting you held in our
schoolhouse?" Yes, 1 remember it and
you, too" well, 1 gave my heart to
Christ at that time, and have come here
to make something of myself How
would you like to be a Sunday-school
missionary" 81 think 1 would like to
do just that kind OF work"
During his summer vacation, we sent
him out as a missionary. About the first
OF August he wrote that he had organ
lied eight Sunday-schools, and in order
to put them in better shape, some meet
1ngs should be held. l wrote at once,
Go ahead, and may God bless you!"
He commenced holding services in
groves, ealing out two or three of his
schools in sort of convention and con-
tlnu1ng the meetings at night. At the
close or the summer work. over two hun
dred had protested conversion. The
next vacation he worked again, also the
third summer, having the use of a tent
for special services.
During his last summer. which was
spent in very hard communities, he was
compelled to sleep in his tent at night to
protect 1t from the roughs who threat
ened TO cut the ropes and damage the
canvas. AT the close of the season, he
was taken with pneumonia, caused by
exposure and overwork. He fingered
through the winter, and on the 18th OF
March God took him into himself.
DuTlnS CneSe three summers he organ
lied thirty-three Sunday-schools, having
gathered into them over eleven hundred
boys and girls.
Eight churches have already devel-
oped from these schools.
In special meetings he held, ten hun
dred and twenty-five persons protested
faitd in Christ.
thus early in the Christian warfare
the young hero fell! His memory is
precious, his example an inspiration,
and his labors continue to yield fruit.
The great cause to which he devoted
his life still survives. Every year mis-

Our lesson Is the DeauC1Iul story OF
the Amounting, by Mary, of Jesus in
bethany, in the house of Simon, the leper.
thany. in the house of Simon, the leper
We have Jesus commentator of it, for
He said, "Wheresoever the gospel shall
be preached in the whole world, there
shall also this, that this woman hath
done be told for memorial of her."
This story is now being told in four
different languages to every great ma
ton on earth.
1t was at supper OF which Simon,
the leper, was host that the amounting
took place. We learn from John that
Jesus came to Bethany from Jericho,
where he had cured Bartimaeus of his
blindness, and won the heart of Zaccha-
Gus. Probably reaching Bethany on Fri
day and Simon's supper was on Satur-
day after the sun was set, and the Sab
bath had ended. 1t was Just six days
before his crucifixion.
The story of the lesson is, that ST.
mon whom Jesus had probably healed
OF his leprosy, gave a supper. To him
1t must have been a thanksgiving feast.
AS guests, we find Jesus, Lazarus,
the twelve disciples, and people of the
village The sisters, Martha and Mary
are there serving. Mary has a flask OF
very precious perfume. She is impell-
ed by an adoring love for Jesus whom
she recognizes as the Messiah and Re-
ueeher, to pour its contents, not upon
MS head but with humility, upon his
ieet and wipes them with her hair.
Inc disciples were indignant at what
tney considered waste, and thought it
would have been better to have sold it
ana given the proceeds to the poor.
