thusiastic on the subject Of missions and is
such an entertaining and interesting speaker

own zeal Taking as an illustration the pic
ture of The Rich Young Ruler which hung in

rayed himself in his Sunday best, hitched up
his horse into the buggy and turned its nose
toward Nottingham. just what he had given
