The following correspondence will explain itself. A letter sent by mail to buy _Wellsprings_, and enclosing the necessary money missed its way, and was brought with waste paper to a mill; there it was found by a boy of ten years. The sender of the letter was sought out by the boy’s father, and, as a result of it all, the money, somewhat increased, has through us purchased _Wellsprings_ to supply the school at Ogeechee, Ga., for six months. So at last this Jonah has arrived at his Nineveh. We think this singular discovery and pleasant correspondence has in it several suggestive lessons. If some of our young friends will write us what they think it teaches, we will be glad to print their suggestions in the next MISSIONARY. “N. A., MASS., May 17, 1878. “Mr. D. O.: _Sir_—The letter written by yourself, which I enclose in this, will explain the reason for my wishing to ascertain your address. My little boy found the letter, with the money enclosed, in the paper-mill in this place, as he was looking among the old waste for some fancy scraps of paper. He came to me with it, to know what was to be done. I thought it a good opportunity to impress upon his mind the value of strict honesty, and told him that of course we must try to find the owner. Thus, after being tossed about among old rags for nearly two years, the money will if not again miscarried, return to its original owner. If the money is received, please acknowledge the same. “Yours truly, C. R. D.” _The Lost Letter._ “NEW YORK, July 19, 1876. “MOSES H. SARGENT, ESQ.: “_Dear Sir_—Enclosed find one and 20/100 dollars. Please send me by return (if possible) the value in _Wellsprings_—the latest issue. I want to use them next Sabbath. “Yours very truly, D. O.” “NEW YORK, May 20, 1878. “Mr. C. R. D.: _Dear Sir_—Yours of the 17th, with the money enclosed, reached me, for which please accept my best thanks. “Due inquiries for the letter were made at the post-office here at the time, but without success, and of course I concluded that it had been opened and money stolen by some post office official. Even now there is some mystery, which perhaps might be removed if the (original) envelope could be found. “The amount at the time was designed for a good cause, in connection with Sunday-school work, and I feel, after what has happened, that the Lord, having delivered it from the jaws of the paper mill, has an additional claim upon it, and so I propose that your little boy (with your help, if necessary) name an object to which he would like it applied.
