I asked a little girl of nine years, who thinks she would like to be a missionary, how she liked the sermon? She replied that she could not understand it. I told her that he said the Catholics were sending more teachers among the colored people than we were, and they were fast becoming their converts. She quickly replied, “Then we shall be slaves; we had better look out!” If all children under religious instruction were engaged to do all they could in the cause of Missions, what an additional power would their praying and gleanings be against the enemies of Christian liberty. * * * * * RECEIPTS FOR JULY, 1879. * * * * * MAINE, $158.27.
