And another way of getting money for our school in Persia is to save a part of the money we spend in candies. But I hope that in our dividing between ourselves and missions, none of us may be like the little boy that I heard of not long ago. His uncle gave him two bright new nickels. They were a little fortune to him, and as he looked upon them, he said, “One of these must go for the heathen and the other for candy.” After this decision he put them away, and every few minutes he would go to see if his fortune was safe. But once, after having them out, one of them was missing. What should he do? and which piece was lost, the missionary or the candy money? His little eyes rested upon the shining piece in his hand, and after many minutes of hard struggle with selfishness and benevolence, he said to his mother, “It was the missionary money that I lost!” But then I guess that bigger folks than children often have their business plans, which they think cannot be broken into by missionaries.
