them, so they may know to lead His flock back to His fold. But you know how many of the hearts have been discouraged on account of the bad actions of some Chinese. Nevertheless, we must be faithful. Then I think everything will be well done in the Lord’s sight.” What he means is this: that if we are faithful our Lord will be pleased and will accept us, even though many of those for whom we labor and pray refuse to give up their opium, their gambling, their hatreds, and refuse to become Christians, because they would, as Christians, be obliged to abandon these things. Some months since I proposed to Wong Ock, as I could not afford, considering the size of the school, to pay him the full salary of a helper (_i. e._, $25 per month), to seek work for part of the day in some family, as several of our helpers do, or else to go to Point Pedro with reference to making a thorough experiment in the work there. To have accepted either proposition would have increased his monthly income by at least $10, or 66 per cent. This is his reply: “I prayed to God, and He has shown me the right way, I think. No matter to me in what place I work, only for Jesus Christ. But I think I am useful here; also can study myself. I need but little money, only enough to keep me, and you can give what you think best. I do not wish to leave here, nor work in family, as I get too tired to study; not feel very strong. The question is, What use am I to God? Because not our will, but His, be done. If we can be of use to God, we ought to be satisfied, whether we dwell among the savages or become poor and suffer as Job did, for even our Christ the Lord left the holier and happier place and came to this dark and sinful world to die for our sins. Now, I am sorry if a man drive a hen away, if the eggs she set upon have not time enough to be hatched. My dear brother, if I feel so for the hen, shall I leave the boys whom I have preached to and cared for ever so long, and some of them nearly come to be Christians? I think not. Still I wish to do right.” * * * * * CHILDREN’S PAGE * * * * * TED’S TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. A TRUE STORY. BY AN ATLANTA TEACHER
