At first he was stupid and stubborn, and unwilling to learn; but after a little while his stolid face began to brighten, his dull eyes sparkled with unusual interest, and he was more and more attentive, till his coarse, animal features wore an entirely new expression. One day he came in with a very serious look, and said in an earnest tone: “Mistress, oh me got bad heart! Ask Great Spirit to give me better heart.” He was told to ask for himself; and then the poor little child of the Great Father went into his own room alone and shut the door, and kneeled down beside the bed and prayed, oh! so earnestly, that God would forgive his sins for Jesus’ sake, and take away his wicked feelings, and show him how to be good. From that moment he was a changed boy. His bad habits were all laid aside. He ceased to be stupid and stubborn and inattentive. He told no more lies, and pilfered no more. His face glowed with kindly feeling, as if a ray from heaven were sleeping on it. His coarse features lost their repulsive expression and became rather pleasant to see. I am sure there was rejoicing in heaven that day over this little stray lamb from the wilderness; and I do not doubt that when God gathers up his jewels from the earth the poor Indian boy will be a precious gem in the Saviour’s crown of glory.
