The present life was full ' of darkness and sin, there light was no amid llie coining shadows of death, and his heart was hungry for the message of fife and peace. lie was sure the while men, who had the wonderful Book, would come, and that his people would share the blessings their religion had brought to their own land. But the years passed, and of they did not come. Faint memories the blessed word he had heard lingered God in his heart; hut the people to whom had entrusted that treasure kept it to themselves, and he and lus people would soon go out into the darkness without the fight. His eve was growing dim with age, but he still looked for their coming. Surely a messenger might have been sent. Among the thousands of people thronging the temples of the white man’s God, some one could have been f oun( j w i 10 W ouhl be willing to forego a few years of comfort in a Christian land, that those souls in Africa stretch ing out their hands to God might re ctive the bread of life. Death wa« more swift than the tries HeD ger of life. The cold touch of his fingers was on the heart of the dying chief. Once mere he thought of the white man’s £, promise. Surely it had b for( f , oUe ’could and turning wearily f idol that not help & him the oW chief on the Njger , a him8elf down and died. Had the Savior also forgotten him? “Other sheep,” said Jesus, “I have which are not of this fold.” What of those who withhold the message? A certain man said to bis two sons, “Go work today in my vine¬ yard,” and said, “I go, sir,” and he went not. What Hast Thou Done?
