The Bible in Brazil.
There are many thrilling stones
of the power and influence the
reading of the Word has had and
is still having throughout this
region. One of the missonaries
relates an interesting incident
a bible left at the house of a
mer, the reading led to the con
version of several members of the
family. It was then lent to the
second, then to the third,
finally to the fourth family, in all
of which like results followed,
lady heard of a mission at work in
a town not far away, and came to
hear him preach and invite him
to the farms. He made several
visits there, and at last organized
a church with twenty-four mem- fruit
bers. He regards this as the
of one Bible left in the communi
ty by one of our colporteurs.
Touring through the regions
north and w r est of this a few years
later,one of the colporteurs wrote: sell
“At Rio San Francisco after
ing quite a number of books we
were preparing to leave when a
gentleman, Sr. Carlos Mariano
Pereira, called on us and told us
that this place had never been vis
ited before by a preacher or col
porteur. He* is very much inter
ested in the gospel, and has been a
subscriber to the Expositor
some years. We met several peo
ple who spoke of him and we
found that he whs the little leaven
which had leavened considerable
of a lump, With great pride this
dear old man showed us a Figuei
redo Bible from the British and
Foreign Bide Society which had
been in his possession for sixty
five years, and I judge from its
appearance and the old gentle
man’s conversation 'hat it had
been well read. The title-page
bore the date of 1821. We preach
ed at his house to a very attentive
audience which filled the front
hall, and there were a great many
outside also.
O 11 one of our journeys in a re
gion not yet visited by colporteur
or missionary one of my colpor
tuers, a new man (the son of a
Catholic priest), asked me to turn
aside from my route to a house
where some of his relatives lived.
About 3 p. m. we came to the
house and were cordially welcom
ed by the lady. The gentleman
came in about five o’clock, and
a dinner of black beans, rice, far-
111 ha (a meal made from the root
of the mandioca), mush, salad,
chicken and coffee were served in
primitive style. The gentleman
was asked if we might preach to
them that night, for it,”
11 I am not able to pay
he replied. it, ) j
.. You don’t have to pay for
said the colporteur.
i c But Ijilways have to pay the
priests,” he answered, “a big price
for all they do for me. ’ •>
The colporteur responded:
“This is a minister of the free
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and it won’t cost you anything to
hear. Here is the invitation,
‘He who hath no money; come ye,
buv, and eat, yea, come, buy wine
and milk without money and
without price. ? 5 5
The farmer readily assented, and
the family, the servants, a few
travelers and ourselves made a
congregation of thirty-five or for
ty. Save the two colporteurs, not
one of them had ever before heard
a gospel sermon. Several seemed
to comprehend a part at least of
the truth and were deeply impress
ed.
Several months after this trip I
received a letter from one of our
colporteurs in which he said that
the farmer and a number of oth
ers were very anxious to have me
return and preach to them. I was
so much occupied that I could not
go, and wrote to one of the mis
sionaries requesting him to go, but
he was also too busy. During the
next year the colporteur visited
the family and found a number
in the community so deeply in
terested that be wrote a most ur
gent letter urging me to go there
and visit them. Again I could
not find time to go, and again ur
ged the missionary to. Attersev
eral months he did go. He found
this man and several others deep
ly interested in the gospel. They
had been reading their Bibles con
stantly. During this first visit
seven persons asked for baptism
and membership in the Church.
Several months later a second vis
it was made to the community,
and nineteen professed their faith
in Christ and asked for admission
into the Church. A young lawyer
studying for priesthood, became
interested in the Bible through one
of our colporteurs was converted,
became a preacher, and is now a
most successful teacher in one of
the Protestant colleges.—Rev.
H. C. Tucker, agent American
Bible Society.
The Boston Globe in a recent
issue has the following to say
tn regard to the poor children . ...
in attendance at the public
sc hools at Milwaukee:
| JFree breakfasts will hence
i forth be furnished to poor chil
j dren at the various public
! schools of Milwaukee, a fund
having been raised for that pur
pose.
It has been found that many
children come to school so hun
gry that they are unable to
study and must be supplied.
It has been suggested by the
superintendent of public schools
of New York that the same state
of things exists in that city.
In England the proposition
has often been made, that poor
children be fed as well as edu
cated.
If the Milwaukee experiment
should become widely adopted
it will add quite an item to our
school expense.
A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist Church
in Georgia, calculated to use over
one hundred gallons of the usual
kind of mixed paint in painting
their church.
They used only 82 gallons of the
Longman & Martinez paint mixed
with 24 gallons of linseed oil.
Actual cost of paint made was less
than .$ 1.20 per gallon.
Saved over $80.00 in paint, and
got a big donation besides.
EVERY CHURCH will be giv
en a liberal quantity whenever
they paint.
Many houses are well painted
with four gallons of L. & M. and
three gallons of linseed oil mixed
therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.
These Celebrated Paints are
sold by Wight & Browne.
A little girl wrote the follow
ing essay on boys: “Boys are
men that have not got big as
their papas, and girls are wo
men that will be ladies by and
bv. When God looked at Ad
- %
am he said to himself: “Well,
I think I can do better if I try
again,” and he made Eve.
Boys are a great trouble. They
wear out everything but soap.
If I had my way the world
would be girls and the rest
dolls. My papa is so nice that I
think he must have been a lit
tle girl when he was a little
boy. Man was made on the
seventh day he rested. Woman
was then made and she has nev
er rested since,”
