had forgiven her sins and was her Saviour, A CONTRIBUTION FROM SOLDIERS' ORPHANS. a very sad thought came to her, and she looked up into the teacher's face again and said: "Missionary, where are my father and mother? Why did you not come to tell us this before?" Her father and mother had died before the missionary came, without ever hearing of Jesus or the way of salvation. "Then I felt," said the missionary, “as the tears rolled down my cheeks, that if I could only speak to the Christians and the Sabbath-schools of my native land, I would tell them to make haste and send out more missionaries, as fast as they could; for thousands and millions of heathen fathers and mothers, and boys and girls too, are passing away every year without so much as knowing that Jesus died to save them." A TEACHER in the "Soldiers' Orphans Home" at Davenport, Iowa, sends to the Treasurer of the American Board a small donation, and writes: "The children of the 'Orphans' Home' desire me to send you the inclosed amount (four dollars and eighty cents) as a contribution to the missionary work in Hindostan. The money has been collected by them through the sale of hickory and hazel nuts, gathered in the beautiful groves surrounding the 'Home.' They are of course poor as regards worldly affairs, but many of them are richly endowed with the graces of the Holy Spirit; and the kindly little hearts of all beat in sympathy for the noble missionaries of the cross in distant lands." ins, Tr.
