generous response has come in, but still the Secretary has a large
number of names of schools ready to receive above the number of
those ready to give. Are there not other Sunday-schools with
papers to send? Is there not some girl or boy ready to undertake
to collect the same? Do not be afraid to send a few, if you have
not many, only send them regularly and with prayer. Do not forget
to be “ready to distribute, willing to communicate.” This is your
opportunity as well as that of your father and mother, and the work
is great. Write to the Secretary of the Woman’s Home Missionary
Association, 20 Congregational House, Boston, Mass., and she will
send you the name of a school where the boys and girls will be, you
can hardly think how, eager and glad to get your papers.

GRACIE’S MISTAKE.
MRS. HARRIET A. CHEEVER.
“Just think, mamma! grandpa Gray gave me a five dollar bill just as
he was getting into the cars to go home, and said I might do just
what I pleased with it; wasn’t that splendid?”
“Yes, Gracie, what shall you do with it?”
“Don’t know yet, shall have to think;” and Gracie flattened her
nose against the window-pane one short moment, the next she
exclaimed:
“Oh, see, ma, there goes one of those colored students; do you
suppose they ever learn much?”
Something in the child’s tone pained Mrs. Gray, and she answered
seriously:
“Just as much as any others; my little girl has yet to learn that
any difference in young men that is only skin deep is a very slight
difference, and none whatever in the sight of God.”
“Well,” replied the petted child, “I like white folks best, and
_always shall_;” and she gave her pretty head with its fair hair a
smart little toss. Before her mother could reply, she asked hastily:
“May I run across the bit of woods and see Jennie Hale a little
while?”
Her mother said yes, and the next moment Gracie was skipping along
through the “bit of woods” towards the home of her little friend,
when all at once she struck her foot against a little stump,
bounded into the air for an instant, then fell heavily. There she
lay moaning in dreadful pain.
“Oh, dear!” she cried, “I’ve broken my ankle, I know I have, and
that horrid Dr. Stuart will have to set it, and he sha’n’t, he
sha’n’t! I’ll die if he does! Oh, dear, what shall I do!”
Dr. Frank Bates, a colored student in the medical department of the
college for freedmen, close by, was walking slowly along with a
book in his hand—a way these students have, somehow, of improving
every moment—when he thought he heard a moan. He listened, and sure
enough it _was_ a moan, very near, too, and putting the book in his
pocket, he soon reached the spot where Gracie was lying.
He was a very tall, strong young man, but tender-hearted and gentle
as a woman could be. He knelt beside Gracie, who cried with pain
when he tried to lift her.
“There, there,” he crooned pityingly, his great, soft eyes full
of compassion; “wait a moment, and Dr. Frank’ll make it all right
for poor sissy;” and seeing at once what was the real trouble, he
fortunately found a little board, and tearing his bright Madras
handkerchief into strips, with what skill he could carefully
splintered and bandaged the broken limb; then lifting her firmly in
his strong arms, he carried her steadily and safely along to her
home.
Grade’s mother, in all her distress at her little girl’s pain,
did not forget to thank him warmly for what he had done. Then
she added. “Now we will send for Dr. Stuart, and soon have you
comfortable, poor little Gracie.”
But to Mrs. Gray’s surprise, Gracie cried out: “Oh no, no, mamma,
let Dr. Frank stay; I know my limb is broken and must be set all
right; he told me so; but I want Dr. Frank; I’ll be good, only let
him stay.”
Turning to the young giant who stood quietly by, Mrs. Gray asked if
he dared undertake the case, and understood properly what must be
done.
And he proved he did understand perfectly, for not even the famous
Dr. Stuart could more carefully or skillfully have done what was
needed than did Dr. Frank.
Such friends as they grew to be—the dark-skinned, intelligent young
student, and his fair little patient!
One day Gracie said to her father, “Papa, sha’n’t you pay Dr. Frank
just as much for what he has done for me as you should any one
else?”
Mr. Gray thought a moment, then replied:
“Yes, Gracie, I certainly shall; it is only right; he has earned it
as fairly certainly as any one else could have done.”
And what a help and encouragement it was, the handsome sum which
Gracie’s grateful papa paid to Dr. Frank one day. But one other
day, the great tears stood in Dr. Frank’s fine dark eyes, and he
couldn’t say a word for a long time, when Gracie made him a present
of her five dollar bill “to buy a book with, to remember her by,”
she said child-like; but when he could find his voice again, he
said so sadly, that Gracie will never forget it:
“No fear that Dr. Frank will ever forget the first dear white child
who ever gave him kind words and dared trust him. I am very, very
grateful for dear little sissy’s dollars; but oh, the kind words
are the sweetest sounds Dr. Frank has ever heard yet.”
One day Gracie asked her mother if she remembered how proudly she
said she should _always_ like white folks best.
“Yes, I remember,” replied her mother.
“So does God,” said Gracie very gently; “but I’ve been praying Him
to remember it no more, for what _should_ I have done without my
good, kind Dr. Frank?”
