Mrs. W. F. Armstrong tells this incident of the native Karens, of
Burmah:
An old Karen pastor came one day with a large contribution for
the foreign mission work. I said to him, “How can your people
give so much? I know they are very poor, the overflow of the
river has swept away your crops, your cattle are dying of
disease, it is the famine time with you.” “Oh,” he said, with
such a contented smile, “it only means rice without curry.” They
could live on rice and salt, but they could not live without
giving the bread of life to their brethren.--PIERSON,
“The Miracles of Missions.”
