their respective graves. This kind of worship has two meanings, one
is to repair and decorate the graves, the other, to worship with
sacrifice, consisting of already cooked chicken and pork, and paper
which represents money and clothing. My father and relatives, of
course, follow the same custom. I accompanied them to the graves,
but I only helped them in repairing the graves. Some of these
relatives were school teachers. They spoke scornfully at me for not
worshiping. They said, "You cannot show honor to your ancestors
without kneeling before them." I then said to them, "Can you tell
me the origin of sacrifice? Who established it, and for what
purpose?" This seemed to strike them like lightning, for they all
stood and had nothing to say. I then said, let me give you the
origin. I told them that after God created heaven and earth and all
things, he finally made a man and a woman, and placed them in Eden,
the paradise, and how they sinned against God's command by eating
the forbidden fruit. This brought death into the world. They were
driven out of Paradise and had to work hard for a livelihood, but
God was so merciful that he promised that the seed of the woman
shall bruise the head of the serpent; that is, he would provide a
Saviour, by which death could be conquered. God told them that when
they sinned again, they must offer sacrifice and confess their
sins, then God would forgive them. From that time on, the people
offer sacrifice. This sacrifice is a type of Jesus, who gave his
life and died on the cross for all who are willing to believe in
him. So Jesus paid it all, and after his crucifixion there is no
more offering required. That is the reason why the Christians do
not offer sacrifice, and why I do not worship in this manner. For
no one deserves our worship but God alone. I only honor the
ancestors with my heart. I love them just as much as you do
yourselves.
When they heard this explanation, they were greatly surprised. Then
they spoke among themselves by saying, "His doctrine is good; this
is all news to us; our Confucius books never tell us about the
origin of sacrifice." This seemed to break down their pride a great
deal, and after this they shew great willingness to listen to the
Word of Life. Oh! how I long to have them learn of Jesus and become
His followers. I not only pray for them, but every one in our
village. May the Lord bless the seed sown in their hearts.
Moreover, may He enlighten every soul in China. Yours in Christ,
CHIN TOY.

Not many weeks since, the Congregational Sunday-school of Ithaca, N.Y.,
sent us forty-five dollars towards the education of an Indian girl at
Santee Agency, saying "we expect to make it seventy dollars." The story
"How I Became A Golden Missionary," tells how they did it. It is a clear
case of evolution. If any of our young people do not know what evolution
is, they can learn how to start one by reading
HOW I BECAME A GOLDEN MISSIONARY.
My birthplace was in a very Superior region, as for millions of years I
had dwelt near Lake Superior. My superior quality almost defied the arts
of man. I first became conscious of existence when being liberated from
my copper prison. I was, as I heard men say, ninety per cent. pure
copper. Up to this time I had never been disturbed, but now sounded
sharply the click of the hammer upon the cold chisel that rudely
separated me from all that had been most closely associated with me. I
heard men say that I was to be made over; and I was transported far away
to a place where I was exposed to fierce fires, and without suffering I
was made to assume a liquid form. I was then poured into a mold from
which I came out, verily, a new creature. I was very bright and
beautiful, shining and glowing, as if still retaining in myself the
fires that had transformed me. I now discovered that I had a new name,
for they called me "One Cent," and gave me this motto, "In God we
trust."
I heard it said that I was a tool to assist in civilization, and I soon
found myself aiding men in commercial transactions. I had manifold
experiences and, like most useful people, found that while age increased
my usefulness it subdued my glitter. At last, after many, many years, I
fell into the hands of a Sabbath-school Superintendent with a missionary
spirit, and by him was distributed with many of my companions to the
children of his Sabbath-school, with the injunction to multiply. I fell
into the hands of a boy who undertook to help me in a business way
which should tend to my rapid increase. At the end of a fixed period I
and my companions were to be returned to the Superintendent with our
respective gains; and then, after relating our experiences, we were to
be sent forth as missionaries to the Indians. Before this, my aims had
been simply to aid in commerce, with no definite plan before me, and
like all who have no fixed purpose, I drifted here and there and took no
special interest in the world. But now I was to become a missionary; I
was not only to aid in civilization but in advancing Christianity.
My new aim in life made me anxious concerning the boy who was to be my
helper. I took the deepest interest in all his plans in regard to me and
listened attentively when he bargained with his father for a fourth of a
cent's worth of yarn and the use of a needle with which to darn his
father's socks. I thought that a boy of sixteen who was willing to
increase me by undertaking to darn his father's stockings, deserved all
the aid that I could give him. I looked on with interest and admiration,
while he, with earnest toil, completed his task. When the task was
ended, I found myself increased from one to three cents. This small
beginning was in reality the most important of all our transactions and
demonstrated that we could work harmoniously together.
While he went to the St. Lawrence for his vacation, he did not give me a
vacation nor wrap me in a napkin, but left me where I grew to four
cents. Then we invested my whole increase in hickory nuts, which
transaction increased me to fifteen cents. I here discovered that I had
not only multiplied but had become of a more precious metal. I was now
silver. We now invested in peanuts and hickory nuts and I was increased
from fifteen to thirty cents. The community in which we lived manifested
such a fondness for peanuts that we again invested and I found myself
increased to seventy-five cents.
Coming in contact with one who mourned over sleepless nights, we
undertook to add to her comfort by making a hop pillow. Having invested
in materials, and the boy making the pillow himself upon the machine, we
realized an increase of twenty-five cents. Now to my great surprise and
still greater delight, I found that I had again been transformed into a
more precious metal. I was now gold. As I could attain no higher degree
in precious metals, it was decreed that in this form I should go forth
on my career as a missionary.
Good-bye to you, Lottie, and Rose, and Marion, and John, and Carl, and
Waldo. Our association has been very pleasant together, and I hope that
in taking leave of you I am not to pass altogether from your knowledge.
I should desire that this history of my growth and increase may
accompany me, that in time to come I may be able to report to you of the
good that through me you have been able to accomplish. Once more
good-bye.
YOUR HAPPY MISSIONARY GOLD DOLLAR.
CHILDREN'S PAGE.
THE STORY OF THE BULLETS.
Among some unpublished papers of the late Rev. Dr. Pike, we find the
following story, which we know will be of interest to our readers, both
from the sketch itself and the association with its author:
A few years after Gen. Hooker fought his famous battle of the clouds, I
visited Lookout Mountain, and, while searching for some memento on the
battle-field, picked up a slightly bruised rifle bullet. This to me was
a real prize. It was not too large, it would keep.
A slight illness, aggravated by the fatigue of the day, induced me to
accept the urgent request of a former acquaintance to spend the night
with him upon the mountain. During the evening, I chanced to show him
the bullet, saying I thought myself quite fortunate in finding it.
"Oh," said he, "that's nothing. A colored woman after the battle
gathered and sold so many that she was able to purchase a cow with the
money, and now that cow supports her family."
I left Chattanooga the nest morning, and thought no more of the incident
for a dozen years. A short time since, however, I was spending the night
in a small village in one of the mountain towns of Tennessee. At
nightfall, looking out from my hotel, I observed a company of colored
people ambling along towards a low wooden meeting-house, and time
hanging heavily on my hands, I decided to join the dusky worshipers. I
slipped in, therefore, when the meeting was a little under way, and
allowed myself to be ushered up to the front seat, directly under the
eye of an intelligent looking young man who proved to be the preacher
for the occasion. After a few opening services, which embraced the usual
variety in ordinary churches, the minister took for his text the
passage, "Ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and
it shall be opened unto you."
"Now," said he, when he had gotten on well with his introduction, "you
must not believe you will surely receive precisely the thing you ask for
in just the way you might like it. Let me give you an illustration from
my personal experience. When a little boy, I lived with my mother on the
southern slope of Lookout Mountain, and remember well the day that Gen.
Hooker fought his great battle up there and how he and his soldiers
marched bravely away. For a long time the children and the grown people
searched the battle-fields over, day after day, hoping to find things of
value. My mother made it her business to hunt for bullets, and at length
the number she gathered herself and took from us boys was so great that
she was able to purchase a cow with the money they brought.
"A benevolent gentleman living in New York at this time soon after
secured the Government buildings on the top of the mountain that had
been used for the sick soldiers, and fitted them up nicely for Northern
teachers, who opened a boarding-school for white students. I took milk
to the institution from our cow, every morning, and how I wished that I
might gain admittance to the school and procure an education! One day I
heard the scholars reciting in concert, 'Ask and ye shall receive, seek
and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.' It came over
me most powerfully and I repeated it again and again. I said it to my
mother, and inquired of her what it meant, and why it impressed me so,
and who it was that said it.
"She replied, 'I dunno. I reckon I'se heard dem words afore. 'Pears like
dey was spoke by the bressed Lord.'
"The more I thought of it, the more undecided I was what I could do, or
what my mother could do for me, I knew, however, that the Lord could do
everything.
"Well, the nest time I met the good-natured teacher who managed the
school, I made bold to ask him to allow me to tell him all about it, and
this was his reply. 'Our Lord made that promise long before the
discovery of America and the establishment of the peculiar institutions
of this country. If he had lived at this day, I reckon,' he continued
with a look of drollery, 'he would have said "Ask and ye shall
receive--if you aint a nigger." I can't take you into my school because
you are black, but I'll send you down to the American Missionary school
at Chattanooga. You can ask and receive there whether you are black or
white.'
"So, shortly after he told my experience to the teacher in the town, who
arranged that my mother should take me and the cow to a little farm just
out of the city, giving me an opportunity to attend his school regularly
until I was fitted to enter an institution of a higher grade. I then
went away and pursued a course of study for six years, teaching during
the summer and receiving aid from my mother, who kept the cow all the
while for her own support and my assistance. I asked, I received, but
not just in the way I hoped."
When he had finished speaking, I took him heartily by the hand, told him
of my early visit to the mountain and the bullet still in my possession.
I talked with him about his teachers, his struggles for self-help, his
aim to work for the progress of the church and his consecration to the
duties of the Christian ministry. I conversed with him in reference to
others of his acquaintance and believe that his experience serves to
illustrate the ingenuity of the colored people in seeking their own
advancement.
"They climb like corals, grave on grave,
But pave a path that's sunward,
They're beaten back in many a fray,
Yet newer strength they borrow;
And where the vanguard rests to-day,
The rear shall camp to-morrow."
