A LADY missionary traveling in the hills near Mussoorie, in northern India, stopped to speak with a gang of coolie women working on the road. Among them was a woman of considerable intelligence, who spoke Urdu fairly well. Her husband was a Tibetan, who had in some way obtained a Gospel in the Tibetan language. The woman was familiar with the story of our Lord, but she refused to mention his crucifixion and death. “It was too awful,” she said; “I can not bring myself to read it.” The lady asked, “Did you think his death was the end of all? Did you not see that he died for your sins and mine, and then arose from the dead and ascended to heaven, where he now lives to intercede for us?” A wave of delight swept over her face, as she replied: “I am so glad you have told me. I see it all. It must be true. He lives to save.”—Selected.
