A Church Built in Madagascar

In Madagascar a poor community connected with the Paris Missions has lately built a church. At the dedication an aged Malagasi minister began his prayer thus: “O Lord, thou hast chosen to astonish us in this village to the end of our days! With a people who have nothing thou hast created a church building; on this land, where our fathers offered their senseless worship, thou hast built thy temple! We, the aged ones among the people, have seen many surprising things, but we never dreamed that we should see this!” In every mission field retrospect gives reason for similar astonishment at what the Lord has done.
