David Livingstone’s Early Life

At ten years of age a certain boy began to work in a cotton factory. His hours were from six in the morning to six at night. Out of the first week's wages he bought the “Rudiments of Latin.” At sixteen he could read Virgil and Horace. Then he went to the university. Then he became a missionary and a blessing to hundreds of degraded heathen. He died in Africa, but was buried in Westminster Abbey. His name was David Livingstone.—Morning Light.
