Mission Notes

A MAN in Burma possessed a copy of the Psalms in Burmese, which had been left behind by a traveler stopping at his house. Before he had finished the first reading of the book, he resolved to cast his idols away. For twenty years he worshiped the eternal God revealed to him in the Psalms, using the fifty-first, which he had committed to memory, as a daily prayer. Then a missionary appeared on the scene, and gave him a copy of the New Testament. The story of salvation through Jesus Christ brought great joy to his heart, and he said, “For twenty years I walked by starlight; now I see the sun.”—Woman’s Evangel.
