The Bible Alone in the Arctic

A MISSIONARY of the Church Missionary Society of England relates an experience which illustrates the power of the Bible alone, without comment or explanation. Having penetrated to a place called Rivetok, two hundred miles within the arctic circle, he found the Eskimos ready to hear him, and attentive to the Word. On inquiry it developed that seven years before a woman from the little village had visited a mission station, where she learned to read. She carried home with her a few Scripture portions, sharing her knowledge with her fellow villagers, and thus instilling into them a desire for a greater knowledge of the Word.
