TRACT TALK.

It is said that one of the wealthy merchants of New York City always kept a supply of tracts on his desk; and when he wrote a business letter, he slipped in a tract. When a friend asked his reason for doing so, he replied that he wanted some fruit in the world to come. Just before Mr. Moody went into evangelistic work, he used to sell shoes, and God showed him so much the importance of the work for souls that he would tie up tracts in bundles of shoes for his customers. We have heard of a poor woman in the almshouse, who was one day sorting over her tracts to be given out, and when asked what she was doing, said she was “sorting out her ammunition.” We once heard of a penny

tract, sent by a little girl to Africa, which was the means of the conversion of an African chief, and he was the means of bringing the whole tribe to give up their idols and embrace Christianity. “Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters.”—Selected.
