Let the Children Work.

A LADY in Iowa writes that last year the children of a small company of Sabbath-keepers in the southern part of that State, began to save money for missionary purposes. Two little girls picked up potatoes and earned five cents. Another little girl, four years of age, received a penny as a prize at school. Others raised vegetables and sold them, and earned a few pennies in various ways, until enough was raised to pay for a copy of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The paper is now sent to a library in the island of New Zealand, where it finds many interested readers.

Eternity alone will reveal the great results that may spring from the labors of those little ones. They did what they could, and all who do that may be sure of receiving a blessing. If all Sabbath-keepers of mature age would labor as faithfully, and with as much zeal, what a mighty impetus would be given to the work. Let no one despise the day of small things.
