Fruit from a Small Seed.

FIFTY years ago a child dropped one cent into a missionary box. He was sowing a seed that was "less than all seeds." But it became a tree. A little tract that cost just that single cent fell into the hands of a young man, the son of a Burman chief, who was so anxious to know what it was about, that he traveled 250 miles to learn it. The Christian teachers taught him; and from the reading of that tract he arose with a new heart in his bosom, and went home with a basketful of similar tracts to distribute among his people. He was a man of influence, and crowds came to hear him talk and explain the gospel as he had learned it. In one year 1,500 natives were baptized as the result of his labors.—Western Recorder.
