A SMALL BEGINNING.

FIFTY years ago seven shoemakers in a shop in the city of Hamburg said, "By the grace of God we will help to send the gospel to our destitute fellow-men." In twenty-five years they had established fifty self-supporting churches, had gathered out 10,000 converts, had distributed 400,000 Bibles and 80,000 tracts, and had carried the gospel to 50,000,000 of the race. It would take only 160 such men to carry the gospel to the whole world in twenty years.—Christian Standard.
