One of the 26 Kinds of Tracts in the DOLLAR ASSORTMENT
PICTURE, if you will, a swollen river in the marshy district of Africa, with scores of travelers drawn up in camp along its banks, waiting for the torrent to assuage. To the terrible discomfort due to the wet weather, lack of cooking facilities, and mosquitoes, is added the presence of an open canteen (saloon) near-by, from which issue misery, poverty, and disease to the surrounding native community. This is where the missionary who wrote "The Name" met the old Mochuana heathen who had literally sold himself, his farm, his goats, and all, and brought suffering to his wife and family, and wretchedness and disease to himself. He listened with eagerness to the story given in the third chapter of Acts, of how the great Doctor had healed the lame man. Then in faith they knelt there in the wet on the ground and prayed for help. "Make me well," implored the drunken heathen. He arose and asked, "What is the name?" "Jesus," was the reply. "Jesus, Jesus," he went away murmuring to himself. "After some days," the account continues, "we returned to that crossing, to find the river had subsided sufficiently to allow wagons' getting over. As we approached one of the wagons, a woman came toward me. 'Missis,' she said, 'is it you that spoke to my husband last week? O, what did you do that he is healed from that drink?' . . . 'It is all true, missis, all true, what you told me. My wife wants to know, but I did not know if I might tell her.' 'O, yes,' I said, 'you may tell her all.' 'Then, wife,' he said, lowering his voice to an odd whisper, 'it is a name, just a name.' . . . 'May I tell the name?' On my assenting, he breathed, rather than uttered, the word 'Jesus.' Of how that name had kept him from yielding to temptation, he then tells. In closing this beautiful and touching story, the writer brings hope to all those who would be delivered from any evil habit.
