"I LEFT HER TO GOD."

In West Africa a society in England has a school for the poor native children. One day in that school a little girl struck her schoolmate. The teacher found it out and asked the child who was struck:—
"Did you not strike her back again?"
"No, ma'am," said the child.
"What did you do?" asked the teacher.
"I left her to God," said she.
A beautiful and most efficient way to settle all difficulties, and prevent all fights among children and among men. We shall never be struck by others when they know that we shall not return the blow, but "leave them to God." Then, whatever our enemies do or threaten to do to us, let us leave them to Him, praying that He will forgive them and make them our friends.—Selected.
