buted among them, each one taking five cents. This was the
seed from which they reaped a harvest of twenty-six dollars. The
following are some of the methods by which they secured this remarkable
result. One little girl bought flower-seeds and raised flowers which she
sold, and made five dollars from her five cents. Another made candy and
sold it. A little boy had a peanut stand, and one little fellow earned
his money by "going without things." Could not older people follow his
example? It suggests Thoreau's epigram, "Your wealth is measured by the
number of things you can go without;" or, better yet, Paul's magnificent
words, "poor, yet making many rich." This little fellow has hit upon the
real principle of success, whether the life is spent in a field of
active missionary work, or in "doing without things" for Christ's sake,
that His name may be proclaimed, and that His kingdom may come.

_CALLS FOR BOOKS._
Calls often come to us from the field for hymn books. Churches or
individuals having unused books, enough of the same kind to supply a
small congregation, can get them put where they will do the most good by
sending them to our rooms prepaid.
If any of our pastors have BARNES' NOTES in complete or incomplete sets,
which they may now no longer need, the American Missionary Association
can use them most profitably in supplying their young missionaries. Send
them to us at the Bible House.
