A Zealous Young Lady.

I was very much interested some time ago in a young lady that lived in
the city. I don't know her name, or I have forgotten it. She was about
to go to China as the wife of a missionary on his way to some heathen
field. She had a large Sabbath-school class in the city and succeeded in
getting a blessing upon many of her scholars through her efforts. She
was very anxious to get some one who would look after her little flock
and take care of them while she was gone. She had a brother who was not
a Christian, and her heart was set on his being converted and taking her
place as leader of the class. The young man--perhaps he is in the
audience to-day--refused to accept of Christ, but away in her closet
alone she pleaded with God that her brother might be converted and take
her place. She wanted to reproduce herself and that is what every
Christian ought to do--get somebody else converted to take up your work.
Well, the last morning came, and around the family altar as the moment
drew near for the lady's departure, and they did not know when they
should see her again, the father broke down, and the boy went up stairs.
Just before she left for the train the boy came down, and putting his
arms around his sister's neck, said to her, "My dear sister, I will take
your Saviour for mine, and I will take care of your class for you," and
the young man took her class, and the last I heard of him he was filling
her place. There was a young lady established in good work.

How Moody Treated the Committees.

I remember when I was in Chicago before the fire, I was on some ten or
twelve committees. My hands were full. If a man came to me to talk about
his soul I would say I haven't time; got a committee to attend to. But
now I have turned my hack on everything--turned my attention to saving
souls, and God has blessed me and made me an instrument to save more
souls during the last four or five years than during all my previous
life. And so if a minister will devote himself to this undivided work,
God will bless him. Take that motto of Paul's: "One thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those
things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Fourscore and Five.

When we went to London there was an old woman eighty-five years old, who
came to the meetings and said she wanted a hand in that work. She was
