enthusiastic by the time he finished his eloquent appeal, and at this
moment Mr. Sankey offered $700 to start one station, and shortly after
Mr. Moody pledged an equal amount. A lady then handed in $400 to go
with the $300 subscribed during the address. Mr. Moody himself then
made a brief appeal, speaking of the Indian boys and girls in his
school and the high rank they had taken. He offered a short prayer and
then dismissed the audience, telling Mr. Shelton to "make himself
plenty" around the buildings during the afternoon, and doubtless he
would receive more money.

Mr. Shelton did "make himself plenty" around the building, and the
result has been that nearly $3,000 were contributed either in cash
or in pledges that have since been redeemed. Still other
contributions are anticipated as the outcome of this fine address.
Three out-stations will be started at once in Dakota, one of them
bearing the name of Mr. Moody, another of Mr. Sankey, and the third
may be named Northfield or it may bear the name designated by the
donor.

the Missionary remember the little sketch I gave some years ago of one
of our missionary helpers--Hong Sing. A very little man he is, in
"bodily presence weak" and in speech, for lack of lungs, sometimes "of
no account." Yet, though near-sighted almost to blindness, and though
