♦ Whiskers on the Chin, and a lew days later when the missionary passed on his way home and s t o p p e d at thehogan, he found the door opened far enough to let him in. When he went inside, he told the wonderful story of the Saviour who had come from His home of glory to die fo i the sins of Spot of Whiskers on the Chin (as well as for the sins of all of us) and thus make ft possible to come into his heart and make a new m a n - new, because the life of God, eternal life, would oome into his heart. : After hearing the wonderful story a number of times, Spot o f Whiskers on the Chin became a Christian. A _ dear brother once told of the great change made by the coming of Christ into a Navajo’s life in this way: “I did not want the Christian Way. It was no usé to me.-1 was strong in the way of the Navajo. But a seed was dropped into my heart. I said, ‘It cannot grow; these great boulders of Navajo superstition in my heart will, crush' it,’ I kept away from the missionary, but somehow I heard the Story’ again, and it seemed as if someone stirred the ground about the ■seed with a stick. ‘Maybe it will grow,’ I said, ‘but what a poor, crook­ ed thing it will be among these great boulders!’ Someone poured water upon it, and it began to swell, and grow, and came up so strong that it pushed those great boulders of sin aside and— here I am, a Christian!” What a change being a Christian made in the home of Spot of Whiskers on the Chin!- The sad little mother was no l o n g e r sad; the ragged, hungry children were well fed and dressed, and soon the girls were sent to a Mission school, where they too received Christ as Saviour and Lord. One of the girls chose the pretty English name of “Alta.” When her school work there was finished she traveled to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, determined to learn more about God’s Word and how to tell the story of His Jove to her own people. Now, back at the Mission and working in a large hospital, she has been spending her days at the bed­ side of sick Navajos who come there from’ many miles around, telling them the story of Jesus and how will­ ing He is to save lost men and wom­ en, g i r l s and boys who will con­ fess their sin§, turn away from them, and receive Him into their hearts as Saviour. While those dear people lie on beds of pain waiting to be made well again, the “seed” falls into their hearts; it is watered by prayer, and it grows. And then—there are more Christians. God still is seeking “little things” : humble people and their gifts with

which to work His wonders. He will use anything, from a glass of jelly to —you. If you have not already done so, •first receive His Great Gift—the Lord Jesus Christ — as your Saviour from the sin in which you were born, which separates you from God; then lay yourself entirely in His dear hand£ to do with jdst as He shall choose; then when we all stand before Him, you will find He has worked miracles more wonderful than you could dream of—and worked them through YOU.
