For two days they killed chickens, and read th e signs; then they called me and said they had found th e man. My older b ro th er had fixed th a t medicine to bew itch my house, and kill me, in order th a t he m ight seize th e king dom for himself. I knew then th a t th e ir words were idle ones, and th ere was no rest for me in th e ir practices. From th e tim e I first believed in Jesus as my Master, I have had re st from these words of my ancestors. I have very g reat love and rejoicing in my heart. Now th e re is no fear of death w ith me, because I ¡have a hiding place; my hiding place is in Jesus, and th e re is nothing th a t can remove me from Him. I am w aiting w ith g reat joy, for His coming to ta k e me w ith Him, and to give me th a t crown of rejoicing th a t will last th rough all my days. I praise God for th e grace th a t redeemed me, w ith the blood of His Son. I was a th ing of corruption and offense before Him; bu t now I am washed and am acceptable in His sight. I have sorrow th a t I have nothing more to give Him, bu t I have given Him all my h eart, and all th a t I possess I count as His in my stewardship. I w ant to be ru led by Him all my days. I am your child, PAULO WAMBA, K ing of Shinyanga. Note: It will be cheering to know th a t one of W amba’s brothers and a son of one of his form er slaves were baptized here on Janu ary 7, 1923, while ano ther younger b ro th er is a candidate for baptism ; and only last month his wife, the d aughter of b itter Mohammedans, declared h er desire to know and follow W amba’s God. This of course will result in her being outcast by h er people. P ray fo r her. W. J. M. GOD CA R E S ! DO W E ? Fo rg et not th a t your first and principal business as a disciple of Christ is to give the Gospel to those who have it not. He who is not, a m issionary Christian will be a missing Christian when the g reat day comes of bestowing the rewards of service. Therefore ask yourselves daily what the Lord would have you do in connection w ith the work of carrying the news of salvation to the perishing millions. Search carefully whether he would have you go yourself to the heathen, if you have th e youth and; fitness required for the work. Or, if you cannot go in person, in quire diligently w hat blood mortgage th ere is upon your property in the in terest of Foreign Missions, how much you owe, to the heathen because of w hat you owe to Christ for redeem ing you w ith His precious blood. I w arn you th a t it will go hard w ith you when your Lord comes to reckon w ith you, if He finds your wealth hoarded up in needless accumulations instead of being sacredly devoted to giving th e Gospel to the lost.
