missionary's hand.'' From time to time he drew 
on it, until at the time he came about a gift for the 
Missionary Meeting he had only four and sixpence 
left, and knew it would be three months before he 
could hope to get any more. Still he asked me to 
give him three shillings of it, and when I de- 
murred, he began, with tears in his eyes, to point 
out what God and the Mission had done for him — 
a bush boy — he said he could give no less, and I 
had to yield. Shall I tell you how I felt? I had 
often sung those lines, *'Take my silver and my 
gold, not a mite would I withhold," but I never 
realised just how much it meant if truly carried out, 
as I did with John's three shillings in my hand, 
and his remaining eighteenpence locked away in 
the safe. It is all very well to pray and sing that 
the Gospel might fly abroad, but surely John Etaji's 
is the only way to give it wings !
