One writes, “Last winter I brought in the wood for mother, and she gave me fifty cents.  I now am very glad that I have not spent it, as I can give it to you to buy tracts for the little heathen children of India.”

A second writes, “The enclosed fifty cents my grandmother gave me when I was a very little boy, for sitting still one hour.  Will you please to use it to furnish the Bible and missionary to the heathen.”

A third writes, “I have always spent my money for candy and other trifles, but since I have heard about the darkness and misery of the heathen, I intend to save it all, and put it into the missionary-box.”

A fourth writes, “The enclosed I earned by knitting.  I intended to save it, till I had sufficient to carry me a short journey to see some of my friends; but when I heard you tell about the little heathen girls, I thought I would give it to you, for the poor heathen children.”

A fifth writes, “I have enclosed twelve and a half cents, which my father gave me to go and see General Tom Thumb.  When I heard you lecture last evening, I came home and concluded to give it to you, and let you buy Bibles for the poor heathen.”

A sixth writes, “I remember, before my mother died, she used to tell me a great deal about the children of India, and now she is in heaven.  I think she would like to have me give my heart to the Saviour, and go and teach those poor children.  I give you some money that was given to me to see an exhibition, which I saved to give for such things, rather than go.”

A seventh writes, “You told us that two cents were the means of converting a young man.  I would give two cents every week, if it would convert souls to Christ.”

An eighth writes, “My mother told me, some time ago, that every day I recited my lessons without missing a word, she would give me a penny; and not being desirous to spend it, I do wish you would take it—­fifty cents—­to the heathen.  It may buy some tracts at the bazaar or market.”

A ninth writes, “We feel sorry for those poor heathen children.  We will try to earn some money to buy Bibles for the heathen.  Father has promised us some land to work next summer, and we think we can raise something and sell it to get the money.”

A tenth writes, “Since you were here last spring, I have saved what I could—­one dollar—­for the heathen children, and should be glad if I could do more.”

An eleventh writes, “The money which you will find enclosed, I earned by working for my mother on Saturday, which I intended to keep to buy a microscope; but when I heard you preach on Sabbath, I concluded to give it to buy Bibles for the poor heathen children.”

A twelfth writes, “The enclosed, five dollars, was a birthday present from my father, but I want to give it to Dr. Scudder, for the poor little boys in Ceylon.”

A thirteenth writes, “Please accept my mite, by the hand of my brother.  I have been keeping it for the purpose of buying a geography; but when I heard you preach yesterday, I thought I had better send it to you, for the poor heathen.”
