Doubtless he would not have regretted his toil, if it were the means of saving but a single soul.

But it is a grievous thing to me that he should have toiled so hard to translate the Bible, and now the language and the people are gone! The Indian Bible itself is almost the only relic of both." "Laurence," said his Grandfather, "if ever you should doubt that man is capable of disinterested zeal for his brother's good, then remember how the apostle Eliot toiled.

And if you should feel your own self-interest pressing upon your heart too closely, then think of Eliot's Indian Bible.

It is good for the world that such a man has lived and left this emblem of his life." The tears gushed into the eyes of Laurence, and he acknowledged that Eliot had not toiled in vain.

Little Alice put up her arms to Grandfather, and drew down his white head beside her own golden locks.
"Grandfather," whispered she, "I want to kiss good Mr.Eliot!" And, doubtless, good Mr.Eliot would gladly receive the kiss of so sweet a child as little Alice, and would think it a portion of his reward in heaven.
Grandfather now observed that Dr.Francis had written a very beautiful Life of Eliot, which he advised Laurence to peruse.
