A Boy Who Had Never Heard of God

—“I never knew it was wrong to tell a lie; I never heard of God!” This was the testimony of a boy fourteen years old at an inquest in the city of London, on the 30th of November. What a confession to be made in the nineteenth century, in the midst of all the efforts to evangelize the world, with the missionary traveling to the ends of the earth! This boy must have come in contact with Christian men every day, but it seems “no man had cared for his soul.”—Christian at Work.
