"THE BREAK OF DAY." A South African story by M. Sinclair Middlemiss. Drummond's Tract Depot, Sterling, Scotland; S. W. Partridge and Company, Ltd., London.
The object of the story is to show the work that has been wrought in South Africa in a missionary way—something of the progress that has been made. The little story tells what has been demonstrated by many a missionary's work,—what the gospel itself will do among the most ignorant and benighted.
