    Don't Quit

    The least promising lad in a lady's class was a raggedly dressed boy named Bob.  The superintendent secured a suit of new clothes for him.  After three Sundays, Bob was missing.  The teacher visited him and discovered that his new clothes were torn and dirty.  The superintendent gave him a second new suit, and Bob returned to Sunday school.  After attending twice, his place was empty again.  Once more the teacher learned that the second suit had gone the same way as the first.  Utterly discouraged, she told the superintendent that she must give him up.  Please do not do that, urged the superintendent.  I'll give him a third suit if he will promise to attend regularly.  Bob did promise, and he did attend regularly.  He became an earnest Christian, joined the church, was a teacher and studied for the ministry.  He became Dr. Robert Morrison, honored missionary to China, who translated the Bible into the Chinese language and opened the gate to teeming millions in that country.
