      PREFACE.

      I knew Charlie Newcomer, and I loved him. To me he seemed to have a bright future. And that other children may be led to take his good example in uniting with the church while they are yet children, I take pleasure in telling the story of his life. I have told that story often from the pulpit, in children's meetings, and I tell it now, in this way that a larger congregation may be reached.

      In the home of Charlie and Bessie's parents at Ringgold, I wrote every word of this sketch. It is with considerable hesitancy, too, that the parents allow the facts to be told, since it enters right into their home life, and since some might misjudge their intention concerning their children.

      May his heart's desire now be realized—to be a missionary.

      W. B. S.

      Edgemont, Md., Feb. 2, 1894.

Charlie's home was only a few rods from the school house, and on the same side of the road.

      All right, boys, I will, he answered in return, and in a minute more he was home.

      Dinner was not ready when he reached home, for his mamma had been putting out her washing that forenoon. So he brought the water and then went to the cellar for the bread and butter while his mamma made the gravy, and dinner was soon on the table. While they were eating, Charlie said, Do you think, mamma, I can get up head this afternoon? I've studied my lessons very well.

      I don't know, indeed, said his mamma,
