MR. SANDERS was visiting the big city of London. He was very much interested in seeing the wonderful things he had heard about as a boy, but he was even more interested in speaking to those he met about the Lord Jesus, the Saviour of sinners.
One day he was permitted to visit a school of boys. It was a rather strange and new experience, for all the boys were deaf and dumb! Mr. Sanders beckoned for a height young boy to come forward to the blackboard. He wrote down.

Mr. Sanders had to wipe the tears from his eyes as he looked at the happy face of the afflicted boy.
