DAVID Livingstone, the African missionary and explorer, felt the cold of the winter at home very much. One day when out walking with some friends, a little girl — one of the party — was chilly, and tried to screen herself from the wind by walking behind some of the others. At length her hands were so painful that she began to cry. Some of the elder people scolded her, but Livingstone said, “Do not scold her; I know what it is to feel cold"; and he took off his large woolen gloves and put them on the child, completely covering her hands and wrists. Of course, he had to go without gloves himself, but he was glad to do this for a little girl.
Was not this like his Master who took our place and suffered for us upon the cross of Calvary?
