A converted African went to Robert Moffat, the missionary, and told him that his dog had torn his copy of the New Testament and swallowed some of the leaves of it, and that he was grieved about it, for the dog was very valuable. "But," said the missionary, "why do you grieve so? You can get another Testament, and the leaves will not hurt the dog." "Ah!" said he, "that's what I fear. He is a good hunter and a good watchdog, and the New Testament is so full of gentleness and love that I am afraid he will never be of any service again."
