But Quala that night heard from the stranger, not " endless genealogies, " but a story so touching that it captivated his whole soul. The stranger was Ko-thah-byoo, the Karen con- vert, on his first preaching tour. And no sooner had the glad tidings reached Quala's ears, than he welcomed them with his whole heart. " I said to myself, " were his words long afterwards, alluding to that occasion, " ' Is 232 A KAKEN FAMILY. not this the very thing we have been waiting for ? ' I believed, when I fir...st heard. " Among the group of inquirers who had crowded around the dying missionary that day in the jungle, longing to confess Christ, was a family of three a mother, and her son, and her daughter, who, at the three daily meetings, had been always the first to come and the last to leave. " If ever human being, " writes an eye-witness, " received the gospel as glad tidings, that woman did. Were I an artist, called upon to depict Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus, I should imme- diately transfer her to the canvas, from the picture on the tablet of my memory, as I have seen her seated at the teacher's feet, listening, through her large almond eyes, which beamed with intelligence and happiness, and fascinated every beholder.
