A Missionary Twig by Emma L. Burnett

Book Cover
"A Missionary Twig" by Emma L. Burnett is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on young Marty Ashford and her friend Edith Howell as they engage with the concept of charitable giving, specifically the idea of saving a portion of their money for missionary work. Through their experiences, the narrative explores themes of kindness, stewardship, and the importance of caring for both local and distant communities.The opening of the novel introduces us to Marty, who is fascinated by Edith's practice of saving money for a blue box dedicated to missions. As the two girls converse, we learn about Edith’s dedication and the biblical principle of tithing, which plays a significant role in how she manages her finances. Marty's curiosity transforms into a desire to also contribute, leading her to consider how she might help others, including by joining the local mission band and even discussing the struggles of children in far-off lands. Through thoughtful exchanges with adults and playful interactions, the beginnings of the story set the stage for their journey into philanthropic endeavors and personal growth.
