and ass priss at the ead of the year she was awarded a
Bible Reeding It diligently the at length told her
mother confession should he made direct to Christ, and
not to a priest. At Aril she feared the ohlld would
berme a "heretic," bet by end by. was herself led to
believe tho truth, and gave up going to the Boor
Catholic. chapel. Tbe priest finding out this, went to
the husband—a land steward—gad told him that If his
wife and daughters continued going to their presehingt
and ached* "there should be OP many devils in his
house as there were rafters in the roof." He was
frightened, sad with hie moo, lading they would not give •
• op their sew faith,left his wife and daughters and three !
I other children for four years. The daughter had leaned to
do embossed embroidery in the sellool, and by Ohl I
work which was sold hi England and Scotland she earned
err 31. a week. That and • trifle earned by the
mother was all they had te live oci. Both mother and
daughter booms consumptive, sod one morning the
speaker went So the here and found the daughter had
died In the night, and the old woman lay in an &Oro. I
lag bed. She expressed herself satisfied that in • vary
*kart time she should rejoin her daughter. Referenes
was made to her separated boatload and son, arid she
said she believed they still loved them, but had been
driven from them by ecclesiastical tyranny which had
stamped out ths tenderest allsotioas. In the wares ci
that day the mother died, sad both were buried at the
seine time, He addressed the Urn eorspaoy sessintiled
at the grave, snowing from Scripture then was no '
Intermediate state, and that believers Immediately
alter death entered into beano. He rased • mu

afterwards leant that was the bnd. A day or two
after he went to the benne to as. bow the throe *Wider
were getting on, when he found the haslosed and moo
bad returned, and the father said he never intended
Irving them again. He went on to express his sorrow
that Lie wife end daughter had died without receiving
the last rites of the ohnroh. L dfoovntfon followed as
to the doctrines taught by the Romanian, the speaker
showing that the Church of Rome was not the first, but
that at Jerusalem, neither bad it superior authority ;
and be also detailed their dispute as to St. Peter being
the Wallop of Rome, and so on, the speaker saying it
wadi doubtful whether Si. Peter was ever at Rams at all.
This went on for several months. One Sunday mortar' I
father and eon came to his dolt Bible chat,
and told him they bad made up their minds
to go to mar rain, but to follow in the footsteps
of those who bad gate before. Se were that dear
woman's prayers answered, and they were brought to
Christ Lot this be an encouragement to all !allover@
having naesaverted relatives. In that part of the country
the Roman Catholics wen as 19 to 1 of the Protestanta;
and whenever • Ramenist tuned to Christ be invariably
lost his employment, through the power of the priest',
for they were more intolerant and relentless than the
Brahmins of radii Both lost their situations ; others
mild not be got for them, and at last they emigrated to
the Coiled States. He had had several letters from
them. Before they went the young man said he had •
Keret to tell him, and he asked do you remember me
meeting you on three occasions In a lonely part of the
road? He said ysa and that • peculiar thrill passed
through him each Ume. Well, said the young man, I
had determined to saradnateyou, to proved t you from
tampering with any other persons in this country,
but each time somebody eras no aid I was prenatal
doing it I told you that, he said, that you might know
of the power el the gran of Christ la changing ay
murderous heart; and also of the danger yes he,. been
In without kairring it. He said, of octane in that pert
of the country they weld not get large ongragationa,
and their first 'Wort was to get friendly with the
peooe, Waite( them In the snore and showing them
little kindnesses. He always carried with him a loopy
of the Donny Bible as well as of oar voodoo, so he
could convene with any an. who would about tlis
Scriptures they theineelne accepted and direr the
differscre Though as to the Protestant 'onion they
were told that Martin Luther when he translated It ate
• peck of salt with the devil! and so the work was
marred. The subject of purgatory was frequently dis-
cussed, and also the position of the Virgin Mary. One
man said, "If I wanted a favour from • gentleman
thould not I be more likely to get It 11 I scold get his
mother to intercede for me?' He met the
question by quoting paasages el fiaripture. This
man and his family ultimately became converted,
but disaster followed him. One night his house was
fired, end burnt to the ground, and his wife and family
and six children narrowly escaped with their line.
Government offered a reward of £lOO, but it bad not
yet been claimed, and that oedema over ten years ago.
He urged that goglaad sang bestir throssives on
