—ready not to assail the right. of others, but boLlly,
fearlessly to uphold the right. which God has given them

over me I was overpowered by the spectacle, and I was not
salaamed of my emotion, for r declare I saw from the eyes
of elderly men the team streaming for that God had put
such a spirit into the hearts of his people. It was witnessed
by many foreign ministers, and by the ambassador of

nemed inch a spectacle in his life. I told him 'lt is no
threat to your imperial master—far higher! We are not
menacing—our men stand here in defence of that which is
our own. We only say if you covet other men's goods
you covet them not to oar injury, but by the blessing of
