THR UNHoLY ALLIANCE The lecture Of
Mr. Dix on this subject to night will no doubt
draw full house. To give our readers IN
idea OF the subject Mf Dix proposes to dis
cuss, wa give the following extract FROM o
letter of bis addressed to a committee of gem
tiemsn WHO requested him to lecture at Newark,
New Jersey:
As regards the War in the East, which now
en- crosses toe attention Of mankind, far greater
Interests are concerned than tho balance of
power, or the ascendancy Of nation. The
toDor Of your note assures me that the people
Of Newark will hear with candor my reasons
for thinking that lat the independents and
integrity of the Ottoman Empire" ought net
to be longer sustained; but, that Christian
Sovereignty, with guarantees to residents from
Christian lands of either hemisphere, should
be at once restored to the domain Of the e rst
Christian Empire. and to the places made pre-
cious by the most holy memories Of he Chris
tian Faith.
All Christian people Of whatever name or
organization, must feel the same raptursus
interest in the recovery Of Jerusalem from tho
unholy and ignominiors usurpatiou, under
which il has languisbed 30 long. Even now,
whom tbs air is filed with the sullen whispers
Of the coming tornado, 1t becomes Chris,en-
dom to rejoice rather than to be terrified a:
whatever means the will Of God may appoint
to break forever the force Of Islam, to restore
to c Christian ule the Paradise Of Faith. to make
the city If Constantiss the joy of the East, and
the city of David the light Of the world.
