Ar. OuanDtfuD, . iitsbyttfldn HIS
sionsry to Brazil, told the congregation
assembled in one Of the New York Col
legiate churches the other day that there
were 10000. 900 Of people in that be-
nighted country "going to dAmnation."
We have been puzzled by this statement,
says the New York Herald, and have sat
in our easy chair. in front OF the dimly
burning and drowsy fire. pondering over
it for hours together. II the learned

dangerous nineties to its normal beat.
We are inclined to think that for some

it were matter OF indifference whether
this crowd of sinners went to perdition

take up contribution to send dozen,
or twenty, or q hundred missionaries
straight down to that region Of darkness;
and third. why in the name Of common
sense DR.. Chamberlin left the field that
was white to harvest in order to make a
speech about what he hadn't done.
These are problems which only church
people can solves II il pretty evident

eighteen years, say that he is the mai

State, says that he is a man of extraor

of an integrity above suspicion. The
Free Press says OF him
