A Brahmin on Hindoeism.

One day writes Mr., Leupo!t,l I
was preaehing in the city of Be
pares. Tie large crowd was civil
aud attentive. At length Il sapoy
Ga Brahmiu) SAID: Look at these
men. and see what they az Q doingr'
"rhey are preaching TO US" the
people replied.
"True. What mas the sahib ia

"a New Testament
s'Yes; tho New Teetament. But
what is that p
II will tell you. This is the gos>
rel-axe into which Elr' p an
handle has been put. II you come
to day, you will find them cutting:
if you come to>mOrrow, you will
find them doing the same. Aud at
what are they cutting? AT our no
, ble tree OF liisdooism-at oar re-
ligion. 1t has taken thousands OF
years for the tree to take root In
tue soil Of Hindnstnu; its branches
spread all over India; it is noble
and glorious tree. But these mea
come daily with the gospel axe in
! their hands; they look at the tree
aud the tree at them, but it is help
less. The gcspel-axe is applied
daily, and although the tree is large
and strong it must give way at
last.
"True,'' 1 replied; shut many q
poor handle gets worn out, and
many a one breaks; and it takes q
long time till the new handle is
obtained from Europe ,anI till that
handle is prepared and shaped.
"Ah," be answered, ,"if that wera
all it would he sell enough ,and the
tree woula have respite; but what
is the READ case? Nc sooner does q
handle find it can no longer ewinG
the axe than i. says, "What am [
TO do HOW? l am getting worn on ;
| can no logger swing the axe; am
l to give up cutting? No. He walks
up to the uee, looks at it and sayt
"Hut here is fne branch out OF

"Up goes the axe, down comes
the branch /: the braEch is soon

tree will be cut down by handles

that the branches oIt Of which the

shall not be one drop of water
rising upward out OF the earth to

thus drained and deeply piowed,
they become filters, letting down.

appeared to good advantage. The chorus still
showed defects, which will probably be RENE
