Virtue is an angel; but she is blind one,
and must ask of knowledge to show her the
pathway that leads to her goal. Mere knowl-

that now not contented with driving the Saliva
tionists out of the country, the authorities are
making themselves obnoxious by attacking all
who are suspected of having any sympathy with
them and by interfering with prayer meetings,
temperance meetings and all such. The people,
in consequence, have been thoroughly aroused
and League of Common Right has been form
ed at Lausanne for the purpose of removing all
restrictions to the free exercise OF religion and
of securing to all citizens the free exercise of
their religion. The authorities have already
been approached on the subject, and it is believ
ed that such changes will be made in the laws
that persecution for religions sake will be i'm
possible on Swiss territory.
Ram Chandra Bose is a converted Hindoo,
who was educated in Calcutta, in the college
which enjoyed fer so many years the superin-
tendence of the late DR. Duff. Mr. Bose, who is
new or was lately in this country. having been
sent from India as a delegate to the Methodist
Episcopal Conference, is man of high culture
an able writer and an eloquent and powerful
speaker. In his native India he is man Of
mark, and among his own countrymen he is do
ing good work, by an intelligent presentation |
to them of the doctrines of the Christian relig-
ion. Mr. Bose occupies very different position |
to that occupied by the late Bahia Chestnut |
Chunder Sen, and by his eloquent disciple Ma |
zoondar, who stirred the hearts OF our people by |
his elOquence some months ago; and he evil
IDENTIFY feels it to belong to his dutyto point out
10 his countrymen what it is that constitutes |!
the difference between the BRAINS Somaj and |
Christianity and why it is that the Christian
cannot hold out the hand of fellow |
ship to the adherents of the former creed. He |
has lectured extensively on the subject in India
both in Urdu and English, and written upon it
both in native and foreign reviews. These lee
lures and papers he has collected and arranged
In such way as to give us not only an exposi-
