Saladin in Jerusalem, hearing of the
sickness of King Richard. his chief en-
envy, sends him his own physician, and
from the walls of Jerusalem-seeing
King Richard afoot, sends him q horse.
With all the world looking on, the
armies of Europe come within sight of
Jerusalem. At the first glimpse of the
CITY they fall on their faces in reverence
and then lift anthems of praise. Feuds
and hatred among themselves were given
up. and Raymond and Tsnered, the
bitterest rivals, embraced while the
armies looked on. Then the battering-
rams rolled aud the catapults swung,
and the swords thrust, and the carnage
ragged. Godfrey of Bouillon is the first
to mount the wall, and the Crusaders

Another crusade is needed TO start for
Jerusalem, q crusade in this nineteenth
century greater than oil those OF the past
centuries put together. A crusade in

and in its temple, greater than all the
earthly temples piled in one, may we
worship. Russian pilgrims lined all the
roads around the Jerusalem we visited
last winter. They had walked hundreds
of miles, and their feet bled on the way
to Jerusalem. Many of them had spent
their last farthing to get there, and they
had left some of those who started with
them, dying or dead by the roadside.
An aged woman exhausted with the long
way, begged her fellow pilgrims not TO
let her die until she had seen the Holy
City. AS she came TO the gate of the
city she could not take another step. but
she was carried in. and then said, NOW
