NOW the samaritan has got the wounded
man on his feet, and with much tupgino
and lifting puts him on the beast. for it is
astonishing how strong the spirit of kind

small, but it was as much as ten dollars

GOOD MEN IN ALL CoMMUNIONs
AS on that December noon we sat under
the shadow of the tavern where this scene
OF mercy had occurred, and Just having
passed along the road where the tragedy
had happened, | could, as plainly as now
see the nearest man to this platform. see
that Bible story re-enacted, and | said
aloud to our group under the tent: Zone
drop of practical Christianity is worth
more than a templeful of ecclesiasticism,
and that good Samaritan had more religion
IN i've minutes than that minister and that
Levlte had in lifetime, and the most &C
cursed thing on earth is national preiu.

the lawyer flung at Christ, and which

Samaritan-'Wh is my neighbor?' is

! saw in London the vast procession
which one day last January moved to St.
Paul's cathedral at the burial of that Chris
tian hero Lord. Napier. The day after at
Hawarden, in conversation on various
themes, asked Mr.. Gladstone if he did not
think that many who were under the
shadow of false religions might not never
theless be at heart really Christian. Mr.
/ Gladstone replied: Yes; my old friend
/ Lord Napier, who was yesterday buried,
after he returned from his Abyssinian
campaign, visited us here at Hawarien
and walking in this park where we are
now walking he told me a very beauti-
full incident. He said: After the war
I in Africa was over we were on the
march, and we had soldier with broken
leg who was not strong enough to 90 along
with us, aud we did not dare to leave him
to be taken care of by savages, but we
| found we were compelled to leave him, and
we went into the house of woman who
was said to be very kind woman, though
/ of the race of savages, and we said Here
/ is a sick man, and if you will take care of
/ him till he gets well we will pay you very
largely" and then we offered her five times
/ that which would ordinarily be offered,
! hoping by the excess of pay to secure for
/ him great kindness The woman replied:
! 81 viii not takecare of him for the money
| you offer. do not want your money. But
| leave him here, and will take care of him
for the sake of the love of GOd."'" Mr..
| Gladstone turned to me and said, ''Dr.
/ Talmage, don't you think that though she
/ belonged to race of savages that was
pure religion?" And ! answered, 81 do;
