with white wings but black wings Black
wings of conviction, bringing pardon to the
sinner. Black wings Of crucilixion over

republic. Black wings Of the Judgment
day, bringing resurrection to an entombed

white tents pitched for us by our muleteers
amid the ruins Of ancient Jericho, which
fell at the sound of poor music played ON
'ram's horn that ancient instrument
which, taken from he head of the leader Of
the flock of sheep, is perforated and pre-
pared to be fingered by the musical per
former and blown upon when pressed to
the lips. As in another sermon have
fully described that scene, will only say
that every day for seven days the ministers
