Empress and Crown ffinc9 Is demonstrates
in wnat they have already. done and are
doing for the sufferers IN thsir own country.
When / saw q few DAYS ago 10 the y tpsrs
that the Emperor and Empress hs | wa eel
through the wards OF the most vi ira ent

as 70 divert from that empire or
because OF international jsaioudes. Russia

the jea. ousies.
Before passing to the othsr asld Of my
summer observation I give you one little
specimen of the ~falsehoods about Russia 1
stood in London with my tick ,s for St
Petersburg, Russia, in my pocket. IL was
3 O'clock in the AFTERNOON, and At 9 o'clock
! was to take the train. An american
physiclan anne in and said, 'You Ger
sainly are NOT going to Russia" I said.
"Why notf' Then q morning paper was
shown me, ssying that 10 SC Pstsrsburg
there were two thousand cases OF viruiene
cholera; the city had been divided Into hos
pitsl districts, AMI ths doctors were at thsir
wits end what TO do vita the number OF
patisnts. Ths population was dying In tor
ror. 1t was almost as bad IN Moscow.
While renecung on these accounts two
messages arrived from other friends protest.
ing against the foolhardinexs OF my rushing
into the presence Of two thousand cases OF
ehoisra In one city. OF courss ! hailed ]

from st. Petersburg encoura gel me to 60. !
went. there was not a single case Of cholera
in st. Petersburg IT Moscow, and there WA
not a single case in either city until four
weeks after l left those cities.
/ must tell you o. a picture Of pathos and
moral power impressed ION my min |, %
that neither time nor eternity may effacs
1t. The snip Leo swung to the docks q few
miles below st. Petersburg loaded with
a ,ur from Ansrica. Toe sailors on board
huzzaed as they came to the wharf. From
ayacnt on wlicl ws hal descended the
river TO the Sea the prominent citizens Of
st. Petersburg disembarke1. The bank was
crowded by PROSPEROUS citizens, VINO stood
on the wharf, and back of them by poor
laoorers, VINO hal co ne down 70 offer their
services free OF all charge for the rsmova
OF the breadstufs from the ship TO
the imperial frsigat train that took tue -four
to the interior free OF charge While We
stood there the long freight train rumblsi
down to the docks the locomotive and each
car decorst ID with a flag American
dag and the Russian Gag alternating.
Though q nag to some eyes Is only .
floating rag, you ought to see how the
American flag looks five thousand miles from
home. It lolsei tnat day lks a section OF
heaven let down to cheer mortal vision.
Addresses OF welcome and responses were
made, an then tbs worx bsgan, the only
contest bsiug who should lift the
hardest and be most expe iitious. From
ship 70 rail train. From ra,i train to kneed-
ing board. From kneeding board to oven.
From oven to the white and quivsrIng lips
OF the dying. Upon all WAC, whetoer BY
contribution small or large, helpsi make
that scene possible may there come the bene-
diction of Hin who declared was hungry
ant We fed Me-"
But I must a so give q word OF report con-
csrnlug nv other errand-the preaching OF
the Gospel In Great Britain last sumner IL
was . tour l had for many years antici,
patsd. With the themes OF the Gospel l
confronted more people than ever before
in the same length Of time - multi.
rudes after muititudeS and beyond any
thing / can describe. The tnrongs in all
the cities were so great that they could b
controlled only by platoons OF police, %
that none should be hurt by the pressure
eacn service indoors followed by Q service
" = "S1b
by handsnakings to the last point Of Phya-
cal en- .urance.
In every CITY and town I had messages
poured into my ears or families in America
On. sons OF Scotcnmen, Engishmen. Welsh
men and Irish men, there are hearts on the
other side of the sea oeating in affection for
you and praying ter your present n
eternal welfare. By the memories
or the old Scotch xirx, where you
were bartizsd. and OF the Eng.
lsa fireside, by which you played, and OF
the Welsh hills and valleys among which
you roamsi, aud the old no mes on the banks
Of the Tweed md the Shannon and the
Clvde. / charge you be hoborable and true
and Christian. You have gooi ancestral
blood in your veins. Prove yourself worthy.
II seems 70 me that the Gospel Is MAKING
mighty strides over there.
What 10 the u.s OF controversy abont any
thing exceps now we snail keep close 70 the
cross and do the most FOR heloing people for
this world ana the nsxtf My there come
in England more c3rdiaiity between the
National cnurcn and the dissenters Al

COCO and ge1ial Archoislo1 OF Canterbury
at tteir head, and a more magnificent group
OF folks, intellectually and spiritually,
I never got among, and l found that though
We mad never met before toe archbishop
and myselt were old friends. But ali up and
down Great britain / found . multitude
that no man can nutnbsr enlisted Tor God
and eternity, and ! tel you the Kingdom 10
coming.
II the pessimists would get cat Of the
way-the people who snivot aud groan o
think everything has gone to the dogs orr
about to go-I say IL THESE pessimists would
only ret out OF tne way the world would
