No one can tell. Two men sent out to
find the whereabouts of the daughter
of Gen. Wheeler tracked Mana Sa-
hib during a weeks ride into
the wilderness, and they were told
that for awhile after the mutiny
Mana Sahib set mp Il little pomp in the
jungles. Among a few thousand Hin
docs and Mohammcdans he took for
himself the only two tents the neigh
bors had, while they lived in the rain
and mud. Mana Sahib. with one serv-
ant carrying an umbrella, would go
every day to battle. and people would
go n stare. For some reason, after
awhile he forsook even that small at
t%ention and disappeared among the ra-
vines of the H~imalayan mountains. He
took with him in his flight that which
he always took with him-a ruby of
vast value. lie wore it as some wear
an amulet. He wore il as some wear a
life-preserver. lie wore it on his bo-
~Som. The Hindoo priest told him as
long Is ne-WQre that ruby his fortunes
would be good, butboth the ruby and
the prince who ore it have vanished.
Much criticism has been made of Sir
Henry Haveloek and Sir Colin Camp
bell because of the discriminating
work they did with these Sepoys. In
deed, it vas awful. My escort, Mr..
Lee, has told me that he saw the Sepoys
fastened to the mouths of cannon. and
then the guns would fire, and for a few
moments there would be nothing but
smoke, and as the smoke began to lift
fragments of flesh would be found fy-
ing through the air. You may do your
own criticism. | mere express no
opinion. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that the mode of finally treating
the Sepoys broke the back of the mu-
tiny. The Hindoos found that the Euro.
peans could play at the same game
which the Asiatics had started. The
plot was organized for the murder of
all h Europeans and Americans in
India. Under it's knives and bludgeons
American Presbyterianism lost it's
glorious missionaries, Rev. MIR. and
Mrs. Campbell, Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Mac
Mullin, Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. johnson.
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman. The work
of slaughter had been begun in all di-
rections on an appalling scale. and the
commanders of the English army made
up their minds that this was the best
way to stop it. a mild and gentle war
with the Sepoys was an impossibility.
The ~nativesof India ever and anon have
demonstrated their cruelty.

where the natives of India in 1856 en-
acted that scene which no other people
on earth could have enacted. The

three prisoners. These natives of In

midsummer heat, the s~uffcation. the
trampling of II upon another, the
grooming and shrieking and begging

That night of June 20, 1856 passed, and
LIB corpseS were taken out.
During the mutiny of which have
been speaking, natives who had been
in the service of Europeans and well
treated by them, and with no cause Of
o~ffense, would ut the call of the mutt
neers and without any compunction
stab to death the fathers and mothers
of the household and dash out the
brains of the children. These natives
are at peace now, but give them a
chance and they will ~re-enact the
scenes of 1856 and 1857. They look
upon the English as c~onquerors and
themselves as conquered. The mutiny
of 1857 occurred because the
British government was too leni-
emit and put in places of trust,
and in command of forts. too many
of the natives. call upon England to
stop the present attempt to palliate
the natives by allowing them to hold

Now, my friends. go home, after
what have said, to see the beauties of
the Northumberland and Hindooism,
which many think it will be well to
have introduced into America; and to
dwell upon what natural evolution will
do where it has had it's ~unhindered
way for thousands of years. And to
think upon the wonders of martyrdom
for Christs sake; and to pray more
earnest prayers for the missionaries
and to contribute more largely for the
worlds evangelization, and to be more
assured than eve that the overthrow
of the idolatries of nations is such a
stupendous work that nothing but an
Omnipotent God through the Gospel
of Jesus Christ can ever achieve it,
