!
Psalms cXli., 7,
Though YOU may rcad this text from the
Bible, / rend it as cut by chl9el into the pc
destn OF n cross beneath which lie many OF
, the ma ssacred at Cawnpur Indln. TO show
! YOU what Hinhoolsm and MOhammedanism
really nrr, where they have full swing, and
not ms they represent themselves In Il
"parlinment CT religions and 10 demon
strate to what cxten, OF cruelty and abom-
| nation human nature may 80 when fully let

cess OF sin, and TO remind you how our

! over death an the grave, | preach this my
| second sermon in the round the world series,
and ! shall speak of "rhe City OF Blood" or

hardly wait until the horses were put to the
carriage, and Mr.. Lee. seated with u,
started for the scene, the story OF which
makes tame in contrast all Modoo and
