Two PROFESSIONS saw in Ceylon within
one hour, the first led by Hindoo priest,
Il hugo pot Of flowers on his head, his face
disngurcd with holy lacorations and his
unwashed followers beating as many dis
cords from what are supposed to DO mu-
sical instruments Ms at one time can be in
duced to enter the human chr, The pro
ccssion halted at tho door of the huts Tho
occupants came out aud made obelsance
and presented small contributions. In re
turn therefor the priest sprinked ashes
upon the children who came forward, this
evidently a form Of bencdiction. Then tho
procession led on by the priest started
ugnin-mure noise, more ashes, more gen
Infection. However keen ones sense Of
tho ludicrous, he could find nothing TO ex-
cite even a smile IN tho movements OF such
procession-mcaningless, oppressive
squalid filthy, sad.
Returning to our carriage, we rode on
for few moments, md We came on an
other procession, kindly lady leading
groups Of native children, all clean, bright,
happy laughing They were a Christian
school ont for exercise. There seemed rs
much intelligence, refinement and hnpIi
moss in that regiment Of young CingalOso
as you would find in the ranks Of any
young ladies' seminary being ohapero1ed
on their afternoon walk through Central
park, New York, or Hyde park, London,
Tho Hindoo procession illustrated on a
smnll scale something Of what Hinduism
can do for the world The Christian process
sion illustrated on a small scale something
Of what Christianity can do for the world
But those two PROFESSIONS were only fFag-
inents OF two great PROFESSIONS ever march
ing across our world--tho procession blast
cd Of superstition and tho procession
blessed Of gospel light saw them in one
afternoon in Ceylon They arc to be seen
in all nations.
