! you to pull your boat back inch by
| inch, with the bow driving into the
seething and pounding waves? Have
you ever seen two monstrous engines,
| with long train Of freight cars be-
| tween Them pulling and pushing up
| some steep grade in the mountains with
| their great groans echoing and re-echo-
| ing up through the distant valley?
| "Agonize to enter in at the straight
| gate." II am come to send fire on
earth, and what will l if it be already
| kindled?" Who can forget the scene if
! he has once beheld it, of the awful red
monster, moving nightly through the
| heart of a great city, reducing huge
| buildings to cinders, cracking the glass
with his hot breath, and warping the
| iron beams with his powerful arms; or
| sweeping with fleet foot over a western
| prairie, with a wild stampede of men
| and women and cattle seeking some
place Of shelter from the pitiless power
of his lurid battalions; or creeping
slowly and irresistably through the
| dense forest up the side of 4 mountain,
turning the fairest scenes of nature into
black desolation, and even sending his
messengers under ground to the very
ends of the roots? II am come to send
fire on earth"

dragging a monstrous achievement
through a crowd of admiring epecta-
tors; but when the trail begins to get a
little fresh, and there Is some prospect
that they may have to grapple in life
and death struggle with real live diff
Guilty, they suddenly grow weary of the
chase, They are perfectly charmed
presenting to the British parliament his
bill for the abolition of the slave trade;
defended it year after year with all the
energy and ability and passion of
great and faithful soul; was not daunt-
ed by the opposition of the whole West
Indian interest, and the power Of the
royal influence; and for forty-two
years, until the very day of his death,
kept fighting the iniquitous system to
the very last ditch. But if, when the
dream is over, they are called upon to
take hold of some task for the Master,
not in distant London, but in nearby
New Haven not on the theater Of the
imagination, but on the solid field of
fact, they begin to find that the trail is
getting too mighty fresh" They will
sit and listen with eyes like stars, while
