t Cawnpur, and 2eO women and chill
lren had been put in a room. Then
dive professional butchers went in and
slew them. Then the bodies of the
slain were taken out and thrown into

showing that the poor things had
crouched when they died, and they saw
also that the floor was ankle deep in
blood. The soldiers walked on their
heels across It, lest their shoes be sub
merged of the carnage. And on that
floor Of blood there were flowing locks
of hair and fragments of dresses.
Out In Lucknow they had heard Of
the massacre, and the women were
waiting for the same awful death,
waiting amid anguish untold, waiting
in pain and starvation. but waiting he
rofcally, when. one day, Havelock and
Outram and Norman and Sir David
Baird and Feel, the heroes of the Eng

on that horrid scene, and while yet the
guns were sounding, and while cheers
were issuing from the starving, dying
people on the one side and from the
travel worn and powder blackened SOL
dlers on the other, right there, In front
Of the kings palace, there WAS such
scene Of handshaking and embracing
and boisterous JOY as would utterly
confound the pen Of the poet and the
pencil Of the painter. And no wonder,
when these emaciated women, who had
suffered so heroically for Christ's sake,
marched out from their incarceration,
one wounded English soldier got up In
his fatigue and wounds and leaned
against the wall and threw his cap I'D

an exciting scene. But n gladder and
more triumphant scene will 1t be when
you come up into heaven from the con-

streaming with the wounds of battle
and wan with hunger, and while the
hosts of COG are cheering their great
hosanna you will strike hands of con
graduation and eternal delivcrance in
the presence Of the throne. On that
night there will be bontires on every
