meeting to be held In the New York
Hippodrome on March 81. A sum-
mary OF tcday's discourse of Pastor
Russell in the Y NJ c. A. Auditorium
Is as follows
I had great interest n your land
and Its people before coming to your
shores. but my interest has been
greatly Increased by what l have wit
messed during the past three weeks In
lndia-not only In your largest cities,
but also in your towns, villages and
agricultural districts. As there are no
other extremes In the world so great
as between the caps of your Him
alaya mountains and the wash Of your
coral strands. $4,000 feet below them,
so likewise there can be found ne
greater contrast socially and financial
" than between your wealthy princes
and your poverty stricken lower castles.

bic we have no remedy to suggest,
except the Divine one-the establish
ment Of Messiah's Kingdom

that sympathy is there, only waitin;
for the proper direction, which Mes
Siah's Kingdom will shortly give.
