There is not a hospital or an asylum for the blind or a place for the curs of the insane ex cept in lands where christianty has in fluence. If you had trial in the country where in order to be save out side of your eight foot high wall yo'u must always have an armed guard with yon. If you had lived in a country where man disappear or are murdered at your doors with no notice taken of it you would know whnt it is worth to live in a land where life is pre cious and the rights and developenient of the individual of supreme impo'tane. I hear pupils say, they don t care much about religion, they don't pretend to be so verv good' and yet they vuh to this place where the h-wsof the land at e based on this very Christianity they pretend not care for. it seems to me they are no belter than tramps. A tramp will eat breakfast and pay nothing for it, he will take a coat he lias not earned or steal a ride on train and count himself lucky, but a self respecting man regrets the necessity for living on the charity of the public. I wish 1 could step aside and, as I heard one say a few days ago, bring be fore you in my place, the Cross-Scarred (Jhrisi. tor it is the Sacrifice there made that lies at the bottom of our Safe ty and privelege and success as a nation, and it will be the vital inll uence of that life and death before us as individuals that will decide as to whether you and I shall come for much or little true and in Eternity.
