cingo today ipepan hi3 Bcrics of round
tho world HTuom through tho press,
Iho firn Btiijcot solected being Luck
now, India. Tho tesi chosen was Don
teronomy xv, 10, "When thoa shnlt
besiego a city a long timo in making
war against It to tako it, thou shalt not
destroy tho troes thoroof by forcins an
.x against ti cm."
Tho awfulest thin in war is besiege
meut, for to tho work of deadly weapons
it adds hunger nnd starvation nnd
plague, Bosiegoment is sometimes noc
essary, but my text sommands mercy
oven in that Tho fruit trees must bo
spared because they afford food for man.
"Thou shalt not destroy the treos there
of by forcing an ax against thorn." But
in my recent journoy round tho world
I found at Lucknow, India, tho remains
of tho most merciless besiegement of
tho agos, and I proceed to tell you that
story for four great reasons to show
you what n horrid thing war is and to
make you all advocates for poace, to show
you what genuine Christian character
is under bombardment, to put a corona
tion on Christian courage, nnd to show
you how splendidly good peoplo dio.
As our train glided into tho dimly
lighted station I asked tho guard, "Is
this Luoknow?" nnd ho answered,
"Lucknow," at tho pronunciation of
Whioh proper name Btrong emotions

An Eyewitness.
Tho word is a synonym of suffering,
of cruelty, of heroism, of horror such as
is suggested by hardly any other word.
Wo havo for 85 years been reading of
tho agonies thore endured nnd tho dar
ing deeds thoro witnessed. It was my
great dosire to have some one who had
witnessod tho scenes transacted in Luok
now in 1857 conduct us over tho place.
Wo found just tho man. Ho was a young
soldier at tho timo tho greatest mutiny
of tho ages broko out, and ho was put
with others inside tho residency,, which
was a cluster of buildings making a
fortress in which tho representatives of
tho English government livod nnd
which was to be the scene of an endnr
anco and a bombardment tho story of
whioh pootry and painting and history
and secular and sacred oloquonco have
been trying to depict. Our escort not
only had a good moniory of what had
happened, but had talent enough to ro
hearso tho tragedy.
In tho early part of 1857 all over In
dia tho natives woro ready to break out
In rebellion against all foreigners nnd
espocally against tho civil and mili
tary representatives of tho English gov
ernment A half dozen causes aro mentioned
for tho feeling of discontent and insur
rection that was ovidonccd throughout
India. Tho most of thoso causes wcro
mero pretexts. Greased cartridges wero
no doubt an oxasperation. Tho greaso
ordorod by the English government to b
used on theso cartridges was taken frorr.
cows or pigs, and greaso to tho Hindoo
is unolean, and to bito thoso cartridges
at tho loading of tho guns would bo nn
offenso to tho Hindoo's religion. The
loaders of tho Hindoos said that theso
groased cartridges wero only part of nn
attempt by tho English government to
moke tho natives givo up thoir roligioii;
honco unbounded indignation was
aroused.
Another oauso of tho mutiny was that
another largo provinco of India had
been annexed to tbo British empire,
and thousands of officials in tho employ
of tho king of that province wcro thrown
out of position, and thoy wcro all ready
for trouble making.
Anothor causa was said to bo tho had
government oxorcisod by somo English
officials in India.
Tho simple fact was that tho natives
of India wero a conquered race, and tho
English wero tbo conquerors. For 100
vnnra tho British scoptor had boon wav
ed over India, and tho Indians wanted
to break that scepter. Thero never had
boon any lovo or sympathy between Iho
natives of India and tho Europeans.
Thoro is nono now.
Before tho timo of tho great mutiny
tho English govornmont risked much
powor in tho hands of tho natives. Too
many of them mannod the forts. Too
many of them woro in goverumcm.n
employ. And now tho timo had come
for a wide outbreak. Tho natives had
persuaded themselvos that they could
send tho English government flying,
and to accomplish it dagger and sword
and firearms and mutilation and slaugh
ter must do their worst
Horrors of the Sletre.
It was evident in Luoknow thut tho
natives wero about to riso and put to
death all tho Europeans they could lay
thoir hands on, and into tho residency
u riv,.?tlnn tvinnlntion of LucknOW
hastened for defense from tho tigers in
human form which wero growling for
thoir victims. Tbo occupants of tho resi
dency, or fort, were-military "d
combatants, men, women and children
in number about 1, 002.
I suggest in ono senteuco some of tno
chief woes to which they wero objected

Years ago tho astronomers calculated
that thero must ho a world hanging at
a certain point in tho heavens, and n
largo prizo was offered for some one
who could discover that world. The tel
escopes from the great observatories
wero pointed in vain, but a girl at Nan
tucket, Mass., fashioned a tolosoopo,
and looking through it discovered that
star and won tho prizo and tho admira
tion of all tho astronomical world, that
stood amazed at her genius. And so it
is often tho enso that grown peoplo can

beholds tho star of pardon, tho star oi

"Not many mighty men, not many wise
men, aro called, but God hath chosen
tho weak tuiugs of tho world to con

tho prattlo of littlo childron when thoy
are speaking about God and Christ and
heaven. You seo tho way your child is
pointing. Will you tako that pointing
or wait until, in tho wrench of some
awful bereavement, God shall lift that
child to another world, and then it will
beckon you upward? Will you tako the
pointing, or will you wait for tho book
oning? Blessed bo God that tho little
Hobrow captivo pointed in tho right di
rection. Blessed bo God for tho saving
ministry of Christian children.

"What!" says tho commander in chiof
of tho Syrian forces, his oyo kindling

swift and over clear, undor tho flicker
ing shadows of sycamore aud oloandor.
Aro not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of
Damascus, better than all tho waters of
Israol?"
I supposo Naaman felt very muoh as
Americans would feel if, by way of
medical prescription, somo ono should
tell us to go and wash in tho Danubo or
the Rhine, Wo would answer, "Are
not tho Connecticut and tho Hudson
just as good?" Or as an Englishman
would fool if ho woro told, by way of
medical prescription, ho must go and
wash in tho Mississippi or tho St Law
rence, Ho would cry out "Aro not the
Thames and tho Shannon just as woll?"
Tho faot was that haughty Naaman
needed to learn what overy Englishman
and every American noods to loarn
that when God tolls you to do a thing
you must go and do it whotheryou
understand the roason or not. Tako the
proscription, whothcr you liko it or not
Ono thing is certain. Unless haughty
Naaman does as Elisha commands him,
he will dio of his awful sickness. And
unless you do as Christ commands you
you will bo soizod upon by an everlast
ing wasting away. Ohoy nnd live; dis
obey and die. Thrilling, overarching,
undcrgirding, stupendous alternative!
A Dead rullure.
Well, General Naaman could not
stand tho tost Tho charioteer gives a
jerk to tho right lino until tho bit snaps
in tho horso's mouth, and tho whir of
tho wheels and tho flying of tho dust
show tho indignation of tho groat com
mondor. "He turnod nnd wont away in
a rago. " So pooplo now often got mad
at rollgion. They vituporato ngainst
ministers, against churches, against
Christian people. Ono would think from
their irato behavior that God had boon
studying how to annoy and exasperate
and demolish them. What has ho boon
doing? Only trying to cure thoir death
doallng loprosy. That is all. Yot thoy
Whip up thoir horses, they dig in tho
spurs, nnd they go away in a rago.
So, nftor all, it soems that this health
excursion of General Naaman is to be
a dead failure. That littlo Hebrow cap
tive might ns woll havo not told him of
tho prophet, and this long journoy
might us well not havo boeu taken.
Poor, siok, dying Naaman! Are you go
ing away in high dudgeon nnd worso
than when you came? As his chariot
halts a moment his servants clamber
ud in it aud coax him to do ns Elisha
said. Thoy say: "It's eusy. Ifthoproph

It is easy. Come, my lord, just get down

Como, my lord, just try this Jordanlo
bath." "Well," ho says, "to pleoso
yon I will do as you say. " The rotinuo
drivo to tho brink of tho Jordan. Tho
horses paw nnd neigh to gut into tho
stream themselves and cool their hot
flanks. General Naaman, assisted by
his attendants, gets down out of bis
chariot and painfully comes to tho brink
of tho river and uteps in until tho wator
comes to tho anklo and goos on deeper
until tho water comes to the girdlo, and
now standing no far down In tbo stream
just a little inclination of tho head will
thorough ly immcrso him. Ho bows onoo
into tho flood nud comes up and shakes
tbo wator ont of nostril and oye, and
his attendants look nt him and say,
"Why, general, how u.ueh better you
do look!" And ho bows a second time
into tho flood end pomes up, and tb
wild store is gouo.out of hi ,ey, Be
bows tho third timo into tho flood and
comes up, nnd tho shriveled flesh has
got smooth again. Ho bows tbo fourth
timo into tbo Hood and comes up, and tho

bows the fifth timo into tho flood and

"Why," ho says, "I am almost woll
but I will mako a complete cure," and
bo bows tbo soventh timo into tho flood,
raid ho comes up, and not so much as a
fester or a scale or an eruption ns big as
tho head of a pin is to bo seen on him.
nil Wonderful Cure.
He steps out on tho bank and says, ' 'Is
it possiblo?" And tho attendants look
and say, "Is it possiblo?" Aud as with

Tlie True Itemed?.
Now, my henrc-rx, you know that this
General Naaman did two things In or
dor to get well. Tho first was, ho got
out of his chariot. Ho might havo staid
thoro with his swollen foot on tho stuff
ed nttoninu, Foatid on that cmbroiderod
cnhcn, until his last gasp, ho would
nevor havo got any rolict Ho had to
get down out cf his chariot And you
havo got to gut down out of tho chariot
of your prido if you ovcrbocomo a Chris
tian. You cannot drivo up to tho cross
with n coach and four and bo savod
among all tho ppanglos. You seem to
think that tho Lord is going to be com
plimented by your coming. Ob, no, yon
poor, niiscrablo, scaly, loprous sinner,
got down out of thnt Wo oil como in
tho satuo haughty way. Wo oxpoot to
rido into tho kingdom of God. Nevor
until wo got down on our knoes will wo
find inoroy. Tho Lord has unhorsed us,
uncharioted ns. Get down out of your
pride. Got down out o your self right
eousness and your hyporcriticlsm. Wo
havo all got to do that That is tho
journoy wo linvo to mako on our knees.
It is our infornal prido that keeps us
from (totting rid of tho loprosy of sin.
Dear Lord, what havo wo to bo proud
of? Frond of our scales? Proud of our
unaloauuoss? Proud of this killing in
fection? Bring us down nt thy foot
weeping, praying, penitent, bolioving
suppliants.
For tinners. Lord, thou cam'st to bleoJ,
And I'm a slnnor vile lndood.
Lord, I brllovo thy grace la free.
Oh, magnify that grace in me.
But ho had not only to got down out
of his chariot Ho had to wash. "Oh, "
you say, "I am very careful with my
ablutions. Every day I piungo into n
bright and beautiful bath." Ah, my
hearer, thoro is a flood brighter than any
that pour3 from thoso hills. It is tho
flood (bat breaks from tbo granito of
tho etornal hills. It is tbo flood of par
don and penco and lifo and heaven. That
flood started in tho toars of Christ and
tho swoat of Gothsemano and rollod on,
accumulating flood, until all earth and
hoaven could batho in it Zochariali
called it tho "fountain opon for sin and
unolonuucss. " William Cowper callod it
tho "fountain filled with blood." Your
fathers and mothers washod all their
sins and sorrows away in that fountain,
Ob, my hearers, do you not feel like
wading into it? Wado down now into
this glorious flood, dcopcr, doepor, doop
orl Pluugo once, twice, thrice, four
times, fivo times, six tlmos, sovcu times,
It will tako asmuchasthat to euro your

Namn' Cure.
I supposo that was a great timo at
Damascus whon Genoral Naaman got
back. Tho ehariotocrs did not hayo to
drivo slowly any longer, lest thoy jolt
tho invalid, but as tho horses dashed
through tbo streets of Damascus I think
tho peoplo rushed out to hall book their
chieftain. Naaman's wifo hardly recog
nized her husband. Ho was so wonder
fully changed sho had to look at him
two or throo times boforo sho made out
that it was her restored husband. And
tho littlo captivo maid, sho rushod out,
clapping her lu.m'.u aud shouting; "Did
bo euro you? Did ho euro you?" Then
musio woko up the pulace, and tho tap
estry of tbo windows was drawn away,
that tho inultitudo ontsido might rain
glo with tho princely mirth inside, aud
tho feet went up aud down in tho danco,
and all tho streets of Damascus that
night echoed aud ro-echoed with tho
news: "Naaman's cured! Naaman's
cured I" Bnt a gladder timo than that
it would bo if your soul should got oar
ed of its leprosy, Tho swiftest whito
hones hitched to tho King's chartat
would rush tho news into tho eternal
city. Our loved cues befom the throno
would wclcomo tho glad tidings. Your
children on earth, with more emotion
than tho littlo Hebrow captive, would
notice (ho cbango iu your look and tho
change in your wanner aud would put
their arms artuud your neck nnd syi
"Mother, I guess you must bave be
come a Christian. Father, I think yon
have got rid of the leprosy." OLiord
