a small contribution placed in the hands

procession was formed, in which moved
camels, elephants, tigers, cattle and po-
lanquins of richly dressed people. Bands
of music sounded the wedding march.

An Interesting Colloquy.
in one of the cities for the first time in
my life I had an opportunity of talking
with n fnklr, or a Hindoo who has re-
pounced the world and lives on aims. He
set under a rough covering on a platform
of brick. lie was covered with the ashes
of the dead and was at the time rubbing
more of those ashes upon his arms and
legs. lie understood and spoke English.
I said to him, "How long have you been
«and here?" lie replied " ‘iftccn years."
“iinve those idols which i see powcrte
help or dcstmyl" flesaid: No; thcyonly
represent God There is but one God. "
Question—When people die, where do
they go to?
Apnea—That depends upon what they
have been doing. if they have been doing
grind, to heaven: if they have been doing
evil, to hell.
Q.--But do you not taillcve in the trans-
migration of souls, and that after death
we go into birds or animals of some sort?
A.-Yes. The last creature a man is
thinking of while dying is the one into
which he will go. if he is thinking of a
bird, he will go intoa bird. and if he is
thinking of a cow he will go into a cow.

soul goes to heaven or hell?

Americans and Englishmen come to
these tropical regions and find a mission-
arylivlng under-palms, and with diflmnt
styles of fruits on his table, and forget
that palms arehere as cheaper hickory or
pine in America, and rich fruits as cheap
as plain apples. They find here mission.

that 4 cents a day is good wages hero, and

for a coachman, a missionary can aiford
to ride. There have been missionariu who
have come to these hot climates resolving
to live as the natives live, and one or two
years have ilniaherl their work, their chief
use on missionary ground being that of
furnishing for a large funeral the chief
object of interest. So far from living in
idleness, no men on earth work sohsrd as
the missionaries new in the foreign field.
Against fearful odds, and with 8, 000, 000
of Christians opposed to 150,000,000 of
Bindoes, Mohammcdsns and other false
religions, these muslonarics are trying to
take India for God. Let the good people
of America and England and Scotland and
of all Christendom add 90% per cent to
their, appreciation of the ildelity and con-
secration of foreign missionaries. Far
away from home, in an exhausting cli-
mate and compelwd to send their children
to England, Smtieud or America so as to
escape the corrupt conversation and behav-
ior of the natives, these men and women
of God toll on until they drop into their
graves, but they will get their chic! appre-
ciation when their Work is over and the
day ll tron, or it will bewnn. No place in
brown will be too good for them. Some
of the ministers at home who live on
salaries of Moon or $6,000 a year, preach.

your pieces. not on the throes nearest
the King. They are reserved for the mis-
aionariesl"
(lane lee Glad-em.
Meanwhile let all Christendom bethrill-
ed with gladncss. About 85,000 converts
in indie every year under the Methodist
missions, and about 85,000 converts un-
der the Baptist missions, and about 75.-
OOOeonverte under all missions every year.
But, more than that, Christianity is un-
dermining heathenism. and not a city or
town or neighborhood of indie but direct-
ly or indirectly feelsthe influence. and the
day speeds on when Hindooism will go
down with a crash. There are whole vil-
lages which havegiven up their gods, and
where not an idol is left. The serldom of
womanhood in many places is being on
loosened, and the iron grip of caste b be-
ing relaxed. liuumn sacrifices haveceased,
and the lust spark of the funeral pyse on
which the widow must leap has been ex-
tinguiehed, and the Juggernaut, stopped,
now stands as a curiosity for travelers to
look at. All indie will be taken for Christ.
