TAL-, MAGE'S ROUND THE WORLD SERIES. A. Vivid Story of the Famous Siege at Lucknow, India—Christian Character In Time of Distress and Danger—Have:look's Devotion and Courage. ' BROOKLYN, Nov. 25.—Rev. Dr.' Tal- mage today began his series of round the world sermon's through the press, the first subject selected being Lucknow, India. The text chosen was Deuteronomy xx, 19, , "When thou shalt besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an fiX against them." The asvfulast thing in war is besiege- ment, for to the work of deadly weapons It adds hunger and starvation and plague. Besiegemont is sometimes necessary, but my text connnends mercy even in that The fruit trees must be spared because they afford food for man. "Thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them." But in my recent jour- ney round the world I found at Lucknow, India, the remains of the most mereilees besiegements0 the ages, and I proceed to tell you that story for four great reasons —to show you what a horrid thing war is .and to make you all advocates for peace, to show you what genuine Christian char- acter is under bombardment, -to put la coronation on Christian courage and to show you how splendidly good people die. As our train glided into the dimly light- ed station I asked the guard, "Is this Lucknow?" and he answeeed, "Luck - now," at the pronunciation of whiCh proper name strong emotions rushed through body, mind and soul. The Siege of Lucknow. The word is a synonym of suffering, of cruelty, of heroism, of horror such as 'is suggested by hardly any other word. We have for 35 years been reading of the ago- nies there endured and the daring deeds there witnessed. It was my great desire to have some one who bad witnessed the scenes transacted In LucknoNvih 1857 con- duct Us over the place. We found just the man. HO was a young soldier at the time the greatest mutiny of the ages broke out, - and ho was put with others inside the residency, which was a cluster of buildings making a fortress in which the representa- tives of the English government lived, and which was to be the scene of an en- durance and a bombardment the story of which poetry and painting and history and secular and sacred eloquence have been trying to depict. Our escort not only had a good memory of what had happen- ed, but had talent enough to rehearse the tragedy. In the early part of 1857 all over India the natives were ready to break out in re- bellion against all foreigners and especial- ly against tho civil and military represent- atives of the English_ government. A half dozen causes are mentionedfor the feeling of discontent and insurrection that was evidenced throughoyt India. The most of these causes were lucre pretextt Greased cartridges were no doubt an ex- asperation. The grease ordered by the English government to be used on these cartridges was taken from cows and pigs, and grease to the Hindoos is unclean, and to bite these cartridges at the leacT\ ng of the guns would be an offense to th Hin- doo's religion. The leaders of the 'Endows said that these greased cartridges were only part of an attempt by the English government to make the natives give up their religion. .Hence unbounded indig- nation was aroused. . The Native Discontent. Another cause of the mutiny was that another largo province of India had been annexed to tho British empire, and thou- sands of officials in the employ of tho king of that province were thrown out of posi- tion, and they were all ready for trouble making, Another cause was said to bo the bad government exercised by some English officials in India. The simple fact was that the natives of India were a conquered race, and the English were the conquerors. For 100 years the British scepter had been waved over India, and the Indians wanted to break that scepter. There never had been any love or sympathy between the natives of India and the Europeans. There is none now. Before the time of the great mutiny the English government risked much power In the hands of the natives. Too many of them manned the forts. Too many of them were in governmental employ. And now the time had come for a wide out- break. The natives had fiersuaded them- selves that they could send the English government flying, and to accomplish it dagger and sword and firearms and muti- lation and slaughter must db their worst. It was evident in Lucknow that the na- tives were about to rise and put to death all the Europeans they could lay their hands on, and into the residency the Christian population of Lucknow hasten- ed for defense from the tigers in human form which were growling for their vic- tims. The occupants of the residency, or fort, were—military and noncombatants, men, women and children—in number about 1,692. I suggest in one sentence some of the chief woes to whichr they were subjected when I say that these people were in the residency five months without a single change of clothing, some of the time the heat at 120 and 130 degrees; the place black with flies and all a -squirm with ver- min; firing of the enemy upon them ceas- ing neither day nor night; the hospital crowded with the dying; smallpox, scur- vy, cholera adding their work to that of shot and shell; women brought up in all comfort and never having known want crowded and sacrificed in a cellar where nine children were born; less and less food; no water except that which was brought from a well under the enemy's fire, so that the water obtained was at the price of blood; the stench of the dead horses adding to the effluvia of corpses, and all waiting for the moment when the army of 60,000 shrieking Hindoo devils should break.in upon the garrison of the residency, now reduced by wounds and sickness and death to 076 -men, women knd children. - A Visit to the Residency. "Call me early," I said, "tomorrow morning and let us be at the residency be- fore tho dun betbmes too hot." At 7 o'clock in the morning' we left our hotel lii Lucknow, and I said to our obliging, gentlemanly escort, "Please take no along the road by which Havelock and Outrain came to the relief of the residency." That was the way we went. There was a sol- emn stillness as we approached the gate of the residency. Battered and torn is the masonry of the entrance, signature of shot and punctuation of cannon ball all up and down and everywhere. "Here tO the left," said our escort, "are the remains of a building the first floor of _ which in other days had been used B9 a banqueting hall, but then was used as a hospital. • At this part the amputations took place, and all such patients died. The heat wee so great and the food so: in- sisfficient that -the poor fellows could not recover from the loss of blood. They all died. Amputations/were performed with - ,out chloroform. All the anassthefics were exhausted. A fracture that in other cli- mates and under other circumstances • wawa nave come to easy oenval nee here proved fatal. I "Yonder was Dr. Fames hone,e who was the surgeon of the place and is now Queen Victoria's doctor. This upperroom was the officers' room, and Chore Sir Hen- ry Lawrence, our dear commando , was wounded. While he sat there a shell strucklhe room, and some one sug ested that he -had better leave the room, ut he smiled and said, 'Lightning never s rikes twice in the same place.' Hardly h d he said this when another shell tore off hie - thigh, and he was carried dying into pr. ' Fayrer's house on tho other side of the road. Sir Henry Lawrence had bents in poor health for a long time before t e mu- tiny. He hadheen in the Indian serv ce for years, and he had started for England to re- cover his health, but getting as far as Bom- bay the English government reques d him to remain at least awhile, for he cot id not be spared in such dangerous times. II came here to Luoknow and foreseeing th siege of this residency had tilled many if the rooms with grain, without which t • e resi- dency would have been obliged to s nen- dor. There wore also -taken by hin into this residency rice and sugar and tr arcoal and fodder for the oxen and hay f r the horses. But now, at the time w en all the people were looking to him 1 r wis- dom and courage, Sir Henry is dyi g." Our escort described the ec.ene— nique, tender, beautiful and overpowerin —and while I stood on the very spot where the sighs and_groans of the besieged and lacer- ated and broken' hearted' met the whiz of . bullets, and the demoniac hiss of blirsting shell, and the roar of -batteries, my escort gave inc the particulars. A Gjory to Christendom. 1 "As soon as Sir Henry was told that he had not many hours to live he asked the chaplain to administer to him the holy communion. He felt partioularly anxious for the safetyaof the women in the resi- dency,ho at any moment might be sub - F jected t the savages who howled around the resi dency, their breaking in \only a matter of time unless re-enforcemonts shonld come. He would frequently say to those who surrounded his death couch: 'Save the ladies. . God help the poor wom- en and children!' "He gave directions for the desperate defense of the place. He asked forgiveness of all those whom he might unintention- ally base neglected or offended. He left a message for all his friends. He forgot not to give direction for the care of his favorite horse. He charged the officers, saying: 'By no means surrender. Make no treaty or compromise with the despera- does. Die fighting.' He -took charge of the asylum ho had established for the chil- dren of soldiers. He gave directions for his burial, saying: `No nonsense, no fuss. Lot me be buried with the men.' Ho dic- tated his own epitaph, which I read above his tomb: 'Here lies Henry Law- rence, who tried to do his duty. May the Lord have mercy on his soul.' "He said, 'I would liko to have a pas- sage of Scripture added to the words on ray grave, such as, "To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we ha-ve rebelled against him." Isn't it from Daniel?' Soas brave a man as Eng- land or India ever saw expired. The sol- diers lifted the cover from his face and kissed him before they carried him out. The chaplain offered a prayer. Then they removed the great hero amid the rattling hail of the guns and put him_down among other soldiers buried at the same tirne." _ All of which .I state for the 'tone& el those who would have us - believe that the Christian religion is fit only for wonaen In the eighties and children under seven. There was glory enough in that departure to halo Christendom. ' "There," said our escort, "Bob the Nailer did the work." "Who was Bob the Nailer?" ' "Oh, he was the African who sat at that point, and when any one of our men ventured across the road he would drop him with arille ball. Bob was a sure marksman. The only way to get across, the road for water from the well was to wait until his gun flashed and then in- stantly cross before he had time to load. The only way we could get rid of him was by digging a mine under the house where he was hidden. When the house was blown up, Bob the Nailer went with I said to him, "Had you made up your minds what you and the other sufferers would do in case the fiends actually broke "Oh, yes!" said my escort. "We had It all Planned, for the probability was every .hour for nearly five months that they would break . in. You must remem- ber it was 1,600 against 60,00, and for the latter part of the Ulna it was 000 against 60,000, and the reside icy and the earthworks around it were not put up for such an attack. It was only from tho mercy of God that we were no massacred soon after tho besiogement. We were re-. solved not to allow ourselves o get into the hands of those desperadoes You must remember that we and all the women had heard of the butchery at C wnpur, and we knew what defeat meant. If unable to hold out any longer, we ould have blown ourselves up and all one out of life together." An Awful Prison. "Show me," I said, "the teems where the women and children aid during those awful months." Then we crossed over and went down into the cellar of the reside cy. With a shudder of horror indescriba le I entered the cellars where 622 women ,and children had been crowded until the whole floor was full. I know.the exact number, for I counted their names on the roll. As one of the ladies wrote in her diary, speak- ing of these women, she said, "They lay upon the floor fitting into each other like bits in a puzzle." Wives had obtained from their husbands the promise that the husbands whuld shoot them rather than let them fall into the hands of these des- peradoes. The women within the resi- dency were kept on the snaallest allow- ance that would maintain life. No oppor- tunity of privacy. The death angel and the birth angel touched wings as they passed. Plies, mosquitoes, vermin in full possestion of the place, and these women in momentary expectation that the enrag- ed savages would rush upon them in a violence of which club and sword and torch and throat cutting would be the milder forms. , Our escort told us again and again of the bravery of these women. They did not despair. They encouraged the soldiery. They waited on the wounded and dying In the hospital. They gave up their stock- ings for holders of the grapeshot. They solaced each other when their children died. When a husband or father fell, such prayers of sympathy were offered as only women can offer. They endured without complaint. They prepared their own chil- dren for burial. They were inspiration for the men who stood at their posts fight- ing till they dropped. Our escort told us that again and again news had come that Havelock and Outram were on the way to fetch these besieged ones out of their wretchedness. They had received a letter from Havelock roiled up in a quill and carried In the mouth of a disguised messenger—a letter telling them he was on the way—but the next news was that Havelock had been compelled to retreat. It was constant vacillation be- tween hope and despair. But one day they heard the guns of relief sounding nearer and nearer. Yet all the houses of Luck - now were -fortresses filled with armed miscreants, and every step of Havelock - eau int army was contemn—wing nem housetops, tiring , from windows, firing from doorways. . Sentiment and Poetry. . -I asked our friend if he thought that the world famous story of a Scotch lass lin her delirium hearing the Stretch 'bagpipes advancing with the Scotch reghnent was a true story. He said he did not know but that it was true. Without this man's telling me I know from my own observa- tion that delirium sometimes quickens some 0 the facilities, and I rather think the Scotch lass in her delirium was the first to hear.the bagpipes. I decline to be- lieve that class of people who would like to kilt all the poetry of the world and banish all the fine sentiment. They tell us that Whittler's poem about Barbara Freitchie was founded sin a delusion, and that Lotkgfellow 's poems immortalized things that never occurred. The Scotch lass did hear the slogan. I almost heard it myself as I stood inside the residency whit ' my escort told of the corning on of the Sev- enty-eighth highland regiment. "Were you present whou Havelock cam In?" I asked, for I could suppress the ques- tion no longer.- His answer came: "I was not at the moment present, bu with some other young fellosts I saw sol diors dancing while two highland pipers played, and I said, 'What is all this ex eitement about?' Then we came up an ' saw that Havelock was in, and Outran4 was in, and the regiments were poOrin "Show us where they came in," I ex claimed, for I knew that they did not en ter through the gate of the residene that being banked up inside to keep th murderers out. "Here it is," answered ray escort. "He It is—the embrasure through which the came." We walked up to the spot. It is now broken down pile of bricks a dozen yar s from the gate. Long grass now, but the a blood spattered, bullet scarred opening In the wall. , As we stood there, although the scene was 37 years ago, I saw then), conae ini- Havelock pale and sick, but triumphant, and ()arena, --whom all the equestrian 1, statues in Calcutta and Europe cannot too grandly present. After the Relief. "What then happened?" I said to in escort. "Oh!" he said, "that is impossible to tell. The earth was removed' from tie gate, and soon all the arnay of relief e tered, and seine of us laughed, and soijie cried, and some prayed, and some danc d. Highlanders so dust covered and enou 11 - bleed and wounds on their faces to ma e . them unrecOgnizable snatched the ba es out of their mothers' arms and kis ed thenn and passed the babies along for ot er soldierto kiss, and the wounded ren crawled out of the hospital to join in re cheering, and it WAS wild j abilee until he first excitement passed. The story of h w many of the advancing army hadben slain on the way began to, have teaijful effect, and the story of suffering that I ad been endured inside the fort and the n- nouncement to the children that they ssero fatherless and to wives that they Were widows samorged the shOhts of joy With _ ! wailing of agony. "But were you not embarrassed bY the arrival of Havelock and 1,400 men Who brought no food with them?" He ;an- swered: , "Of course we woreput on smaller ; ra- tions immediately in erder that they might share with us, but we knew 1hat the coming of this re -enforcement w uld help us to hold the phice until further re- lief should come. Had not this first relief arrived as it did in a day or two at Most and perhaps in any hour the besiegers would have broken in, and our end would have come. The sepoys had dug, six mines under the residency and would soon have exploded all." After we had obtained a few bullets that had been picked out of the wall and a piece of a bombshell we walked around the eloquent ruins and put our hands into the scars of the shattered masonry and explored the cemetery inside the fort, where hundreds of the dead soldiers await the coining of the Lord of Hosts at the last day, and_we could endure .no more. My nerves Wereall a -tremble, and my emo- tions were wrung out, and I said, "Let us go.". I had seen the residency at Lucknow the day before with a beloved missionary, and he told me many interesting ;facts: concerning the besiegement of that 'lace, but this morning I had seen it in cori pany with one who in that awful 1867 o the Indian mutiny with his own fire had fought the besiegers, and with his on ear had heard the yell of the miscreants as t they tried to storm the walls, and wi h his own eyes had witnessed a scene of pang and sacrifice and endurance and bereave- ment and prowess and rescue which has made all this Lucknow fortress and its surroundings the Mount Calvary Of the nineteenth century. 1 The Grave of Havelock.
