In niy text India takes its place la Bible geography, and the interest in that land has continued to increase until with more and more • enthusiasna all around the world Bishop Heber's hyran about "India's coral strand" is being sung.

Its configuration is such as no one but God could have architected, and it seems as if a man who him' no religion going there would be obliged to acknowledge a God, as did the cowboy in Colorado. His companion, an atheist, had about persuaded the cow- boy that there was no God, but coming amid some of that tremendous scenery of high rocks and awful chasms, and depths dug under depths, and mountains piled on mountains, the cowboy said to his atheistic companion, ".Tack, if there is no God,- I guess from the looks of things around here there natist have been a God some time." No one but the Omniscient could have planned India,' and no one but the Omnipotent could have built it. It is a great triangle, its base the Him- alayas, a -word meaning "the dwelling place of snows," those inciontains pouring out of their crystal cup the Indus, the Brahmaputra and the Ganges to slake the thirst of the vast populations of India. That country is the home of 240,000,000 souls. Whatever be one's taste, going there his taste in'gratilled. Some go as hunters of great game, and there is no end to their entertainment.

You cannot see the tiger's natural ferocity after he hasbeen humiliated by a voyage across the sea. You need to hear his growl as he presses his iron paw against the cage in Calcutta. Thirteen towns have been abandoned as residenoe because of the work of this cruel invader. In India, in the year 1877, 819 people were slain by the tiger and 10,000 cattle destroyed. From the back of the elephant or from galleries built among the tams 1,500 tigers went down and $18,000 of government reward was paid the.sports- men.

The Baptist missionary Carey, who did infinite good to India, had two great passions-411ot, a passion for souls, and, next, a passion for flowers -and he adorned his Asiatic home and the Ameri- can homes of h40 friends and museums on either side the Elea with the results of his floral expeditions in India.

No food, the vitals gnaw upon themselves, and faintness and languor and pangs from head to foot, and horror aild despair and insanity take full possession.

Oh, it is hard to be hungry in a world where there are enough grain and fruit and meat V) ' fill all the hungry mouths on the planet! But, alas, that the sufferer and the supply cannot be brought together. There stands India to- day. Look at her. Her face dusky from • the hot suns of many centuries. Under her turban such aching of brow as only a dying nation feels; her eyes hollow with unutterable woe; the tears rolling down • ha sunken oheek; her back bent with Mare agonies than she knows how to carry; her ovens containing nothing but ashes. Gaunt, ghastly, wasted, the dew of death upon her forehead and a paller such as the last hour brings, she stretches forth her trembling hand toward US and - with hoarse whisper she says: "I am dying! Give me bread! That is what I want! Bread! Give it to me quick. Give it to me now. Bread,. bread, bread!" America has heard the ery. Many thousands; Of dollars have already been contributed. One ship ladenewith bread - stuffs has sailed from San Iiikancisco for - India. - Our senate and house of repro- .sentatives in a bill signed by our sym- pathetio president have authorized the secretary of the navy to charter a vessel to carry food to the famine sufferers, and you may help fill that ship. We want to send at least 600,000 bushels of corn. • That will save the lives of at least 600,- 000 people. Many will respond An eontri- • butions of money, and the barns and corncribs Of the entire United States will pour fopth their treasures of food. When that ship is laden till it can °arty no more, we will ask him who holds the winds in his flst and plants his trium- phant foot on stormy waves to let noth- ing but good happen to the ship till it anchors in Bengal or . Arabian waters. They W.44:) help by contributions of money or breadstuffs toward filling that relief ship will fia,vor theihown food for their lifetime with appetizing qualities and Insure their own welfare through the prothise of him who said, "Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble." Something to Eat. • Oh, what a relief ship that will be! It shall not turn a screw nor hoist- a sail until we have had something to do with its cargo. Just j.7 years ago from these Easter times a ship on similar errand went out from New York harbor -the old war filth Constellation. e. It had once carried- ons of death, but there was famine in.Iteland, , and the Constellation was loaded, with 600 tons of food. That ship,. once covered with smoke of battle, then covered with Easter hosannas! That ship, constructed to battle England, go- ing forth over the waters to carry relief • to some of her starving subjects. Better than sword into plowshare, better than spear into pruning hook, Was that old war frigate turned into a white winged angel of resurrection to roll away the stone from the naouth of Ireland's sepul- cher. On like errand five years ago the ship Leo put out with many tons of food for • famine struck Russia. One Saturday, afternoon, .on the deck of that steamer as she lay at Brooklyn wharf, -a wondrous scene took place. A committee of the King's Daughters bad decorated the ship with streamers and bunting. American. and Russian, flags intertwining. • Thou- sands of people on the wharfs and on the decks joined us in invoking God's bless- ing on the cargo,' and the long meter Doxology in "-Old Hundred" sounded grandly up atoid the masts and ratlines. Having had the joy of seeing that ship thus consecrated we had the additibnal joy of standing on the docks at St. .Petersburg when the planks of the relief ship were thrown out and the representa- tives of the municipalities and of royalty `Went aboard her, the long freight train atkthe same time rolling down to take the food to the starving, and on alternate cars of that train American and Russian flags floating. But now the hanger in India is mightier than any that Ireland or Russia ever suffered.- Quicker - ought to be the response and on so vast a scale that the one ship would become a whole • flotilla -New York sending one, Boston another, Philadelphia another, Charles- ton another, New Orleans another. Then let them all meet in some harbor of In- dia. What a peroration of mercy for the nineteenth. century! I would like to stand on the wharf at Calcutta or Bombay and see such a fleet come in. , With what joy it weuld be welcomed! The emaciated, would lift their heads on shriveled hands and elbows and with thin lips ask. "Is it coming -something to eat?" And whole villages and towns, too weak to walk, would crawl out on hands and knees to get the first grain of corn they could reach and put it th their banished • lips. May I cry but for you and for others to those sufferers: "Wait a little longer, bear up a little more, 0 dying men of Indial. Relief is on the way, and more relief will wen be coming.

Another obstacle has been the law of caste, but in what.better way {gm we teat& them the brotherhood of loan? An- other huge difficulty in the way Of Christianizing Asia has been that those • people thought the religion we would have them take was no better thate their Hindoolsm or Mehammedieuism,Init they will now see by thie oeusade for the re- lief of people 14,090 miles awe, theht-the Christian religiton 40 ot a higher, better and grander type than any other religion, for wheel did the followers of Brahma, or Vishnu, or Buddha, or ConfuciuS, or Mohammed ewer denionstrate like inter- est in people on the opposite side of the world? Having taken the bread of this lffee from our bands, they will be more apt to take from us the bread of egbraal life. The missionaries of different de- nominations in India at 46 stations ane already distributing relief sent through The Christian Herald. Is it not plain . that those missionaries, after feertiug the hunger of the lxxiy, will be at bett& ad-. E vantage to feed the hunger of the soul? When Christ, before preaching to the 5,000 in the wilderness broke for them the miraculous loaves, he indicated that the best way.to prepare the world for spiritual and eternal considerations is firsttto look lifter their temporal inter- ests.?

Divine Circle. ' et-hd now I bethink myself of some- thing I never thought ofT before. I had noticed that th.e circle is God's favorite figure, and upon that subject I addressed you some time ago, but it did not. menr to me until now that the gospel seems to be moving th a circle. It started in Asia, Bethlehem, an Adatio village; Jordan, an Aslatio river; Calvary, an Asiatic Mountain. Then this gospel movedon to Europe; witness the chapels and churches and cathedrals and Christ - Jan universities of that continent. Then it crossed to America. It bas prayed and preached and sung its way . across our continent. It has crossed to Asia, taking the Sandwich 'Islands in its way, and now in all the great cities on the mast of China people are singing "Rook of Ages" and "There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood," for you must know that not only have the Scriptures been trans- lated into those Asistio tongues, but also the evangelical hymns. ' My missionary brother John translated some of them into Chinese, and Mr. Gladstone gave me a copy of the hymn, "Jesus, Lover 'of My Soul," which he bad himself translated into Greek. The Christ who It seems spent 16 or 18 . years of his life in India is there now in spirit, convereing and saving the people by the hundreds of thousands, and- the gospel will move right on through Asia until the stoey of the Saviour's birth will anew be nia,de known in Bethlehem, and the story of a Saviotir's sacrifice be told anew on and around Mount Calvary, and the story of a Saviour's ascension be told anew- on the shoulder of Mount Olivet. And then do you ii t see the circle will be complete? The g orioles circle, the cir- cle of the earth. T is old planet, gashed with earthquake and scorched with con- flagration and torn with revolutions, will be girdled -ivith churches, with schools, with universities, with millennial festivi- ties. How cheering and how inspiring the thought that we are, whether giving temporal or spiritual relief, working on the segment of such a circle, and that the Christly miesion which started in' Asia will keep 'on its way until it goes clear around to the place • where it started. Then the earth will have demon- strated that for which it was created, and as soon as a world has completed its mission it dies. Part of the heavens is a cemetery' of -dead worlds. Our world, built to. demonstrate to the worlds which 'have been loyalito God the•awful results of disloyalty, so that none of them may ever attempt it -I say our world,* having finished its mission, may then go out of existence. The central fires of the ehorld which are burning out rapidly toward the crust imey have reached the surface by that time and the Bible prophecy be fulfilled, which declares that the earth and all things that are therein' -shall be burned up: The ransomed human race at that time on earth will start unhurt in those chariots of ilre for the great me- tropolis of the universe, the heaven, where ' the redeemed of the Lord shall talk over the famines, and the plagueS; and the wars which this earth suffered and 'against which we struggled and prayed as long as there was any breath in us. Glorious consummation! Christian Generosity. May 10, 1869, was a memorable day, for then was laid the last tie, that con- nected the two rail tracks which united • the Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. The Central Pacific rtillroad was built from California eastward. Thelinien Pacific, railroad was uilt Westward. • They were within arm's reach of meeting, only 01U3 more piece of the rail track to put down. A great audience assembled, mid-oonti- nenatosee the last tie laid. The locomo- tives Of the •eastern and western trains stood panting on the tracks dose , by. Oration explained the occasion, and prayer solemnized it and music enchanted it. The tie was made of polished laurel wood,bound with silver bands, and three spikes were used -a gold spike, presented • by California; a silver spike, presented by Nevada, and an iron spike, presented by Arizona. When, all heads uncovered and all hearts thrilling with emotion,the hammer struck the last spike into its place, the cannon boomed it amid the re- sounding mountain echoes and the tele- • graphic instruments °Riled to all ea-. tions that the deed was Mine. My friends, if the laying of tholast tie that bound the east and the west of one continent together was 'inch a resounding occasion, what will it be when the last tie of the track of gospel influences, reaching clear round the world, shall be laid amid the anthems of all nations? The spikes will be the golden and silver spikes fashioned out of the Christian generosity of the hemisphere. The last hammer strike that completes the work will be heard by all the raptured and piled up galleries of the univente, and the mountains of earth will shout to the thrones of heaven: "Halle1u4 For the- Lord God omnipotent reigneth. liallelaiah!
