Now to better advantage than ever before religious and secular enlightenment may go side by side, | and so the work be accomplished in short | time and more thoroughly. Starting with the facet that in Cuba and Porte Bico and the Philippine Islands at least three-fourths of the people can neither read nor write, what an opportunity for school and print. ing press! Within five years every man in those islands may be taught to read not only the Bible, but the Declaration of in- dependence and the Constitution of the United States snd the blography of George Washington and of Abraham Lioooln. It seems to me that the Government of the United States ought by vote of Con- | gress afford common schools and printing | presses to thase benighted regions.

But here is the specific fleld for religious concentration and de. velopment, This is not shimerieal or im- practical, I read this morning that the American Missionary Association of the Congregational Caurch has already begun the work at San Juan, Utuado and Albon- ito, and all denominations of Christians in six months will be fu those islandy fields, and we all need with our prayers and contributions to c¢heor them on to take for God and righteosusness those regions which our American navy has captured from Spanish perfidy. It has bean estimated that this Americo- Spanish war cost us $300,000 000, t wouid not cost half of that to proclaim and earry on and consummate a holy war that will rescue those archipelagoss from satanie domination. Who will volunteer? I beat the drum of a recruiting station, Who will enlist under the one sparred, biood striped banner of Immanuel? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines are stepping stones for our American Christiunity to cross over and take the round world for God, We neod a new evangelical alliance organized for this one purpose.

But that eondition of thiogs hes passed, The guns of our American navy have awakened those populations. They do not ask who wears, They have found out, They are now listening to what American eiviliza- tion and our Christian religion have to say on any subject, Now is the time, while their ears and eyes are wide open, to tell them of the resculog and salvable and in spiriting power of the Gospel of Jesus rist, the Baviour of the world, The steam printing press which secuinr educa- tion plants there way be used aad whl be used to print religions newspapers and tracts and sermons aod mighty discussions of questions tem 1 and sterani, The comfortable homes of those popu’s. tions, when tianized, standing sida by side with the raded huts of those who remalg pagans will be revolutionary for good, e Porto Rican and the Filipino will come out from this uncleapsd and low roofed and unin kennel and sav to bis neighbor of beautiful household, “Wh cannot I have thi “a have them And when he fads & gh sha Bitte, with eas on fam a personal ne exalted principle, and the church of God that the reetifion~ tion of all evil ard t! poses ho wil CE out, dive fa the Bivie, a ; aad in Jesus Christ His only begotten wn,” and who would march shoulder to shoulder in such a Gospel campaign.

Dut surely ho woe will come upon us or upon them if we Christianize them as we now have the opportunity of doing. The political tech. npisalities are nothing as compared with the importance of this movement, [ ime plore all political expansionists to sug. ment us in this work of moral and relig- fons expansion, for unless those islands are moralized and clovated in intelligence and habits we do not want them, and their annexation would be political damaation, On the other hand, I implore all anti. expansionists to take a band in the gos. elization of Caba, Porto Rieo and the Philippine Islands, The only way to pre pare them to take care of themselves is to give them the Ten Commandments that were published on Mount Sinai and jet them hear the groan of sacrifices that was breathed out on the heights of Golgotha, What they most want is the Gospel, the pure Gospel, the omnipotent Gospel, the Gospel that i heal the wounds of the body and freadiates the darkness of the mind and achieves the ransom of the soul, But on this platform the so called ex. papsionists and =o called anti-expansionists will yet stand side by side, Though I am not a prophet or the son of a Jobat, within five years, If this religio-educationai work Is properly attended to, there will be a Cuban republic, a Porto Rican républis and a Philippine republic, one of them on a iarge seale, but thed will all have their sohiools and printing presses and evangeli- onl churohes, thelr Presidents, their Senatos and House of Representatives, their Mayors and their constabularies, and ns der will be observed in their cities ax now reigns on Pennsylvania avenue, Washing. ton, or Broadway, New York.

Among the marvelous plants that the last century has made known none is more remarkable than the buge parasite Raftlesin, It derives its name from Sir Btamford Rifles, who, in 1818, was gov- ernor of Beneoleen, in Samatra, He wigs one time on a tour of the island, ae- companied by Lady Rafles, Dr. Armold and quite a party of Europeans and ihe tives. Sudaoaly they alighted upon n flower of prodigious size und repulsive oder more than a yard across, and weigh- ing fifteen pounds.
