Journey to Persia.
(Continued from Kli-st Paire.
started, and I could not resist tho
temptatiou to uso my camera
agaiu. We were now standing on
deck taking our last glimpses of
America; and as tho boat passed
the "State of Liberty," we felt
especially its significance, realiz
ing that we were going to a coun
try which has no statue of liberty.
After the last speck of land had
faded from our view, we began to
look around us and to inquire who
our fellow passengers were. The
company of missionaries for Per
sia consisted of twelve persons,
fiveof vhom werePenusylvanians.
There were, also, on board two
missionaries of the United Pres
byterian church returning to In
dia. Cards bearing the names of tho
one hundred and twenty passen
gers on board were distributed.
There was nothing noteworthy
about this list of names, except
that the name "Smith" occurred
only twice.
We began our voyage in high
spirits, praising the beauty of the
day, the smoothness of the water,
the steadiness of the boat, and
our ability as sailors. We soou
realized that wo composed a little
world of our own, separated from
the noise and the news of the out
side world; and we sought to got
acquainted and to make our voy
age as pleasant as possible. Tho
following days were spout in con
versation, reading, music, or
games, according to tho tastes
and inclinations of the passengers.
The monotony of the ocean was
broken by the occasional sight of
a whale spouting water into the
air, or porpoises following the
boat in leap-frog fashion, or Hy
ing fish skimming the surface.
We, also, had the privilege of
viewing a storm at sea which gra
ciously kept at a comfortable dis
tance. At night the phosphores
cence was beautiful. It resem
bled innumerable tiny electric
lights floating about ujon the
surface of the water.
On the Tuesday moruing follow
ing our departure, I awoke with
an entirely new and indescribable
sensation which I was not long iu
diagnoscing as "sea-sickness." I
had purchased medicine for sea
sickness in New York, and had
taken it with fidelity, but I will
say for the beuetit of those who
may take a sea voyage that 1
learned from fellow passengers
that one can get just as- sea-sick
without the medicine, so you may
dispense with that luxury. I felt
like lying still; but that btiug
impossible under the circum
stances, I followed the advice of
kind aud experienced friends at
home and prepared to go on
deck. I arose with some degree
of uncerUiuity as to my inclima
tions, but suddenly rushed at tho
man ia tho opposite berth as
though ho were my best friend
whom I had not seen tor a de
cade. A sea voyage is helpful in bring
ing you into contact with human
ity. I discovered that all my
former confidence in my "sea
legs" had been misplaced, when
the boat gave a iitch or a roll, I
had learned to guide my foot
steps with some degree of ac
curacy; but when it pitched and
rolled at tho same time, I was
unablo to calculate which direc
tion I would go next. As soon as
I arrived on deck, I dropped into
a chair in ord?r to avoid showing
unintentional affection for any
other of my fellow passengers. I
cannot tell you what the bill of
faro for breakfast or lunchoon
was for I did not open my eyes
to see.
It may be pleasant to sing about
being "rocked ia the cradle of the
deep," but the actual experience
pfflucen a different sensation, I
could now appreciate tl'o charity
of our Hoard of I'Woigi.i Missions
iu allowing us a furlough only
once in eight years.

Wo arrived in London at noon j
Wednesday, Aug. and it was j
found necessary to remain there
until tho following Monday, so
we took advantage of this oppor
tunity for sightseeing. Wo re
ceived some idea of London at
night by taking au excursiou on
top of an omnibus to St. .lames
Park, and a similar trip to the
Loudon Bridge on another even
ing. Wo began our sightseeing
expeditious on Thursday after
noon by visiting Westminster
Abbey. Tho places of greatest
interest in that sepulchre of Eng
land's great men depends upon
tho inclinations of the .visitor. I
was interested especially iu the
tomb of David Livingstone, aud
paused long enough to road this
epitaph: "Brought by faithful
hands over land aud sea, here
rests David Livingstone, Mis
sionary, Traveler, Philanthropist,
Born, lVii, died, Is?:!. For thir
ty years his life was spout in un
wearied efforts to evangelize the
natives races, to explore the undis
covered secrets, to abolish the
desolating slave trade of Central
Africa whore his last words were:
"All I can add in my solitude is,
May Heaven's richest blessing
come down on;vory one Ameri
can, English or Turk who will
help to heal this open sore of tho
world."
Beautiful, also.was tho inscrip
tion on the tomb of Win. Wilber
force: "In au ago and country
fertile in great and good men, he
was among tho foremost of those;
who fixed the character f th"ir
times; because to high and var
ious talents, to warm benevolence
and to universal candour, he add
ed tho abiding eloquence of a
Christian life."
We lingered awhile at the "Lit
tle Pouts' Comer," for we feel
better acquainted with the great
literary mou from whom wo have
heard, than tho great statesmen
merely about whom wo have read.
Among tho tombs of statesmen
wo saw tho grave of Win. E. Glad
stone whoso burial wan tho hist
state fuueraL wince that of Pitt.
Then w i a -tsrd to the Koyal
Tombs where tlio English Sov-!
crcigns are crowded together.
One interesting object there was :

We had planned to go to Wind
sor on Saturday, but rain pre
vented, so wo visited the House
of Lords and saw the Queen's
throne, and on the right of it tho
seat of tho Prince of Wales. Our
guide told us that the IIouso of
Commons has only -17(5 seats, but
over liOO members.
In the afternoon, we visited tho
National Gallery of Art and tho
National Portrait Gallery, and
recognized the portraits of Wash
ington, Erauklin, and Benjamin
! West.

On Sunday morning, I attended
the City Temple Church of which
the Pev. Dr. Parker is Pastor.
1 h- was absent on a vacation, and
the liev. Mr. Davios preached an
excellent sermon on the Golden
Pule. In the evening, I heard
Dr. Buchanan of Canada preach
in a Presbyterian Church.
Monday morning, some of us
visited the Tower of London, and,
among many other things, saw
the English Pegalia among which
was the crown of Queen Victoria
which contains about twenty
seven hundred diamonds (I did
not count thorn) and many other
jewels, wo also saw tho spot
where Queen Aun Boleyn, Lady
Jane Grey, Lord Hastings, and
several others lost their heads.
That afternoon I mado my third
and successful attempt to see

'Confession of Faith" was pre
pared. r'imliuui'fl Next Week.
"10" is the most unfortunate
letter in the alphabet, because it
is never iii cash aud never out of
danger. The nforo mentioned
exchange forgetsthat "e" is never
in war but always iu peace. It is
tho beginning of existence, tho
commencement of ease and the
end of trouble. Without it there
would bo no broad, no moat, no
water, no gospel, no heaven.
Yes, aud it is tho end of lifo and
tho beginning of eternity, and
while we can got along without it
in Jiving wo cannot in death.

THE GREAT SPRUNG MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energlzer, Is the
! greatest SPRINQ MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from
heaven to the ' worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired
feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour
ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a maglo
spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring,
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For evjry form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, Insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, It Is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow Its faith
ful uso. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method In the good old' times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenlo and other mineral
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be .killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in Its circulation the specific germs of the
disease. But In this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru
lently the different structures of tho body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again It will bring de
cay and death to some vital organ, as'the kidneys, liver or stomach.' There is only one
scientif lo method for the cure of blood taint. That Is, PURI FICATION I Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, tho lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
vitallzer-of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA', not only radically and ex
haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood Is
the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov
ered. This fact Is now established beyond question or cavil.
