irate was tlown Into fragments, and the
bodies) of soma of these heroes wers so
scattered they were nsver (ratherM for fan

army rushed In through tbe broken gate,
and althongb sis days of hard lighting were
necessary before the city was Jin complete
possession the crisis was past. The Cash
mere gate open, the capture ot Delhi nnd
all It contained of palace and mosque and
treasure was possible.
Lord Napier, ot MagJals, ot whom Mr.
Gladstone spoke to me so affectionately
when I wa his gut at Hawarden, England,
has lifted a monument near this Cashmere
gate, with the name of tbe men who there
fell Inscribed thereon. That English lord,
who had sen courage on many a battlefield,
visited this Cashmere gate and felt that tbe
mn who opened It with th loss of
their own 'lives ought to be commemo
rated, and hence this cenotaph, Dut, after
all, the best monument Is the gate Itself,
with tbe deep gouges In the brick wall on
the left side made My two bombshells, and
the wall above torn by ten twmbehells, and
the wall on the right side defaced and
craped and plowed and gulllod by all styles
of long reaching weaponry. Let the wonts
"Cashmere gate," as a synonym for pat
riotism and fearlessness nnd self sacrifice,
go Into all history, all art. all litera
ture, all time, all eternity ! My friends,
that kind of courage sanctified will yot take
the whole earth for Oo I . Indeed, tho mis
sionaries now at Delhi, toiling amid heathen
Ism nnd fever and cholera, and far away
from home and comfort, and staying there
until they drop Into their grnves, are Just as
brave In taking Ddhl for Christ as wero
Nicholson nnd Horn" and Carmlchael In tak
ing Delhi for Great Urltain. T ike tills tor
the first sermonle lesson.
Another thing you must sen If you go to
Delhi, though you eav) many things un
seen. Is the palace of the moguls. It Is an
InclosurelOOOynr Is by 500. You enter through
a vaulted hall nearly 400 loet long. Floors
of Florentine mosaic, and walls onen em
ernlded and sapphlrnd and carbuncle 1 ant
diamonded. I said to the guide, "Show us
where once stood the peacock throne."
"Hero It was," he responded. All the
thrones of the earth put together would
not equal thnt for costliness and brilliance.
It bad steps of silver, and the seat and arms
wete of solid gold. It cost about 130,000,
000. It stood between two peacocks, the
foul hers and plumnsot which were fashioned
out of colors 1 stones. Above tho throne
was a life site parrot cut out ot one em
erald. Above all was a canopy resting on
twelve columns of gold, the canopy fringed
with pearls. Heated here, the emperor
on publlo occnslous wore a crown con
taining, among other things, tho Kohlnoor
diamond, nnd the entire hlazi ot coronet
cost C10.3SO.00O. This sunerb and once al
most supernaturnlly beautiful room has lin
beaded In the white marble wall letters of
black marble, which were translated to mo
from Terslan Into English as meaning
If on the earth there be nn E len ot bliss,
That place is this, Is this, Is this, Is this.
Out the peacocks that stood beside the
throne have flown away, tnklng all the dis
omy with them, nnd tbojo white marble
floor were reddened with slaughter, and
those bathrooms ran with bloo 1, and that
Eden of which thn Persian couplet on the
walls spake has bad Its (lowers wither and
its fruits decay, and I thought while look
ing at tho brilliant desolation nn 1 standing
amid the vanished glories of that throne
room that some one had better change a
little that Persian couplet on tha wall and
make It road :
If there be a plnco whero much you mis,
That place Is this, Is this, Is this. Is this.
As I came out ol tho o.iltv'o Into the it re -T
ol Delhi, I thought to tnysdf paradise arc
not built out of stone ; are not cut In sculp
ture are not painted on walls ; are not fash
ioned out of precious stones i do nit spray tbe
cheek with fountains i do not olT-r throne

- -fc'lt I will not yet allow you to leave Delhi.
i uo uiiru iiiiuk yuu must see, or never amuu
thut you have been In India, Is the mosque
called Iummj M us J Id. It is the grandest
mosque I ever saw except Sr. Sophia at Con
stantinople, but It surpasses that In some
respects, for St. Sophia was originally n
Christian church and ohange 1 Into a mosque,
while this ot Delhi was originally built for
tbe Moslems.
As I entered 1000 or Cuoro Mohammedans
were prostrated in worship. There are
times when 5000 may be ii'en here In the
s ime nttitude. Each stone ol tbe floor is
threo foot loug by one and n half wide, an 1
each worshiper has one of thoso slab for
himself while kneeling. The erection of
this buildlug ri qulred 5000 laborers for six
yeaw. What a t.uilt up immensity ot white
marble au l red sandstone ! We d-eoend'Ml
the forty marble steps by which we asen led
nnd took anotuor look at this wonder of tlio
world.
As I thought what a brain the architect
muHt have had who llrst built tbat mosque
in his own Imagination, nnd as I thought
what an opulent ruler thnt must have ben
who gave the order for aucn vaatnrss and
symmetry, I was remludel of tbat which
perfectly explalued all. The architect who
planned this was the sanis man whq
planned tbo Taj namely, Austin de Uor
deiiu and tbe king who ordered tbe mosque
constructed was the king who ordered
tho Taj namely, Shah Jehau. As this
grand mogul ordered built the most
splendid palace for tho dead when ho
built thn Tal at Agra, be here ordered built
tho most splendid pabice ol worship for the
living nt Delhi. See here what sculpture
nnd architecture can accomplish. They link
together the centuries. Tiley successfully
dory time. Two hundred and eighty years
ago Austin de Ilordeau and Shah Jehau quit
this life, but their work lives and bid lair
to stand uutll thn contiuetits crack open, and
hemispheri s go down, uud this plauet show
ers other worlds with Its nslies.
I rejoice in all these big bulldlngs.whether
dedicated to Mohammed or Ilrahma or Dud
dha or CouiU 'liis or Zoroaster, because as
St. Sophia nt Constantinople was a Christian
church changed Into a mosque nud will yet
be changed back again, so all the moquc
and temples of superstition and sin will yet
be turned Into churches. When India
and Ceylon and China and J.ipan are
ranso-nod, lis we all believe they will be,
their religious struct urcs will all be eon
verted Into Christ mu asylums, an I Christian
schools, iiinl Chrlstl.iu llhrane. and Chris
tlau churches. Built at the exp-nse of su
perstition and sin, they will yet lie de lljated
to the Lord Almighty. Here endeth tbe
third lnw n.
As thnt night we look the mllrol train
from the Delhi station and rolled out
through the city now living over tbe vaster
cities buriod under this ancient capital,
oitle under cities, nnd our traveling ser
vant bad unrolled our bed, which oonslstel
of a rug and two blankets aud a pillow, an 1 as
we were worn out wltbthe sightseeing ot tbe
day. and were roughly tossed ou tbat noeveu
Indian railway, I sjou fell luto a troubled
sloop, In which I -saw an I beard In a con
fuse a way thn scene and sounds of the
mutiny of 185T, which at Delhi we had been
recounting, and now the rattle of tne tnln
seemed to turu into tbe rattle of musketry,
and now the light at tbe top ot the car de
luded me with the idea of a burning city,
and then tho loud thump of the railroad
brake was In dream mistaken for I
booming battery, and tho-oioes at the dirl
ferent station made me think I heard tbl
loud obeer of the llrlllnh ut tbe taking d
ths Cashmere gate, nnd as we rolled over
bridges tne bnltles before Delhi seemed
going on, and as we went through dark tun
nels 1 seemed to sen tbetomb ot Hu-nayua In
which tbe King ot Delhi was hidden, and In
my dreams I saw Lieutenant Kenny oi
tbe artillery throwing shells which wers
handed to Mm, tbeir fuse burning, aud
Campbell and Held and Hope Graut oovered
with blood, and Nleboison falling while ral
lying on th wall his wavering troorts and I
saw dead regiment fallen across dead regi
ment, and heard th rataplan of th boot
of Hodgson' horse, an J th dash ot th
Bengal artillery, and the storming by the Im
mortal fourth column, aud the rougher th
Indian railway became and the darker the
night grew th more the scenes that I
bad been studying at Delhi name on me like
an Ineatm. tint tbe morning began to look
through the window ot our Jolting rsllcar,
and thsuntlgbt poumd in on my pillow,
nnd In my dr-aui I sew the bright colors of
the English flag hoisted over Delhi, where
the green banner of th Moslem bad waved,
nnd tbe voice of th wounded nnd dying
seemed to bo exchanged for tbe voices tbat
welcomed soldiers home ngsln.
And as tbe morning light got brighter and
brighter, and In my dream I mistook the
bolls,! a station for a church belt hanging
In a minaret, where a Mohammedan priest
had mumbled his call to prayer, I seemed to
hear a cbant, whether by human or niigelle
voice In my dream I could not tell, but It
wa a cbant about "peace and good will to
men." And as thn speed ot thn rnll train
slackened the motion of thn car became
so easy a we rolled along the track that
It seemoi to nn that all tho distress
and controversy and Jolting and wars of the
world had ceas-vl, anil In my dream I
thought we had come to the time when "the
ransomed ot tho Lord shall return nn 1 come
to Zlon witn tonus and everlasting Joy upon
their beads, and sorrow nud sighing shall
flee away."
Halt hern at what you have never seen he
fore, a depopulated city, the city ot Amber,
India.
Tho strange fact Is that n ruler a'-an lor.ed
hi pa'acea at Amber andmov. l to Jaipur,
nnd all th inhabitants of tbe city followed.
Except here nn 1 there a house lu Amber
occupied by a hermit, the city Is as silent
a population as Poinp'dl of ilrca'annim,
but those cities were emptied by volcanic
disaster, whlln this cltv of .Vitber was va
cate,! bncausn prince Joy Singh w.'s told by
a Hindoo priest that no city should bo In
habited more than 1000 years, and so thn
ruler 170 years ago moved out himself,
and nil his people movel with him.
You visit Amber on thn ba'k ot an ele.

voice of business nnd gayetythat sou u led

their lsst syllabi". You piss by a lake cov
ering N0 acres, where tno rajahs used to
sail In their pleasure I oats, imt alligators
now have full possession, nnd you como to
lh abandoned palace, which Is un
enchantment. So mote picturosquo
placo was ever chosen for the r.'Sl
deuce of a monarch. Thn fortress
above looks down upon this palace, and the
palace looks doivu upon a lake. This
monarahlnl abode may nnve had attractions
when it wa tho home of royalty which have
vanished, but antiquity aud the sllen -i of
many years and opportunity to tread w ere
once you would not have tou p-rmltte I to
tread may be an addition quite iqu il to the
subtraction.
Hut what a solemn au I stup-n lous thing

He would only please him br worshiping
him (Luke iv., S, 0). It is written that Sol

21. "And sho went forth nnd said un!o
her mother, What shall I nsk'r And she said,
Tha head of John tha Iliptlst." Hho had
murder In heart continually, and now it was
her trutr fifl'J lite poxtrorurf.- ,, u&if si i

written of Ahuzlah that his mother was his

28. "And brotiKht his head In a charier

Krewsomo Rift to her mother? Yet doutit
less the mother'was Kind to have the nssur

to bavo fot so irood a man off the earth, and
no doubt John was Kind to be nt home and

God had trlven him to do. and no power
could touch him till he had finished it.
29. "And when his disciples hear I of It
