Two processions I saw In Ceylon within one hour, the first led by a Hindoo priest, a htiife pot of flower on his head, hi facedls flifured with bcly laceration and his un washed followers bentlnx ns many discord from whnt are supposed to bo musical In struments a nt one time can be Induced to enter the human ear. The procession halted at the door of the huts. The occupant came out and made obntsancennd presented amall contributions. In return therefor tho priest sprinkled nshes upon the children who came forward, this evident Ira form of lcnedlctlon. Then the procession, led on by tho priest, started niralti. More noise, more nshes, more ifenullectlon. However keen one's sense of the ludicrous, he could find nothing to excite even a smile In the movements of such a procession. Meanlnir Icss, oppressive, iU-illd, filthy, snrl. licturnlng to our earrhm'o, we rode on for a few moments, and we came on another procession, n kindly lady lending groups of native oniiiiren, all clean, bright, happy, Inughlng. They were n Chr stlnn school out for exercise. There s-emed ns much 'itelll-g.-nce, refinement anil happiness In thnt reg iment of young Cingalese a you would llnd In the ranks of anr young Li lies' seminary being .'hnperon. on their afternoon walk through Cent nil Park. New York, or Hyde 1'ark, London. The Hindoo procession Il lustrated on asmnll scale something of what lllndo'dsm enn do tor the world. The Chrls tlnn procession Illustrates on a small scale somi thing of what Christianity can do for the world. Hut those two procession Were only fragments of two great processions ever inarching ncro:s our world, the procession Misted of superstition nnd the proenssion blessed of gospel light. I saw thetn in one Mternoon In Ceylon. They nre to bo soon in all nations, Nothing Is of more thrilling Interest than the Christian achievements In this Island. The Episcopal 'hurch was here the national church, but disestablish ment lias taken place, and since Mr. filadstone's accomplishment of that fact in 1S-0 all denominations nr on i'ipial platform, end nil nre doing mighty work. America is second lo no other nation In whnt tins been done for Ceylon. Since Isin she lias hail her religious agtits in the JafTnii peninsula of Ceylon. The Hpauld lngs, the Howiauds, the Irs. poor, the baundcrs, and others Just ns good nnd strong Imve Ik n fighting back monsters of super stition and cruelty greater than any thst ever swung the tusk or roared In the Jungles. Tho American missionaries in Ceylou have given special ntteuti. in to mnlical In struction nnd are doing wonders In driving buck the horrcrsol heathen surgery. Cases of sulTerlng were formerly given ovr to the devil worsliloers nnd such torture inflicted as may not be described. The patleut wns tramplod by tho feet of tho medlrnl utten ilnnts. It Is only ot God's mercy that there Is n living mother In Ceylon. Oh, how much Ceylon n-eds doctors, nnd the me !. cal elai-s-s of unlive students under the care of those who follow the examlde of the In'e Hamuol Fish Oreen nre providing them, so thnt nil the alleviations and kindly minis tries and scletitiflcxctimenthiit enn be found In Americnn and English hospitals will soon blees nil Ceylon. In that Island are thirty-two Amerhnn school, 210 Church of England schools, 2:1 1 Wi-sleynu schools, 211 Koman Catholic schools. Ah, the schools decMemost every thing! How sugggis;tvn the Incident thnt came to me In Ceylou. In n school under the oare ot the episcopal church two boys were converted to Christ and were to be baptised. An Intelligent IluJdlst boy said lu the school. 'Let all the boys on Uuddhe's side come to this part of the room -.a1 til tho boys ou Christ's aide go to the other part of the room." All the boys except two went on Buddha' side, nnd when the two hoy who were to be baptized Were scoffed at niid der ded one ol thorn yielded nnl retired to Iluddha's side. Hut alterward that boy was sjitv that he had yielded to the persecution, and when the day of baptism came utoo 1 up beside th boy who remained llrm. Home one said to tho boy who had vacillated lu his choice be. two n Iluddha nnd Christ, "Von are n coward nn l not tit for either side." but he replied, "1 was overcome of temptation, but I rep-nt nnd believe." Then botn boys were bnptlie l, nnd from that time the Augellcan mission moved on more nnd more vigorously. I will not say which of all the denomina tions of Christians Is doing the most for the evangelization of that Island, but know this Ceylon will be takeu for Curiat '. Siui; HbLop Hole r's hymn . What tt:ough the spicy brcr ,s U!ow oft over Ceylou isle ! Among the llrst phc I visited was n Pu Idhlst college, about 10) men studying to lioeoino priests gathered around the teacners. Stepping Into the building wherj the high priest was instructing th class, we were apolegetlo and told him we were Americans aud would like to see his mode of teaching If lie had n) ol jcctlons, w.iereupon be he. gau, doubled upas he was on a lounge, with his right hand playing with h'.s foot. In his left haul he held a package of bam'joo leaves, ou which worn written tho wor Is ot the b .sou, enCi stiid-nt hoi ling n similar package of bamboo bave. The high priest llrst read, and then one ot his students read. A group ot as lluely lorme 1 young mtu as I ever saw surrounded the instructor. The last word of each sentence was Intoned. There wns la the whole scene au e iruestness which impressed me. Not able to under stand a word of what w.is said, there is a book of language nud Intonation that is the s imo among all races. That the l!u Idlusts have lull taith in their religion no uue cau doubt. That is, In their opiulor, the wav to heaven. What Mohammed Is to the Mo hammedan, unt wh it Christ Is to the Chris hall, llu I. Ilia Is to the li'i 1 Ihlst. We w ilt ed lor a pause lu the rwcitntiou, uud thou 1'xpnw-in our thanks retired. Nearby is n llu Idhist tempi... on tho altar of which be'oret'ie Image of Hu Id'ia are of ferings of ilowers. As ulght was corning on we came up to n Hindoo temple. Flrt we were proldoltel going farther than the out si le steps, I ut wm gri lu illy advance uutil we could see all that was going ou lus.e. The worshipcis Were making oM-auce. Ttie tamtam were wildly Pra.eu, and shrill pipes were blown, mi l w-,.j ottn r lustrumeuts were lu lull Inaxi nud blar-, aui I here wu au lud'H 'rli'Hblti hubbub nud the most labor Ions style of worship I had ever shu or heard. The dim lights, and the Jargon, and the glooms, and thu timing figures mingled for eye an. I ear a horror whlcu it is ilirtlcult to shake off. All this was only suggcstiveof whnt would there transpire alter the toiler of the day had ceased work aud had time to appear at the temple. That su h tnlug should be supposed to please the Lord or have any power to console or help the wor shiper Is ouly soother mystery luthi world of mysteries. Hut w cam away aaddeued with the spm-taele, a stduess winch did not leave u uulil we arrived ut a place wnere a Christian uilsniouary was preaching lu th I reel to group of unlives.

On this island are dead New York and dead Pek ing and dead Edinburgh nn t dead Lon don. Ever and anon nt the stroke ot the archnvgllst' hnmmer the tomb of some grent municipality files open, nnd there are other burled cities that will yet respond to the explorer's pickax.
