object for which ye were converted to Christ, and called to his side, quit you like men, men of large hearts.

You owe this to yourselves and your children, for you cannot be enlarged, nay nor even preserved, at home without it. You owe it to the idolater, for on every side, from the Ganges to the Wolga, the hands of drowning nations are raised, imploring help. You owe it to your Lord, through whom ye, ye Gentiles! have become heirs of these mercies; this christian atmosphere, these quiet christian homes, these bloodless christian altars: for who knows, ye children of the Saxon, but the knife of some Druid priest once drank the life-blood of some ancestor of yours!

There! in those far-off-lands, are brethren and sisters who, under God, are dependent upon you. Shall they stay and labor -or for want of support stay and perish, or shall they disperse their orphan schools, and close their doors, and quit their presses, and come back to demand of you, why they were abandoned? It has come to this!
