In a -school under the -cure of the Episcopnl church two boys were con verted to. Christ and were to be bnptized. An intelli;.:ent' Buddhist. boy snid in the school. ~l.et,nll ,the boys on liuildlufs side come to this port of the room and all the boys on Christ : aide go - to the 0lllel"p.'|l't of the room." All the! boys except two went on Buddha's side. and when the two boys who were tobe baptized were scoed at and derided one of tlteui yielded and retired to Buddha`:i side. V But nfte-.r\\'&rd that boy was very sorry ' that he had yielded to the persecution, and when the dny oi ln_tptismcn`me stood up be- side the boy who remained lirm Some one said to the boy who -ha_d wtciilnted in hil choice between Buddha and Christ. You are it coward and not lit for either side." but he replied. I was overcozne of tempta- tion, but I repent and believe." Then both the boys were bnptiaed, and from that tim:-`the Auizlicnh rhission moved on more and more \`i',:0|'ollsl_Y. I will not say which of nil the. denominations of Christ- inns is doing the most for the evaligeiip ntion oi` that island. but know thi.<--Cey- lon will be taken for Christ!

The high priest rst reatd.Ihd ` then one of his students read. A group of as linely [ormed young men as I ever saw surrounded the venerable instructor. The last word of each sentence Wu intoned.. There was in the whole scene In urticar- new which impressed me, Not, able to understand 3 word of what was said. there is It look of language and intonntion thnt hi the some uuong .nll races.
