THE CONFLICT OP THE AOES
r (M. M. Mangasarian.)
In |ny mind's eye, I see a won-
derful building, something like the
Coliseum of ancient Rome. The
galleries"are black with people;
tier upoq tier rise like waves the
multitude of spectator# who have
come to see a great contest. A
great contest indeed! A content
in whieh the world and all the
centuries are interested. It is the
contest—the fight to ; death.—'be-
tween Troth and Error.
The door opens, and a alight,
small, shy and insignificant look *
ing thing steps into the arena, It
is Truth. The vast audience twfests
into hllarous and derisive1 laugfcv
ter. Is this Truth t This shud-
dering thing in tattered, clothes,
and almost naked! And the house
shakes agaiq with mocking and
hisses. ■
