Excerpt: ... I. harriet newell, the proto-martyr. Several centuries ago, the idea of driving out of Jerusalem its infidel inhabitants was suggested to a mad ecclesiastic. A shorn and dehumanized monk of Picardy, who had performed many a journey to that fallen city, who had been mocked and derided there as a follower of the Nazarene, whose heart burned beneath the wrongs and indignities which had been so freely heaped upon the head of himself and his countrymen, determined to arouse a storm which should send its lightnings to gleam along the streets, and roll its deep thunder to shake the hills which in speechless majesty stand around the city of God. Pope Martin ii. entered into his daring scheme, convened a council of bishops and priests, and gave the sanction of the church to the wild enterprise. This council Peter addressed, and, with all the () (c) =====.=(c) eloquence of a man inspired by a mighty project, depicted the wrongs and grievances of those who yearly sought, for holy purposes, the sepulchre wherein the Savior of man reposed after his crucifixion. He was successful in inspiring the people with his own wild enthusiasm. All Europe flew to arms; all ranks and conditions in life united in the pious work; youthful vigor and hoary weakness stood side by side; the cross was worn upon the shoulder and carried on banners; the watchword, Deus Vult, burst from ten thousand lips; and the armies of Christendom precipitated themselves upon the holy land with the awful war cry, God wills it, echoing from rank to rank. In later times a mightier, nobler enterprise was originated, and the great system of American missions commenced. The object was a grand one, and awfully important.

Like her she went out when but few were ready to bid her " God speed" or bestow their money for her support. On the record of American missions we find the name of no female who endured so much, who sacrificed so much, who accomplished so much. She fell not when the first notes of the great enterprise were ringing on her ears but she made her grave amid the strife and confusion of the battle. She livd long enough to see the fruits of missions ? to gaze upon the converts as they descended, one by one, into the baptismal wave ? to see a door opened wide enough to admit laborers from every department of the Christian church. She mourned not, as did her sister martyr, that she was cut down ere she had labored for God and seen the happy result.
