"HOSANNA"--"CRUCIFY."

On an ever-memorable day, the Son of Man rode into Jerusalem. A vast
multitude of people thronged the streets and cast their garments and
palm branches before Him, and with unbounded enthusiasm cried "Hosanna
in the highest!" But only a few days later that same multitude, as cruel

Joshua Leavitt, who was one of the earliest editors of _The Evangelist_.
Later on we come upon the names of William E. Dodge, Christopher R.

James Brown, and Jesse W. Benedict. Other names might be added to this
roll of honor, but these were representative and conspicuous.

"As far back as 1825 Arthur Tappan might have been called the most

philanthropic zeal made him on a humbler scale what Lord S
