92 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. [January, strangers are allowed access to all parts of it. It covers a parallelogram 847x729 feet, with nine gopuram, the tallest of which is 152 feet. The temple is divided into two parts—one dedicated to Minakshi, the fish-eyed goddest, consort to Siva, and the other to Siva. At the entrance is a long corridor filled with dealers and their wares, and no one moves to cast them out of the temple. We had to leave Sam here, as his caste did not permit him to enter the inner precincts. A aumber of priests accompanied us. In the middle of the temple is the tank of golden lillies, surrounded by a painted arcade. We came down a long, dark corridor lined with images of Hindoo saints and gods, and through rooms containing gold and silver litters into the great "hall of a thousand pillars." Though the number is exaggerated, yet the elaborate carving makes it the handsomest hall of its kind in existence. Opposite to it is the new gallery dedicated to Siva, a hall 333 feet long by 105 broad, supported by four rows of pillars. The whole temple is lighted with a "dim, religious light," half revealing, half concealing the grotesque images of kings and gods, and the effect is very weird. Its great size and noble proportions give it a dignity lacking in the other Indian temples we had visited. During our stay here we formed the acquaintance of the Rev. James Rowland, a Tamil convert to Christianity, named for his teacher, and a member of the flourishing missionary colony of Madura. He gave us a most interesting account of his work among the natives. We had already been much impressed by the practical results of the mission work in India, where schools *and hospitals iare doing so much to lessen the ignorance and sufferings of the people, and even Christianity is beginning to take root a little. This is the supreme test, for many missionaries give up their lives to the cause without being able to implant Christianity in the natives, so far removed from it is the Oriental mind, and yet it is said that the Sanscrit language expresses the idea of a triune God better than any other. Indian women have been more benefitted by the missionaries than any other class, though, alas, very much yet remains to be done before they can approach even remotely to the freedom and manifold privileges of their occidental sisters. Their condition now, however, is, on the whole, less deplorable than it was some time back, when they had no escape from the barbarous custom of child marriages, often followed either by a cruelly persecuted widowhood, or else by the scarcely worse suttee or burning on the death of their husbands. The purdah women, or those whose caste demanded their faces to be veiled, and then to be hidden behinc purdahs or curtains, suffer tortures OUR FERTILIZER MATERIAL FOR HOriE MIXING.
