Judson were still learning the language. In September, 1815, a son was born to them, but to their great grief he died eight months later, through want of medical attention. When the child was buried, some forty Burmese and Portuguese followed the body to the grave. In December, 1815, Mr. and Mrs. Judson began to make known to the people the Gospel they had come to Burma to preach.
And so, carrying on all that questioning with myself, while I tried to preach, causing a little 'embarrassment, as you kindly call it, in the sermon." "I should think so! But how do you know, Philip, that those people outside were in any need of your preaching?" Philip appeared surprised at the question. He looked at his wife, and her face was serious. "Why, doesn't everybody need preaching?
The Holy Father sent Dominican priests to preach about this indulgence and collect this money. Then Luther, when he found that he, a great preacher, was not appointed, was probably jealous. He first began to preach against the abuses of indulgences: but pride made him go further, and soon he began to preach against the doctrine of indulgences, and thus became a heretic.
A man from the congregation read some verses from Leviticus; then several other men read short passages. The people stirred expectantly when Jesus stood up.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has consecrated me to preach the gospel to the poor.
They called themselves the Poor Men of Lyons Pauperes de Lugduno; Li Poure de Lyod. The Archbishop of Lyons excommunicated them; but Alexander III, at the request of Peter, allowed them to preach with permission of the priests.

We'll fly the bleak world's bitter air A brighter home shall win us; And if our hearts grow weary there, We'll find a world within us. They preach that passion fades each hour, That nought will pall like pleasure; My bee, if Love's so frail a flower, Oh, haste to hive its treasure.
Haven't you ever heard, or read, how the Mussulman people expect a saviour, the Moul Saa, as they call him the Man of the Hour, who will preach a Holy War, and lead it himself, to victory?" "Yes, I've read that " "Well, Cassim hopes to be the Moul Saa, and deliver Islam by the sword. I suppose you wonder how I know such secrets, or whether I do really know them at all. But I do.
I can have a little private bet, just to keep myself awake, with Sir Lionel, here." But Mr. O'Callaghan declined the experiment. So he had another cup of tea and another muffin, and then went his way; regretting sorely in his heart that he could not get up into a high pulpit and preach at them all. However, he consoled himself by "improving" the occasion on the following Sunday.
Why did not he, in favour with Ismail, and with great influence, stop this dreadful and humiliating business? It was a disgrace to the English name. How could we preach freedom and a higher civilisation to the Egyptians while an Englishman enriched himself and ruled a province by slavery?
