CHAPTER II
24/28

The missionary agent was imprisoned and died of his confinement.

Mr.Evarts said, "There is a court that has power to execute its judgments." I told this story to Horace Maynard, an eminent member of Congress and a member of the Cabinet.

Mr.Maynard said, "There was never a prophecy more terribly accomplished.

The territory from which those Indians were unlawfully removed was the scene of the Battle of Missionary Ridge, which is not far from the grave of Worcester, the missionary who died in prison.

That land was fairly drenched with blood and honeycombed with graves." Mr.Evarts edited the _Panoplist,_ a very able magazine which powerfully defended the old theology against the Unitarian movement, then at its height.
A well-known writer, Rev.Leonard W.Bacon, published a short time ago a sketch entitled, "The Greater Evarts," in which he contrasted the career of Jeremiah Evarts with that of his brilliant and delightful son.
