typhoid (ever now rages and which it | eens impossible to cheek.The hospi- \"tals are overcrowded with cases, and \"patients bave to bo refused daily.| While the official record at the five big hospitals only show 198 cases, it lis stated by medical men that thers are over five hundred cases in the oity et present.and the outbreak ie spreading in the outlying districts.All the private hospitals are taxed to their capacity.Thirty-seven Victorian Order Nurses are doing their best to attend to some sixty-thres free cases which thev are treating.1t has been found necésrary to advertise {or more nurses, from other parts of Canada, for there are none on regisier here to-dav.With the hospitals taxed to their capacity, the Victorian Order is called upon so frequently that the nurses on the already augumented staff ave over-worked, and still their is no checking the sperad of the disease.Inmead of a cessation «f the outbreak at this season there appears to be an alarming increase, bevond the power of the medical men and civic bealith au- | thoritics to check.\u2014\u2014\u2014 | A FIREPROOF CHRISTMAS.A fireproof Christmes tree is one of the things talked about as desiraule avery year and th # far the only im provement ie the substitution of small and electricity cheap, for ihe mengoing candles.The Buffalo News suggests n chemical treatment of the tree iteeli\u2014 on the lines of the firemroofimg of theater scenery?A firaprool costing including spameles would detract nothing from the natursiness of the tree\u2014 might add to it by passing for frost.There is room

formed a confederation, are | now preparing to tale another leaf out | ef the same hook and provided their confederation with an ocsan-to-ocean railway.The report of the engineer entrusted hy the Commonwealth Government with the duty of studviog out the hest route for the proposed link needed to complete the railway communication from end to ond of Australia, has been submitted to the Flouse of Representatives.The pre \"liminary estimate of the cost of the tink is 220,000,000, which makes it the most ambitious project that has ever come before the Australian people.{The estimated Imgth of this link is 1.063 miles.The obslacles to Le mumounted in its contruction wall be vastly different from those encountered bv the men who built Canada\u2019s first transcontin- OBRRONICLE eatal line.Instead of boring through mountain rock for « Passage, the Australian railway builders have before them , the great Vietorian desert over which not oven & Wagon has yet passed.These million dollars must be expended in providing water supply, necessitating the building of reservoirs in many places.The cost of bridges and visduots, bowever, Will not be very heavy.The report shows the line would opm up a vast ares of fime pastoral country.By providing a means of transport it would shorten bv several days the time occupied bv mails between Eastern Australia and Great Britain and, nt the rame time strength.an the defence of the western state by making available the military forces of the more densely populated states in case of need.It will link up Port Augusta, in South Australia, with Kalgoorile, which is the end of the railway svsiem in Western Australis.Jt will thus complete the girdle of stor] round Australia through ail the mainland cavitals from Perth to Bris bane.The intention is to equip the road fur a through passenger train dailv.and three freight trains a week.To the Commonwealth at large thd chief direct advantage of the railway will be ifs unifving effect.lt will save long and tedious vovages by water, bring the cities of the two coasts into closer relation.and promote the de velopment of the interior.THE GRAIN TRADE.From information broucht down in Parliament the grain trade seems to be pretty evenly divided on the way to the Old Land between the all- water route and the part rail and part water.last vear 25 million bushels were delivered at ports on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay to te forwarded io Montreal by rail, while 19 million bushels went all the way down by water.The freexing ol the Lakes is, of course, the factor which causes ro large à proportion to go by way of the Georgien Bay ports.a vessel being abla to convey much more more grain in the limited open season in the fall frgm Port Arthur or Fort William to these poris than straight through to Montreal.It seems, too.that much if not all the grain going all the way by water bas to be reshipped at Kingeton or Prescott from the large lake freighters into river noats.The.deepesing of the Welland Canal will,vol course, give émpetus to this route by making it possible to use larger ships on the Lake section the all-water route.During the vent 19 million bushels wera shipped from Port Arthur and Fort Wiliam to American ports, while 11 million bushels resched Montreal from American ports.That anv of the Canedian grain sent to American ports was en route to the Old Land by U, S.routes is not probable.The grain from United States ports which reached Montreal was perhaps partly Canadian grain, being handled in United States boats, but much of it was no doubt grain grown south of the border and being sent to Europe by the shortert route.If the whole Extra Fancy Work Baskets ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.Work Work Work Work Work Work Work Work Wark Work

After explaïning the connection in the Psalm of the words of the w=xt, the preacher set forth certain truths reparding the Church or Body of Belisvers, espegially taught by the imagery of the text.These were: First, the security of the church.This was based ujon the relation to God, being one of prace and not of merit, Christ was shown to be the mwlia vr between God and man.He, by his life and death, achieved a relation to both, that made him man\u2019s Saviour, by mediating be tween a righteous God and sinful men, This he did, by becoming to men the second Adam, the life-giving spirit.De.Milligan se this forth by eminent discoveries in science, like Columbus and Watt, who in i w heres, brought men in new rela- {tions to thingw, so Christ, the great- ex's of eeers, Lroucht men into new and gracious relation to God.In consequence, men set up, ns a banner does, a watchword for men, the reve lation of God as one of redemption.In this sense they set up His name, that is, all that revelation declared Him to be on thrir banners, as they moved from age to age as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.In the second place, God's people set up His rame on their Lanners as a name endowing them with true life and insight, for the spiritual alone are men truly awake, children of the day, alert and enterprising.After setting forth the practical bearings of this truth, the preacher noticed in the third place, the duty of souls graciously related and davine- ly quickened in the matter of rightly ormanizing to do God's work in the world.In this connection the whole subject of church organization received considerable attention which space forbids our entering upon at due length.The point advocated, was, a church of Canada, inclusive of all believérs who made the cen\u2018ve of their organization, Christ and Him crucified Hitherto the centres of organization have been ecclesiastical rovernment or modes of sacramental administration, or methods of clerical appointment, instead of Chrimt the true centre of the church.Some day it was hoped that the church would see it to he its duty to seek unity in essentials, lLib- erty in non-essentials and in all things charity.All things are intended to be auxiliaries to spiritual interests.It was this that urged Paul to become to the Jews a Jew, and to the Greeks a Greek, and father Taylor to become a svaman, in the use of nautical things.as auxiliaries to the spiritual life of sailors.And why not organize in such à way, as that national interests and elements shall become aubrervient to the religious needn of Canadians?Are not these the non-essentials that should he made subservient t> the seeking of that unity inherent in the Headship of Christ, that shail give Him the su preme place setting forth the purrose of organise! religious life.We have a Church of England and a Church of Scotland.Why may we pot hope, and pray, and work, that we may in this larger and more Catholic way have a Church in Canada, thus we shail make subordinate things subordinate and give to supreme thi their merited ruperiority.Mem will thus he helper] to distinguish in apir itual intereats the shell from the pearl and the temporal from the eternal.In conclusion, references were male to the past hi«tary of the Church, to its present conditions and its future prospects, coupler with the assurance, that in setting up our banners jn ths name of the Lord, we were doing the work that God purposed to crown with unspeakably glorious, even eternal victory, An eloquent tribute was ako paid to the long and successful pastorats of the Rev.Mr.Love and the good work accomplished by the old and historic congregation of St.Andrews, A large congregation was also pre sent at the evening service and linten- ed with rapt a\u2018vention to an excellent sermon from the eloquent divine, who chose for his text, \u201cRomans 11-36, \u201cFor of Hin, and through Him, are all things;
