their owner has got out at a way station.An employee himself may possibly be dishonest; but when the gentleman asks for the waterproof, and the official shakes his head, it may be concluded that a fellow-pas senger, in a fit of absent-mindedness, possibly, has walked off with it.A well-filled purse might tempt the employee; the missing feather-fan, which the most diligent search fails to bring forth, is being languidly waved by a sister woman, who feels no guilt.RAINFALL IN INDIA.Simla, Sept.12.\u2014There has been a good rainfall over the Madras and Bombay deccan.The situation elsewhere is unchanged.-\u2014\u2014 FOREST FIRES IN FRANCE.Marseflles, Sept.11.\u2014Extensive fires are raging in the woods near Marseilles and Toulon, at least ten miles of forest being in flames.À number of chateaux have been destroyed, and others are threatened, JACQUES CARTIER .DEPOSITORS | oa\u2019 the ruins | | teis: into shape so\u201cthat they may be à | result.NEWS OF THE BANKS.: The Ville Marie Circulatioti ols G About $509,000.STILL SIGNING AGREEMENT.to, \u2018make a report as soon as possible;

so, while I still attended to the books, it became known that I could shave when called on, and I bad a number of regular customers, which enabled my \u2018uncle to give me some little salary besides my board and clothes.\u2018I had a good opportunity of learning the business, and 1 am glad to say I took | advantage of it, and when my uncle died I was enabled \u2018to manage his shop for nearly two years.Then his wife decided I gave up and came here and opened.this .I don\u2019t know that I have any customs \"or methods different from \u201cother barbers teyond employing only women.My reason for that is that I consider them as good and often better than men at the business.They are cleaner, quicker, and less talkative.I have-never.had a woman assistant who annoyed -a customer by talking, but I know many oi the men employed by my uncle did.I .am never troubled by \u2018drunkenness, smoking, chewing, or the use of profane language among my employees.Any self-respecting woman has a natural dislike: to making hernelf repugnant.Cd one and half a dozen of the other: There \u2018are.pleasant and- unpleasant women, and | the same can \u2018be said of men.In my hairdressing parlors, of course, only women customers are allowed, and I must say I have very few complaints from either customers or employees.There is a young woman with a fad for trying new shades for her hair, and she occa- gionally rows with one of my girls about the way they handle her hair, which is becoming quite thin, after she has.had the color changed.\u2018We have several gentlemen who have their hair curled.The majority of them are young fellows, dandies with their first mustaches, but some are older.There is a lawyer who takes great pride in this beard, and has it bathed regularly in bay rum, firmly believing that its curliness is increased.Then there is a retired army officer who has both hair and mustache curled, and an old white-haired minister who is as careful of the waving.of his long, snowy locks as any girl of eighteen.The barber shop is the place to study human nature, and I enjoy my work, everything about it except the sign, and that aversion I am trying to overcome.\u2014 New York \u2018Sun\u2019 té 7 RHODES\u2019S UNIVERSITY DEGREE.Mr.Cecil Rhodes\u2019s degree of D.C.L.from Oxford, has been the subject of much gossip.One report had it, that the degree would be vetoed at the last moment.Ar\u2019 old Oxford man, writing in the \u2018 Cornhill, says :\u2014 One gentleman related, on the very highest authority, that a most distinguished personage had threatened to leave the theatre if the senior proctor vetaed the degree.Another gentleman knew for a faet that Lord Kitchener hod.said privately to Mr.Rhodes: ° Don\u2019t forget, Rhodes, that I have a sword under my gown if it is wanted\u2019\u2014a tale that excited the imagination(pf the most nro- saic.Other stories were more ostentatiously acadensic and apocryphal, as that Dr.Shadwell had prepared himself with South\u2019s quip upon the general who accidentally turned his back when being presented for his degree, and was introduced as \u2018 Hunc bellicosissimum, qui un- quam antea tergiversatus est\u2019 Lord Kitchener's bearing, it was added, vas an correct that the witticism could not be introduced.m\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOTES AND NOTICES.Willis & Co., a Progressive Firm.\u2014 This old established house, well known to be the most extensive dealers in pianos and organs in Canada, have taken the sole wholesale and retail agency from Ontario to Newfoundland for tha Domin- jon Organ and Piano Co.Mr.À.P- Willis has returned from the Maritime Provinces, whére he has enlarged and increased wareroom space and business gencrally, at Halifax, St.John, Sydney, Stellarton.Charlottetown and Amherst.It is rumored that many hitherto opposing piano men in this territory have now \u2018THE CITY COUNCIL, For Broken Windows, Ee CITY, THE RAILWAYS AND THE ABATTOIR COMPANY.\u2014 yesterday afternoon, Mayor Prefontaine Presiding.7 Rev.W.D.Reid, pastor of Taylor Presbyterian Church, Papineau street, coin- the city.A and Finance committees.Council of oad Commitee.mittee by Ald.Stevenson.20° any discussion on.thé question.and Finance committees.;

the Court of Appeal reduced this to $102,550.that the Street Railway Company bases its claim for reduction from the assessors\u2019 evaluation.The assessors,in addition to placing this the company\u2019s poles, wires and ralls, has \"a the .poles at $11,200 for the collection of the\u2019 business tax, taking the ground that the poles are subjéct.to be Tented just the \u2018same as are houses and other properties.The company.contests the right to impose this assessment altogether.WILL OF mst - THE -LATE MR.GEO.Cy \"ROBERTS.The will of the late Mr.George Roberts, builder, has been filed in- the Tutelle office.His estate is divided .among the members of his family, and Mr, George A.Mann Tt is on the strength of \u2018these decisions | The Leyland line SS.Assyrian, from Montreal, arrived at Antwerp on Sept.9.- The Manchester line SS.Manchester Enterprise arrived at Manchester on Sept.10.Father Point, Que., Sept.11.\u2014SS.Yola, Elder-Dempster line, from London, inward at 9.30 p.m.\u2018The Hanea St.Lawrence line SS.Antwerp City, from Montreal, arrived at Antwerp, on Sept.10.The Hamburg-Americaa line SS.Sophie \u2018Rickmers sailed from Hamburg for Mont- rea\u2019 on Sept, 10.The dépth of water at Sorel on the 10th was 26 feet 8 inches;

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1809._ \u2018We have the authority of Mr.Thomas Monro, chief engineer of the Soulanges canal, for stating that the water of Lake St.Francis will be let down into the reaches of sections Nos.1 and 2 of the canal, at the Lake St.Louis end, and that the gates of locks Nos.1 and 2 will be placed in position probably during the present week.This is a fact of great interest and importance, as it means that the St.Lawrence canal system will be open to vessels of fourteen feet draught during the present season, and should induce keener competition with Buffalo for the carrying of the pres- The opening this year has been remdered possible onty by the energy \u2018of the contzac-) tors for sections 1 and 2, Messrs.Ryan] and Macdosald, who have been working 7 night and day, and who have been much aided by the fine weather of the past | month.This has enabled them to complete the essential parts of the extensive works embraced in their coatract this fall, and although much still remains to be done on parts of the canal above the water line, this will not interfere to any great extent with navigation.tfc Commenting on the speculative estimates of what the population of the United States will be, according to the census to be taken next June, the Philadelphia \u2018Press\u2019 calls attention to the fact that the birth rate and the rate of in- c ease in population have been falling for a long time, and that both;are probably lower now than ever before.Thos2 who expect the figures to reach seventy- seven or eighty millions will be disappointed, the \u2018Press\u2019 thinks, and it places its estimates at less than seventy-five millions.Immigration has been much lighter in the decade now dosing than in the previous one.That is, however, | a minor element as compared with the vital statistics.There appears reason to fear that the older American element in the Northern States is not increasing at all.Excluding the South, the colored population, and the great part of the total which is composed of immigrants and their children, the growth of the nation has nearly or quite ceased.The paper referred to predicts that persons now living will see the population of the United States as stationary as that of France is to-day.Various reasons are asisgned for this falling off, but it seems generally agreed that the highly artificial style of modern life is one of the principal causes.ee Two and a half million pounds of butter, worth, at twenty-two cents, over \u2018half a million dollars, were exported from Montreal last week, the largest week\u2019s business in the history of the trade, and the first week in which our butter export has almost equalled that of choese in value.This week is likely to be similar.If eo, stocks will be pretty well exhausted.A little later Australian grass butter will probably reduce prices.Our butter exports since the first of May are over two and a half times those of last year, namely, 289,204 packages, against 111,231.Cheese has gained twenty percent this year on last, showing since the first of May 1,255,656 boxes, against 1,045,084.These increased quantities have been accompanied by higher prices, proving that our dairy products are being viewed with increased favor in Great Britain, and that keeping our ment.The development of creamerics throughout the country and the substitution of expert butter-making for the ex- we think, be credited in large measure to the activity of Mr.Fisher, the Minis- son in making plain to the agriculturists that they had made almost as much cheese as the British market could take, while there was still an unlimited opening for good butter ; in disseminating the latest knowledge as to the methods, from the stable to the table, necessary to thè production of good butter ; in improving means for the successful transportation of the butter without deterioration, and in advertising Canadian dairy products in Great Britain.Farmers are, no doubt, congratulating themselves now on having, as so strongly urged in these columns, refrained from making fodder cheese and turned their attention to good butter.The continued success of our butter business, however, demands clean stables, healthy cows, clean water, clean dairies, as much as good creameries, things far more difficult to be sure of.me - HIGH FREIGHT RATES.The transportation rate on wheat from Fort William to Buffalo is six cents per bushel; from Duluth to Buffalo five cents per bushel.Last year the rate during the busy season from Fort William to Buffalo was two and a half cents a bushel, and this was considered high in comparison with the Duluth and Buffalo rate, which was two cents, and a big advance on'the Chicago-Buffalo rate, which earlier in the season had been as low as nine mrills a bushel.The reason for the comparatively high lake transportation freight rate this season is of course the revival and extraordinary activity of the iron trade, which was almost dead last year.The grain transportation trade of the lakes, large as it is, is almost in significant compared with the iron and coal transportation trade, and the latter, when active,\u201d éommands the services of the great carriers, the grain trade being then left to the smaller second rate vessels, which cannot carry so cheaply, and are able, when not subject to the competition of the great carriers, to charge a rate which affords \u2018a high profit to them, notwithstanding their limited capacity and the consequent greater cost of transportation in them.The greatest carriers will of course reap very heavy profits this season, end there will probably be a large increase in their number, as the growth of the traffic in the average year is greater than the ordinary increase in the production of vessels, Of the lake transportation trade Canada commands less, we understand, than seven percent.The rapid increase of our North-Western wheat production, the development of our rich mineral areas, both in south-eastern and western Algoma, should, with the growing traffic increasing population of Manitoba and the Territories, the increased traffic both ways consequent upon the opening up of the resources of British Columbia, bring about a rapid development of Canadian trade and shipping on the great lakes, and if the deepening of the canals has the desired effect the development should be extremely rapid within the next year or two.What is wanted is the Jaunch- ing out of Canadian enterpriee and energy in this direction.Ip the meantime ths higher rates of lake freight reduces considerably the prices obtained by.Çana- dian farmers for their grain, though probably in the present state of the wheat market the British consumers bear a share of the greater cost of tramsporta- tion.LAW AND ECCLESIASTICAL AUTHORITY.tions to make use of the civil or criminal courts, especially the latter, to enforce

ths criminal courts, Ecclesiadtical bodies are simply voluntary organizations before the law.It would constitute a peril to the state if any suc cessful attempt should be made to enforoe ecclesiastical mandates and rules by means of the secular arm.Churches have their.own methods of dealing with their recalcitrant members, which, in so far as they are not contrary to law and exercised within the terms of the implied contract between them and their members, the law recognizes and upholds them in.The principal conflict we have known between British law and church discipline is that dealt with by the law which pronounces the use of ecclesiasti- eal terrors to influence the votes of the electors to be undue influence, and therefore a criminal interterence with that freedom which is essential to the very existence of self-governing countries.In the Roman Catholic Church, which is almost exclusively aimed at by this law, there exists in the minds of the hity a well-established limit to the Church\u2019s authority.This limit is found at that line which in their view separates the things of the kingdom of heaven from thosa of secular life.This distinction, though not admitted by the Church, is everywhere insisted on by the laity, and was \u2018a well-understood part of the Galli can system as planted in Canada.The prosecution of a Syrian priest, just concluded, the bottom purpose of which seems to have been to prevent him exercising priestly functions in Montreal without the authority of the archbishop, was not carried into the courts in that shape, but took the form of criminal proceedings for obtaining money under false pretences, a charge which proved so hollow that it should never have had the countenance of the crown.The Church would have been well within its legal rights bad it warned the faithful that the person in question had not the approval of the archbishop, and that they were forbidden to.apply to him for the consolations of religion.If, after that, people chose to accept his ministrations, they could be treated by the Church as disobedfent and disorderly.So far as the law is concerned they might be held to hive thereby sacrificed some of their rights and standing in the Roman Cath- glic \u2018Chireh ; but they would be pngbect, ed, by\"the, law in following the teacher of Their \u2018choice, whether he was a Maronite, a Mormon or a Buddhist.And any man who does not break the law is free to exercise whatever mysteries and teach whatever doctrines may seem to him good, and take money in connection with the same, whether he bo orthodox or heterodox, or even if he calls his Le a joss, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014> GERMANS AND BOERS.German interest in the dispute between Great Britain and the Transvaal Republic \u2018arises partly from the fact that there is a certain German element in the population to keep up the interests of the fatherland, partly from an assumption of kinship with the Boers, but probably chiefly from the fact that among the dreams indulged in by the Kaiser and his people.is that of absorbing Holland, with all her dependencies and offshoots, into the German empire.In the fruition of this magnificent idea tha dering genius of the emperor foresees the establishment of a power equal to that of the British empira, and one that would be strong enough to dispute with Anglo-Saxondom the claim of overshadowing the world.Though Holland hae lost the leading position she once held | as a maritime power, her people are nevertheless a nation of sailors, and she still possesses in the islands of Java and Sumatra, Borneo and New Guinea colonies of great extent and value.That the Dutch could rise again to their former greatness, and even surpass it, is quite possible, and in his dream the emperor \u2018is said to see them manning the fleets which he hopes will yet outmatch those of Great Britain.But though-he may be a dreamer in some things he is eminently practical in affairs of immediate concern, and has shown his wisdom Ly his attitude of friendliness to the British since his ill-advised telegram to President Kruger, which seemed to ig nore British suzerainty, provoked the challenge of the flying squadron hy Great Britain, which compelled explanations and apologies.These explanations led to the negotiation of an agreement between Great Britain and Germany as to the partition of South Africa, which has never been officially made public, but which, \u2018it was understood, secured to Great Britain the dominant position she claimed in South Africa, including recognition of the suzerainty of the Trans vaal, the ultimate possession of the Por- thority from the cradle to the grave.| Steel Company recently purchased for a tuguese possessions south of the Zam- besi, and the Loango territory, north of the Congo mouth, Germany to be allowed Angola and the Mozambique coast, north of the Zambesi river.It is but justice to the emperor, the German Government and the official German press to say that during the course of the dispute with the Transvaal they have been loyal to the agreememt, and have repeatedly counselled the Transvaal to come to terms with Great Britain.Austria, and even France, have followed Germany\u2019s example, whereas had Germany been inclined to make trouble she would probably not have lacked allies, especially as Russia was not disinclined to countenance the Transvaal, though without any material interest in South Africa.The interests of the German and French Uitlanders, with the exception of those of & few individual monopolists, have been identical with those of the British Uitlanders, and as Great Britain was the only nation which eould possibly compel redress, being the only one which pos sessed a way to the Transvaal frontier, the German and French governments have probably been urged by their subjects in the Transvaal to at least support the British Government in its demands for fair play for the Uitlanders.The friendliness of the emperor and official Germany, however, is not echoed very heartily by some sections of the more independent German press.Berlin despatches say the Transvaal question is discussed with great interest, but the press comment is mostly unfavorable to Great Britain, and the hint is given that it is not likely that Germany, France and.Russia will remain impassive spectators of all the complications which may arise out of a possible war.This reminds us of the sort of talk indulged in previous to the Spanish-American war, when a combination of the powers named for the overthrow of British power was openly discussed.The attitude of the German press shows that the old jealousy on which those schemes were based is not dead.The German territory to which the Berlin \u201cpapers say the Boers may remove, making the greatest trek ever seen, must either be Namaqualand or German East Africa, north of Mo zambique.Namaqualand \"might be Kcééuéd bY a\u201d trek of Wbout threw hans 1 dred \u2018miles across British Bechuanaland, but the country is almost waterless, and therefore very unproductive.German East Africa, though tropical, is fartile, but would necessitate a waggon journey of eight hundred or a thousand miles through British or Portuguese ter ritory swarming with savage native tribes, all of whom are hos tile to Europeans, and some at actual war with their European rulers.We only wish that the Boers might have a chance to learn under equal conditions the difference between British sugerainty and German sovereignty.The British would observe.with equanimity the fine display of mutual admiration between Boers and Germans which the change would give them the opportunity for indulging.No two peoples are more utterly diverse in their upbringing than these two.The Boer has trekked and trekked because of his restiveness under restraint or public regulation, while the German\u2019s life is regulated by public au- In German Africa the Boers would find officials of every possible uniform to tell him what he should and should not do, but no German settlers to obstruct his settlement.tp A SITE GRANTED.\u2014 FORT WILLIAM VOTES FOR MR.OGILVIE\u2019S NEW MILL AND ELEVATOR.Fort William, Sept.12.\u2014Considerable interest was shown yesterday in the voting on the by-law to give a site valued at 850,000 and exemption from taxation for ten years, to Mr.W.W.Ogilvie\u2019s proposed new mill and elevator.By the arrangement now sanctioned, Mr.Ogil- vie is to erect a flour mill of 2,000 barrels a day capacity, with an elevator to hold 750,000 bushels, the whole to cost about ,000.The voting was all one way, the poll standing 437 for the bylaw, to 10 against.The by-law is, therefore, carried, by much more than the requisite two-thirds vote.TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT DIVIDEND.Halifax, N.S., Sept.10.\u2014The Nova Sce- tia Steel Company, Linfited, of New Glasgow, has declared a dividend of twenty-four pere=mt.TLis is

forest, which he cou.verted into smiling fields, a happy home for himself and family, and made of it one of the most beautiful and valuable farms in the country.In religion he was a faithful and de

strength, he was unable to attend with his usual regularity.In his life he ex empliled both by precept and example the Christian principles which he professed, and shortly before his death he expressed to his pastor, the Rev.D.Mackenzie, his firm faith and unewearv- ing assurance of a glorious immortality through the merits of his Saviour.For many years he had been a reader of the \u201cWitness,\u201d which had always been a wal- come.guest at his home, as it is at so many of the Glengarry homes, on account of its pure and clean record, parents feeling that they mey safely

part of the county, members attending from all parts to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased.He leaves a family of fiva eons and two daughters, all of whom are comfortably settled in life, and who possess many of the fine qualities of their esteemed father.\u2014\u2014 EFFECT OF THE KIPLING DE.38a FISIONG 20758 New York, Sept.0.\u2014The final decree and Mesers.D.Appleton & Co.,

THE 'GANADA' CUP.Toronto, Sept.11,\u2014It is likely that a moye will soon be mgde towards ringing back the \u2018Canada\u2019s\u2019 cup, which passed into the hands of the Chicago Yacht Club after the \u2018Genesee\u2019s\u2019 vistory aver the \u2018Beaver.\u2019 It is said an geod authority that the syndicate, which built the \u2018Begver\u2019 for the defence of the cup, this year, is in possession of sufficient funds to build 3 third yacht, and that the only thing that prevents them goipg to work at once, is rhe guestion of Skipper Jarvis being able or willing to sail the challenger next year.Mr.Jarvis\u2019s ability as a skipper of a yacht ls unquestioned, and it is said that the syndicate iv anxious to secure his services again, but that he does not view matters x op the sgme

the eup.fhould à challenge be issued, the Chiea- go Club, as hoiders of the cup, has the right to choose the time and place, and number of the races, and also the class in which they are to be sailed.It is-said that the Toronto men, if challenging, would prefer the yachts to be in the 25.class, the same size as the \u2018Beaver\u2019 and vhe \u2018Genesed,\u2019 and it is quito possible that the Chicago yachts- Men would accede to this.In that event Beaver,\u2019 on the one hand, and the \u2018Gene- See on the othar, would serve as excellent test boats for the challenger and the

A FIRE INVESTIGATION, THREATENED COMMITMENT FOR | CONTEMPT OF COURT.\u2014 \u2018An enquiry was held by Coroner Mc- Mihon, at Dorion, last\u201d evening, into a fire which occurred on the night of Bept.7, and which consumed the residences of Mr.Clark, Mr.Percheron.and Dr.\" Ro- dier.The fire started in some unex- residence,\u201d alongside the river.Three witnesses were examined by the coroner: Mr.Clark, Mrs.Robillard, and a +r- vant, Georgine Guthrie, but nothing of importance was adduced.A fourth witness, a boy named John O\u2019Neil, cn being \u2018questioned, previous to being given the oath, as to his religious belief, ve- fused to answer, and as he persisted in this course, the Court proceeded to make out his commitment to jail.Before signing the order, the boy\u2019s employer, Mr.W, D.Aird, was called and informed of the boy's conduct.The cor oner said -that he regretted having to punish the boy, because he felt that he was only acting as he had been instructed -to do, a belief which was strengthen- ed-by the fact of the girl previously examined, also a servant of Mr.Aird\u2019s, having at first taken exactly the same tone.The coroner said that he was left under the impression that Mr.Aird had told the two net to answer the questions asked.= Mr.Aird retorted that F any one who said that told a falsehood, aftd- on this being repeated a second time, by way of reply to a warning from the | Court, the latter was obliged to inform Mr.Aird that be would be committed for -contempt.An apology followed, whereupon Mr.McMahon withdrew the the \u2018same\u2019 sentiments \u2018as\u2019 the two wit: nesses of his house, namely, that the .questioms asked should be strictly about the: fire, and nothing else.© After what had occurred, the boy O'Neil expressed his willihgness td reply to whatever was asked, and was allowed to retain his liberty.As the session had then lasted from eight to 11.30.p.m., an adjournment was made until Monday next.\"GRAIN STANCARDS,

but butter at 20c to 2le has, in previous years, been considered good value.There is certainty a decided falling off in the \u2018make, for receipts are now very much less than during July and August, being only $98 packages to-day.Cheese, however, gives indications: of going so low, that buîter will pay farm ers better prices, in which case heavier: receipts of butter may be looked for.i CHEESE.Co i At Lindsay yesterday 1,573 boxes cheese were sold at 105çc, which gives a break of 1%c from highest figures here and corresponds to a br W of 63 in the English market.No suc break bas occurred, and yet the j1/ice paid probably represenis the full market value.This shows the length to which undue excitement has :carried prices.Sales of -Eastern cheese are reported at 10c in country, which means 3030 te Ment- real.There Is now a fair margin between country and spot values, for Basterns are held at 10%c fo 105%c; and Westerns at 11c to-11%e.It is probable that the reduction in price will put new Ife into the export trade and that the tone of the market w'l becom firmer.Receipts to- -day were 9,431 oxes : CHEESE SALES.Utica, N.Y., Sept.11.\u2014At Little Falls these sales were made : Seven hundred \u2018and fifty-six boxes large and colored at llc: 628 boxes large white at 105c ;

in the name of the Father, and of the Sen, and of the Holy Ghost.Amen.The Bishop then delivered the the words, \u2018Take \u2018hou authority to read] the gospel in the Church of God, and to \"The Rev.L.Foulkes is to take up work in Lakefield, and proceeds at once to his \u2018parish;

secondly, by the programme which a man made for himeelf; or, thirdly, by the will of God.It was not the policy of Satan to atterbpt to directly control the life of eny man; he employed a human agency.The devil did not ask any one now to fall down and worship him; once he had done so, and he never forgot the humi- lation of that occasion.Mankind, then, might be divided into three groups : Thoge who \u2018guided their lives by the opinion of other people\u2014and an awful thing it was the way numbers of people slaved for the man next door; those who made their own programme, or thought | they did, and those who said, We care nothing for the opinion of other people, and we are at the end of our programme, teath us thy way, .O Lord.\u2019 Mr.Morgan spoke of the passion of the human h after perfection, and argued that that law of life was best that ensured perfection of the whole being.Everybody was after perfection, although sometimes they did not like the word when the preachers used it.The spiritual life was also the perfect life, and the man who had had one glimpse of that life, panted after it.But the \u2018speaker said he wanted something more than perfection; he wanted pleasure.God made him for pleasure; he created him with a laughing appare- tus, and meant .him to laugh.Sorrow and sighing were the ministers f today, shaping our destiny; humor and laughter were forever.The two were akin, and the man who od with\u2019 \u2018tHowe who\u2019 wept; but God would\u201d | wipe away all tears; he Would never stop laughter.Jesus Christ struck the keynote of the kingdom in the -\u2018 Heppy\u2019 of the sermon on the mount.The translators kad made it \u2018blessed,\u2019 but this was one of meny Anglo-Saxon words that missed its meaning as the years rolled on.God was love, and his law wae not at variance with his cheracter, but so condi tioned life that it brought forth perfect happiness.© Men talked of regretfully \u2018giving up\u201d What did they need to give up ?-Only those things which, if they kept them, would blight and ruin their lives.Nothing was taken out of our lives that was essentially beautiful and noble and good.God\u2019s will was best, because God was love.etfs MR.MORGAN'S LAST ADDRESS.The Rev.G.Campbell Morgan, of Lon don, whose addresses delivered yesterday at Knox Presbyterian Church are reported in anothèr column, hoids his last meeting in Montreal to-night, in the above church, commencing at 8 o'clock.Mr.Morgan is one of the rising young Congregational ministers of England.Tonight he will finish his series of addresses on \u2018The will of God,\u2019 showing àts practical application to everyday life.From Montreal Mr.Morgan goes to Toronto, where he holds a mission for three .days.Subsequently be will visit Rochester, Sept, 17-19;
