There is need of loving counsel and meekness in such caws, Considering thyselt-Met hen that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" . (I. Cer. 10:12). Lest elltet also be tempted -The apostle exhorts the brethren to put themeelves in the Place of him who were overtaken in a fault, and judge how they would Choose to be dealt with under such circumstances. The sin is not in being tempted, but in yielding to the temptation. 2. Bear ye one another s burdens -There are nohe of es who are exempt from burdens, ana I he apoetle points out a way of relief.

The Christian should reach out a help- ing hand to those who have. fallen a prey to intemperance. Here is an oeportunity to exercise patience and • cbarity. II. Duty to one's self (vs. 3-5). 3. To be oemething-One's duty to himself requiree that he be humble, The gospel everywhere commends humility and condemns self -exaltation and pride, There is danger of relying upon one's strength of will and favorable sur. roundings to escape falling into error. Satan is ever ready to encoura.ge one in his • good opinion of himself and thus prepare the way for a fall. When he is nothing --The apostle leaves no room for boasting on the part of any one, He whet thinks himeelf to be "aernethinge' in that very imagination declares himself to be "nothing." He is without strength to resist the at- tacks of Satan and the hard things ot life. Deceiveth himself -The Greelt word is expressive and means to cheat one's brain.. The one in this contri- tion can never resist to the degree he thinks he can, and he makes him. self contemptible in the sight et others. 4. Prove his own work -The test which we areto apply is the word of God, Through humility, earnest- ness and faith we may bring the truths of the scripture to bear upen as a test. In doing this a man will not think more highly of himself than he ought to think (Rom. 12: 3). Re- joicIng in himself -He who has a .consciousness that he conforms to the word of God, and who, in his efforts to .restore thoee overtaken in faults. manifests a spirit of meeknese, is ble.ssed with a joy divinely iniplanted in his soul. Not hi another -The genuine Christian has received from God deliverance from ein. He possesses tho kingdom of God, which as "righte- eueness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Rom. 14:17). He is not dependent %ion others for his joy, altbaugh he rejoiees with tho ee who redoice. 5. Shall bear his own burden -This is not a contradiction of v. 2, There is aft important sense in which one can assist another to bear his burdens. However, there are burdene that can not be shifted from one to another. He who tries to escape the burden that belonge to hlm els. obeying the Lord's command; and is losing the divine approval. III..

It Is thought by some that this refer to temPoral seaport. The idea et pereonal responsibility runs all through this lesson. 7.

The great things were the revelation of Jens Christ that came to him, the transformation of his moral nature and life, the fellowship weich he had with the Father through San and the hope of a, glorloas Ime reeetality.

We eave here Presented tite Christian's vocation, The measure of opportunity fixes the measure of responsibility. The work of the Christian reeolves it- self into the work of restoring the er- ring. It is the most delicate form of philanthropy to deal with a brother's sins. It requires an, absence of self - exaltation. It calls for self -humiliation and gentle dealing, The law of Christ is the law of universal love. It re- quIres every man to be intereeted in ether man and his difficultien. It is a .aw of compassion, universal, continu- ous, adequate, vital, active. It changes tern necessity into sacred duty. It teauires a sympathy which overcomee evil and strengthengood.. It is the law of co-o.peration, of mutual duty. Relationships to one another, with the possession, of advantages and talents, involve manifold responsibilitiers. This law forbids all moral indifference to others, all severity •and uneeceseary censure. No one can fulfil the spirit of the law of .Christ who does not dwell in the spirit of love. It must be a liv- ing principle and persistent habit, di- vinely begotten and sustained. The apeetle was cautioning the Galatians against a vainglorious disposition ut- lerly inconsistent with the possession at genuine Christianity. He was bring: Jag before them the true standard of eliaracter, urgingthem to be seriously zoneerned about ascertaining their real condition before God, and to avoihj the habit of measuring otaeir own goodness by the lack of goodneee in others. He urged that conceit was fatal to the duty of burden -bearing, that the greatest of all delusions wee that which men voluntarily .practised upon themselves.

London, june .3) --As if by a given signal the British and German cene sors title afternoon simultaneously lifted the lid which for 24 hours had painstakingly hidden from the world the greatest event of the war. Both in Berlin a,nd London brief concise Achniralty statements were released announcing that the thing that has been uppermost in everybody's imag- ination sine the outbreak of the war had finally come to pass -the Ger- man and British high seas fleets had clashed in open battle. On the afternoon of May alt -last Wednesday -it appears, a powerful squadron of the German bigh seas fleet, the largest and strongest that has' yet ventured out into the open, met, either by design or accident, a large body of the British battle fleet, and there ensued, in point of armor and guns, the most terrific sea fight of history. As yet the news officially given out is meagre and sheds only a dim light upon what actually occurred, but these facts have been positively established by the German and Brit - Leh Admiralty heads, The 13ritish admit the loss of six warships and eight destroyers. The Germans admit the loss of bne battle- ship,one third-class cruiser and sev- eral torpedo boat. They admit fur- ther that one protected cruiser is missing. The German Admiralty claims that the British lost six war- ships, including the • super -Dread- nought Warspite, of the Queen Eliza- beth class -27,500 tons, and many destroyers and one submarine, and that one battleship, the 'Marlborough, was seriously .damaged.. , GERMANY LOST SEVEN. The British Admiralty, in the other hand, denies the lost of the Warspite or any battleship and asserts the Germans lost one Dreadnought bat- tleship of the Kaiser clase-one of the newest type of German warships, of 24,700 tons -one battle cruiser of the modern Doerflinger class, one light cruiser, six destroyers and one submarine, It is further claimed that another Dreadnought of the Kaiser class was blown up, a third is believed to have been sunk by gun- fire, one battle cruiser disabled and forced to stop, and a. third seriously damaged, and "at least" two German. craiseas ambled.

BATTLE LASTED TWELVE HOURS. From the Gertuan account it ap- pears that the battle lasted More than Moire hours. It extended, one is in- clined to believe hero„ from the area around Heligdand all the way up to the Skeger Rack, the Noah Sea arra between Norway and Sweden, no German fleet, it is assumed, came from its base at Kiel through the Kaiser Williehn Canal, putting into see from Brunnsbuettel, the North Sea outlet of that waterway. Not many miles to the north lien the Isle of Sylt, the base of the German seaplanes and possibly of Zeppelins. It was here that an engament was fought between British and German cruisers and tor- pedo craft two months ago as, the result • of a British raid on. the hangars. One of the chief duties of the ;we - planes on Sylt, when they are not Making raids on England, is to "look out for the British fleet." It is liitele that the approach of the British naval forces on Wednesday was "tipped off' by these patrolling eeaplanes, and that the Germans, seizing cpon this chance, went out forthwith to make the test so long awaited, by the world. There' are also evidences of Zep- Penns baying served tee Germans as the "eyes et the flea," a servree for which therprbVed well qualitied dur- ing the last cruiser attack off Lowes- toft. CAUSE OF WHOLE FIGHT, , The Copenhagen eorrespOndent of the Daily News telegraphs: "The Danish steamer Fjord, which has arrived at Frederikshaven from Leith, wa.s the cause of tbe whole fight, While steaming about 4 o'clock off North-west Jutland she was stop- ped by a German torpedo boat, whose chief came aboard and examined her papers, While this was proceeding four British destroyers were observed on the horizon coming toward the German vessel. The German chief and his men hurried to their torpedo boat and left at full speed, The Fjord del the same. Within a few minutes the British began firin.g• at the German vessel and kept up the 'chase for a while. Later the Fjord passed four German cruisers and 30 torpedo boats steering at full speed in the direction of teto scene of battle. The Fjord heard the cautionade for over four hours while going east around the Skew. "The Norwegian steamer Elriekka, from England, also heard the cannon- ade, but did not see the fighting. The cannonade was first heard going west toward Scotland, then going east. "From the west coast of. Jutland fhe ing was reported during the night to. wards the south, Windows shook on the shore. On Thursday morning a Zeppelin was observed en a wrecked condition, as was reported from a Danish lighthouse. The German de- stroyer Lindvig was seen Thursday morning, evidently badly wrecked, Another German destroyer arrived later and took her in tow." e' ZEPPELINS TOOK PART. • A Copenhagen despatch yesterday reported that a Zeppelin had been sighted' ever the, Danish island ot Fence in a damaged condition, -flying over Dentnark in the direction ot Schleswig. That submarines played an import ant part, nerhanS on the German side the most important, in the North Sea fight was generale, believed here to. night. Some naval experts even went 841 far as to attribute the German successes almost exclusively to the participation of a strong squadron. of U -,beats. It is pointed out in thie connection that loth. Admiralties elaini the destruction of a hostile sub. marine In the fight, And the German =mint mentions especially that the Marlborough was struck by a torpedo. Further strength is lent to this theory by the statement in the British Admiralty's account that the Ger -- mans "aVolded prolonged action and accomplished he results by a quick thrust" and withdrawal, In no bet- ter waY could euch a "quick thrust" be undertaken, it is argued by naval crities, than bY the decoying of the British fleet through German cruisera type of submariees. A simultaneous wholesale dropping of bombs by Zeta penes Would be a tnoet effective fine letting touch to Stich a method Of hopelessly "rattling" the hostile units. That there was considerable contu- siou antong the 13r1tish fleet is ode dent from both Admiralty Statements. The theory that the Gentians for the first time brought into play the mucleheralited naval "surprise." a MySterioaS new gun of unprecedeeted range, also was advaneed freely here to night, though it is doubted in Some quarters whether such guns would lutve been placed en the cruis- • ers mentioned in the German report, all of an old type, To -night's an- nottacement by the British Admiralty, mentioning the Kaiser class, lends more strength to the theoty, bowever, Ito this elase is es:imperatively new and well suited to itnproventents melt as have been reported fienn Gen= sources, HAS NEVEM )311EN nquALTIED.

' BRITISH PRESS CALL BATTLE A GERMAN DEFEAT Enemy's Plight When Main British Fleet Came On So Proves It. BUT A HEAVY BLOW New Naval Policy Comes in for Hard Raps From Some Papers.. London Cable says -The morning newspapers, while admitting the seri- ous nature of the Bride?, loss in the naval battle off autlaxtd, uniformly insist that the battle cannot possibly have any adverse effect on the naval situation. Most editorials, Moreover, declare that in its •ultimate effect the battle must rank as a British victory, owing to the arrival of the 13ritish main tieet on the scene of actioa. The Daily Chronicle's naval expert says; "It is quite clear that the mein German fleet was trying tocome out, and that our battle cruisers Intercept- ed them and held them up, and that they finally were forced to return to port. In other words, Admiral Jane coe's grand fleet came up after our battle cruisers had held the enemy, .and tee enemy retired. The German fleet admitted its inability to meet our grand fleet, and is as securely locked up, despite its SacCess, at it was be- fore.

Lowestoft on May 8 A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Admiralty, distiaelY foreshadowed a change of naval poliey. It was not specified but oue gathered that in future We would not • wait for =only warships to make a runaway bombardment of an east coast town and endeavor to later- cept them on their return. "Can it be that the very unsatis- factory battle off the Danish coast is the result? If so, the uew policy • stands condemned. Exclusively naval considerations would never have in- duced the commander to send aa in. ferior force almost within sight of the enemy coast, enabling it to be taken in detail by the full force of the enemy before our own big battle- ships could reach the scene. Nothing but harm can result when naval Stra- tegy and tactics are allowed to lea overborne by civilian craving for the spectacular or deflected by entitle political influehees. A.dmiral Jellicoe and his staff should be left untram- melle(l to make their own plans and elaborate their own policy. We 001) trust them absolutely to do what ie right and wise." .0 itillatto` tetteete.,. TORONTO MARKETS •FARMERS' MARICET.

Carson, ,TO WET AT OBE Six Orange 'Ulster Counties to be Excluded Till After the War, (BY Times Special Wire). New 'York, June 5.-A special =bid to the World from. London says: The World correspondent re- ceived last night front an an- thentie source the outline of the set- tlement tentatively agreed on between Sir Edward Careen and John Red- . mond, which Carson is to submit to Itis follatvere at Belfast on Tuesday. Under its tame a Home Rule Par- liament will be immediately set up hi Dublin, three southern Irish provincee, arid also the three Ulster countiee of Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, the remaining six Uleter counties to con- tinue under the British Parliament until the end of the wstr, when the question of these excluded counties will be reconsidered. In order that the Nationalists may be in no worse position whea the time for this reconsideration comes, It is propceed that the whole Irish re - Presentation in the British. Parliament remain during the interval at • its present strength. Itt other word, the Nationalists, while gettiug Home Rule at once for five -sixths of Ireland, would be in exactly the sante position after the war to fight for the remain- ing aixth as they are at present. . In pursuance of the policy of avoiding general elections during the war, the Irish Parliament le to consist of the Present representatives for the area coming under its jurisdietion, an arrangement which will have the cur- ious effect that Carson and Campbell, the present Irish Attorney -General, will be the only Unioniste included in the Dublin Legislature. Reports from Belfast state that Col. Craig, who went over last week as ad- vance agent for Carson, found it meet difficult to get the local Orange leaders even to look at the terms *pro- pocied, they liolding there must be an unconditional exelusioe of all 'Ulster, but they are how said to adopt a more chasteneed attitude, and it is hoped Carson will succeed in taking them over on Tuesday, The Ulster Nationalists, for their Part, are most reluctant to allow any portion of the Province to be excluded, but the best opinion of both sides is that once Home Rule is in operation the force or circumstances will cause even the bitterest Orangemen to de- cide to throw in their lot with the rest of the' country. U. S. TROOPS WILL REMAIN Force in Mexico to Stay Till Carranza is Strong And Shows His Ability to Control Country. Washington Report -It was stated authoritatively to-daet that American troops will not be withdrawn from Mexico until the Carranza authorities demonstrate control of the situation sufficient to protect • the American border. .A. reply to that effect prob- ably will be made to General Car- ranza's note. President Wilson was represented to -day as ready to with- • draw the troops when possible, but determined to wait until the Carranza forces can control the situation, President Wilkie and Secretary of State Lansing to -day took up consid- eration of General Carranza's latest note. The document contained the threat of armed resistance unless Ante erican troops are withdrawn, from Mexico, and charged inconsistency on the part of the United States in pro- testing friendship for Mexico- while maintaining within her border an armed force which Carranza consid- ers unnecessary.
