AN ACTI-IOPIPATIVE TEACHER.
Now, iny friends, as gospel stud-
ents, are you ready to accept Jesus
Christ as an authoritative teacher?
Are you .ready to accept him as the
Son of God? A few -weeks 'ago a
gentlemem. wrote to a friend of
mine a pathetic letter, which went
something like this: "Oh, why do the
ministers keep on preaching upon
-useless and impractical subjects? Why
do they not preach upon some of
the vital questions of the soul? A
short time ago Alm doctors told me
that within six mouths I must die.
What I want to krfow is how I can
straighten out a wasted life so as to
meet my God," 'Well, my brother,
if these words should ever be seen by
a -our eye or repeated to your ear,

If any object to the words in verse

being applicable to Christ, it may in-

Horseley translates the passage,
"When guilt is laid „upon him," and
Dr. Clarke reads it, "In suffering for
iniquity." It is Christ, according to
Isa. line, suffering for Israol's and.
for our sins. Biehop norsoley trans-
lates the last clause of verse 19,
"And this is the arrangement about
the Man." Luther has written opon
this verse: "Thou speakest of an.

WINDSOR FOR IRELAND,
Rumor of the Possibility of a
Royal Residence.
Although little has been said on
the subject it is understood that the
King's intention is at an early date
to consider the question of a royol
hesitlence in Ireland. :When in Ire-
land he was greatly struck with the
beautiful surroundings of the estate
of ICylemore Castle, in Galway,
which has been suggested as a royal
residence. This is the biggest of all
the great Irish homes, and is quite a
modern house, having boort built
about twenty years ago by IVIr. Mit-
chell Henry, a wealthy 'Yorkshire
manufacturer, who sat for an Irish
constituency as a Liberal.
, A vast fortune was sunk in the
building of ICylemore, and some idea
of its extent ina,y be -gathered fironi
the fact that there are 200 bedrooms
in the house. The grounds cover
thousands of acres, and although not.
in view of the sea is within a mile
or two of the coast.
The castle has reniained uhtena,ted
and neglected 100 7514337 years, and
the inan who builttlit hardly- enjoyed
it. He had made in the grounds
two largo lakes in which tall foun-
tains play, and in one ,of these the
only daughter of -the house was' ac-
cidentally drowned while gathering
water lilies. Prom that day Mr.
Mitchell 1-lenry lived in London at
Stratheden I-touse, Knightsbridge.
No suitable tenant was found for
the property although it has been
"to let" for the last decade. The
King drove through. a 'Portion of the
grounds' while in Galway, and
pressed admiration for the beauty of
be spot and the wild splendour of
the sitilation
