A case is shortly to be head in Lon- don, in which Mr. George Ward, of Resent. Ohio, an Euglislunaun by birth, claims to be heir to an estate valued at over 8500,000. The solicitor who has charge of his interests got to hear of him on account of a whipping tie re- ceived at the hands of some irate wo- men. who alleged that he had been til- Ireating his wife. Sintiler instance of fortunes founded on floggings are not altogether rare. One of the trod -known, perhaps, is that of John \lagee. the American nwlti-mil- Itenaire. who received 8300,0A0 from Ute Guatemalan (',ovenunent as compensa- tion for stxty lashes Illegally inflicted on him by the Heade of Sat Jose, while he (Magee) was acting as British ('..insular agent there. With this sum he built a wharf and a blank, slatted trading In nitrates, and diel a few years ago worth nearly R75.011ne4X). Curiously enough, too, a one -lime part- ner of Magee's, the well-known Patrick J.

It Calls Men to Enter the Heaven That Awaits Them Now. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." -Mark xvi., 15. \Vitale • • is this good «� n to bedtclar- e t to all men \\'tial message has Christianity that sten might be expect- ed to receive with rejoicing? Certainly tttr• world semis to be laking the gap! tdutgs in a cairn manner. Se fur from receiving lgit will► the eagernessess such a nteisage might be expected to arouse, it seems 1u be necessary to urge them le hour it with patience. There must be a good reason fur this. You cant;ol blanc. the willfulness of hu- nt:alily. If the gospel really is good news they will receive it with joy. Per- haps the reason is that the declaration has emitted some part of the message which is essential to its attractiveness. 1: is worth while to ask why to -day the multitude does not manifest tete hunger kr the Christian message which they showed when it was declared by its first Great Teacher. In some instances the reason Ls seen in the fact that the gospel et joy has been %teetered in an accent of mourn- ing. You cannot persuade people that e'en have glad tidings when you pro- c!eiun them with groaning. In other tsetses the people have been deceived .y those who have promised them the pure, unadulterated, and ONLY EFFICACIOUS GOSPEL snd have delivered to then( either child- ise superstitions or barren philosophies. • When a Ivan is perishing for bread !.e is not likely to receive with any special joy the gift of a cookbook. The pulpit has been attempting to feed a hungry world with speculations about the Bread of Life. Processes and the- ories of salvation have been preached instead of declaring the simple fact :?- self. When a man is lost he will not thank you for halting his search for the right read while you explain to Olin how, on condition of the exercise of his cre- dulity he may be legally, though not yet actually. found again. Ile cares lit- tle for his legal standing just then; he wants the road back, the sight of Koine, lite touch of the hand of kin; nothing; short of this will satisfy him. hearted,hope- less, 's i a r_ When ratan broken d k'ss, ashamed, and Idled with fear un rt n► arse, he needs something more then an i,it•ilaltion to be good.

'•a c t ele.l invitation; it was u declaration, a revelation of� man to himself ,tied et God to man. It was the good news pant man Is the loved child of the Moat High, not that he might be on certain conditions, but teal he is, and that no amount ofwan- dering or wilfulness, no severance ef time or distance ever could make ►tint any other than a child of If1S HEAVENLY FATHER. ,Fcolish, faultless, despising his birth- right, and losing the joys of !tome, he may be; but still he is a ?son and the k•ve of the Father broods over hlin. The glad tidings cold of the heart et equal and infinite love and wisdom at the centre ef all hoeing. It overthrew the philosophy which based religion • n fear, on the apprehension of the do- nlillallce of evil and muliclous spirits• and put love and light, tenderness, jus - lice, and inercy in their place.

Based on the text of the Revised Ver- sion. Contents of Deuteronomy in Outline. - Our lesson passage for last Sunday was part of nn introductory exhortation cov- ering chapters 5-11 inclusive. This hor- tatory inlroxluclion Ls followed in chap- terc 12-26 and chapter 28 by specie laws, which constitute the main body of the book. !toughly speaking, these laws may be classified as relating (1) to reit- ginous (12-16), (2) to civil (17-20. and i3) to social (21-25) life. The civil and social laws are, of course, based upon the religious. In the first of these scclinns will be found laws providing for the centralization of worship at one sanc- tuary and the abolishment of local places of worship, the ritualistic distinc- tions between clean and unclean ani- mals, the commandments relating to tithes and those providing for generous treatment of the poor and slaves, and also the regulations touching the annual pilgrimages In celebration of the Pns.s- over, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast et Booths or 'Tabernacles. Under the second division are ttie provisions for the nd►ninlstratbn of justice: at one su- preme central tribunal. The duties of the king nre defined, as well ns those of the Levites and members of the pro- phetic order. Certain specific laws con- cerning homicide. murder. and false witness. and special regulations govern - in„ the usages of war. are included. Tine third section deals with vnrkms phases el domestic and social life. The address of Wefts ends with n very Intpret.ive peroration, in which Jehovah's blessings art again promised in the event of obe- dtence, while the disaster to- follow as 1 ,e penally of disnbediencc'is elaborated itt great detail. Chapters 2t) and 30 are supplementary in character to what has Weedy preceded. In chnpler 31 the nor - relive is resumed and the parting worsts of Moses to the people and to his suc- cessor Joshua are reworded. the latter receiving his divine commission. This chnpler also nentatns the preface to the exquisite poem known as the "Song of Motes." which Cteutinues Ihneugh the greater part el chapter 32, and which celebrates in strong and lenutifal lan- gi,nge the kindness and faithfulness of r J(hm•ah to his ungrateful nnd apostate people.

In which he referred to the practice of harakiri. Ile said in pert : "A soldier may die in lite battlefield for the sake of duly, not for the sake of personal honor. Ile shall not cornluft hcrakiri just because he has no means or defence Against his enemy. he will (lo well Lo CU11S„ tC hi:useif With the idea that he is sent lo the enemy:, country r.'. a sluelent. to he of further service in future k1 his country." His reasons were right, if his 'liter- nnees were not judiciously :untie.
