a • world, (Acts xv, 38). He declareth
the end from the.begiuning and doeth
according to His will both in heaven
and on earth, turning the king's heart
t whithersoever He will (Isa. xlvi, 10;
, Dan. iv, 35; Ps. cxxxv, 6; Prey.
xxl, 1). So it came to pass that the
world ruler's deeree was wed by the
Lord of all the earth to fulfill His per -
Pose and to cause the Prince of the
kings of the earth, the King of kings
and the Lord of lords to be bona at the
long before appointed time and place.
But so out of harmony' with Clod le
this world which He ;mule and the
people who inhabit it that there was
no room for the Creator In the world
which He had made and no welcome
for Him. "There was no room for
them in the inn" (verse 7). Does the
thought of it lead you to say, "Oh,
come to my heart, Lord Jesus -there
is room in my heart for Thee?" If so
then you may rejoice in the comfort
of John 1, 12; Rev. iii, 20.
The story of the shepherds takes tia
back to Abel and to Moses and David

Hon. F. D. Monk declared that $4,-

salary for an official of the statding
of Col. Anderson. No later than next
session, a definite plan of remunera-
tion of departmental engineers would
be laid before the House.
Hon. J. D. Hazen declared that Col.

ister of Marine, Hon. L. P. Brodeur,

spent, the day is at hand, and the time
for our new bodies and the redemp-
tion of Israel is ever drawing nearer
(Rom. xiii, 11, 12; Luke xxl, 28). The
shepherds were doing just as they had
alwaye done, • watching over • their
flocks, when the angel of the Lord
came suddenly upon them, and. the
glory of the Lord shone round about
them (verse 9). Moses and David and
Amos were keeping their flocks, Elisha
was plowing. Peter and John and oth-
ers at their nets, Matthew at the re-
ceipt of custom, when the special call
came to them. It is required Of some
that they leave their lormer calling
and of others. that they continue where
they • were and therein abide with
God (I Cor. vii, 23, 24). Note the
visits of the Lord to such lowly peo-
ple as ,Hagar, Manoah and his wife,
Gideon and others and in Ise. lvii,
15, His two dwelling places. To Zach-
arias and Mary and the shepherds'
there was. given the heavenly "Fear
not" (verse 10; i, 13, 30). It was also
the angel's message on the reeurrec-
tion morning (Matt. 'xxviii, 5). • How
can we explain our slowness to tell to
all people the good tidings of great
joy? Is it because the tidings have
never brought us the joy unspeakable
of I Pet. i, 8? The lepers of II Kings
vil, 8, 9, put us to- shame. • What can
we say to Christ? Suddenly a multi-
tude of the heavenly host is heard by
the shepherds saying, "Glory to God

Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that in the song of Rev. v, 9, 10.
The Lord Jesus in all His life on
earth never sought His own glory nor
His own will, and it must have been
with joy that He said to His Father In
His great prayer, "I have glorified
Thee on the earth" (John vi, 33- viii,
50; xvii, 4). Our motto should be
"that God in all things may be
glorified" (I Pet. iv, 11; I Cor. r,
31). When the Lord Jesus shalt 'lave
become the peace of Israel and shall
have spoken peace to the nations
through Israel then quickly shall the
whole earth be filled with the glo-
ry of the Lord (Mic. v, 5; Zech. 11,
HOOTING PAINS IN 10; Num. xiv, 21). His people shall
be willing in the day of His power
• SIDE ARMS BACK
(Ps. ex, 3). The angels, having ex-
ecuted their commission, went away
into heaven; simply went home. How
easy it sounds, how wonderful and
glorious it is, that we have ever with
us these ministering ones who behold
the face of our Father in heaven
(Hen n 14; Matt. xviii, 10). The
shepherds did not seem to question
for one moment the good news they
had heard, and they considered the an-
gels as the Lord's messengers, for
they said, "Let as now go even unto
Bethlehera and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord bath
made known unto us" (verse 15), They
did not delay, but made haste. and

Much Treasure Moved,
New York, Jan. 12. -Between. $300,-
000,000 and 41400p0,o00 in 'cash and ge-
cu.rities was removed intact late yes-
terday, from the vaults of two ,of the
4nanica1 institutions whose quarters
were destroyed in the great nee that
gutted the Equitable Life Assurance
Society building on Tuesday. • The
vaults of the Equitable Trust 00,
alone yielded $300,000,000, mostly se-
eUrities held under corporate and in-
dividual trusteeship. These were trans-
ferred under an wort of police to the
company's temporary offices, further
from Broadway.
There remains yet to be opened the
great vault of the Equitable Assur-
ance Society itself, with its treasure
of $300,000,000.

B. C. May Build Line,
Vancouver, Jan. 12.-A railway run-
ning north and south through British
Columbia, intended primarily to open
the great Peace River prairies, is the
ehief question for legislative action
for the session of the British Columbia
Parliament, which opened at Victoria
yesterday. ,
At this session the plan is to ar-
range for a line nearly 1,000 miles in
length to connect Vancouver with the
eich agricultural lands of northern
British Columbia. But an advance
may be made on any previous West-
ern Canada legislation in that the
new line may be built and operated
by the Government.
The Canadian Pacific has already
filed plans for terminals -at North
Vancouver, which would be the south-
ern end of a Peace River line.
Miners Favor Strike,
London, Jan. 12. -The voting of the
coal miners in all the districts
throughout the 'United Kingdom shows
an enormous majority in favor of a
strike. and there isevery indication
that the needful two-thirds nnajority
will be obtained. Previous expefience
in similar ballots, however, has
shown a considerable waning ef en-
thusiasm after the first day),s' Voting.
Hence it would be rash to predict
that a strike will be voted, and strong
influences are being exerted on both
sides to avoid a conflict.
The ballot is to decide whether no-
tice shall be given of a national
strike, to begin on March 1. The men
demand a fixed minimum wage. The
readers of the Miners' Federation are
opposed tolethe.movement.

I hiatus my career as a revolution,

I became known as a government
agent to assure my comrades that I
was working a deep laid scheme in the
Interest of the revolution
I laid a plea which I felt sure would
give me the entire confidence of the
minister. I told him that I had dis-
covered the meeting place of a circle
whose members were conspiring to
assassinate him. My intention was to
have him send a force to arrest the
circle, of which I was a member, while
they were in session. But I intended
that the force should arrive after the
meeting had broken up. At the proper
moment I would announce to the circle
that I was a pretended spy for the
government and inform them of the
plan I had latd. They would disperse,

but nothing to incriminate any one of
them.
Tt was a hazardous scheme, but I
felt that if it were successful it would
give me a footing with the govern-
ment on which to found a still greater
benefit to the revolution. But I dare
not tell the members of the circle be-
forehand what I was about to do, for
I was not sure but that some one of
them was a government spy. such as
pretended to be. Such things now
and then occurred.
On a certain day I told the minister
that the revolutionary body whose
members were conspiring to assassi-
nate him would meet at a certain
place at 11 o'clock at night If he
would send a force there at half past
11 he would capture them. The meet-
ing hour was really 10 o'clock, and I
intended by 11 to have warned my
associates. I charged the minister to
have the force at the meeting place at
the exact hour and minute 1 had given
him. else the plan would go amiss.
And so it would. but for the circle in-
stead of the government.
Though by keeping tbe matter a se-
cret from my o air a ti e S till the last
moment I 'headed off any one of the
members who might be a government
spy, there was another danger. but it
did tiot occur to rno. Suppose one of
onr number should secretly be playing
the same game I was.
Our terele met at the appointed hour,
10 u'elaeli. I welted anxiously for Or-
loff to 'ome in. since if my echeme
should roast upon me my life would
depend epon file evidence. But the
president railed the circle to order, and
Orloff had not arrived. Half an hour
elapsed while we were in session, and
still he did not come. Then suddenly
something happened which filled me
with eonsternatiou. Peter Vronsky,
one of the circle, tame in hurriedly
and said:
"We are betrayed."
Every man started from his seat,.
but the president directed that we re.
main where tve were.
"By whom?" he asked.
"One of our nutnber„"
"Which one?"
"I do not know."

Immediately a great change came
over every one present.
"Enough!" exclaimed the president.
"Our ruse has been successful." Look-
ing at bis watch be added, "We still
have an hour to get away, and before
we go it behooves us to make way
with the traitor." Then addressing
me: "Yronsky. who has been pretend-
ing to be a government spy, learned
this morning. that some one of our
number bad betrayed us, and we were
o be arrested tonight at half past 1:t
o'clock. Since he did not learn the
name of the informer we adopted
ruse to discover him. This man wild
has made the arrest is Schietlieff, one
of our number, and those in the hall
are other members of our circle."
Schierlieff pulled off a false beard,
and I recognized him at once.
"Comrades," continued the president,
"it is necessary to put the traitor out
of the way at once, for we must leave
this place within a very short time.
We will draw lots as to which one of
as shall stab him to the heart, a
method of execution that will be with-
out noise and attract no attention."
But one person could interpose be-
tween me and death -that was Orloff.
Why be was not at the meeting I load*
not I had charged hirn to be there;
but had not told him why it was es-
sential. I hurriedly told the circle ev-
ery circumstance that had led me into
my present position, but not one of
them believed a word I said.
"If this is true," cried oue of them,
"you are at least a fool not to have
made some arrangement by which you
could prove your case. And a fool
among us is as much to be feared as
a traitor,"
"Orloff's my confederate," I said,
and Aend for him."
"We hare tiot tinie.`'‘ElefOre heo

"Come," said the president, "prepare

The secretary hurriedly scratched
the name of every man present on a
separate piece of paper, and they were
placed in a hat Then I was required
to draw the name of my executioner.
I put my hand in automatically, for
It seemed that the currents a my feel-
ings neutre<ized one another, and drew'
out one of the slips. The president
seized it and read out a name, but
was too overcome to hear what it was.
I saw my executioner take off his coat
and roll up his shirt sleeves. Then
one of the circle handed him a long
dagger. I was seized by two others,
led to one end a the room and turned
about. I sew as if in a haze my ex-

There was a sound of footsteps with-

Orloff strolled in leisurely. Seeing me
standing where I was and one et the
circle advancing toward me holding a
knife in his hand while the others
looked on, some 'vengeful, otbere
shrinkingly, Orloff's face took on an
expreesion of surprise.
"Orloff." I cried, "save me!"
"Hold!" said the president to the ex-
ecutioner. Then to Orloff, "Are you a
