an open assault because of the many

in hearty sympathy with Jesus. They

occasion to put Jettae to death without
causing any geeeral excitement or op-

the Jews to punish criminals on public
feast days, in order that the act Wight
be witnessed by as many as possible
for the effect upon the people. In this
case, however, they feared to have the
execution public, for many of the peo-
ple were friendly to Jesus,

PRACTICAL SURVEY, .
Tople.-A memorable occlusion.
T. Of unparalleled distinction. •
II. Of unparalleled duplicity.
I. Of unparalleled • distinction. "Mary
anuciated Jesus as the Sovereign of her
heart, the King of her soul, the Lord
of her life, fite Messiah oe the nation
and the Saviour of men," Her action
was deePlY sYMbolical. It Was the
gospel in figure. In it Jesus saW
symbolized the greater offering He was
about to make, prompted by a deeper
love titan hers. He distinctly foresaw
the great pregress which the gospel
would soon make in the world. To
Mary that. act Was a most delightful
exercise; to the disciples a m.ost
portaat lesson; to Christ a moat grati-
fying deed, and to the world most
beaeficial teaching. Mary alone grasp-
ed the thought that Christ's earthly
ministry was drawing to a close. She
had sat at his feet and had divined
his teaching More deeply than his
chosen disciples had done. They did
not understand her act until Chriat
lifted it into the light of truth. It was
not the intrinsto value of the ointment,
but the tnought which went with it
that gave it significance, and -avoided
the majesty and substance of true love
as offered and aceepted. Mary's net
bespoke her earnestness. It demon-
strated the deep and tender attach-
ment of her soul which yearned to
'lavish her ell upon him. It represented
deep assert feeling, loyalty and conse-
cration. Her love reached- the hidden
truth of things, before the things them-
selves had been revealed. Hers was
love overflowing with gratitude ex-
alted by reverence. It was holy love.
Her devotion was original, fearless
and. unmindful of criticism. . To„ the
eye whicli searches all atearta it was
noble, august and important. Jesus
Omit, and powerfully asserted her
superior worth of tae heart's deepest
feeling over any outwai.d. acts; making
the whole spiritual meaning of gifts -
consist in the disposition of the giver.
He perfectly understood and approved
Mery's motive, and therefore was
pleased with her offering. ale looked
on her with loving approver and threw
around her the shield of his deeence.
Her act of instinctive faith and love.
of obedience and loyalty were of More
value than prudence and circulation.
It was defendedeas more • oeportune

PREMIER WHITNEY
P 5SES
SIR JAMES WHITNEY,
Toronto, Sept. 26. -Sir Whit-
ney, Primo Minister of Ontario, dice,
unexpectedly at hie residence. 113 St
Georgo street, about 12 o'clock noon
yesterday. Following an ilinesa that
became serious about one year ago
and continued with varying ;severity
throughout the winter, umnifeeting It-
self again a few weeks ago, the (ma
came esterclay, when - the Premier
succumbed to• an attack of cerebral
hemorrhage, 'This is the official an-
nouncement contained in a bulletin is•
sued by Dr, H. J. Hamilton, the Pre -
ruler's medical adviser.
The last ilinese of Sir James Whit-
ney dates, from shortly atter the elee-'
tion in june. The Premier had stat-
ed his intention of tektite, a prolonged
rest during July and August, wale,
out indicating that he youid leave
the etty. VIM of this, abeence
from his office tor a few days Witi4 not
re,garded as significant, until it was
heard that he had :suffered a relapse,
end was confined to his room. His
condition remained 'without muelt
cletngo for some weeks, although it
was known he was under constant
attention, and the recarrings periods
ot depression and other symptoms
did not permit the doctors to hold out
any great promise of recovery to his
old-time vigor. With these ehanging
periods lie came to Tuesday lest,
when he was unusually bright, but
.this was followed by a reaction ex-
tending over the succeeding- days
which was never really dissipated.
, The news of his death came to
the public, and even to the mem-
bers . or tue Government, - as a
great shock. The Cabinet had
been called to meet, as usual, at
12 o'clock, and the Ministers had
harpy gathered, when Mr. Horace
Wallis, the Premier's Secretary, ar-
rived with the news that Sir James
had been suddenly stricken, and Dr.
Pyne, who was presiding over - the
meeting, left hurriedly for the Preen-
ler's hoes°. He arrived at about
twelve minutes past noon, and found
Dr. Hamilton already in attendance.
Both physicians 'Saw at a' Maitre thet
the dietinguished patient heti been
((cite for some minutes.
Dr. Hamilton said that on Tuesday
late Sir James had been exceedingly
bright, and talked eagerly about puli-
te) matters: The last couple of days he
did not SeeM quite eo well. "I saw• him •
as usual early yesterday morning.,"
:laid Dr. Hamilton, "and there yes no
indication whatever of what took
place later."
It appears that Sir jamea bad
arisen from bee and was walking
around his room. clad enly in a ems --
fug gown, when the seizure came.
De woe helped to his lied by Lady -
'Whitney and the nurse, and thee°,
along with Miss Whitney. were the
only persone present when he expired.
CABINET STILL HOLDS OF'FICE.
Wben the sad news -reached the
Parliament Buildings all businees
Wwl suspended temporarily, and the
Ministers at once consulted as to
the procedure under the cireure-
stanees, air James being. the first
Provincial Premier le Sae in office,
there were no Ontario precedents.
while the prectice followed in Ot-
tawa and in England. did not seem to
barmonive with the provisions of the
Ontario statute. It was a moot ques-
tion whether the Catenet dis.solved
with the death of the Prime Minieter,
as in the case in Itingland, or the Min-
isters hold office during Die interreg-
num until a new Premier Ines been
called. The legal authorities at the
Parliament Buildings differed mare
or less, 'with the weight of (minion
anparently being in favor of tho Min-
isters retaining offiee. "We are still
holding Office," said Hon. R. A. Pyne,
in resPonS0 to a question on that
point, "and will continee to do busi-
nese."
"Has the Lieutenant -Governor takeu
any action?"
"Ne, beyoria asking us to go on with
everything as If nothing had hap-
pened," was the reply.
"Are you still a Cabinet?" Hon. L
13. Lucas was asked,

Province.
Toronto, Sept, U. -Lieut. -Col, Hon
J. S. Dendrie, of Hamilton, up till
this time Minister without portfolio
in the Cabinet of Sir James Whitney,
has been Appointed Lieutenant -Gover-
nor of Ontario in succession to Sir
John Gibson. This fact, generally ac-
cepted as a foregone conclusion, be-
came a reality on Saturday afternoon,
when tbe necessary order-in-Chuncil
making the appointment was an-
nounced at Ottawa, Although he was
at the Parliament buildings on Sat-
urday and took part in the Cabinet
meeting, no hint was given that Col.
Hendrie was about to retire from the
Governmente nor bas he yet been
sworn in. it is understood that the
administration of the official oaths
will take place either to -day or to-
morrow. in the meantime Sir John
Gibson, whose six years of office expir-
ed on the 21st of this month, is still
Lieutenane;Governor of the Province,
and in that capacity will attend the
funeral of Sir James Whitney.
The alacrity with which Col. Hen-
drie's appointment was made follow-
ing the death of Sir James 'Whitney
has opened up a wide range of politi-
cal speculation, Col. Hendee spent
some time on Saturday in conferenee
with Hon. Frank Cochrane, Minister
of Railways and Canals in the Borden
Cabinet, and whether the order was
passed at Ottawa on Friday and not
signed until Saturday or passed and
signed on Saturday is not disclosed,
but it was shortly after the conclusion
of the morning council in Toronto
that the news of the appointment was
given out at Ottawa.
BELGIRS CUT

CommunicatiOn Between Mons
and Brussels is Broken.
Heavy Fighting in Which Invad-
ers Are Repulsed.
London, Sept. 28.-A despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Blankenbanghe, Belgium, under Sun-
day's date, says that the Belgians
have blown up the viaduct at Bierg-
hes, thus tutting railway communica-
tion between Mons and Brussels.
The Ostend correspondent of the
Louden Ctandard, in a despatch dat-
ed Sunday, says:
"People arriving from Ghent report
severe fighting at Termonde up to last
evening, when the Germans attacked
in great force, but were driven off
with heavy losses. It is evidently
their intention to force their way
through to St. Nicholas, if possible,
and complete the ring of investment
around Antwerp. Their bombardment
of Antwerp must be deferred, how-
evei, till their big guns arrive near
enough to be effective, and the essen-
tial concrete emplacements for them
have been completed, but it looked
as if they were now determined to
try to push forward to St. Nicholas,
and setter° fighting near Ghent is
probable.
VIOLENT FIGHTING.
Paris, Sept. 28.-A despateh to the
Petit Parisien from- Amsterdam seys
that violent fighting has occurred be-
tween the Germans and Belgians at
Schooten, four miles east of Antwerp,

east of Ghent. In the latter loaelitY
the heavy Gerntatt artillery became
stuck in the mud, and the Germans
were obligee to retire before the at-
tacks of the Belgians.
It is cottfirmed, says the deepatch,
that the Germans are fortifying Liege.

"Attention has been railed. to the in-

"There have been eircumstanees in

able to treat under the greatest diffi-
culty, and at great personal risk on

diers. who were being treated la hos-
pitals, rut which the German fire was

terial which was available, . and near

dred *minded has had to be evacuat-
ed in two hours. This es:plains why
many wounded soldiers have had to
be transported stretcbed on straw or

available for the traasport of these
wagons,
"Such conditions could not baste
