It was cruel murder in the name of lam -and religion, under the guisa of zeal • ror the offended majesty of God.

Jezebel made nse of the very religion. :she despised to bring to death the Man who most faithfully exemplified it. It nes mockery to God. •• - II. When Ahab connived at crime. The executor and guardian of- -law connived at the murder 0 a law-abitl- ang subject. Ahab was wrong in wanting Naboth's vineyard, wrong in tempting Naboth to transgress the ccannandment of the Lord. His pro- posal showed a thorough lack of pelt:1.- 041e, a wicked contempt for Gott's law. It was the curse of his undisciplined deeire that never had - enough.

III. When Elijah appeared in Samar- ia,. Ahab lost no Ulna in reaping the fruit of jezebel's wickedness. With the sons of Belial there was no diffi- culty in swearing away the life of a good citizen But for their conapilance Jezebel might have been baffled. The Syrian princess whom Ahab had mar- ried was the enemy whose voice had tempted him into sin and lulled him into selt-complacen.cy, while , Elijah waG his truest, though sternest friend. The public manifestation or the righ- teous judgment of God was set forth in the appearance of 7Glijah, the great restorer of the leenwho stood forth. to avenge the. death of Naboth. He performed his true function in pro- nouncing swift judgment on. the cruel wroeg. Since the day upon Carmel he had been hiddenfrom view. His sud- den appearance upon the eeene filled Ahab with alarm. To him Elijah's pre- sence was as the ebadow of death. In all his former experiences he had found that the word of the Lord In the Ineuth of Hie prophet was .truth, ahab's question, "Hast thou found me?" was a ecif-revelation. Ho was undeceived in a moment by the •direct words or Elijah. Ahab woe brought race to face with righteottimess, honor and judgmeut. A threefold einem was charged against. him. He had provok- ed God to anger. He had led Israel in- to sin. He had sold hiniself to worn wickedness in -the sight of the Lord, The awful curse brought him to his Senses and his knee. In the moment Of his humiliation his remorse Was slicere., las conecience aroused, his fears excited, his sense of God's Ins- eice real and hie cadre or pardon un- feigned. No change of heart or life followed. He did not forsake his idols nor eurrentier Naboth's vineyard. »or abandon his self-confidence.

Naboth was justi- fied in withholding the vineyard from Ahab, became "the permanent sale of the paternal inheritance was forbid- den by law (Lev. 26: 23-28; Num. 36: 7-9), and it would seem like a denial of Ms allegience to the true religion to sell it wben the jubilee restora- tion was neglected in these idola- trous times."

QFTHE lAY Resignation of Italian IVIarine ister Foretells Aotivity of the Navy Of That Country, London, Sept. 26.- Ceuta Geetge Noble Plunkett, director of the) Na- tional Museum of Scientific delence aud Art at Dublin, in an interview in the Observer, says: "There is a marked difference be- tween the feeling in Ireland to -day and that exieting at the time of the Boer War. Kruger had Irish ad- mirers; not so the Kaiser. There are no pro -Germans in Ireland to -day. The latest Prussian attempts to get hold of Irish thougat and feeling simply show the German inability to understand the Irish psychology. Somehow currency has been obtained in the poorer parts of the west of Ireland that if the Kaiser should succeed King George old age pensions would begin at 05 years instead of 70, and would be seven shillings and sixpence ($1,87- 1-2) instead of five shillings ($1.25). The contributory part of the German scheme was left to the imagination, " Asked if conscription would cause trouble in Ireland, he said: "There might be some sort at trouble, but it would be short-lived. A. far graver Political situation would be created by leaving Ireland out of any scheme necessary to bring the war to an early iseue. This would hopelessly divide the country." On the subject of recruiting, he said that Ireland had a greater portion of army reserves when the war broke out than any other part of the United King -dein. The emigration cf the last fifty years, ho said, had left Ireland with an abnormally Toxic number ed very old, very youteg and physically infirm mete Under these circuit:le stances he considered that Ireland had done well in recruiting, SUSPENDED Coasting Laws Hold 11.p During Remainder of Season.

"Since our lest conversation," M. Dadosiavoff said, "the war has ap- proached Bulgaria. The world knows the great interests Bulgaria, has in the Balkans, and nobody can say how far or how near is the moment wben Bul- garia will have to protect those inter- ests. "Tem are the reasons which forced us to pass to armed neutrality, there- by following te.example of otber neu- tral states, Our mobilization at pres- ent is purely a defensive measure, and not at all directed against Roumania or Greece. 13ulga2ia has no aggressive designs against those states, a fact which I wish emphatically to point out." - -SERBS SURE Oe' GREEK AID.

Vesnitch is quoted as having. said: "Greece. is certainly not disposed to adopt the -scrap of naper theory of the German Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg." "How could anyone," the, Minister asked, "sertously -suggest to the Greeks that they are released froni their en- gagements with us •slinply because the Bulgarians in their aggression are supported by the Germans. The Greeks are nOt unaware that the Ger- mails promised Bulgaria not only Ma- cedonia, including Kavala and Salon- ika but a greater part -of Albania." BITWAR BOY PRINCE LDADS.

The system of billeting since the present war started hair been tried out in Lindsay, the home town of the Minister of Militia, and it bas met there with great success. Seventy- five cents a day will be paid by the Government for each soldier billeted. It is felt that this system will be of particular benefit during tbe winter months.- The soldiers will be sur- rounded with home influences, which will tend to make the routine of mili- tary life less tedious to them. From a recruiting standpoint the system will enable the authorities to get into districts which hitherto have contributed but few men,and it win give, more particularly rural districts, a greater opportneity to send men 'to the front. Thousands of eases have occurred where young men in out -a- nte -way rural localities wiehing to enlist have had toe pay their railway fare to a recruiting centre and 11. 15 known that thousands of ethers have Leen deprived of their chance to join a regiment owing to the expense en - 'tailed in- getting to the recruiting Point. Hitherto there has not been great difficulty encountered in re:gutting men. When the first call came for 20,000 men, 33,000 were sent °vex -zees, and when the second call came to in- crease the number to 75,000, and a third call to increase it to 1.10,000 and a fourth call to increase it to 150;000, the best type of men were obtained, and Canada ha* now over 160,000 men Ueder arms.
