Introduction.—The world is full
•of quarrels. There are many men
like that of whom a character in
Shakespeare says : 'Thou wilt queer -
re meets a man that Ilatb a hair
more or a hair less in his head than
thou hast. Thou wilt quarrel with a
elan for cracking nuts, having no
other reason but because thou has
hoof eyes. Thy heath is full o
quarrels as an egg is full of meat."
There are many others with one-
sided views, which they hold perti-
naciously and pugnaciously. In
short, ilio disputes of the world
aro Bo many, so varied, and so der-
t.'ain, sooner or later, to iuyoire
each of us, that a lesson on quar-
rels is sure to be useful, If we can
learn how to settle disputes wise-
ly, it will be well worth while.
That is the theme of to -day's les -
eon, whleh concerns a very deep and
•dangorous controversy that arose
in tha early church, and shows the
wiso and thoroughly Christian way
in which it was se, fled,
aro the keys whiter unlock the store-
houses of energy. We have dis-
covered the laws which govern the
forces Of nature. We work in har-
mony with theBe laws and nature ie
our servant. If we oppose. them
they crush us, so wo must learn the
laws of God and obey them. We
mast bring ourselves into harmony
with the forces of righteousness.
The power from on high enters
the imam of the good man. Theu ho
is invincible, He can stand like
Athanasius against the world. He
is free from doubt. He knows not
fear. He draws strength from the
iuexbaustible fountain of atrength.
In every controversy he can say:
"They that are for us aro more than
they that are against us." Ho
knows that one. with God is a ma

(Continued,)
To Che American in Canada the
incrodiable thing has happened. He
has found it imposs....e to take the
oath of allegiance to the descendant
of Geerge tue•`l,'hirct; but in so do-
ing he has not troubled himself' to
think that he has readjusted his re-
lation to the peerage,, His allegi-
ance is given to Canada.
It is surely not necessary to labor
the paint that in bringing the Gall
elan land 'the American into the Em-
pire, and affording to both of thorn
honest administration of jeetiee'and
unlimited opportunity to bear' a high
part in the making and observing
of laws, the Dominion of Canada
has made a notable contribution to
the strength of the Empire itself,
as well as to the broadening of her
own bases of strength. For there
will go on, more and inure quickly,
in an invigorating climate and on
a fertile soil; a' blending of races,
which will eventuate in a type as
virile and enduring as the Engl
type itself became` through the
teemarriage of the different poop
who, from time to time, invaded t
shores of Great .Britain,
As the Empire is vaster th
England, we do not seek merely
help our new population to become
loyal to England. We verymuch de-
sire their loyalty to the Empire, as
we ourselves are loyal, But the
first thing, the vital thing, is to
secure their Ioyalty to Canada, and
as one of the most important steps
in that evolution, I would place the

The navy will be a natural man -
sequence of placing the Canadian
militia on. an entirely Canadian
basis, and controlled altogether
rom Ottawa. There is, of course,
his difference between a militia
and a navy—that a hand force is
ntirely suitable to a country which

nob have to prepare for possible
arrels with States beyond the
cal; whereas a navy, by the very
act of. its existcnoe, proclaims tha
ountry which establishes it to be,
n some degree, at least, a world
ower.
It might be, argued that, for a
ountry which has no foreign min-
ters, to have a navy of its own is
n impossibility Sn international
olitios; and that there is no hall-
way between a navy of Canadian
rigin, subject absolutely to the
irection of the British Admiralty,
d a navy, the instrument ol a
tally independent power. If pre -
dents worn allowed to govern poli:
es, this augument might hare some
eight; but, if the Empire had 'l-
ays waited fur precedents, it
ould have ended long ago. This
'aeration is just as capable of
eating precedents as its fore -
inners were. There- is no more
aloe why a Canadian navy should
wholly rospoesible to the Ad-
iralty in London, than there is roa-
n why .the Finance Minister of
anode should be a creature of tho
haneollor of the Exchequer.
I do nob conceive that Canada
would propose to contribute to the
Dost of the Imperial navy, without
dimot representation on the Ad-
miralty Board, and in the Parlia-
ment which reviews the oost and

VI. The Wise Decision,—Ys. 23-
20. Why were representatives of
the Jerusalem church chosen to
carry the decision to Antioch 7 To
give dignity to the matter, and
weight, To reciprocate the hour
paid by the Antioch Christians to
the Jerusalem eburch in sending
their leaders to consult with then,
and not merely sending a letter. To
confirm the report of Paul and Bar-.
uabas, which othorwiee alight be
suspected of 'a bias toward Choir
own well-known views, 11 is al-
ways best to conduct business in

VII. A Joyful Settlement. Vs.
11036. How did the Antioch church
receive the news of the council's
decision? The church was con
vend, and the letter from Jeru-
salont was publicly read. Then
they rejoiced for the consolation.
"Oonsolatioa" is the abstract.
noun corresponding to Paraclete,
the Comforter of John 14. It
refers primarily to . for friend
or advocate who stands beside a
prisoner in the court, and strength-
ens his case by testifying ea hi;
side or pleading for Mm. The
thought is the sante as the Lata,
whence "comfort" is derived, coo

means more than soothing there-
fore; it implies strengthening.
I. Tho Point in ;Dispute.—Y. 1.
While Paul and Barziabas rested at.
Antioch after the first missionary
journey, what difficulty ar050? Cer-
tain men, perhaps those sent by
James (Gal. 2: 12), canto down
from Maciaea. The liczan text says
that these visitors were Pharisees,
members of the strictest eteot of
Jews. Perhaps they came to iuves
tngato rumors of laxity in the
church; at any rate they taught
the brethren (the verb is in the
imperfect, implying aontinusd ac-
tion—they !rept teaching), and said,
lixoepb ye be oin.ameised . yo
cannot bo saved. A very different
doctrine from St. Paul's "Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thorn
shalt bo saved" (Act's 16; 31), Of
course these Pharisee Christians
required faith in Christ, but they
added the requirement of confor-
mity to Jewish rites and laws. The-
result,

The fa.ct that our share in the Em-
pire is so essentially constructive,
strengthens, if possible, the posi-
tion on which great issues have be-
fore now been fought, with urtly one
ending—that the people who provide
the money shall absolutely control
the spending of it. VVrhen the House
of Lords controls money bills, and
the Australian Midget is revised in
Whitehall, we shall no doubt Deceive
gladly the idea that the Canadian
people be taxed for • the Imperial
navy. We have road enough of
English history, and have had
enough expeeienee of our own, to
know that the lynch -pin of self
government is this absolute ooutrol
of tuxes by the taxed,
Nor 18 it conceivable that Canada
would desire toborrow or parcllaae
vessels that have "obsoleted" from
first-class service in the Imperial
squadrons, It has been suggested,
andenoarsed in The Times, that the
Admiralty should loud its two or
three obsolete vessels for polieiug
our fishei'les, as the first stop in the
disollarge of Canada's duty to the t
naval develr,pmnnt of the. Empire. t

futility of supposing that the rela-

We muse devetop the naval spirit.
We mast begin by training our
youth within sight of our s)tor03,
rather than by looking for poachers
on the high seas. For maritime acti-
li'ty there is a natural, healthy
craving in all nations, leo one is set
foolish as to suppose that Canada
would ever dream of a navy finally,
regardless of Great Britain. Evezy
discerning man would perceive that,
whatever Canada did, would be
merely an evidence of the strength
of decentralization in an Imperial
Government, based absulutely on
the will of the governed.
Our maritime assets, so to speak,
are thres--the Atlantic seaboard,
the Pacific seaboard, and the Great
Lakes, Hitherto, our defensive in-
stincts have boon served only by
the militia. In view of the distri-
bution of our population, I suspect
that we have more drill balls and
armories that England has. But it
is anomalous that, with our great
coast line in Nova Scotia, Now
Brunswick and far Eastern Quebec,
our young fellows, to whom sea logs
come by nature, should be compell-
ed into the militia, when their choice
would be the nia,.ttes,

Dr. Landouzy of the Medical Fac

d this is acquired by habit. It

at one should always lie on the

.At least two medical men in thio

keepers support the church of
Kurtz to aid the liquor interest
and oppose adverse legislation.

33 YEARS IN JAIL CELL
d'ES+'IB PUb1.'EROY MAT SEA
DAYLIGHT.
"Human Fiend" Murdered Chill
Oren ---Age! Nether Thinks
Him Innocent.
After thirty-three ears'
Y solitary
oorifiuetnent an the Oltaz'lestown,
Mass., prison', Jesse Pomeroy, the
"human fiend" may again see day-
bgltt,
Pomeroy was a stool eyed boyor
seventeen when the world declared
him dead and locked him behind
the doors of Charlestown prima,
Now he is a luau of fifty, From,
seventeen to fifty he has known
nothing but darkness and solitude..
The lien who bore wituess against
him, the :attorneys who defended
him, the jurors who called 1t1m
guilty, the judge who sentenced him
to death, the Governor who saved
hint from the rope—all are dead.
Once a day a jailer slips his food
through a slip in the darke1ned. Dell
and peers in to make sure that
his prisoner hasn't died during the
night.
Once a month the prisoner's
mother --this only pe55011 in the
whole world who thinks him. enno-
veat--talks and weeps with him
thrutigln the bars for an hour.
Once a year the Governor of Mas-
sacltusetts ane! the Prison Commis-
sion walk through and stare cur-
iously at the prisoner. Uceasion-
ally Chaplain Barnes visits him
and talks to hint,
MAY SEE THE LIGHT.
Them are the only breaks in
Pomeroy's sunless years.
And now relief may come. A
hill will be introduced in the pre-
sent session of the Legislature—it
is aimed at Pc uieruy--allowing all
prisoners to work in the daylight
and with their fellow -prisoners.
This boon Pomeroy has long
crated. Just to see the daylight,
to 1150 people and talk with them
--Wu a•11 he !las ever asked. He
has refused to work unless he could
work with the. other' prisoners.
,Iuet what Pomeroy is to -day only
the prison officiate know—and they
won't tell. `You may see all there
is to bo seen in Charlestown
prissal," General Jiridges, the war -
Glen, says, "exat:pt Pomeroy."
At thirteen he was assaulting and
torturing boys of six. He was put
in a reformatory, where, after
three years, ho was released on
parole.
A little` while after, by his own
confession, he assaulted and but-
chered little .Nellie Curran, and
buried her body in the cellar of her
father's store.
At seventeen he was found guilty
of slaying a five-year-old boy in
Boston. The law, outraged, called
him unfit for freedom, or even hu-
man asociation. His long tern! in
prison began.
HAS DEVELOPED INTELLECT.
With all hisreverted and de-
generate
P e
generate instincts, ,nesse Pomeroy
is au intellectual man --even bril-
liant. He has read every Due of
the 8,000 books in the prison lib-
rary, and hall a thousand more bo -
longing to Chaplain Barnes. He.
reads in the original the works of
Latin, Trench, German, Spanish,
Italian and Arabic authors, having
learned all these languages in
prison.
Besides reading, Pomeroy has one
other pleasure—the monthly visits
of his mother. Mrs. Pomeroy, a
broken and frail woman of close to
eighty, who stili lives in Weymouth,
where Jesse was born, never misses
a visit,
Every mother of a prisoned son
thinks him innocent. But none be-
lieves it more devoutly' than Mrs.
Pomeroy.
"My son is a martyr,' she says,
"They told him that I was accused
of his crimes—that if he didn't con-
fess to them I would have to go to
prison. He confessed to save me,
because he loves me."
STATUS OF TILE CAT.
Valued as a Plague Preventive in
Japan.
The status of the cat has suddenly,
risen in Japan, and the few families,
in that country which are 'without;
these pets are on the alert to secure
one or more of them wherever they
are to be found. The cause of this
increased demand for felines• is due
to the statement recently made by
Doctor Koch, who advised the keep-
ing of cats as the best means of
avoiding the plague. The Japanese
authorities have taken a census of
the cats in several of the larger
cities, and in Osaka, whose populta-
tion is I,500,000 it was learned that
48,222 families kept cats to the num-
ber of 5.1,380. In addition to these
it is estimated that there aro 5,692
homeless felines, and,, remarkable
enough, those sections of the nit
which are frequently visited bythe
plague were free from cats. Tho
