A STOLEN WINNIPEG BABY FOUND
IN BUFFALO.
The Mother Uerugnlzrd liar Daughter Who
Ilad hese B1lssing Per Hole Phan Etre
Fears - An Aunt Aenused of the Milt
uapplag,
By a mere aocldent, mays the Buffalo
lixursss, Mrs. Jolie 13. Harris, of Win-
nipeg, Manitoba, found in Buffalo on
(friday afternoon, her little daughter
Ruth, who, it appou.rs, was prartieally
stolon from her five years ago. 'Though
the child had, groan wonderfullysince
site was taken away, aliette girl three
years old, the mother recognized ter
on sight. With the aid; of the pollee
she regained possession of the child,
and site returned hone with her on
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Harris is the wife of a furrier
in Winnipeg. At the time Ruth was
taken away, she was the only child
N.lrs. Harris had. On October, 13th,1892,
little Ruth's aunt, ole. Harris' sister,
paid a brief visit to the Harris family,
When site was about to leave, she said
she wished to take Bath home with her
for te little visit. The aunt lived in
the country a few miles from Winni-
peg. hirs. Harris gave her consent,
'and kissed the child, with never a sus-
' picion that that was the last she was
to see of her for five years.
1 The aunt promised to bring Ruth
1 back
IN A FI•eWI IIAYS.
The mother did not worry. until four
days had passed. Then she went to
her sister -in -.law's home, which was on
ce farm. Mrs. Harris was shocked to
'find the house vacant, ane to learn
from neighbours that the family had
packed up its household goods' and
moved away two days before without
tailing a soul whither it was going.
The city authorities were notified, but
they failed to get any trace of the
family or the missing child.
Through the 'five years that follow-
ed Mr. and Mrs. Harris spared impales
or expense in tame search for little
' Ruth. They wrote letters to the police
i in all the large cities of Canada and
1 the United States and also communi-
I dated with everyone they knew had
1 the sli,ghtesst aequ'aintance with the
aunt and her family., ::'heir labours
were unrewarded until one day about
a week ago when they gained the in-
, formation that the family and little
Ruth were in Buffalo.
Mrs. Harris started at once for that
city, arriving there last 'Thursday. Not
knowing her sister-in-law's address
Mrs. Harris could not locate the family,
, All she could do was to walk the
'streets in the hope et .running across
either the woman or the child. On
Friday afternoon, as she was passing
one of the large down -town dry goods
!,oases, the weary and faint -hoped mo-
ther saw a little golden -haired chile,
with pretty blue eyes, came out of the
store, accompanied by a woman of
middle age. Blrs. Harris at once

PRACTICAL NOTI(S.
Verse 9. To title was drtanlfested the
love of God towearcb us. 'file idea of
Manifestation assumes the fact of
previous existence. The love of inel
was from the beginning! of things, it
did not begin with the bir^Lit of Jesus,
The Revised Version has "in us," and
the margin "in your ease," which is
the true meaning. God sent' his only
begotten Son into thie world. This is
John's favorite way of deseril'ing the
Incarnation. Christ was under rom-
missien to do certain work, Christ was
the "ouiy begotten". Son; bel was also
the first-born Son. Rom. 8. 29; Col,
1. 15-18; Heb. 1, 8; 11. 28; 12. 23; Bov,
1. 5. The one phrase is character-
istlo of John, the other, of Paul.. The
one emphasizes the unique relation of
Christ to God the Tateen and his dis-
t.tnetness from created things, the
other emphesiees his existence before
created things. dBut, we are, to re-
member that behind all these phrases
of the apostle's, there exist fans that
our human intelligence cannot fath-
om or define, S rb cannot think dot
God eitder as Father on Son w'ithput

hulnan modes of activity' La him- the
hank. of God, tete eye. of God, the fare

ception, what the philosophers call
anthropomorphic, and therefore inade-
quate. Tbat we might live through
him. Our spiritual life we owe to
Christ's life en earth, .
10. Herein is rove-' `Herein," like
the " in this " of the last verse, has to
do with what follows. Not that we loved
Gad. For main dbes 'not naturally re-
gard God -embodied goodness -with
love ; we fear him rather. He loved us.
The gosliel and epistles of John cir-
cle around this blessed truth. Sent hie
Son to be the peopitiation for our sins,
Conciliation. See the note on propitia
Lion in th'e list lesson. Our Lord's
death was a sacrifice; but it was aster!
ririce offered 'hot: for the sake of alp-,
peasing one who is angry with a per,
sonal feeling against the offender, but i
of removing that which interposes an
inevitable obstacle to fellowship, 1
11. So is emphatic. God. loved us with
such unutterable love. We ought also
to love one another. Legally this is our
duty. We should regard ourselves as
sent into the world to be a propitia-
tion for the sins and, blunders of all
about us, and turn evil into good by
our personal sacrifige,
112. No main bath seen God at any
time. The structure of the Greek is
here` inverted, greatly to the loss of
empbasis; "God bath no man ever yet
seen." Rumen intelligence cannot un-
derstand the divine essence. If we
Love one another God dwelbsth in us.
A confusion of thought may arise in
the .minds of some szltolare because of
the many different mental and affec-
Venal qualities that are known by the
mime of love. It is doubtless true
that all love on earth is of God. Even
so truly an animal instinct as shown
b3' the hen clu'ekin.g to call her, chick-
ens under ler wings has same remote
but real resemblance to tee universal
love of God. His leve is perfected, in.
us. '.This ,Weans his loving nature is
made perfect fn our nature of love.
Do not explain it as meaning our love
of him or his Love ce ns,
131. Hereby know we.. (because .he
hath given us of his Spirit: The in -1
dwelling love spoken of in .thelust
verse. This lesson brings us into the
midst of deep mysteries, and the wise
teacher will nowt attempt to expla'uc1
everything beat his own /experience
even makes certain to him, but this
much 'is plain', whether we understand
It or not, it ,s po:atixle for bunion beings

Toronto Two 'Months ago.
A despatch'. from Buffalo, says: -
Susie Archer, a Canadian girl, 25
years old, suffered. Lntenso agony on
Monday night at the Pearl street
police station. For reasons known only
to herself she attempted to end bar
earthly peregrinations by taking a dose
of carbolic acid.
She was found writhing in frightful
agony tit Grant and Hampshire streets
by Patrolman Gruner, of No. 5 police
station. At first the officer thought
the woman was suffering from the ef-
fects of over -indulgence in liquor, but
on stooping down to lift her up he
smelled carbolic acid.A quick Dail for
the patrol waggon, was sent in, and
Ade suffering woman was sent 10 sta-
tion No. 3, and placed in Matron Duf-
fy's care,
She could scarcely breathe when she
arrived at the station, her lungs and
throat being apparently badly clogged
l
with mucous matter, which elm tried
vainly and with much distress le raise.
Dr. Dowd was summoned, and he did
what he could to relieve her of her
sufferings.
Miss Archer would not admit that
she had taken' poison. She experienced
a great deal of pate, and talked with
much difficulty. She hesitated along

the attempt to punish the Afri1'ts.

the most remarkable in which England
has ever been engaged. Gen. Lockhart
has under bis personal rontman,l a
larger body of troops than was ever
