Began to wash the disciples' feet.. The contest among the twelve for the leading place in the kingdom of God seems to have taken place not long before this. 0 Then cometh he to Simon Peter. Peter had many faults, but he was one of those very refreshing people of whom one le sure that whatever per- son ur event "cometh," their individ- uality will show itself. Lord, dust thou. wash my feet 4 " Thou" is the empha- tic word: " :Chou, the Christ, the San of the living God, wish my feat,"' the feet of " a sinful mend" The others had been washed, full of silent wonder, but Peter could not be talent. 7. Thou shin( know hereafter, "I will explain this after 1. have washed the feet of all the disciples."

Eight or 'Tea flours to he emend by the Canadian t',irllta IN 111111y. A despatch from Montreal says:—The Canadian Pacific railway is arranging to establish a very fast service be- tween this city and the Pacific coast. The work of rearranging the time -table is now under way, and it is expected that the new 0e0vice will come into operation some time during May. It is yet too early to say just what the. reduction in time will be, but it is un- derstood that at least eight or ten boors will be gamed under Lhe new arrangement. The trip across the continent now occupies upwards of six days. With the new time -table in tures, it will be possible to cover the distance between this ally turd Vnn- couver in five end one-half days.

He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feat, "He that is bathed needetli not save to 11101, his feet," Ye are clean, but not ell. A rebuke which only Judos of all the twelve could understand. It is possible, indeed, that Judas, intent on ,his plottings ninth the priests, had been absent when the rest of the dis- ciples accompanied their Mester to the public beth. 11, He knew who aitottld betray him "Who runs betraying him." 12.

Their 'deference to him is right 14. Ye also ought to waeb one an- other's feet. Naturally this whole story was profoundly affected: Christen- dom, Some small branches of the Church of Christ have regarded it as enjoining a sort of sacrament, and teach that Christians are in duty bound to wash one another's feet, juet as they are to partake of the Lord's Supper; and loftysaints in the Roman Church have washed the feet of beg- gars in their endeavor to fulfill this command. Bat our Lord's own ex- planation in this anti the following verses shows that hie act was typical -an acted parable. Tlhe'eonstant purt- ftcatien from the daily stains of life can be in a sense perforlred by Christians bans Rt each aChar, and as snob It is a duty which their Lord bids them to perform, If the verso we are now commenting on were devoutly read every day in every Christian household, there would never agai1 in all Christendom be a Church quar- rel 15.

The word in the original fur "example" describes it sampler, a thing to be treeed over, like a abild's fire copy in writing. 10, The servant is not greater than his lord. Over and over doss uu.r Saviour utter this truth. We need not consider ourselves above any work which he was willing to do. Ile that is sent. ,An apostle. 17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. "If we are con- tent to forsake the literal interpreta- tion of our Lord's action as belonging to other countries and earlier times, We ought to be more careful to ant up to the spirit of the precept, abound- ing in the loftiest ants of love, by which we can do good to the bodies or souls of those who need our love."— Churton. MURDER AND SUICIDE. Young Frenchman Takes a Terrible Re - rouge 11pnn Ills Indian Sweetheart. A despatch from Toledo, Ohio, says:— James Lnblanohe, a young Frenchman, stabbed and killed his Indian sweet- heart, Olga Possamie at Pelee Point, Ontario, and then stabbed himself to the heart. The Point is near Pelee Island, and during the winter months the inhabitants are isolated. The steamer American Eagle has just ar- rived from the island bringing the story of the tragedy. Lablanche and the pretty Indian girl were lovers and last summer they plighted their troth. The marriage ceremony was to bave been performed shortly. When the young Frenchman went to call on his sweetheart last week, he learned that another, an Am- erioan from Sandusky, bad usurped his place in the maiden's heart. He was distracted. He induced the girl to take a walk with him, and when near "Lover's Rock" he stabbed her, ]till- ing her instantly. He threw' the girl's body into the lake, and after stabbing himselt, fell into the water after her. "Lover's Rock" is a promontory famous throughout this section of the country.

Mr. Acrel intended selling the safe for old iron, but thought' he would see what was in it before doing so. Ile accordingly got an axe and broke open the locked door, when, to his surprise, the money rolled out. The cash was nearly all in English silver, sixpences and shillings. Mrs. Aoret's father, who occupied the house up to the time of his death a few years ago, was an eccentric old gentleman. It is supposed he left the money in the safe many years ago, and it has never been opened since KAISER'S ENGLISH VISIT. With the Empress Ile Yl'111 Sls3 Two Weeks.

The visit will probably last twelve days, when the imperial yacht Hohenzollern will proceed to Ab- erdeen, and the Empress will lend there and spend a few weeks at Aber- geldie castle, which the Queen bas of- fered to place at her disposal. In the event of the programme being (tarried out, the younger children of the Em- peror and Empress of Germany will join the latter at Abe'geldte castle.

A despatch from Quebec, Que., says: —An important decision has been reached by the Quebec Government with reference to the succession tax, Hitherto the tax has been paid on the face value of the estate.

Cures Wrought by South American Nervine Tonic. SIX DOSES VILL CONVINCE THE MOST INolaULOJS5 EDITOR OOLVWELL, OF PARIS, ONT4 REVIEW. Newspaper edi'ors are almost as sceptical as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for sick people. Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated aures will incline either an editor or a dootor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a mod ioi nes Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great Son th American Nervine Tonic were received from men and women all over the country before physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonic for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully. worded pufffor his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own pe"conal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public has proved snoh a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, ane it has mired vrhen Sold by dootors and other medicines worst tried in vain. " I was prostrated with a particu- larly severe attack of 'La Grippe,'" says Mr. Colwell, "and could find ne relief from the intense pains and dis- tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The doctors did not help me, and I tried a number of medi- cines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South Amerioan Nervine Tonic, Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger everyday. Your Nervine Tonic cured me in a single week." The South Amerioan Nervine Tonin rebuilds the life forces by its direct action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities now ooncedethat fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces. The South American Nervine Tonio acting direct upon the nerve centres andnerve tissues instantaneously, supplies them with the true nourish - meet required, and that is why its invigorating ef'eots upon the whole system are always felt immediately, For all nervous diseases, for general debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other romedy can possibly take its nlnrc G.
