There were thirty paupers sleeping iu the building besides the keeper and mat- ron, Mr. and Mrs. Templeton, with their servant.

Another Com- forter. The word here rendered "Con - furter" is in 1 John 5, 1, translated "Advocate." "Haimor" has been sug- gested as nearer in meaning to the Greek word. In John 16. 8-14 the work of the Spirit is described as pleading, .arguing, convincing, in struoting, guiding, and witnessing. He is "Another" who will do what Jesus himself had been doing. Abide with you forever. Lifelong fellowship. 17. The Spirit of truth. Only a few minutes before Tesus had said, "I am the truth." The world.

Ilia Ls with us to lire end. Be not afraid. 18. Comfortless. "Desolate;" "as or- phans." There is no connection of thought between the "Comforter," Paraolete of verse 16, and the "com- fortless," orphans, of this verse. No one can study the words and deeds of the disciples while Jesus was with them and nob feel how likes fatherless little boys they would be with their Rabbi in the grave; "sheep in the midst of wolves,' indeed, and utterly helpless when Sadducee and Pharisee should unite for their ruin, Jesus here assures them that their bereave- ment, the cause and manner of whioh they cannot ' .yet understand, will be but temporary. I will come to you. "I 001 8;" am always coming. 19. Yet a little while, and the world Beeth me no more. "Beholdeth me no more." ;Not to "the world" but only to ''witnesses chosen before of God" did our Lord appear after his resurrection. Ye see me, "Yo be- hold m.e;" not only the few to whose eyes the wonders of the forty days were manifest, but every Christian. Spiritual life brings spiritual vision. Because I live, ye shall live also. "And ye shall live also." This is a pramise of the resurrection ; and more, it is a promise of eternal life—a life over which death has no power—given to all who trust their souls in the hands of their Saviour; of such a life the re- surrection of saved souls is a neces- sary episode.

T in you, So Paul says, "Christ liveth in me," Gal. 2. 20, and John, "He that keepeth his commandments dwellet'h in him, and he in him," 1 John 8. 24. 21. The conditions under which the promise is realized are here once inore la.il down. This is the fifteenth verse turned backward, There Jesus tells hos disciples that they that love him will certainly keep his comenandmonts; here he says that they that keep his commandments do it from love to him. Shall he loved. A richer promise even than the similar one in John 12, 26. Will manifest myself to him, ;(Refer again to 1 John 3, 24..) 22, Judas sailh unto him, not Is- oariot. The apostle called by Mat- thew (10. 3) Lebbeus or Thaddeus; by Luke (6. 16) "'the brother of James." Lord, how is it that thou wilt mani- fest thyself unto us, and riot unto the world. "'Why hast thou so loved us as to account us worthy of a mani- festation of which the world is not accounted worthy?" 23. This verse perfectly answers Judas's .question. It may be thus para- phrased: "I will manifest myself to you, and not to the world, because that is the very nature of things, You love me, and obey me, and my Father levee you as a consequence, and the result is we abide in your heerte. .That is the divine manifestation," 24.

In MURDER EPIDEMIC IN INDIA, Throe Fatal Outrages at Peshawar Dar• ling the fast Fortnight. A despatch from Simla says :—Grave concern has been caused here in Gov- ernment quarters by the veritable ept- demie of assassination whioh has pre- vailed at Pashawur during the past two weeks. The murderer of Lieut. -Col, Le Marchant was executed on the evi- dence of men of the Hampshire Regi- ment, and the murderer's friends have apparently sworn vengeance against all wearing that uniform. A private of the Hampshire Regi- ment has already been shot, and other Ghost outrages are reported. An officer going for a morning ride found a native woman with her throat cut close to the club itself, while an- other officer, walking through the bazaar, turned on hearing a souffle Mose behind him and witnessed the murder of a man by a Pathan, who stabbed his victim with a knife. The Peeling of inseourify is so acute and general that the Government is considering the desirableness of dis- arming the entire native population of Peshawar.

The Chinese losses are un- known, as they are carrying away their dead and wounded. The British had no loss. Itis proposed to advance the British position. With the exception of his staff, Gen.

Z Beds Months --Fad Given Up All Hope of Getting Well—A Remedy lround at Last to whioh "I Owe My Life." Science has folly established the rant that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres ionated near the base of the brain. ''t't''hen the supply of nerve force has been diminished either"Gy excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we ere first conscious of a languor or tired and worn-out feeling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded ueneeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and agen- eral oinking of the whole system. In this day of burry, fret and worry, there ere very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or siok headache ; all of whioh are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food and heal thgiver, is aeatisfying success, awondrous boon to tired, sink, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit, It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its vase follows Abounding health. It 3s unlike all other remedies in that it is not designed to act on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, whichare nature's little batteries, it louses aninoreased supply of nervous energy to be generated, which in its turn thoroughly oils, se it were, the machinery of the body, thereby en. abling it to perform perfectly iia cif. ferent functions, and without the slightest friction, If you have been reading of the re. markable cures wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of whioh we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in. vestigate them by correspondence, and become convinced that they are trap to the letter, Such a course may epeca you months, perhaps years, of auffel► ing and anxiety, The words that follow are strons but they emanate from the heart, and speak the sentiments of thousands of women in the 'United States and Clan. ada who know, through experience, of the healing virtues of the South American Nervine Tonic. Harriet E. Hall, of Waynetown, prominent and muck respected lady, writes xs follows :— "I owe my life to the great South American Nervine Tonic, I have been in bed for five months with a scrofulous tumour in my right side,q and suffered with indigestion and nervone prostration. Had given u p all hopes of getting well. Had tried three doctors, with no relief. The first bottle of Nervine Tonic improved me so much titan I was able to walk about, and a few bottles cured me en- tirely. I believe it is the beet meds. Dine in the world, I cannot recom- mend it too highly." Tired women, can yon do beth than become acquainted with this truly great remedy 8 Sold by G. A. Deadman. HE -TRIED IT ON THE HEIFER.
