Her eyes were blinded with tears. She knew that Hazier drew her nearer. With the daring of one who may well east the world's convention to the winds be gathered her t0 his heart and ,kissed ber.

WOOD'S Norway Pine Syrup. Miss D. M. Pickering, St.,Catharh*ea, Ont., writes: "Having derived great benefit from Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, I though) I would write andtell you of my experience. When I first came out,fronl England I contracted a severe cold,, owing to the change of climate. It settled on my lungs, and caused me a great deal of pain, I tried every remedy I could think of, but got no relief. My father, who had heard a great deal about the good' qualities of Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, advised me to try it. I- did so, and, I am 'pleased to say, found im mediate relief. I only tookone bottle and it cured me completely. My mother had a severe cold also, and Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup cured her, so we never fail to keep a bottle of it in the house."

He referred tothed lay in the fulfillment of the promise Abraham, the sufferings and deliv ance of Joseph, the people's refusal 0 Moses, but God's choice of him as d liverer, and then accused them of con summating all the iniquity of the fathers by murdering the ,lust On who had been promised to Abraha and Moses and foreshadowed in isaa and Joseph and Moses and Solomon Although Joseph and Moses were re fused for a time, Goll used them wbe the time came, and so He will use th rejected, crucified and risen Christ a the appointed time. As truly as Joseph came to the place of power and Moses delivered Israel, so surely shall Jesus Christ come to the throne of David and be king over a redeemed Israel when the fullness of time shall have come. As usual, the accusation of being the murderers of their Messiah eut them to the heart (chapter v, 83) and made Wein angry . enough to kill Stephen. which they succeeded in doing. As they gnashed on him with their teeth (verse 54) he. was seemingly' oblivious to 1t all, for be saw Jesus in r glory. The expression "gnashing of teetb" was used just seven different times by our Lord concerning the torment of the lost and always concerning those wbo were professedly religions, but not really His (Matt viii, 12; xiit 42, 50; axil, 13; xxlv, 51; xxv, 80; Luke xiii, 28), Stephen was filled with the Spirit to Serve tables, to work miracles, to bear testimony, and now in bis great hour of need to see Jesus Christ in glory and die triumphantly ivi. 3, 5. 8, 10; vii, 55, 001. 'Tp be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit is our great and su- preme need for every occasion and all manner of service, for Only thus shall we look up steadfastly and see the glory of God and Jesus at His right hand, something which we need to do in order to be steadfast in service and ready to live or die. This upward look and steadfast beholding of Jeans at the right hand of the rather, always so necessary, were never more needful than pow in these awful days of the European conflict, and this very morn - leg *May 8, 19113), as the papers an- nounce the sinking of the Lusitania yesterday by torpedoes near Queens- town, with the loss of perhaps 1,000 lives, we surely do need to look up steadfastly. With tbe earth so full of unrest and the rage of the devil, the destroyer and murderer, so manifest, there can be no peace of mind unless we see heaven opeued and the Son of Man on the right hand of God and hear Him say, "Be still and know that t am God; I will be exalted in the earth," and remember that Ile alone eau make wars to cease on earth (Ps. xlv), 9.11), Stephen's discourse began with "tbe God of glory" and ended With "the glory of God" (verses 2, 55), and we must see the God of glory and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God if 'we would be patient. in tribulation sand run with patience the race set be- fore us atom. v, 14; Heb, xil, 141. I am always helped and enabled to look up `better by a study of the passages where heaven is opened and we' see visions of God, for there is 00 rest. of soul in things that are seen, but only in the unseen and eternal '(Gen. xxviil, 12-15; Beek. f, 1, 20-28; Mgtt. iii, 16, 17: John 1, 51; Acts vil, 56; x, 11; Rev. iv, I. 2; :ix, 11.10). Itis restful to remem- ber that there is eine on the throne who is always quiet and unmoved and can doo as He pleases and bus all ;lower, and no thought of Ris..cau be hindered (lass: vi, 1; Ps. caxxv, 6; Job x1l1, 2, margin). He hastoldus not to he.afraid to he killed. for to the believer to die is gain, to depart is to be with Christ, which Is very far better; to be absent from the body Is to be present with the Lord (Matt, x, 28; II Cor. v, 8; Phil. 1, 21.23), Our Golden Text does not tell us that we will' be saved if we coutiune faith- ful t11! we •die,. . but that as; bollerers. saved and kept by His faithfulness, we must expect the hatred of the devil, and if we are faithful, even though we die for it, we will receive.a crowu of lit which hi h s b c i the special reward for patient endurance.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C.A.STOIRIA Manitoba's Programme 01 Reform The Manitoba Legislature as in r•easion, andthe programme of the Goviernment has been announced, and it is almost 'enough to take away the breelth of a staid citizen of Ontario. As our readers know already there is to be a refrendum upon provincial prohibition, and what was known es the Hugh J hn Macdonald Act will be submitted to the people for their verdict. But this as only one ;stem in the pro- gramme, The Coldweli 'amend• menta are to be thrown out, and compulsory education is to be es- tablished, wean no bilingual schools. Wk are glad to note in this connection that t he re- port of the Minister of 'Education shows that out of a tool school population of 110.928 no fess than 100,983, are enrolled in tits public hchno's of the province, Ana the attendance is 81.1 per cent. of the enrolment. This is a goad deal better than we had been led to ex- pect from statements of those who claimed to know the facts. But in addition toledtaoatio'nel re- form the Government pt opos%s a to the Legislature a law granting the suffrage to women, another radical step. And, to crown, all, it is proposed that the province adopt the principleof the initiat- ive and nitiat-ive''and referendum; which is the very latest move to matte the Gov ernment completely responsive to the Will of the citizen. rt seems probable thane!). these 'radical changes wil'soon become law with our nearest westernneighbor.
