' Thc tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall tand forever; That rtame to tis is Love, Very sacred memories cluster st- rotted this remarkably fine hymn, It is a froparaphrase' of the last hYttei 24 'tie,– the world's .most renowned psalmist, the ppetic warrior Ring David, ever wr§te; known to us as Psalm 72 in the edition that has come down to us of that inspired Jewish hymnal which bore the. title "The'Psalms oE David." Probably David'compiled the orig- inal edition which was enlarged as time went on to include as well as the Song' of Moses, certain hymns of Asaph, temple choir master, and oth- ers sung during or after the Babyl- onish captivity. Psalm 72 Was evidentally written as a prayer for the youngt Solomon- when David ordered that ,he should' be crowned shortly before he passet a- way, As he proceeded with his dicta- tion of the psalm thelpirit of prophe- cy came upon the aged, monarch, and. his Spiritual vision extends itself to look far beyond. die long life he prays for Solomon, and to foresee the coneing of his greater Son, Jesus Christ whose kingdom shall "endure" not for a short season only as did Solomon's but "for ever." , Jesus the Mesaiale he sings, shall reign as lord, have dominion that is, from one•sea to another, from the ri- ver unto the ends of the earth. It was frorti Sir Leonard, Tilley's reading of this, appointed for Church of Eng- land use on „the, fourteenth day of the month, that Canada carne to be call- ed a Dominion, and not a kingdom as had been proposed, There are several Domitions now, and 01:1): sovereign is crowned, as "Ring of the Oversea's Dominions,," as web as of Great Bri- tain. • There was a large Missionary Meets •ing Pitt Street Chapel, Liverpool, Eng., in April; /822, and a justly cele- brated poet and , public man, James Montgomery, was one ofthe chief speakers. As he warmed' to the sub- jeet of I.Toreign,Missions, very dear to his heart, his fervor and pious quence •held his vast audience spell- bound, and it was amid breathless si- lence, almost awe that he went on as though involuntarily,' to quote; to, tire Lord's Annointed" in all its original eight verses, then inade real - 13r public for the first time. The im- pression it made upon those, present as almost terrible, 'in its intensity, said one who was present. The hymn had formed part of a Christmas Ode, Montgomery had pro- posed for a Moravian brotherhood in England the previous Christmastide It had gone no further however, ex- cepting that on January 9, in that year IVroatgomery had writtert out the eight verses, as a farewell gift to a 'Mr. George .bennetl, on his setting out as a missionary to the Southern Seas, • The church use of the hymn, how- Cver dates fawn the Pitt Street Mis- sionary Meetings where it was so dra- matically and finely introduced by its author. • Is there a single modern hymnbook in the language in which it does not now find place? •, That last line of the hymn caused amount of trouble. As Montgomery, its writer, and others a considerable recitetl it at Liverpool it assn. "His Narne--what is it? Loy." After some recasting he nuttily made this read. "That, Name to us is Love."'`,Che Rev, John Keine, of great fame as a hymn -writer, as winless his "Sun of ray soul,"."`Ilere IS a book who runs may read," "The' voice that breathed o'er hs'deit," etc., in adapting the hymn to ,;;Hytnes Ancient end :KO- dern," when that itymnbook, appeared in 186t, made the last line read; "His changeless Name of Love." . But latest compilers of hymnals commonly go 'back to Montgomery's last version of the concluding line of the hymn. Tban has also been the fa- vorite lipe with its many translators into foreign languages. Of James MontgoineSY, himself, no more need he said here than that he was the son of, a Moravian •minister, born in Ayeshil-e in 17711 who was ed- ucated at the Pulneck (Moravian) Seminary, Yorkshire, England, He was a salesman inn store for a time, tried vainly to 'get his "Poems" prints ed in London, ,and took service with the publisher of the Sheffield Regis- ter. There he •remained as assistant and peoprietbr with he died in his. sleep in 1854. He had become lecturer and authority on poetry, published several books, but gaVe his leisure time to promoting the cause of For- eign Missions and of the Bible Society He ranks high as a. poet and as a hymn -writer is in the first rank, "For ever with the Lord," vies with our hymn in popularity. Our tune was compiled, by Dr. Monk, musical editor of Hymns An- cient and Modern, the author of the tune "Eventide" to "Abide with me," from a choral by a well-known Ger- man composer, J. Cruger by name. HARD TO KEEP UP WITH NEW RESOLUTIONS To the Editur av all thim Wingham Paypers, D e- Sure— e Shure, 'tis the changeable wea- ther intairely we do be Flavin this whither.

Crowds are likely to keep men from the Saviour—erowds of trifling, duties, Crowds 'of selfish interests, crowds of areusexnente, crowds of doubts, crowds of' fears, crowds of worldly friends,. many other thronging hind- rances. "They uncovered the roof where He Was." The roof of a house in Palestine would be flat, and was much used as a plate of resort in the cool of the day or even at noon. "And when theyd had broken it up." As the noisy process interrupted Christ's dis- course, we may be sure that the dis- iples looked up with expressions of annoyance. As the bits of caked mud, and of tile or stick's fell down on the heads of those -below, we may imag- ine John leaping to shield his beloved, Master from. them. There was doubt- less much confusion for a minute. "They let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay." The opening would, let n the glare of the light from the bright Eastern sky, but it was soon filled, up ,by the bulging mattress. Holding by each corner. the fout friends above lowered their bur- den as far as they could, calling on the men below lo take it the rest of the way. As the pale face and shrunk- en form of the sick man came to view and the meaning of the proceeding be- came evident, a hush fell on the little assembly. Silently the mattress with it's occupant was laid at Christ's feet, a mute petition, while the crowd, look- ed on, expectant, Faith in the Saviour "And Jesus seeing their faith," The faith of 'the bearers, who had taken so much pains and shown so much boldness in their loving efforts for their friend; and the faith of the sick mart himself, who may have originated the plan and urg.e.d the bearers on. Nothing seems to have pleased, the Saviour more than an exhibition of faith. Whatever faith in Him and in His promises we mani- fest, .for ourselves and for others, we may he sure gives. Christ the great- est joy and wins front Him the most glorious rewards. ,"Saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son." The tenderer word, a word of encouragement and personal interest, was probably the one used, even,as our Lord spoke to the sick woman who touched Him in the crowd as "Daughter.".

The scribes, la answering this ques tion, were not moved by the true spirit of inquiry, for they had settled the questions in their minds:1'1-1e bias- pheinetb." Blasphemyis any speech which is contrary to the honor of God and this offence was punishable among the Jews with death,, "Who can forgive sins but one, even God?" Men may forgive trespasses that have been committed against themselves in so far as they are injuries done to, themselves. But these trespasses, be- sides being injuries .to men, are sins against God, None but He, therefore can, forgive them, If they had viewed Christ's character, His words, and His works with an unprejudiced eye, they would, have concluded that God, Who had given Him. Divine power, had with it given Him Divine authority. over sin. • "And straightway Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves." He did not need to overhear their m•titterings or look •at their sneeringfaces, for He could read men's hearts like open books. "S•aith unto them, Why reason ye these -things in your hearts?" Christ answers the 'why' of the'scribes with a `why' of His own, one that always calls for an answer on men's part. What. motive lies back of our thoughts? That motive determines their character. 'The thoughts may be logically correct, but if hatred, selfishness, am.bition, or any ouzel evil motive animates them, all thefr logic is vitiated,. No true reasoning can flow out of an evil heart. • "Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and walk?" Chsist is not speaking of the acts, since of course the heal- ing Of a sick sold is more difficult than the healing of a sick body; the first has to do with eternal and the second with tenspoial interests. Bat Christ is asking which claim could more easily be made, made with the least chance of being 'discovered false if no power lay behind it; and of course the first claim was far easier to make., since no onc could prove whether it was substantiated or not, Therefore, Christ, having, made the tirst claim, goes on to make the sec-. wet and more difficult claim, to prove the first. "But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority an earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy.)" Fourteen times in this one Gospel of Mark our Lord applies to Himself the title, 'Son of Man.' Though he declared with all earnest- ness that He was the Son of God; the tarthly incarnation of Deity, His fa- vorite name for Himself was Son of man, though the name is never in the Gospels applied to Hiiss by others. Christ now proposes to prove that He has on earth the same authority tb forgive sins which His Father pos- sessed in Heaven. "I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house, " The 'bed' which the sick man was to take 650 and $1-41 all druggist's up was • the common 'mattress -like nanet on which tbe people were wont to throw themsIlslves down for a mid- day sleep. It could be easily, roiled up nester the arm, "And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went- forth before them all." The cure, as in the ease of most of Christ's miracles, was im- mediate and complete. It made an un- answerable reply to the scribe's cri- ticisms. , "insomuch that they were all amazed," • Scribes and all, though the scribes would not join the others in glorifyiag God, for :they weuld not 'attribute the Mire to God, but to sonic trickery or black art, or Christ's con- nivance with Satan, "And glorified God." The healed man himself took the lead in this praise of God. This glorifying of God rather • than •of Christ was precisely as Christ would have it; "Saying,. We never saw 11 on this fashion,' . The Saviour of Sinners "And it came to pass that he was sitting at meat in his house, " Not at Christ's house, but at the house of Matthew (Levi) the publicata who had just bcOotne a follower of Christ and who celebrated the event by giviftg 'a great feast' to Say farewell to his old life, and doubtless to urge his publican friends to 'follow his elt- Iample., ",And many publicans and sin- ners sat down with Jesits and Mis dis- , Low Cut Cashrnerette rse37 and • Velvet Overshoes in Greys, Pawnee/Id Black, with. pinto or contrasting shadee cuff, •provide serviceable footwerer tQ harmonez,e with esedish Fall .iat'd Winter attire. •Northern" Footvveaspr Comfy Styles r Rough Days Something more than serviceable mid wearable is—'s‘tNyolerdtt^Ircitl'p'leviailtwar1 attract.

The publicans were ranked by. the Jews with the vilest sinners. "For there were malty, and they fol- lowed Him." Capernaum was on the frontier between the tetrarehy of Her- od Antipas and that of 'Herod Philip, and was moreover oil the main cara- van route between Syria end Egypt. There were therefore many publicans itt Ca'pernaum and the neighboring towns, collecting the customs as well as the internal revenue. "And the scribes of the Pharisees." Some scribes belonged to the •Sad- ducees, the freer sect, but these scribes were of the strict sect of the Pharisees, intensely bigoted, but at the same time intensely patriotic, and therefore hating the publican most bitterly. "When they saw that He was eating with the sinners and publicans." The act of eating with a man esta.blished, in the eyes of the Jews, a close relation of friendship with him. "Said unto His •disciples, How is it that He eateth and drink- eth With publicans and sinners?" "And when Jesus heard it." Doubt less fhe disciples told Him; perhaps some of them were disturbed by the same matter. •"lie saith unto them, They that are whole have xio need of a physician, but they that are sick." as far as possible with his critics; "I eanse not to call the righteous, but sianers."
