III. The question discussed by the council (vs. 6-21;. After there had been much discussion tri the council Peter made a speech tett. 7-11) in which he re- lated his own experience of the heavenly vision (10. 9-16), and told them how the baptism of the Holy Spirit had been riven to the Gentiles the same as to the Jews thus giving the divine endorsement to the new order •>€ things. Then Paul and Barnabas addressed the assembly Ieelaring that God had endorsed their actions by miracle and wonders which he had wrought zmeng the Gentiles by titeni (v. 12. Then Jaynes, the president of the council and paetor of the Jeru- salem church, mal a very strict Jew, made a speech 4',H. 13-21). After listen- iug to the ar,•zm its he had become convinced that Me Holy Spirit had en- dorsed the mo"fetnunt among the Gen- tiles.

It was. herd for sense .lett; to give up ancient traditions and practices; to put Ohriet's eaords, ()Arista death and Christ's mediation, instead of tate law, the sacrifices and the priests. Certain of these, from Judea, went to Antioeh, while Paul and Bar- nabae were there, and declared that no Gentile, unless circumcised after the manner of close, could be saved (v. 1). •'A good while ago" (v. 7). At least fifteen years before the question had been settled -that God also to the Gen- tiles had granted repenlanoe unto life" (v. 7; 11: 18). Rut now these Jews raised the question of the conditions upon which these Gentiles might have eternal life. They claimed that circu.m- clelon was essential to salvation, that to become a Gltristia.n the hen then must first become a Jew. They would not Hetet to Paul and :t3arnabas, and a divi- sion of the chuleh at At•tioeh was im- minent. I1. The conference united. "Then pleased it the apostles rued ell.iers, with - the whole church" (v. 22). They began with emelt disputing" (v. 7), but they -put on love' which. is tate bond of per- feetness" (Col. 3: 14, 1.. V.), and in sending the letters by "chief men" (v 22) to the Gentiles, all the body '`were of the same mind in the Lord" (Phil. 4: 2), "having come to one accord" (v. 23 It. V.) The church, being "one" body in Gimlet (Rom.o 12: 13), should be of "one" mind (Phil 1: 27), "endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit" (Eph. 4: 3). . 01. The conference courteous, "Send with Paul and Bernabas . thief men" (v. 22). Paul and Peter and James lived out the truths they taught to others (1 Cor. 13: 5; 1 Peter 3: 8; Jae. 3: 17, merg.) The courerenee raider their direction did not dismiss the depu- tation with a cold and formal resolu- tion. It sent two influeglial members of the church with letters to accompany Paul and Barnabas, and these greeted the Syrian church and laid the matter betcre thein, and prevented a division telae decision as a command, but sent a brotherly statement of what, under the direction of the Spirit, they were euro should be done.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW Montreal: There has been little of no change in the trade situation here during the past week. Some improvement in weather conditions has given a slightly better tone to the movement of season- able lines, and the sorting trade in dry goods, clothing, etc., has been fairly good. The volume of grocery business is re- ported to be inereasing. Values bold steady. Hardware lines are going for. ward fairly well, Toronto: More seasonable weather has given some impetus to wholesale trade here, sorting orders for general linear having increased somewhat during the latter part of the week. Orders for fall dry goods are good, and it is understood that stocks of summer lines are light and will likely need replenishing early in the season. The trade in linens and household goods has been active. A good demand for general wholesale lines is reported from. the West and most Ontario centres. Winnipeg: C!oneral business here moves along satisfactorily. The demand for seasonable lines at wholesale has improved during the week, and the out- look for fall trade is brighter. Remit- tances are oitly fair, but may be ex- peeted to improve when seeding is finished. Vancouver and Victoria: Both whole- sale and retail trade here has shown a tendenc•.y to inerease during the past week. Quebec: Backward weather has af- fected country trade; the latter is mod- erate in volume. Hamilton: Trade here has shown some improvement during the past week owing to better weather conditions. A fair sorting trade is in evidenoe, and wholesalers in some lines report a slight betterment in collections. Maatitfac- turers of farmers implements report good orders on hand, and the outlook for fall business is generally considered bright. • London: The sorting trade in dry goods, clothing., ete., has shown some little improvement during the past week, although the movement is still consider- ably behind expectations. `n t on Ottaw Business here conte ties a est the quiet side, although stoeks are mov- ing more briskly than was the ease a week ago.
