sacrifices contrasted. (a) Abel's
to "fatness of the flock," and
confession of sin and recugni-
lie necessity for atonement.
n s was of the "fruit of the ground."
It was the b1u•odless sacrifice of self-
sufficieney and self-righteousness. (b)
\Vliile one reason for the rejection of
Cain's offering was that it tailed to re=
cognize the necessity fur confession of
sin and the necessity for atonement. The
difference in the spirit of the two hien
Wren had much to do with the acceptance
of one and the rejection of the other.
God cares little fur the forms of wor-
ship. He who would be accepted of him
must worship in ".pint and in truth"
(John iv. 19.24.) Cain's, worship was a
mere form.
3. In some way God made known to
Abel that 1Ie was accepted, and to (Fain
that he was rejected. _Neither was left
in. doubt. So we may know whether we
are accepted of God. or not (2 Cor. xviii.
5; 1 John iii. 19-'22.)
I1. The crime. 1. It ,was deliberately
committed, not a result of sudden im-
pulse or temptation. (a) God spoke to
Cain and expostulated with him con-
cerning his anger against, his brother
(vs. 0.7)- (b) it is evident, also, that
Cain discussed the matter with Abel (v.
8). (c) But he nursed the twin demons
of jealousy and hatred toward his bro-
ther until they brought forth their legi-
tianate offspring -mustier (S. S. viii. 0;
1 John iii. 150 Thus ;nen: deliberately sin
against God still (Ecol. viii. 11).
2 Cain chose a favorable time for
his crime, "When they were (alone) in
the field." When Abel was entirely un-
suspecting, Cain fall upon him. Thus
evil nien ever seek convenient occasion
for their sin (2 Sam. iii: 27; John iii;
19, 20).
Cain was obdurate, defiant, impeni-
tent in his sin (v. viv.). "I know not.
Am I my brother's keeper?" He had
sinned against light, resisted reproof,
indulged impious rage against God and
his Mother, and committed murder.' To
nit e,
it this he n:l,lert defiant fiv�nt im a one

p
(a) He del sed his eaime, (b) Endeavored
to evade ail responwibility in the matter.
(c) How like sinners of all ages and
classes. They seek to cover their sins,
and, failing in, this, to evade responsib-
ility for them. No state is more danger-
ous before God; destruction is near at
hand for such (Psalm lxxiii. 1-12, 17-
20.)
TII. The penalty. 1. In this we Bove an

Bradstreet's Trade kaview,
Montreal -The general trade move -
ment continues a little on the quiet
side, but it is merely a temporary re-
spite, as, from all appearances the trade
of the coming spring and summer is go-
ing to be one of the biggest on record.
Tlie retail trade is showing its confi-
dence in the general prosperity by plac-
ing large orders for spring lines. Manu-
facturers in certain lines, particularly
in drygoocls, have taken all the orders
( they will be able to fill this season and
there is little chance for relief from the
high prices which have been ruling for
these• commodities. For the most part
the weather was held very well and a
good sorting trade is expected to. open
out for winter lines shortly. Collec-
tions are generally good. There is a
big business being done in hardware and
metals. The market for steel and iron
holds firm with a brisk demand.
Winnipeg -In the absence of trade
activity wholesalers are busy stock tac-
ing and it is generally reported they
are much pleased at the result of the
year's business as shown forth in the
annual inventory. Trade has a genet
tone and it will continue so for two or
three weeks . but the outlook tor the
coming season is exceedingly favorable.
Spring orders are large and deliveries
will continue shortly. Collections are
fair to good.
Vancouver and Victoria -Business eon-
tinues active all along the coast. The
lumber business is keeping brisk. Good
orders for next spring are coming in
although this season's orders are not yet
filled. There is a great demand for
heavy railr'oacl timbers and lumber
prices generally are expected to go high-
er. General wholesale trade is mov-
ing well. Values in all lines are well
maintained. Collections are good.
Quebec -Now that the holiday trade
is over. active preparations are under
way amongst the retaile€s for stock-
taking. The year, as a rule, has been
satisfactory and favorable results are
expected. Travellers have again start-
•ed on theft various routes and whole-
salers look forward to orders corning
irk No immediate improvement is
noticedits country collections. Local
industries are fairly well employed.
SCALDED BY
BOILING FAT

NMONTH,
•Zorn-Buk Then Applied - and gave
Instant Relief. -
i,
An accident in a Toronto home the
other day might have had very serious
consequences had it not been for Zam-
Buk. Miss Martha Green, of 1) Claremont
street, in taking Al pan of boiling fat
from the oven, spilt it over her right
hand. "The boiling fat ran into the
palm of my hand," she says, hand over•
all niy fingers. You may well imagine
the agony I suffered in consequence. The.,
hand became swollen, and large blisters
formed all over the palm and along the
fingers. For over a month 1 was unable
to use the hand at all. I tried several .
kinds of salves and liniments, but the
wound seemed apparently no better.
.About this time I was advised to stop
using all other preparations, and try
Zaire-Buk instead, The very first apple.
cation soothed my hand and seemed to
draw out the fire and inflammation;
and as I kept on using Zam-Buk the
blisters gradually dried up and disap-
peared. In a very short time the scald
was healed completely."
Zana-13uk is equally effective for burns,
cuts, bruises, abrasions, sprains and stiff-
ness. It also cures eczema, ulcers, sores,.
blood poison, ringworm, scalp sores,
chronic wounds, acne, binekheads, pim-
ples, cold sores, chapped hands, and all
skin diseases and injuries. Rubbed well
on the chest, in eases of cold, it relieves
the aching and tightness, and applied as
an embrocation it cures rheumatism, sci-
atica, neuralgia, ete. All druggists and
stores sell Zam-13uk at 50e. a box. or it
may be obtained from the Zam-l3uk Co.,

BRITAIN AND THE MAINTENANCE
OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Paris, Jan. 14.-WVm, T. Stead, the
well-known English journalist, who ar-
rived here yesterday, says in an inter-
view that he is on his way around the
world in the interest of peace. Ise furth-
er declares that he is authorized by the
British Premier, Sir Henry Campbell -
Bannerman, to say that Great Britain,
if no other country did so, would at the
approaching second peace conference at
The Hague raise' the question of taking
steps to provide for the maintenance of
international peace. This, Mr. Stead says,
will be done in the form of the proposi-
tions, ,Ass folows:
• First. That each country participat-
ing in the conference appropriate a sum
of money to be used in the propogation
of the idea, of maintaining international
peace.
Second. That each eounta;v participat-
ing in the conference render obligatory
the observance of article viii. of the Act
of the Peace Conference of 1390, per-
mitting a third power to tender media-
tion, without giving offence., between
two disputing powers, and also that the
participating powers extend the scope of
article viii. so as to hind the signatories,
in ease of a declaration of war, not to
begin hostilities for a fortnight, in which
interim friendly powers would have the
right to intervene in an attempt to ad
just the quarrel.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Edward Bridant to he Tried for Death of
His Wife.
Toronto report: Edward Dridant, bar -
her, was yesterday indicted by the Grand
Jury on a charge of murder arising out
of the tragic death of his young wife,
Mrs. Amies Bridant, as the result of
blood -poisoning, mused oy an illegal op-
eration. Mrs, Lillian Miller, practising
as the De Voss Medicine Company at 210
Queen street east, who was also arrest-
ed in connection with the same' charge,
will not have to answer a (barge,of
murder, the jury having returned - no
hill" in her case, but she will be tried
on a charge of using and supplying
means for performing an illegal opera-
tion. Bridant and Mrs. Miller will be
placed on trial at the present Crim-
inal Assizes before Mr. Justice Brt.t-
ton, but the day for the trial has not
as yet been fixed by the Crown. •

It es curable -permanently curable.
`Even eases of long standing, which have -
been given up by the •doctors, yield sure-
ly to
Dr. H. H. Mack's
Rheumatism Compound
This is a new remedy-, but wherever it
has been tried, it is hailed as a blessing.
Dr, Mack has spared no expense in its
preparation -he has spent years of study
in formulating it. And the remarkable
work it has already done has proved hie
reliable .and superior.
lfr. G. W. Mack was struck by the,
work of this compound. After thorough
investigation of the cures, he has sub-.
stantialiy backed the debtor (his cousin)
in placing it within reach of every suf.
fever. No business man would do this
with an article unless it were absolutely
reliable and superior. .
