He that welcomes the apostles and listens to them is listening to the voice of Jesus Christ and of God himself. It wn.s not long before the seventy re- turned with joy because of their auc- agissl PRACTICAL SI7ItYEY. The mission. The account of the sending forth of the seventy is given by :Luke alone. The number corres- ponds to the seventy elders ap- pointed in the wilderness to aid in the government of Israel, as the number in the permanent body of apostles was the same as they mem- ber of the tribes or/greet. The mis- sion of the seventy was short, as Christ was rearing the end of his earthly Life, and they were to go before him to the several nettles and places whither he himself would come." S::venty men going forth Me and two could, in a very few weeks at most, go over the ground which Jesus would visit in .the short time that lie Was to remain upon earth. He exhorted them to pray that lab- orers should be sent into the har- vest'. They were in a position to help to answer their own prayers. If God could secure the laborers whom he wished to employ with. their full and perfect service, and the willing offerings that are due his cause, the pure gospel of Christ would be spread over the earth, .anti the kingdoms o: this world would 'be- come the kingdoms of our Christ. Directions. -They were not • sent o'ut on a pleasure tr:p, as the warn- ings and directions clearly indi- >cba,te. "As lambs in the midst of wolves" is the comparison used. Na- turally the lambs would be destroy- ed, and dangers as threatening w.oula attend them on. their mission, but supernatural protection was .to be theirs. •Tiley were not out for gain, not for ease. No baggage nor money was to interfere with the one thing ,they had to do. , Their !business required baste, and they could not stop for soma.; i itercourse. Received or rejected. Tines were told to effect that they -would not be welcomed everywhere, but they were to go and make their mission known. If the messengers were re- ceived their sick were to be healed, and the nearness to them' of the kingdom of ;Christ was to he de- plored. They were to know that a gracious opportunity was theirs to embrace. Upon the whole it is bet- ter for people and communities to have the light of God than not to have it, but it would be better for t.liose rojeoting the light if they had never base; it. "afore tol.roble for Sodom than for that city" is an ex- pression of awful import. Rejoicing in suectee-Elated with their success they return, We are not told what proportion of the cities received theist, but we know that they must have, found welcome somewhere, for they were to pin form m'raeles where they were receive. True ground of rejoicing- There woe somethf:ng better for them; to re- joice over than they supposed. Bet- ter than to be numbered among miracle workers is it -to have one's name written in Heaven. Better Is it than to be enrolled in lists of statesmen„ soldiers, preachers or millionaires. If one's name is writ- ten to Heaven, he is constituted a citizen of that kingdom and the reeond is infallible. Heaven is his .home, Iris centre of attraction. The seventy honored -They had not conte from the ]sigh and noble, but God had bestowed honor upon them in showing them the truth and Rio power, and by writing their names in Haven.

Attempted Assassination of Spnnish • Premier at EBarcelona. Barcelona, April r. -Late to -night a semi-official report of the attack on Premier Maura was issued, according to which the assailant concealed a leitchen 1.-nife,:with which he stabbed the Prem- ier, but the force .of the blow was brok- en, and its direction. diverted by the heavy lace on the Minister's coat, result- ing only in a slight scratch under the sixth rib. A doctor attached to King Alfonso's suite examined the Premier,' and prescribed a few hours' rest. His Majesty sent a messenger to inquire concerning the attack, and as to the Prime Miiiisteren condition. Jaoquin Miguel Artao, the assailant, was employed as a domestic. He is an .Anarchist, and when arrested attempted suicide 'by dashing his head against the 'wall. He was injured. "'According to another account the Premier coolly drew the knife from his clothing and threw it on a seat in his carriage, after whieh he entered the pal- ace, walked upstairs and telephoned to the Minister of the Guerra at Madrid, saying;• "Y have been stabbed. Don't be alarm- ed. The wound is nut serious," Premier Maura is very unpopular in Catalonia, owing to his firm attitude in suppressing labor disorders. The attack was made just after he had distributed 3,000 pesetas to the poor. Various conflicting reports of what happened spread rapidly. It appears that Premier Maurer had just entered bis car- riage when the attempt upon his life vvas made. Ile was able to alight with- out' assistance and to return to the Council ,building. The King afterwards visited him there. The Premier was able to converse by telephone with his wife at Madrid, after which, on his physician's imperative or- ders. he went to bed.

The rescued passenger fell over- board through losing lits balance while sitting on the rail, When the ships arrived In London he made Lancaster a present of £50. SAVED FROM SHARKS.

'Morav- ian, while ,the vessel lay• n.t anchor at the Natal roads, off Durban,have been obtained. A l:assenger fell overboard and was rescued by the storekeeper, a, young man named Lancaster, not - (withstanding the proximity of ah number of sharks.

Bradstreet's on Trade. Wholesale trade at Montreal this week has been moderately active, but without any special feature. There has been quite a good forting trade in spring and early summer goods, and the outlook for business is bright. Business at Toronto has been favor- ably affected this week by a freer move- ment of railroad freight than experi- enced for a good many weeks. There has been a good recovery in domestic secur- ities. The prospects for trade are prom- ising, Trade conditions at Quebec are only . ,fair, which is accounted for owing to the backwardness of the season. At Victoria, Vancouver and other Pa- cific coast distributing centres wholesale 'trade is developing a little more activ- ity. The prospects for the spring and summer trade are bright. At Winnipeg wholesale trade is look- ing up. There is a very fair sorting business being done now. The reductions in the prices of lumber are expected to have a stimulating effect on building operations. Hamilton wholesale trade has been fairly active this week. The various local industries. are active, as reported to Bradstreet's, and good wages are be. ing paid. Retail sales are larger. The general outlook for the jobbing trade is bright. In London this week the demand from the jobbers has been very fan•. Retail- ers ltave been buying quite liberally. Ottawa vvbelesale trade is showing sonic expansion in certain lines.
