Stewart, recently, before the 0 aistian Endeavor Society of Carmel churei, Hen- na : , . HEBREWS, _I.; 1.9. In these verses of Holy Soriptur which we are considering to -night, we h ve the testimony of divine inspirationre arcling the princely lineage and esaential di nity of our Royal Brother, the Lord Jesus Christ, He was not only before all things, ut He made all things by the word of Hi power, and when in the beginning "the orning stars sang together and all the son of God shouted for joy," it was but the prelude to the great mediatorial work whiohl Christ °erne into the world to accomplish Man carne and fell; the promise was given that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent'a head; the prophets wrote and spoke of the coming deliverer down hrough the ages • the world waited ; and w en the fulness of time-- was oome, the ang Is who sang at the world's birth, came 01 t upon the battlements of heaven the seem L time, and, in heavenly chorus, announced the ad- veht of Him who was its creator, nd who waff to be its deliverer. It is a great thing to have a fr end at coart, especially when we are in circum- stances of peculiar dangeror diffiou y, and, so much the more if that friend is un elfishly ' interested in us, and has great infIttence at court. How consoling it should be to us that amidst the sorrows,' difficulties and trials of life, divine inspiration aseures us that we have just such a friend and brother in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is all power - full ; lie made the worlds. He is un elfishly interested in us; He gave his life for ue. Hes acquainted with us; He knoweth our frame, and was tempted in all point li like as we are. .He has great influence at, 3ourt ; Ho is at the right hand of the MajestY on High. Let us seek to be like Him who was the iprince of peace ; let us striv to do nothing dishonoring to that worthr name by, which we are called, and let is have sorto part in seeking to carry out His dy- in commission: "Go ye into all the world and disciple all nations. • PAST RECORD OF LIFE SAVING.

If Jerusalem is the most interesting city in the world it is the most disappointing. The genuine Jerusalem houses are low, and have flat stone roofs with low dolma in the centre to catch as much rain water, as pos- sible. The Jews' houses are the filthiest tene- ments ever -seen, the doors are not high enough to enter without stooping (a pre- cautionary measure in case of disturbances), and a wall is generally 'built partly across the entrance passage, preventing passers-by from getting even a glimpse of the interior. The streets are of the narrowest descrip- tion, in many p1a3es arohed over; some are but a series of "steps, in rainy weather almost impassable on account of the mud. A walk through the smaller streets is a thing to remember ; they are about as wide as a dining table, slippery with refuse, and, being covered in many places, devoid of sun and fresh air. The shops are dark, and down the murky thoroughfare crowd dirty people, carrying. meat, fish, rubbish, etc.; amid them parade eolenan donkey; quite unconscious that their burdens are wider than themselves, and every passer-by is shouting, quarreling and screaming. Jeru- salem seen from a Instance, however, has a glory of its own, and the climate is as healthy as any in the world.—Maragret Thomas. How One Gets Bilious. A sluggish liver fails to filter the bile from the blood, ad when the poisonous matter goes through the bloo in the circulation, the whole system is tainted and deranged. This is called biliousness, and can be completely cured by Dr. A. W. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, which act directly on • the -liver, making it healthy and active. One pill a dove, 25 cents a box.

Mr: Warner has been prominently identified with the patent medicine business in years past and was also intereeted in mining schemes and -other en- terpriees.

Vera Douglas at one time had a Russian Grand Duke in her train, and her conquests in New York and the 01s1 World were not- able on acoant of her beauty. The above story is corroborated by the young woman's parents, who have been notified of her death, and her body will probably be shipped to them. —Chatham was shocked to learn of the death of Wm, A. Campbell, who was killed by falling off a C. P, R. tram at Milton, on Monday night of last week. Mr. Campbell was 65 years of age, and since 1870 had been clerk of the county court of Kent. He was accompanying the remains of Miss • Giese to Toronto for burial, and intended to say farewiell to his son, Sergeant W. A. Campbell, jr., of the London section -of the Canadian Mounted Rill 's, now at Toronto, bound for South Afrie . It appears that Mr. Campbell was paled g from the dining oar to a coach, and was jolted eff the plat- form, alighting on his h ad, killing him hi - 1 gl ently. The deceased ormetly resided in Woodstock, where he n arried Blanche In- gersoll. He widow and several children survive. Mr. D. Glass, manager of the Bank of -Montreal, Chatham, was with Mr. Campbell on the train. They were taking Miss Glass' remains to Toronto for burial. He was a very popular man in his own tOwn, and was well known all over Ontario. Odd Ways of Earning a Living.
