Il4. Golden Text—Rom. 13:10. In the first seven verses of this chapter Paul discusses the subject of he duty which Christians owe to civil overnment. The Christian religion contemplated the rearing of a 'king- dom amid other kingdoms. Chris- tians professed supreme allegiance to he Lord Jesus Christ; he was their law -giver, their sovereign, their judge. It became, therefore, a question of great importance and difficulty, what kind of allegiance they were to render to earthly magistrates. The kingdoms of the world were then pagan king- doms. They had been generally founded in conquest and oppression. Many of the monarchs were blood- stained warriors, were unprincipled men, were polluted in their private, and oppressive in their public char- acter. It was a serious question whether Christians were to acknowl- edge the laws of such kingdoms and of such men. Paul sets forth the great principles on which all Chris- tians are to act in this chapter and from his discourse we gather (1) That government is essential, and its necessity is recognized by God, and it is arranged by his providence. He has never been the patron of an- archy and disorder. (2) Civil rulers are dependent on God. He has the. entire control over them, and can set them up or put them down when he pleases. (3) The authority of God is superior to that of civil rulers. They have no right to make enact- ments which interfere with his auth- ority. (4) It is not the business of civil rulers to regulate or control re- ligion. That is a distinct depart- ment, with which they have no con- cern, except to protect it. The rights of all men are to be preserved. Men are to be allowed to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience, and to be protected in those rights, provided they do not violate the peace and order of the community. (6) Civil rulers have no right to persecute Christians, or to attempt to secure conformity to their views by force. The conscience can- not he compelled; and in the affairs of religion man must be free. Paul sums up his statements thus: "Ren- der therefore to all their idols; tri- bute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom` fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man anything, but to love one another for he that loveth another fulfilleth the law." This injunction is often repeated in the Bible. It is one of the most lovely and obvious of the duties of religion. Christianity is not designed to break in upon the proper order of society, but rather to establish and confirm that order. It does not rudely assail existing in- stitutions; but it comes to put them on a proper footing, to diffuse •a mild and pure influence over all, and to secure such an influence .in all the relations of life as shall tend to pro- mote the happiness of man and the welfare of the community. Concern- ing the payment of just debts Paul teaches that there is a debt which can never be discharged so long as there is opportunity to do good. In order to illustrate this Paul runs over in the next verse, the laws of the ten commandments in relation to our conduct towards our neighbor. If the law of love were engraven on every man's hearts, and practised in his life, what a change would it im- mediately produce in society; all men would at once abandon that which is fitted to work ill to others, what an influence would it have on the business and commercial affairs of men. How many plans of fraud and dishonesty would it at once ar- rest. How many schemes would it crush. It would silence the voice of the slanderer; it would stay the plans of the seducer and the adulterer; it would put an end to cheating and fraud, and all schemes of dishonest gain. The gambler desires the pro- perty of his neighbor without any compensation, and thus works ill to him. There are many employments to all whose tendency is to work ill to a neighbor. This is pre-eminent- ly true in the traffic in spirituous liquors. It cannot do him good, and the almost uniform result is to de- prive him of hie property, health, re-, putation, peace, and domestic corn - fort. He that sells his neighbor liquid fire, knowing what must be the restart of it, is not pursuing a busi- ness which works no ill to him; and love to that neighbor would prompt him to abandon the traffic. "Woe un- to him that giveth his neighbor drink." (Hab. 2:15). — Condensed from Barnes' Commentary. Coreseining valuable suggestions on home pinnnikg cSt>O Gypros, l ccboard and Inoulen.

When the venerable lady did succumb court etiquette cancelled a young peo- ple's dance at, Government House, thus drawing attention for the mom- ent to the end of a long career. The former Empress was 81 years old and for some years had been living 'mod- estly in a two-storey villa in Den- mark. Though in retirement. and mourning it is said that the most rig- id court ceremonial was imposed on the few attendants who remained to her, and she was treated • in all out- ward respects as though she were the nominal head of a great state and the source of unlimited power and authority. The old lady had fail- ed mentally, and one of her delusions was that her son, the late Czar and his family, still lived and, were pris- oners in some part of tiussia. Only egeasionally did she make a state- ment for the outside world, the last being a denunciation of the preten- tion•s of the young woman who says she is the Princess Anastasia. It was because of her surviving hope that she refused to admit the claims of the Grand Duke Cyril to whatever re- mains of the Russian throne. His claims, though empty, are not now to be contested unless it might be by the Russian people. The former Empress was christened Dagmar and was one of the tall, comely daughters of the King of Den- mark, of whom the loveliest was the late Queen Alexandra. There was an- other sister and three brothers, all stalwart, healthy and charming young people. It was no wonder that heirs apparent turned toward the fine look- ing Danes when on the lookout for suitable mates who might bring streams of wholesome Northern blood to royal houses that had begun to breed rather fine. So good were the matches they made that their father was called the "father-in-law" of Europe. But no dynastic complica- tions came from these unions. Thiy were as truly affairs of the heart as The country roads were trails through, swamps or over stony ridges - with stumps where trees had grown. Often the doctor and nurse were cal- led to drive forty or fifty miles into the country. Breakdowns of the ve- hicle were to be expected, and some- times they arrived too late. More often they were able to relieve pain and often to save life. For his fee for one such trip the doctor points with pride to two jack pines growing in his front garden. . Through his efforts a larger hospi- tal, a School Home, a Community Church, and a Service League are ministering to that district. As the doctor says, "Medical work may in time become monotonous,' especially when "something more than benevolence" was needed to come to a better understanding with the Ukranian people in whom he was particularly interested. He felt that what was needed was the scattering of information broadcast among the people. They needed education. In his own words: "When we admit a vast number of other people into the melting pot" we just .have to melt along with them. Let us join to- gether as Canadians and seek the best things from whatever country they may come."—(The Missionary Monthly) . WORLD MISSIONS Dr. A. J.

THOUSANDS OF MOTHERS USE NO OTHER MEDICINE ever royal matches are for there was never any political reason why the good will of Denmark should be cov- eted, nor any reason why a foreign power should seek to ingratiate itself with the poverty-stricken ruler of the country. Dagmar was not sixteen when she was vicariously woed for Nicholas; the eldest son of Alexan- der II., Czar of Russia, but after that betrothal the young man died of con- sumption at Nice. -He had grown so fond of the handsome girl that he be- sought her to make his brother happy by becoming his wife and she con- sented. They were married, Dagmar chang- ing her name on being admitted to the Greek Church, and with her young husband die proceeded to establish herself in ,St. Petersburg as a social leader. The !transition from the moderate comforts of the Copenhagen court to the splendors of the Czar's palaces was akin to the swift passage from genteel poverty to Oriental lux- ury and the young princess enjoyed herself as avidly as any other young matron who for the first time in her life found herself with unlimited money to spend and hundreds . of charming young people whose chief aim in life seemed to be amuse her. Her great passion was dancing and she was noted as a waltzer and per- former of the mazurka. After she became Empress it used to be said that the foreign powers sought to send to the Russian court diplomats who, whatever their other qualifica- tions, were graceful and tireless dan- cers. 'These were admitted immedi- ately to the graced of the Empress. So fond was Dagmar of dancing that she excited comment, and perhaps roused some wholly unexpected and unfamiliar feelings in the bosom of her husband. In the end he became devoted to her, and she to him ' and the children, who came, although it was supposed that her heart had been really given to the, elder brother who was handsome and brilliant. It was only gradually that the plea- sure -loving girl, turned into the anxi- ous, sombre woman who had learned upon what a foundation of misery and tyranny the Russian Empire was founded. One day while she sat with her husband she heard the explosions which meant that another Czar had been assassinated, that Alexander had come to the throne, and that she with him shared the allegiance of a hun- dred million people. From that time it is probable that she was never en- tirely free of the fear of a violent death, not for herself so much as for those she loved. Time and again they escaped by what seemed • to be a mir- acle. In the end she used to carry with her always, a small dagger and work pistol. On one occasion she foiled the atte npt of a nihilist to murder the child she carried. in her arms. *rhe would-be nnurderess had' gained access to the prisrate apartments of the'C2arina gashed ,as a palace nurse.

Canadian mothers are noted for the care they give their little ones—the health of the baby is most jealously guarded and the mother is always on the lookout for a remedy which is ef- ficient and at the same time absolute- ly safe. Thousands of mothers have found such a remedy in Baby's Own Tablets and many of them use noth- ing else for the ailments of their lit- tle ones. Among them is Mrs. How- ard King, of Truro, N.'S., who says•:— "I can strongly recommend Baby's Own Tablets to mothers of young children as I know of nothing to eq- ual them for little ones." o Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or .by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHAT IS A WEEK? There are few words used oftener than Week. In a week's time, we say, and we talk of things that hap- pen weekly, but rarely, do we ask what a week is, says a writer in My Magazine. Some would reply readily that a week is a group of seven days, but that will not do. In some parts of the world it is a group of three days, and in others a week is ten days. At the French Revolution there was an attempt to reform the calendar and go -back to the ways of ancient Greece counting thirty days to every month and making every month contain three weeks.
