It is Christianity to say that sinners shall be saved. Christ did not come to "save the righteous but to save signet's. The Creator of man• kind rejoices more over the repen- tance of one acknowledged repen- tant sinner than over ninety-nine just meu. Aud why I The sinner has desires and inclinations which he knows are not in accordance with his Maker's wishes. Ho gives way to them sometimes. He re- covers himself. He trips and stumbles at times during his whole life It requires an effort, almost a superhuman effort, to use the God Like in him to strike a fair average compliance with Christ's teachings. He knows he cannot be perfect, no man can. He wrestles and battles with what ie imperfect in his nature. He triumphs, he is beaten, he triumphs again and at the end secures divine mercy. He knows be is not, saved. He knows he never will be saved until the fiat of the great Judge pronounces it. Let ns take the saved men. 11e is one with negative qualities.

A few designs. weeks ago he addreesed the National Club at Toronto. The following excerpts will give a fair idea of what a Reformer is, and will prove that there is not much of Grit about hon or the butter element of his party:— "I think it will be generally ad- mitted, Mr. Chairman, that our political horizon, both internal and external, is at present somewhat uncertain. The old political land- marks are disappearing. Young men are coming to the front. The thrill of new political forces is beiug felt. Several new questions, with important and somewhat dis- turbing tendeucies, have arisen, and I never before• felt so strongly, that whatever may be our political opiu• ions, whether Conservative or Liberal, wo should all realize that above and beyond alt political par- ties we are Canadiaus, whose coun- try has reached the verge of nation• al manhood, and whose highest intelligence and patriotism are needed to solve the great political problems iucident to our position." "With all its blemishes, the record of the British Monarchy is a grand one. Against Philip of Spain and his Armada, against Louis 14th at Blenheim and Rami• lies, and at the great battle of Water- loo—when the power (,f Napoleon was finally shivered to atoms—it can justly claim to have, almost single-handed, thrice saved the liberties of the world. The world owes more to it today than to any other power : Civil liberty, repre- sentative government, religious toleration, its purest literature and its freest commerce." "Whilst, therefore, we may cher ish the most kindly feelings to- wards our American cousins, whilst we may admire the great Republic and wish it God speed in its grand career, I have mistaken my follow - countrymen if they are not too proud of the races from which we have sprung, too hopeful of a great future for Canadian Nationality, to ever seriously think of separation from Great Britain to join any other nation." he is an affected hypocrite, who drosses himself in the saved garb of heaven to secretly serve the devil in. Christianity is not for him any more than it was for the Phari- eees of old. He is saved, cured, needs none of the medicine of divine mercy. The sinner does, and uses it, and ro•nses it. The sinner who tranagressos,acknowled- gee and repents is the Christian ; the roan who declares he does not stn, has no need of repentance, is the over confident Pharisee who may be plucked at the final exami- nation.
