Indeed ours might without reser-

bore of the Salvation Army for the
possession of Christisuity than to
many of those whc ahn at carrying
it out more orderly while they are
merely tradiug upon their affected
holiness by coming out of their
shops and places of bn9iuess and
making the pulpit a means of
advertising themselves and their
business. Salvationists do uot
aitn to make Christianity "pay"
in' tbd secular sense of the
term. Unordained members of
orthodox churches who commit
sacrilege in pulpits damn every one
but themselves. Thoy are saved !
They know it, when they cannot
possibly know it. No man knows

doctrine for any Willie') being to
assert he.is saved. Leta probation-

not so confident, who had, though,
done all he could, passes. Thus
the saved is rejected and the non -
confident is accepted.
Christianity is .not au exact
science. We kuow that the suin of
2 and 2 is four. We do not know
that any number of allegations that
a lean is saved insuree hie salva-
tion.
All religion is Christianity but
all Christianity is not religion. 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-

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. The self acknowledged,
trembling sinner, who acknowledges
the need for repentance, and whose

eternally on the Conservative party
