He crawled on board, aud the captain wait touched at the sight of this woruuut wreck of a man, and made things easy for hien. They had a splendid run home. Rory gathering health each day, and by the time they reached port he bad regained much of his old vigor. When Rory was paid off, lie quietly buttoned the gold. into bis pocket, walked past several gin - places, and hunted about till he found a shop which kept ladies' articles of dress. The question which had puzzled Rory all the way home was what kind of a bonnet would please his mother best ; but he bad no difficulty in deciding when he saw the one with the big bunch of peony roses. It was splendid—just the very thing—wee sure to fit. It took his fancy en- tirely, and' he had it dons up in a square box, which he tucked under his arm, and -took the road for the north. Rory had been tenderly brought up by his mother in a little village at the foot of the Cromdale hills in the Spey -valley, and when ho was sober he never forgot her or his early surroundings. Dere was the only image iu heaven or earth tot which he bowed tho,knee, and some times he wrote letters to her. IIu would sprawl on a mess -room table with a pen in his stilf•jointod hand, and all his fingers smudgy with iuk, aud, send her tender messages and his blessing, and love to his woo playmate, Jeanie. About a week later, Rory, foots sore and weary, and in, ragged •clothes, but with a great softness of• heart and dewy eyesight, saw the heather -clad slopes of the hills he had never ceased to love.. 'Orem- dale,' he Murmured ; •C -r o•m- d-a-i•e,' as if the name was music to his ear. Ile walked on till he carte to the •little ivy-covered church, then got over the style and tururd down among the pine -trees by a little worn path every twist of which he remembered well. Euclid avenue Methodist Church, Toronto, wits crowded at both services yeaterday, when the pastor, Rev. A. M. Phillipa, apoke on the subject, "Why the sacrifice of Christ." Mr. Phillips is a radical iu religious matters.. Tho central tleme of all his sermons is the fatherhood of God, and from that ho deduced a system of theology that, whether conformable to the canons or mit, is certainly popular with his hearers. Iu brief he be- lieves and teaches that Christ. did not die to pay the death penalty for the sins of mankind demanded by God, but simply to show forth 10 men the fact that God, despite their sin,ie eager to he reconciled to them. The sermon of last night pro- bably affords as good an example of Mr. Philips' system of reasoning as could be desired. Taking for his theme the sacrifice of Christ, and forhis principal text the words "The Son of God Loved us ,and gave Himself for us," he said tbe idea he wished to convey was that "the plan of salvation, the scheme of redemp- tion, is iu harmony with the father- hood of God, is based on and is in harmony with Hie love and righte- ousuess of nature." DID CHRIST PLY A DEBT? The question, "Was the sacrifice of Christ intended to pay a debt to carry o'lt the idea eo common in the evangelical hymns, the idea, 'Jesus paid if all, all to Him 1 owe 1' " was put, and auswer:rd in the negative. if the sacrifice of Christ were a quid pro quo, an equivalent given, where was the mauifestations of a forgiv- ing spirit -on the part of God 1 "If Jesus paid it sl', all the debt 1 owe, bow could the Father turn about and collect a debt that has been paid 1" To this the speaker answer- ed that such action would show a want of harmony in the nature of God, it would strip Him of the attributes of a loving Father and leave Him an exacting judge aud a collector of penalties. In the Lord's Prayer Christ taught us to pray "forgive us our debts," Iu Scripture debt was a duty not done antispass was a wrong done. It was pAgible that both of these were contained in the prayer, It would be seen that forgiveness was conditional there. Our debtor must first• be forgiven, and the petitioner prayed, "because I forgive, I ask to be forgiven." God could not set for Himself a lower standard than that taught In the Lord's Prayer. God could not and be consistent exact even from Jesus Christ es our re- presentative an exact equivalent, I+rotu a Methodist divine, whose name he withheld, the speaker quoted. "There is no grace in the re, tease of a debtor when his debt is p;rid°; ,'.a7rd.'.-traiel-elfat•'iva'8' prec sin his view. Christ therefore could not have been sacrificed to pay a debt since salvation was by grace: NOT AN EQuivALENT, Rory's mother's cottage stood a little apart from 'the village, and was reached by turuiug sharply to the right just beyond the bridge where the path leaps a burn. Rory was nearing the bridge when he caught sight of a figure that made him start. He knew her at once. It was bis little plstemate Jeanie ; but Jeanie grown tall at,d womanly and beautiful; and an overpowering self consciousness fell upon hire. For the first time be . was aware of the miserable appearance he pre sented. �K. ee'..tttett a blundering fool not to get a new rig -out i' be muttered, fingering the gold in his pocket, Then he came to a standstill and began to call himself names. Jeanie, however, all unconscious of- his presence quickly disappeared, and Rory tried to persuade himself, with much bad reasoning, that wo- men don't care how men dress them- selves, in which Ile wasa't very suc- cessful, OS one thing he felt sure -that in his mother's wdlcome there would be no talk of clothes; and he was right. If angels ever go into ouch places as the forecastle of a ship they must have taken an interest i❑ these letters. As for Rory's mother she received them with tears in jeer eyes, as is the way of women. T.here was only ono thing, she thought, that could possibly have brought greater joy to bar heart,and that was a visit from Rory himself. ' A kind Providence spared her that, however. Sho read those letters °load to herself every {lay, so as to get the full good of thorn, and when the light got too weak for fading eyesight, she used to sit and think and picture to herself her beautiful son Rory, 'and thank the Lord for having kept him straight in an evil world. , The idea had once or twice oc• 'out'•rgd'to Rory, in.hie maudlin con - that he would like to see his mother again : but when he had slept of the drink ho would look at his blotched face and bleary eyes in a bucket of water, and curse himself into perdition for having thought of it. i; od'.e latehanon of tewieneili:tt"►±itt 00 ti10T-VAIL 4EVes.bett, Christ crone. as a representative of the entire Godhead, pot as au tip. peeper of the Father, He came down to the world awl took' upuI hint hese to declare the principle of God's eternal loin and furgivin}f), natere.

He bad read it at a glance in the shattered windows and neglected air of the place. His mother was gone from him.

Alas 1 Rory's good resolutions had come ton late, as with most of us, to he of human avail He sat down upon a stone and tried to think it• out ; but his mind was blurred, and he felt eery bitter And Jeanie, passing there that evening, saw the figure .of a man with a pale and haggard expression crouching on the Stone with a box on the ground beside hint.

Two years later the under.keeper on theteromdale estates was sitting et the door of his cottage talking with his wife. It was a beautiful summer: evening, and they had oJtne out to enjoy the last of it. 'Yes, Jeanie,' he was saying, 'it was here you found me, on that very stens there, on that awfu' nicht. My heart was rale lair, an' yer words were like a voice free heaven when ye telt me my mother would ken a'.' 'Yes, an' I'm sure o't, Rory.' 'Weel, Jeanie, when ye say so that solemn -like, an' I look at thae bonnie een o' yours, I canna but believe it, and it makes nye rale glad.' One fine day Rory's ship Bailed into Kingstown Harbour, Jamaica, to await orders for home, and he was made happy and drunk by get- ting a shilling of bis pay advanced to hire, When Rory got the shil- ling he thought over the matter carefully, then he bought a sheet of paper and a stamp, and put them • in his locker, and went out and got beastly drunk on the rest of the money. Now, Kingstown is a place where a man can't fill himself with the filthy rum, and lie in the gutter all night with impunity. Rory tried it and caught a chill, In the morn- ing be felt queer. When the sun began to glare on his big body ho got faint and weak, though be struggled on with with his work till the night came down and the stars began to twinkle. Then he lay on his back, and heard the doctor say— 'The man's a fool. It's yellow fever he's got. Send him to the hospital.' After the fever bad run its course tory lay for a long time with va• cant, staring eyes, caring for noth- ng and fitful as iv child, and always dreadfully tired.

The teaquestion seems to have a great many phases, says the 'Mill - dolphin Recorder. Articles are writ- ten for and against its baneful qual- ities and women who preside at five o'clocka are as tenacious of the saps eriority of the parti:eular sort they offer as they are or the virtues of their family physicians. Oolong, Formosa, Orange PeKoe,and the res.. of them all have their zealous advo- cates. One of the best teas is un- doubtedly a choice and mild Eng lieh breakfast. This tea has many grades, the best being as delicate end delicious as the poorest is rank and undesirable. When it comes to the matter of brewing, theories again clash. How much to each cup and to the pot, how long to stand, to ster or not to stir -these are some of the rocks upon which the ignorant go to pieces. C. P. Huntington, who is considered B ' connoisseur in tea, and who frequently offers a cup to a business in his office, be,. Heves' in the stirring clause. Ile ladles out the precious leaves, a tea- spoonful to the cup and one to the pot, pours on a very little water, stirs it well, pours on a little more water, lets it stand for a little less than a minute, then pours off this first decoction, which he asserts is not acceptable to the educated tea palate. After this he fills the mese sure with water, of course freshly hotted, end in three Minutes offers a cup of amber liquid, fragrant, smooth and delicious, to his favored guests. -ReaL_tea,..,lo•v era..-.take.-a•t•-•u ns u gars and uncreatnec ; few, indeed, nowa- days are such vandals A to take the latter "trimming," though many still incline to the sweetening part.

' At the first assault a woman who had gained the top of the building fell to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet, aud rem;tined lying there, moaning and wringing her hands. Some of her companious urged her to make another attempt, but without success. Suddenly the King came up and reproached her with angry tone and flashing eyes. Tile poor creature jumped up as If lect•rified, joined the attack and carried off the first prise. The next question asked, "\Vases the sacrifice of Christ an equivalent for man's sins 1" was unsevered with an emphatic "No." "Even admnit- ing," said Mr. Phillips, "what we are free to admit, that sin must be punished, and violation of the law is punished oven in physical life, can the suffering of Christ be made a substitute for the punishment of our sins? I say no. Andthe fact. that the inflate suffers for the finite makes no difference. Tho suffering of Christ can no more relieve us from the consequences of sin than of physical wrongdoing. Again I quote a Methodist divine and en- dorse the view, that 'the suhstitu. tion of Christ for the sinner is not taught in the word of God.' " Con- tinuing, the speaker said that the influence of Christ's life was not as a counteracting force. As Adam could not live without influencing the rare, so Christ could not live without influencing it for good. The salvation he brought had for its purpose the making of men to be like God, not the imputation to men of Christ's righteousness, but the imputation to mon of the Christ life. All this was said with an earnestness that showed how deep were the speaker's convictions. mediation of Christ was touch- ed upon, and stere, too new views were given. Christ's death was not the means of bringing two parties, both estranged, together. God was not hostile to man, and there was no need for Christ to core in and change God's Intention and stay him from the execution of the law. The purpose of recollec- tion was execution of the law. The purpose of reconciliation was eternal. God the Trinity before man was created made a plan of re- demption contingent ripen the thought of the fall of man through the exercise of his will.

'TIE SPRING CATTLE TRADE. New Zealand is sending large -ship- ments of frozen mutton to England with great success, and no doubt the result of this will be to stimulate the New Zealanders in catering for this particular line of exports. 'l'he first cargo, comprising 33,500 cases, ar- rived in Liverpool recently in splen• did condition, and gave great satis- faction. Should these shipments increase to large dimensions they, no doubt, will exert an important influence upon the prices of live stock els well as dead meat in the British market. It behoves cattle buyers and stock exporters to well consider this point in their purchases. Last year was as disastrous to live stock shippers as as it was profitable to farmers ; in fact it seems that farmers invariably have the advantage from the fact that they take no risks and at the same time get cash down for their s lets '1n1rlicattle"oli'-a 5i5"ar'p odiiil5A'ilr tive market: The Trade B alletin thinks that dealers and shippers pay too much for their live stock, con. sidering the many risks they assume in the prosecution of this uncertain business; but still they have com- menced the present season by paying pretty high prices'in the west,natne- Iv, 5.11. to 51c. per lb, live weight which some in the trade characterize as absurdly steep when the present uncertainties surrounding the ex- port business are taken into account. A letter from Glasgow states that the importations of dead meatare likely to prove a significant factor in the live stock trade during the com• ing season, insomuch as they will tend to lower the price of cattle and sheep on the hoof. One healthy fea- ture, says the same journal, on this side of the Atlantic is the indisposi tion on the part of shippers to eon - tract ahead either for cattle or space, as they have done, to their cost, in former years. They can rely upon the fact that the supply of cattle will be ample for all requirements with•• out exporters displaying such zeal as in the past, by contracting far ahead for fear of not being able to secure their needed quantity. Cornering the cattle or the freight market is now an exploded idea, and those who attempt it in the future will in all probability find it a speedy means of cornering their own purses. .10 CAPTAIN OSBORNE, The husband of Ethel Osborne, whose conviction in London of per. jury and larcery has attracted the attention of the world, is receiving a great awodnc of well -merited praise for his nobility and manifest purpose to cleave to his wife through evil and good reports. It was his hand which very gently delivered the guilty one over to the authorities; it. was the lover -husband who stood by the prisoner in the dock, whisper - words of cheer and hope; it was his arm which supported the woman on the way to and from her prison quar- ters. And all this. is so rare, so un• usual,ae to excite universal comment, to invite unbounded admiration. This husband is a hero in the sight of the world. And yet what bas Captain Osborne done which any true •man who lovas his wife with the real ate fection hound not do? A love which deserts because of a false step or ignoble action ie only self•love and has eo Christlikeness. Every day thousands of noble women may be seen clinging to the husbands who hats disgras ,e ?areeeeein.ed them because their love is immortal. It can never leave except with the spirit which gave it birth. It spite of the plain teachings of Christ, who bade the sinful woman "go and sin no more," and the spirit of hie doctrines of forgiveness of sins, it is amazing to note that many Christian men in this enlightened and humane age ignore Him and trample on His precepts when called upon to forgive •an erring one, of their oeen household.
