The war in South Africa hate been long and ex pensive. and the hearts of the Brit- ish people were Chet upon seeing the end tit it before the Coronation of King Ede axil VIL. From oetober Lltlt, l8Ot9, when the war began, until May 31st, 1902, when it enti- t•tt, there was neve" any tb.ntbt as to the final result; the great strength and resources of the British Em pine, in men and money and sltips, must prevail against the limited power of the Boers, but the latter t xltibitetl marvel), .u.e stays g power, ket'plug the field in small de.ach- meets long after their towns and cities had fallen into the hands of the iritish. Leal Kitchener had a difficult task to perform, and by common consent he did it well. There' was no needless sacrifice of life, and :has far as possible the war was con - Meted upon humane principles, non combatants being treated with ex- mplary consideration. Whether the war could have beer; tvoL.ied without the sacrifice of Brit alt interests and permanent sub utiseiou to injustice cannot now be letermined. That is a task for the ,tistorian, who will have before him, It some future time, many facts .vhielt are not yet common property. (There may never be an agreement apo° that point. It is customary .o blame King George I1I., Lora .lrenville and Lord North for driv- .ng the American Colonists into re. ,ya'llion in 1775, and thus causing the .Lsruption of the Empire and a tre- mendous increase of the national debt, but some students affirm that the Independence of the Critter' States was a foregone eon - elusion from the British conquest .,i •Canada Trona the French. While aurae think that the long and cost - .y war with France, which ended in radii might hove been avoided if Ed- mund Burke had not incited the Bri- tish to meddle in what did not con- certi them, at the time of the French Revolution, others are of opinion that there would be no British Em- pire to -day if Britain) had held aloof when King Louis was guillotined in X703. With regard to the Crimean War there is less difference of opine ;on. nearly all classes of Britons now cejnceding that it was a blunder from the beginning, and justified :wither by provocations nor by re- sults. There is little disposition eo lar to blame Mr. Chamberlain for tare Beer War. The obstinacy of Kruger and Steyn, and their miscon- ception of the courage and strength of the British, appear to have made the war inevitable, but no matter who was mese Ln, fault at Its ineep- tion, the war could only be ended in one way, anti Lt Is sufficient for the day to rejoice that that end has come. .

Many of our readers, wtho °earth the bells ring yesterday when tate news of peace In South Africa arrived, must have recalled the 11- .umination's, bonfires and other dem- onstrations when the news reached Canada that Sebastopol had fallen :,n September 8tlr, 1855.

After returntng Irene the first miss" sionary journey, Paul and Barnabas abode in Antioch a "long time." They wero taking a mttoll needed rest and attending to the ]tome work. Tate great (oeation. which was now divid- ing tate opinions of the church was whether the Gentiles must become Jewish proselytes and submit to olr- oumetsion In order to be saved. The case stated. To a strict Jew it seemed aer though the whole struc- ture of the Kingdom of God would tall to pieces if the law of Muses were Ignored. It would be an insult to God by renouncing His inspired word, and by abandoning the reli- gion, he bad given them; it would de- stroy the very foundation of religion, of their sacred Scriptures, and of the hope of man. The contention. "Paul and Barna- ale had no small dissension and die- tnutation with them." V. 2. Both sides were sure they were right an.) .hey saw no chance for agreement. Neither side would yield an iota. The discussion. When they reach- ed Jerusalem they were formally re- seived by the church. They at once :teetered what God had done throng' .diem among the Gentiles, and those sf the opposition took an Immediate stand against them. Paul then had J. private interview (Gal. ii. 2) with ,,he Jewish leaders, after welch they called a council before the whole church. Then Paul and Barnabas .addressed the assembly, declaring chat God had endorsed their actions oy miracles and wonders which he tied wrought among the Gentiles by them. The decision. The decision embraces the verses of our lesson to -day. 22. Preen pleased it -The whole church dame to a unanimous decision. To ,:hoose from (R.V.) Tliis makes it clear, -teat the deputies sent to Antioch ,r ere chosen by the whole body. They were chosen because of their piety and qualifications. Judas called Bar- ubb:as (R. V.) -Not the Judas men- tioned in ohap. I. 13. His surname nae Tiladdaeus. Matt. x. 3. Mat - chew Henry and ot.}lers say that he ,vas the brother of Joseph Bee -sables. Acts 1. 213. He Is nowhere else men- tioned in the New Testament, and this is alt wet know of him. 28. Wrote letters -They sent a written communication so the churches 'would 'tau the exact words ,i the decision. By them -By Judas rind Silas. Greeting -"A salutation expressing their desire of the happl- tess of the persons addressed." Syria Antioch was £he capital of Syria, and from this we see that the trouble toad spread to other places in tate province. Silicia-Paul's native pro - dace. It is probable that the con- troversy had not arisen in the same form in other places. 24. Save heard -Through Paul and Barnabas. Certain -Those referred, to in verse 1. Have troubled-- Have troubled you with doctrines produc- ing contention. Sabverting-This is used in the sense of disturbing or de- stroying, and here denotes that they unsettled their minds and produced anxiety and distress by these doe - trines about Moses, 25. Seemed good -It seemed to its the proper tlztng to do. With one accord -How wonderfully the Holy Spirit had finally united them in set- tling this great question. Our be- loved -The Intention of the 'whole let- ter is to sha'te the honor which' the (church in Jerusaleng felt was due to these missionary laborers. -Cam. Bib. 26.

Offered to idole-Nearly all meats were thus desecrated. To the Jew this was an abomination. For at Gentile to use it might be a cense of stumbling to his Jewish brother. And from blood -This was forbidden by the law of Moses (Lev. 111.; xvil,; xvlI, 10-14►, but among tate Gentiles It was a delloaey. T,htngs strangled -Animals dying from suffocation. These were not used for food by the Jews, because the blood was ':,til lin them. 130.

Rejoiced -"That they were not to be subjected to tiro burdensome rights and ceremonies of the Jew- ish religion." Consolation -The con- solation would be felt by the Jews as well as the Gentiles. 32. Being prophets -Not in the sense of foretelling future events, but, be- ing filled with the Spirit, they spake in explanation of the word of God. Confirmed -Strengthened and es- tablished them in the faith. 83. A s'paoe-A space of time. In peace --The brethren took leave of them in the best wishes for their safety and welfare. Judas and Silas both returned to Jerusalem. Teaohings-The s -Th errors rro men of en are g not always removed by their con- version; they need further instruc- tion and experience, as well as the continual teaching of the Holy Spirit, Toile Christians love one another, even though they may have strong differences of opinion. "A right un- destanding of the word of God and a disposition to follow it, give great joy to hie people; it is a powerful means of extending his kingdom." e • PRACTICAL SURVEY. The make-up or the council was not that of church politicians actu- ated toy a partisan spirit to promote personal interests and gain selfish ends, but they were apostles of Jesus and elders in the church, and as such they had, 10 view the glory of God and the harmony and prosperity of the church. The work of the council. "Certain men" Ihad come down from Judea to Antioch, the capital of Syria, where a great revival had been realized and a strong church organized consisting of Gentiles, and had undertaken to press upon them the old Jewish doe- (forthem that it was necessary to be circumcised. This had brought about "no small dissension and dispu- tation." Pre-eminence gives to the Holy Ghost. "For it seemed good unto the Holy Ghost earl to us." V. 28. Many perplexing and vexed questions relat- ing to the spirituality of the church would be properly solved and the right treatment prescribed, and wise ends would be reached if the Holy Ghost was invited to the councils of the church. • A well organized church. This body of Christian beljevers was evidently a` well organizeli church and this should administer a shivering rebuke to that disturbing, distracting and disjointed something which is com- monly called "Copreoutism." The God fearing members of this committee appointed to bear the mes- sage expressing the decision of the council were men that had hazarded their lives. This is the Maas of work- ers whom Jesus wants to -day. If we RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS. CONSTITUENCY. Addington Algoma Brant. N W.D. Burt * Brant, 8 T. 13. Preston* Brockville G. P. Graham, * ..

PIERREI Position of Bodies Show F[AEIS FOO NQS LIFE) Terrible Surprise, Dowager Queen of Italy In Constant Anxiety. DREADS FATE of HIS FATHER, London, June 1, -The recent incl dent in Naples, when au Anarchist threw bricks at the Royal train, affected the Dowager Queen Marg• hertta, through a misunderstanuing. more painfully than It need have done. A telegram was brought to her on a Sunday evening announcing the fact. After reading it she sat stun- ners for a moment. Then she sprang to her feet, pale as death, and cry- ing: rying: " My son, my son, I am sure you are wounded." The telegram said: "We escaped without Injury. Helena rejoices that the danger is past. Remember us in your prayers:" It seems that the Kling supposed that the authorities had informed itis mother, and thought he would add a personal word. In reality It had been thought better to explain to her by special envoy, who ar• rived some hours after the tele- gram. The Dowager Queen had been es- pecially y ne v r ons about Victor Em manuel's trip; in fact, she has been nervous always on these occasions since her husband's tragic death, but es reasons of State called for the journey, the King refused to listen to her arguments. He said: "I can not keep myself shut up in my pal ace. Life would not be worth lie Ing." FIDST Of 8LAC MONADCHS King of Barotsela'Id Called oil King Edward.

With my otvn eyes I have seen and saluted it Miler, who, besides being a great King, is a kind man." On Thursday Lewanika was on the point of starting on a driving tour through the West of England, when King Edward sent him a message; saying that he would be glad to meet him. Lewanika came to Lon- don, and to -day called at Bucking- ham Palace, where he shook bands .with the Ring and conversed with him, During the- Visit he received same of His Majesty's cigars, and they smoke=d together. SEEN IN ST. PIERRE. "St. Pierre was one of the most picturesque little eitles In the world. spent a reay.nowrs mere once and shat' never forget the gay--ypear- anee It presented," said Cal.••.. John A. Hassell, of New York yesterday at the St. James Hotel. "Tare wo- men of St. Pierre dressed more gayly than In. any other part of the world I ever vlelted. !Dicey wore many col- ors, and, strangely enough, cove bined them quite harmoniously. "There was practicably no harbor at St. Pierre, anti the ships anchor- ed a silor't disten0e out at sea. As soon as outr vessel came within, hail- ing distance of St. Pierre a num- ber of small boats set out from shore. They were filled with women dress- ed in gaudy colors and carrying fruits. which they offered to the passengers. I 'remember that many of the women- had cocoanuts from w'hdclt the entle had been, removed. Part of tehe milk had been poured from tate fruit and replaced by rum. Cocoanuts prepared in, that way are quite delicious and In great (1e muted with travellers. "Few of the people in St. Pierre were pure black. The negroes who were originally in the island, the Matays wtho were brought there to serve as slaves, and the French and other white people who loeated there itntertmarrted so freely Boat most of tho inhabitants showed only a trace of the negro blood. Tho women, were quite dark, but had good features, and many of them were quite hand- some. Their clothing was very un- usual On theltr heads they wore scarfs of bright colors and tlt.ehr gowns were very fantastic. All through the city there seemed to be an air of gayety and abandon. "St. Pierre was situated in a small indenture in tate shore line and its houses were queer affairs which seemed like a lot of fancy blocks plied up against the gide -of the mount - twin. Manly of the houses were white- washed or painted some very light colors. They were all short build- ings of quaint French architecture, Nobody worked in St. Pierre any more •tihat:n was necessary. There were music and dancing everywhere, and the immorality of the clty will probably lead many people to suggest tiget judgment has been brought down upon the ill-fated city."
