V. The elder brother (vs. 23-32). 28.
He was angry -Our Lord now holds up
to the murmuring Pharisees a likeness of
themselvee. As the elder brother is an-
gry at the joy which welcomes the pro-
digal home from his evanderings,sohave
these men murmured at the merey with
whieh Jesus ha a received the publicen
and the sinnen-Whedon. Intreated him
-As Jesus was then entreating the eap-
tious Pharisees not to spurn the repent-
ing outcasts. 29, 30. In these verses
Jesus gives, in parable, the substance ef
the Pharisaic murmurings; We are bet-
ter than others and ehould have great
respect and deference paid us; but 'you
have left me and interested yourself in
these publieans and sinners. 31.
thine -AU is within thy reach. If eon
do not enjoy my bounty it is because
you will not. Notice that the parable
leaves the elder brother on the outelde,
stubbornly refusing to enter. "After the
parable has thus fulfilled its inienediate
object, it may be applied to a greet vari-
ety of equivalent cases. We may truly
then say that the elder son is the Jews
and the younger the Gentiles; and that
the return of the arodigal is the restora-
tion of the Gentiles to the church of
God."-Wedon.
This "pearl" of the parables is a most
beautiful portrayal of the Father's pity,
tenderness and love. Whether we look
at the prodigal as an unsaved sinner,
son of God, by creation, as was Adam
(Luke ilL 38), or as a backslidden sinner,
a son of God, by recreation the teacbing
is the same, the love of the Father. In
the parable we see a young person.
I. Diseontented. "Give me" (v. 12.)
He demanded a change. He cbafed
against restraint. Ile wanted his own
way. He longed to be independent. He
was not contented.
II. Distant. "Son gathered all together
and took his journey into a fax country"
(v. 13.) "Far" from the light of the Fa-
ther's smile, "far" from the touch of the
Father's hand, "far" from the joy of the
Father's approval. The life of the wan-
derer is "far' from God. He is `an alien
in a strange land" (Exod. xviii. 3).
III. Dissatisfied. "There wasted his
substance in riotous living" (v. 13.) Th3
life of a wanderer from God is an rtter
failure, and the respectable morel chimer
wastes his substance as malty as the pio-
fligate. immortal sinner sooner or later.
They both squander nil, money. heaelt,
time, talents, opportaar•fra, everything.
They gather "all" (v. 13), they speed
"all" (v. 14).
IV. Disappointed. 'A mighty famine"
brought 'want" (v. 11. De was read)
to "perish with hunger' (v. 37.) To hint
were fulfilled the words of nod, "the ae-
sire of the wicked shall perish" Psa. eel
10.) "The expectation of the wicket:
shall perish (Prey. x. Solent in knew
this by bitter expericece (Reel. h. 0-23.)
Another prodigal, a soldier dying in e
hospital, said, "I hava triel war lamer,
the pursuit of money, of pleasure, and T
have tried. vice, but I Mee found sails-
facticn in turtling:" ft is ever so. Satan
never keeps his word.
V. Corning to bimseif. "He came to
himself" (v. 17. He began to be disen•
thrilled from the enchanter's power. Ile
was aroused. from the lethargy of sinful
insanity, he woke from his dream of
sensual pleasure, he stepped out of his
grave.
VI. Considering. 'He said" (v. 17.) Ile
began to contrast bis present with his
past. There is hope for a. sinner who
will obey the command to "consider"
(Hag. 1. 5, 7.e A pleasure -loving young
lady was persuaded to think on her eter-
nal interests. 'The world was fascinat-
ing, and the life of a Christian seemed
narrow and unattractive, but as she
thought of the future she said to herself,
"I will decide this matter. Why should
I longer halt between two opinions?"
Taking a sheet of paper she wrote upon
one page, "Reasons 'why I should serve
the Lord." And upon the opposite page,
"Reasons why I should serve the world."
There were so many more reasons in fa-
vor of Christianity than of worldliness
than she immediately turned her face to-
ward God and heaven.
VTI. Confession. "I have sinned against
heaven" tea. xviii. 21. He acknowledged
he was without excuse. Not a word of
"faults" or "blithe°" or "wild oats." He
called his wrong doing by the right
name. It was sin. When man takes
his place as a. sinner the Father can re-
ceive him as a son. "If eve confess our
sins he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins" (I. John 1. 9).
VIM Contrition. "Inam no fore wor-
thy to be called thy son" (vs. 19,21.) To
repent of sin is to be humbly conscious
of deserving all punishment for sin.
IX. Coming to the Father. "And be
arose, and came to his father" (v. 20.)
He came to himself, then to his father.
Thought should end in aetion. David
says, "I thought on ray ways; and turn-
ed my feet unto thy testimonies" (Psa.
cxix. s) Repentance is leaving the far
country with al that pertains to it. "De-
parture from God is the essence of all
am, returning to God is the essence of
all repentance."
X. Conciliated. "Robe put it on
him" (v. 22.) "The robe of righteous-
ness" (Isa. Ix. 10.) As C. H. McIntosh
says, "Sonsbip being founded on• ream-
reetion, stands connected with perfect
justification, stands connected with per-
fect justifiehtion, perfect, righteousness,
perfeet freedom from everything that
could in anywise be against us. God
could not have us in his presenee with
sin upon us. The Father could not have
the prodigal at his table with the rags
a the fax country upon him. He could
fall on his neck and kiss him in those
rtes. God in Christ has stooped to the
lowest point ot a man's moral condition
that by stooping he night raise man tO
the higbest point. of blessedness- in M-
lowthip with himself." -A. C. M.

from which every kind of sin takes its

another name for license. Man often

the prodigal took represe.nts the sinner
in his departure from God. He went in-
.' to a "far country," fax from truth and

I waste the gifts God has given them.
The worldly life is always a wasteful
life. It uustes body and soul, life and
health, time, talents and all that is
precioue and valuable. "Sinners waste
their Bibles, their Sabbaths, their relig-
ious training, their heavenly inheritance
and get nothing in return." With riotous
living -In verse 30 we see how low he
fell. His body, mind and soul were de-
; based.
II. In deep dietress (vs. 14-16). 14.
• Spent all -He did not stop until his last
dello was goo", His passions reigned.
This represents the sinner who has
thrown away the mercy, favor and love
of God, and has wilfully rejected the sal-
vation of Christ. It seems that he spent
all very soon; the enjoyment of srn is
brief.' A mighty famine -The soul liv-
ing at a distance from God, and. shut
out from intercourse with Him, will
very soon feel its own utter emptiness.
A mighty famine will follow. In want -
Real -want is soul want. The prodigal
now felt the effects of his dissipated
oourse. The steps downward were "apes -
tatty, profligacy, penalty." See Prem.
xxiv. 34. The soul bas many cravings
and the pleasures, riches and. honors of
„ this world can never eatisfy it.
15. Joined himself to a eitizen-The
same wicked life that before was Tepee-

perfect slaves. The devil ie 4.be citizen

to go at his bidding (John. TOL 34), and
are dependent upon heal for their living.
-Hem. To feed. -swine --This was doub-
ly degrading, and especially so to a Jew.

not the pods of some other fruit, but
"the fruit ef the carob -tree, used for

extremity of trying to satisfy 'hie hunger

ly the volume of business moving com-
pares well with that of previous years,
.although the demand for sorting lien;
is on the quiet side. The business doing
for fan account is still heavy, and the
outlook continues to favor a very satin,
tory trade later on in the year. From
hit parts of Canada tbe reports regard-
ing crops and business eonditione gen-
erally are good, and western orders for
hardware and dry goods are heavy.
There is some talk to tbe effect that
trade is suffering from over -production.
and on that account in certain lines of
trade dealers are disposed to show cau-
tion in placing orders. Country trade

ities, and remittances and collections are
not quite as brisk as they were a week

HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON A CHARGE
OF MURDER.
Stated That He Rad Been in Negotiation
With Man Named Davis in Regard
to Certain. Ruried Treasure -Dis-
covery ef the Body.
Loudon, Eng„ July 30.-Stephanus
Kruger nag, a grandson of Me late Pre-
sident Kruger, bas been arrested in the
Dustenburg district of the Transvaal ea
eherge of murder, says a reeea4, der.
patch to The London Daily Mail.
It is stated that he had been for tome
ram. in negotiation with a man namea
al,rmaut Dams in regard to certate bito
ied treasuve of which Smit wae suppes-
cd :o possess knowledge. Shia treats -Jai
tt6 stated to consist of bullion mad ter
be worth 11'0,000 ,and 1lr. Dana, elm
betrayal in limit's story, even minima-
cated with the ClOvernmeut as 10 wt Oni
it should be delivered to when brought
to Pretoria.
On June 21 aria called at Davis'
house, and. together they drove in a
cart towards Daspoort, where they
were to search fax the treasure. Noth-
ing further was seen of them till the ev-
ening, when Smit, who was alone, pulled.
up near the Zwart Spruit Hotel, twelve
miles from Pretoria.
Mrs. Davis, becoming anxious at the
absence of ber husband ,applied to the
police, who found that the cart used by
Sink on the day of the search was spat-
tered with blood stains, and that there
was a bullet hole in the hood. The
veldt was then scoured, and after a. pro-
longed search, Davis' body was discov-
ered in a lonely spot about six mites
from Pretoria, with four bullet wounds
in the head and neck. Fragments of
promissory notes, tbe property of the
dead man, were also found on the veldt.
Smit was arrested while in bed at his
house at Rhenosterfontein, but when he
heard the charge he denied all knowledge
of it.
At the inquest on Mr. Davis, Stnit's

WINDSOR SUICIDES.
FRED OLMSTEAD TAKES MORPIIINE
AND MRS. SPAIN DISAPPEARS.
Windsor, Ont., July 29. -Nothing has
been learned of the whereabouts of Mrs.
Elizabeth Spain, who disappeared nom
sight on Friday night, and there is
now little doubt that she jumped from
the ferry boat Victoria on, which her
hat and cape were found late last night.
Mrs. Spain was the widow of Frederick
Spain, for many years engineer on the
Grand Trunk car ferry "Great West-
ern," who died last winter of pneumonia.
Grief over the death of her husband had
unsettled Mrs. Spain's mind.
Fred Olmstead, who committed sui-
cide on Belle Isle some time during Fri-
day night by taking morphine, was the
husband of the head waitress at the
Crawford House here. Olmstead was
incapacitated for work by reason of
illness and had become despondent. Ile
was 35 years old. The scene when
wife found his body at an undertaker's
was a most affecting one. Deceased
left it note adressed "To mother," con-
taining, the meesage, "This is my last
day upon earth."

history of South Africa so far as Great
Brawn is cemented. The Transvaal
Progressive delegates now in this senile
try Issue the following appeal to their
fellow Monists iu ether British cetera
ies ;
"Perhaps tbe most critical nutmeat ru
the history of leouth Africa, as well as
of Great Britain has come after the
great loss of money antt hewer; life and
the disturbance to trade,. industry and
commerce consequent upon the long war,
Great Britain has more at stake now
in the sub -continent than in.the whole
course of past history, or at such, it ma
nerd period as the retrocession of the
Transvaal itt 1881. Then we haa not
territory stretching -from the Zambesi
to Table Bay; the Orange Free State
was an belependent republie, yet our
interests are more uncertain to -day. Any
peril to the penuanenee of British in-
stitutions in South Atrica meatus dis-
memberment of the empire. If through
mistaken magnate -nay on tbe part of
the British Government the Transvaal
should have a Dutch administration and
the Orange River Colony be given prac-
tical independence, for there would. not
Id five British representatives in the
Legislature of the Orange River Colony,
the future of the flag and of all that
British civilization means would be the
merest gamble.
"Every colony in the Empire must be
awaiting with intense anxiety the an-
nouncement of the Prime Minister next
Tuesday in the House of Commons as
erument will include in the constitution
for responsible government to be given
to the Transvaal. There is reason to
fear that the safeguards which the Gov-
ernment will incluu in th tonstitution
may not be sufficieut to prevent the
first representative and. responsible ed.
ministration in a, country lately won by
the sword from being controlled by the
same Ministers who acted for Kruger in
one of the most reactionary administra-
time of modern times and who dented
equal Tights to all white men. It is
impossible to believe that any colony
in the Empire would not insist so Inc
as their influence by an appeal may have .
on the British Government on making
absolutely secure to the Crown our new
colonies through an administration in
the bands of British men.
"The voice of colonists now, even
more than during the war, can assist to
bring about a decision on the part of
this Government in keeping with such
past Liberal traditions as were include
ed. in Lord Durham's report which will
establish the equal rights demanded of
the British Government."
