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.

The journey the prodigal took represe.nts the sinner in his departure from God. He went in- .' to a "far country," fax from truth and eirtee. Weeded his subatance-So sinners 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- .. minted by .riotous living is here repre- sented by servile living, for sinners are perfect slaves.

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.

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 sister-in-law stated that he had borrow- ed ber cart, and the morning after he bad returned it he came to say good- bye., stating that the detectives were af- ter him, and asked her not to tell any- body that he had had the cart. The Magistrate, says The Cape Times, considered there were goods grounds for suspicion that the wounds were inflicted by Smit ,and committed, him for trial on a charge of murder. o • e 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." SNAPPING I.IKE A DOG. 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." ee A Man Bites Those Who Would Control Him.
