he was not a Saddueee. Eternal life -
The divine life impleutett in the soul by
the Holy Spirit. It begins M this life
but will endure forever. 18. What call -
est thou Inc good -Christ did not say
that lie was not good, or was not God,
If the young man called Christ "good,"
the question Jesus asked would leadde-
redly to his divinity. Why do you call
me good? Do you see me merely as a
mane or are you. looking at m as the -
Messiah? Do you recognize me as a di-
vine teacher, whose teaching is eternally
true, and are you willing thus to accept
my instruction? None good but one --God
is the only one who is absolutely an
eternally good; but Christ. is God and
tberefore Christ is "good," in this abso-
lute and unlimited sense.
19. The commandmeots-According to
Matthew Jesus said, "If thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments." The
young man asked Jesus which special or
great commandment he referred to. Jesus
replied by enumerating the command-
ments in this verse. He referred only to
the second table of the law, which relates
to the duties of man to man.
20. Have I observed -He was strictly
moral an& had lived a good life out-
wardly.. He then asked (Matt. xix. 20)
what he lacked yet. He was conscious
of a lack in his spiritual life, and this
. question was a serious inquiry as to its
cause. .
21. Jesus loved him -The Saviour
was drawn toward thine He saw in the
young 100.11 great possibilities. Se11...

of the young MAWS difficulty. lie was
ready to :give ea to God but hie pro-
perty; this was the "one thine over
which he was about to stumble and fall.
Some seem to think.this command was
very difficult, but it has come to Inane -
others and they have stood the test.
It came to the apostles, to Marten Lu-
ther, to John Wesley, and, in fact, m
one form or another, the same command.

man'e riehes were hie idol. He was asked
to use his wealth for God and humanity.
Treasure in heaven -Notice, 1. Heaven ts
the only place where genuine, abiding
treasure M to be found. 2. The character
of the -treasure will be in harmony with
the character of beaven, 3. The obtain-
ing of this treasure is conditional upon
the course we pursue in this world. Take

proach that will naturally come as a re -
stilt of taking thie course. His friends

pose him bitterly. Follow ine--.13e my

countenance fell and he went away sor-
rowful. He went away reluctantly, but

11. Jesus' statement coneerning riches
(vs. 2347). 23. How intrdly, etc. -That
is, they shall enter with great difficulty.
This is amply confinmed by experience.
Rich men seldom become true Christiana
"It is difficult, 1. Because they feel they
have so much to give up, 2 -Because of
the tendency to trust in riches. 3. Be-
cause riches are apt to engender pride
that will not stoop to the humble service
of God. 4. Because rich men are apt to
be allied in business and socially with
many who are not Christians, and it re-
quires great courage and faith to .break
away. 0. Because in many ease* they
will have to restore 111 -gotten riches to
change their bueiness or methods of busi-
ness, and sources of gain, which are not
truly Christian. 6. Because it is espe-
cially difficult to invite them, to reach
them with the gospel message."-Petou-
bet. Kingdom of God -Kingdom of grace
and glory.
24. Trust in riches -Here is the clan-.
ger, the place where many a rich roan
will lose his soul. "Notice. 1. Riches can-
not drive away anxiety. a. They cannot
purehase contentment. 3. They eannot
buy friends. 4. They cannot lure sleep.
5.. 'they cannot buy appreciation. Let an
il iterate man inherit vast wealth, and
with it a, valuable library. The books
will be no more to him than their varue
in dollars and eente. 6. They cannot
bring back a lost opportunity,
25. The eye of a needle -It has been
suggested that the needle's eye was a
small gate, leading into the city, intendea
only for foot passengers, and that the
camel could only squeeze through with
the greatest diffieulty, but "it is now
generally thought that the callirg this

PRACTICAL APPLIC/A.TIONS.
Eternal life is God-given to man, and
not inhabited by anything that. man eau
do (Rom. vi. 23.) "Master, all these have
I observed front my youth" (v. 20.) Jer-
ome says the num "lied," But he may
have meant to be honest The crucial
test in his life is the crucial test in the
life of every one wart seeks God's best.
In the words of Christ we bane,
1. Divine poverty. "Sell whatsoever
thou hest." (v. 21.) Andrew Murray
says, "To the rich young ruler poverty
was but the path to perfection. The
disciple is not above les Master, but
every one Atha is perfected shall be as
his Master. Poverty was part of that
mysterious discipline of self-denial and
suffering through which it became God
to perfect the Master. While he was on
earth poverty was to be the mark of all
those who would be always -with their
master and wholy like their master. Ac-
cording to the diversity of gifis and cir-
cumstances, and calling, the same spirit
may be seen in apparently conflicting
paths of life. There xs a perfection whice
is sougth in the right possession and use
of earthly goods as the Master's stew-
ard; there is also is perfection which
seeks even in external things to be as
the Master Himself was, and in poverty
to bear witness to the reality arid siffi-
cieney of heavenly things."
IIL Divine promises. "Thou shalt have
treasure in heaven" (v. 21). "One may
melange earthly for heavenly riches.
He may transmute the temporary and
perishable goods of this world into im-
perishable treasure," It is said that a
gentleman went into the office of a mer-
chant and, seeing an unusual brightnese
in his face, said: "What are you up tor
fled some good news?" "No, only Wank.
Mg of is little investment." "I thought
'
so; a good one rn be bound." "I think
so; what wouldyou say about one thou-
sand per cent?" "You are raving." "Not
is bit of it, and the very best security, a
royal pledge." "Now know you are
crazy." ""Not a bit of it; this,' wheel-
ing around in his chair and itraing ha
hand on a paper, "is a cheque for a poor
miesjonary that is sick rtud in nee& The
Scripture says 'He that hath pity on the

The Week in Trade.
Dun's Review: In some sections the
intense heat facilitated retail trade in
summer goods and improved the eaten -
lance at seaside resorts, but the most
important development in the business
world was the increased activity of job-
bing and wholesale departments in pre-
paring for autumn and winter require-
ments. Crop reports me all that could
in desired, harvest ana threshing returns
surpassing all but the most sanguine ex-
pectations, the few unsatisfactory state-
ments being far outbalanced by the num-
erns encouraging results. Mereantile col-
lections might be more prompt at some
eitatern points, but the average is well
maintained by discounted bills at the
west and south. Manufacturing news
is still of god progrces, the iron and
'steel industry nutintening phenomenal
lamas, despite some labor troubles.
High prices prevail in the footwear in, -
betty and for most textile fabriespbut

SECTIONALISM TO GO.
Director Crane was :subjected to a hot
examination by Assistant States Attor-
ney Olson in the presence of Inspector
Shipp), and Assistant Chief of Police
Schueller. He denied all knowledge of
the forgeries perpetrated by Stensland.
"Did you ever attend a meeting of the
Executive Committee of the board?"
asked Mr. Olson, of Crane.
"No, I never did," replied the eiree-
tor,
"Did you ever know the Executive
Committee to meet?"
"It never met so far as I know," ad-
mitted Crane.
"Did you ever pass ou loans, or do any-

Montreal, .Aug. 12. -La Nationaliste
to -day declares that in it quarter of a
century the French-Canadian race will
be as dead politically in the Dominion as
Methuselales grandfather,
• Mr. Asselin's paper says that since
1001, 580,000 immigrants have reached
this country, 573,000 of whom could not
speak a word of French.: Sir 'Wilfrid
Lauriea the *Ater alleges, claims that
• 2,360,000 people will have settled in Can-
ada from 1901 to 1911, which will mean
that seventy-eight new membersavill be
given to the House of Commons, and in-
stead of there being sixty-five French-
Canadians out of 214, there will be but
sixty-five out of 290 or 300.
If this continues, says Le Nationaliste,
• there will be 10,000,000 people in the
west in 1921, and while the French re-
presentation will remain at sixty-five
the English will have six or sever
hund red.
"If, in 1031," adds tlte writer, "Can-
ada, having a population of 25,000,000 at
least, they decide to eut down the num-
ber of members in order to avoid a too
numerous parliament, the Quebec repro-
sentation will be reduced to twenty or
thirty out of a house of 400 members.
This, therefore, is where our policy of
compromise will lead us in a quarter of
it century front now."
On the whole the organ of the Quebec
Nationalists claims that there is a deep
conspiracy on he part of the depart-
ment of the interior to anglify the Do-
minion. No effort, it claims, is made
to secure the French -Comedians from the
'United States or the arrival of French
or Belgian immigraets in Canada. Len
Nationaliste then reproduces Lord Du
littnes words: "If you wish to anglify
the French-Canadians, go about it quiet-
ly. Cover them with honors and dig-
nity; give them lucrative positions, and
you can ao wbat.you like with them."

Reactionaries Chosen in Zemstvo E1ections-59ven

SL Petersburg, Aug. 13. -The Govern.
meat attaches much importance to the
defeat of the constitutional democrats in
the Zemstvo 'elections now under way.
For years the provincial Zemstvos have
been the centres of liberal movement and
practically all the constitutional demo-
cratic leaders have been prominent in
Zemstvo work. M. Kakoshkene, next to
M. Roditcheff, the most brilliant of the
constitutional democratio orators in the
outlawed parliament, has been defeated
by Count Sherrnetieff, the notorious re-
actionary, and yesterday two constitu-
tional democrats were defeated at. Sam-
ara. While these results certainly indi-
cate a reaction of sentiment against the
advanced programme of the constitution.
al democrats, ib should also be pointed
out that the nobilityand landed proprie-
tors bath the dominant influence in
Zemstvo elections. Nevertheless, the im-
portant landed interest, reactionary er
liberal, are uniting and lining up in fav-
or of the government's as against the
parliament's radical aararian pros
gramme.
The first issue of the Poniedelnik,
whose motto is "Labor and Liberty," was
confiscated to -day.
Last night three policemen were mur-
dered in St. Petersburg, one in Moscow
and three in Kazan.

absurd to think that the presence of a
