When Abel was entirely un- tusrecting, Cain fell upon biin. Thus evil men ever seek convenient occasion for their sin (2 Sam. iii: 27; John iii; 19, 20), Cain Ines obdurate, defiant, impenie tent in his gain (v. viv.). "I know not Ani I my brother's keeper?" He had sinned against light; resided reproof, indulged impious rage against Cori and his brother, and committed murder. To all this he added defiant impenitence. (a) He denied his erime. (b) Endeavored to evade all responsibility in the matter. (c) How. like sinners of all ages and classes. They seek to cover their sins, and, failing in, this, to evade responsib- ility for theni. No state is more danger- ous before God; destruetion is near at hand. for such (Psalm lxxiii. 1-12, 17. 20.) III. The penalty.

Kings xviii. 38. 5. Unto Cain ...... not respect, - Why? Cain failed to offer a blody sac- rifice, and he accordingly lacked faith. Pee Heb. xi. 4, "The penalty of sin is death. Cain was a sinner and. as such death stood. between him and Jehovah. But in his offering there was not recog- nition whatever of this fact Cain hes had millions of followers froze age to age. Cain -worship has Abounded all over the world. It is the worship of every unconverted eoul and is main- tained by every false system of religion under the sun." --C. H. M.

Another view s that sin is personifietl and is like a wild beast crouching at the door of his house ready to seize him unawares. But many , of the best Bible expositors hold to the fast view, and it is undoubtedly the cor- rect interpretation. Compare Hosea iv. 8. II. Cor. v. 21, Heb. ix. 28, where the word sin is used for sin -offering. The meaning is that if he bad sinned a proper offering was near at hand, even at the door. Unto thee - his desire - The pronouns "his" and "him" in this sentence refer to Abel. "The high dis- tinction conferred by priority of birth ie daseribecl Itt chapter xxvii. 29, and it was in Cain's belief that this honor had been withdrawn from him by the rejec- tion of his sacrifiee and conferred. on. his younger brother, hence the secret flame of jealousy whiel kindled into a settled hatred and fell revenge." -J., F. & B. But the Lord assures Cain that he has nothing to fear from his brother, whose "desire -tender and loyal devotion -is strong and fervent toward him as his elder brother, and, therefore, certain to attempt no interference with Cain's right Of primogeniture to rule over him, and thus enjoy all the privileges of his natu- ral pre-eminence.-'Whed.

The hardware trade is good for this time of the year and valuee in all departments hold. firm. There is no change in the iron and steel situation. Stocks of most lines are light ansi prices firm. Local retail trade has continued quiet in character since the holidays. Country trade has also fallen off. Col- lections. however, are showing the re- sults of the good holiday trade and are generally good. Country retail trade is, also quiet. Toronto: Trade generally continues quiet. Spring orders for dry goods are still coming in freely and tho outlook is for a very heavy business. Shipments are beginning to go forward. The gro- cery trade continues quiet. The leading feature of the market is the high firm- ness in canned goods, with stocks of fruits and vegetables light. Dried fruits continue firm. The hardware trade is holding. fairly well and metals are active with prices firm. Colder weather has now set in and it better city and coun- try trade is expected. The wholesale sorting trade, too, may be expected to show a better tone by the end of *he month. Money is coming forward fairly well. Hides are quiet with a firm tone, Provisions are generally steady to firm with stocks of cold storage eggs light. Wool is still quiet. Hogs are very firm in tone and the market supplies are Winnipeg: There is already :tome eign of reviving trade after the quietness of the holiday season, although the move - anent is by no means heavy. The weather has been favorable, however, and retail stocks of winter lines have been moving well. The wholesale trade is quiet, al- though a fair sorting trade is looked for soon. Vancouver -and Victoria: 'Wholesale s,nd retail business is moving fairly brisk. ly and collections from all points are reported as satisfactory. All lines of commodities hold firm in value. The him - bee trade reports continized great astir- ity, It is generally stated in the trade that prices may again be expected to ad- vance. Quebec: No improvement is noticed in general trade over that of the preceding week. Retailers, as a rule, are quiet, which is usual after the holidays, the demand being for immediate wants. Manufacturers, with a few eoreeptione, are WAY' busy. Hamilton; Trade is still quiet in tons, but travellers are getting out on ,their routes and some movement is expected to make itself felt shortly.- Oolleotions are fair to good. The demand for win- ter Iles is suffering from the mild wea- ther. London: Stock taking has been gen- arid, and in most oases there is a feeling of satisfaction with the results of the year's business as shown forth. Much trade raovement is hardly due until about the end of the mooth, but pros- pects are considered favorable. Ottawa: Wholesale trade is quiet, but there is a fair retail business moving, notwithstanding the season. Country trade has a quiet tone.

Moo oyor Poe* OIlloo-WIRGRABIE Minister's Daughter Learns "How to Pass a Pleas- ant Evening" and .Mesmerizes Young Parson. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 14, --The Rev, It, T. Booker, Of Scottsville, Ill., who be. ceme unconscious while playing- a game of "hypnotizing," a,s laid down in some of the recent publications on "Row to Pass a Pleasant Eveuing in Amusing Games," is still in it critical condition at the dormitory of Kentucky University; wbere he is a second year student. Miss Ray MeG-arvey,- the young wo- man who hypnotized young Booker, is prostrated over the affair, After hyp- notizing young Booker according to ine structions she was unable -to break the spell, and physicians who love seen him to -day say it is a, peculiar ease. Theycle- dare that the trouble was probably brought on by- the excitement of the Miss Mc:Gamey, who is it granddaugh- ter of the Rev. J. W. McGarvey, a pro- fessor in the College of the Bible, where young Booker is studying for the minis- try, talked regerding the strange case 41•001•1=••••••0•• to -day. She said there was no inten- tion really to hypnotize the young man, but that they were playing -the game, having a code of signals by which those being hypnotized were told whet they were expected to do. Booker did not understand the game, nor did. be know that those who luul been hypnotized be. fore lam were only playing. When she first tried hint he iVas not affeeted. La- ter he coked to be tried again, saying that he din not believe he could be hyp- notized. He became unconscious and fell from the chair, but Miss McGarvey its well as the others engaged in the game thought him .feigning. When he did not get up Mies MeGarvey became alarmed and snapped lier fingers fts the professional hypnotist does. Stilt he was -.as limp as a rag and -finally be WAS picked up and taken out into. the air. Here he revived somewhat and with the aid of his friends was able to walk back to the dormitoq. He did not revive dur- ing the night and yesterday was unable to leave his bed and to -night he is in a worse condition. SHOE IN STREET.
