Which command thee ---"The speaker is au aged man, whose venerable head is covs ered with the snowy white of nearly six- &etre years, but whose voice is still both 10031 and elear enough to he hear(1 afar off." "Moses exhorts, entreats, wrestles. with men„ that they may be wise end good; there is nothing wanting that is suggestive of ripeness of experience, of depth and genuineness of sympathy. He -becomes shepherd again, only now men end wdmen and children, more waywar4 than any beasts of the field, eonstitute his multitudinous and most trying flock. Read Deuteronomy innuediately after :Exodus, and merk the growth of the man; how his voice is softened, though the fire el his eye is not dimmed; how his teem are multiplied; how intense is ide pastoral solieitude for the salvation of Israel." --Joseph Parker. Days .... prolonged -Compare chapters 8: 1; 30: .10; 5: 1.0. The person who wastes his life in sin does not live his allotted time. 3, increase mightily -Moses saw kreat future for them if they obeyed God, 4. God is one Lord -Here is the corner - stem of the Hebrew faith. ,Jehovah is one. This great truth stood opposed to all the idolatrous religions of the nations around them, against which Moses warns them so earnestly (v. 14). 5. Thou shalt love -This comprehensive require- ment God calls the first and great com- mandment. And by its side he places the requirement to love our neighbors as ourselves (Lev. 19: 18). On these two Lang all the law tutd the prophets, Com- pare Matt. 22.: 3740; Mark 12: 29-31; Luke 10: 27. The whole significance of the scriptures as a. rule of life is em. bodied in these requirements. -Lindsay. IVithout love God himself becomes but a distant and infinite idol. Love does not reason; love speaks its own lan- guage, finds its own prayers, ereatee.its own songs, and sets them to its own music. Children can love where they can not understand. Love passes straight through the zone of reason and ascends to the heaven where it was created in the heart of God. --Parker. Heart .... soul .... might- We may understand this as a command to devote all of our powers to God. The heart 23 man's inner nature and is the seat of the affec- tions, the desires, the motives an(1 the will. It includes "the intellectual, emo- tional and conative faculties." It is "the centre of all moral activity." The soul is "the personality, the individual existence." The might is "the sum of the energies" of both body and mind. "He that bath this love in his heart has the fountain and source of all virtue. It is to the life what the mainspring is to a watch, what a, fountain is to a stream, what the soul is to the body, what the two olive trees of Zecharialds vision were to the lamps they fed, It will express itself in love to nutn."-Peloubet.

The so-called phyl- acleries are leather boxes with four coed , partments, in which are put four por- Gone of the law written on parchment. These were bound to the forehead and arm by long leather straps. "But the real meaning of this command is that God's law should be in every deed of the hand, in the sight of the eyes, in the plans of the. head." O. write them -The Jew; take this literally. "Since writings were rare and costly, few could possess copier, of the law, or read them if they did posses e them; this command kept the truths of -God ever before the eyes of the people." The spiritual meaning is that our homes and in fact all our pos- sessions should be ruled in harmony with the law of God. III.

Love never faileth" (1 Cod 13. 4-8). Read this love chapter every day nn your knees awl ask God to teach you to live it. IV. Love the Lord thy God with "all thine heart" (v, 5). Love hiln under- standingly, appreciatively, earnestly, with surrendered will and tender sensi- bility and all the powers of your being. A divided service counts for little. J. R. Jaques says: "During the Franco-Prus- sian war, I had some experience illus- trative of this prineiple. Logien:9y I was on the side of the Cermans, honeying them right. Sympathetically I was on the side of France, for reasons I could but vaguely define. I had a German heed but a French heart, In vain I re- monstrated with my heart for its per- verse sympathy with the French, When- ever the news Caine of a reverse to the French, nty heart was pained while my head sided with the Germans. My head was right, I would have joined the army of the Germans. Would I not have Made a good soldier? I .could have truthfully sung, Tm glad I'm in this army: But if Gen. Moltke had known my heart, oculd he have trusted me? Now, in the army of the Lord some of us have hearts that are not true. The heart has sym- pathies that wended awiey to the armies of the allies. So God cannot trust us with much power, nor use us for his glory. But perfect love makes the heart loyal to God and to his kingdom." V. Notice the little pronoun (v. 5). You are commanded to love God, not as did Adam before lte fell, not as did the angele who never sinned, not as did Mary who sat at his feet, not as did John the beloved disciple, not as did Paul the greet scholar, not as did John Knox, whose love for souls broke out in the agonizing cry, "Give me Scotland, or I diel- but with thine heart, reaching after a God but just known, with thy soul, so long dead in trespasses a,nd sins, with thy might, which may seem but weakness. Pray him to enlarge thy heart, uplift thy soul, and increase thy strength, until all men seeing thy love shall know that ye ere his disciples in- deed. (John 13:34). II, Bide God's word "in thine heart" (s-, 6,) David saki, "Thy word have I in mine heart, that 1 might not sin against thee" (Pm, 119; 11.) A little girl lorged to join a picnic party.

"I was afraid of seeing you grievously disappointed," she said afterward to her tlaughter. "I have got the. *Thy -will -be -done' spirit in lny heart," the child answered, sweetly. Vit. "Teach thy children" (v. 7.) The story of the cross bass peculiar faseina. tion for children. Make the truth simple and compreheneive. A ehild was asked whether she would rather stay with Aunt Shure or Aunt Mary, both of whom W050 kind. She said, "0, I like to stay with Aunt Jane best, because she always puts the cakes and tarts on a low shelf, where I can get them easily." Too many talks to chiltiren are like Aunt Mary'e cakes, on a high ehelf. Set the cakes low. The teacher •who said in a Sunday school lesson, "The extens'an divine fergiveness to the impenitent is potential rather than aetual," put his eakee too high, A Christian mother led her little boy to a quiet spot, and, kneeling, commend. ed hint to Gsrl, As she ceased praying the child looked into her face, with hap. py tears in his eys, and said: "Mamma, am so glad you told Jesus my name, He knows me now, and when X mime tip to heaven he will eay, 'Come in, Arthur; your mother told me about you.'" 4. a 141. 4.4 A MG BLAZE. $750,000 Fire at Cincinnati -Fire- men's Hard Fight.

Y., Aug. 20. -One of the worst outbreaks among the insane prisoners in the history a Clinton prison at. Dannemora occurred last night. As a result, Isaac Dubois, one of the inmates, is dead, shot through the heart by a guard. The insane prisoners were being mar- shalled for bed when at a given signal they rushed into the big lower dormitor- ies and slammed the doors in the faces of the guards. Having locked the doors they proceeded coolly to set about mak- ing their escape by smashing the doors and sawing the bare. Some of the less violently insane, however, helped the jailers. Seeing that the- struggling convicts could not be reached through the big steel doors, the guards turned on them from the windows streams of water from the fire hose. This kept them at bay, TOEONTO Pram AND VEGETABLES. but did not subdue them, The guards were finally obliged to use rifles and pistois, and it was after midnight be- fore the uprising was quelled.

Financially the one thing of note has been the better tone noticeable in the stock market, there having been •some retovery from the low prices at last week. Wholesale trade con- tinues to move well in all lines. Large thip- meets of drygoods are going out and fall and winter business retains tbe cheerful outlook it has held for the past several weeks. In all lines of cloths and In cot- tons and linens prices hold firm. Deliveries are eon slow. Continued good weather bas teept up a sorting trade in summer lines.
