To see it --The atmosphere of that country ia very clear and the sight is carried a long dis- tance. Moses had no miraculous power of vision imparteti to hint. "The pano- rama described here may be seen by any traveller." *Ole could not enter the pro- mised land ou earth, but God gave him a vision of its glories from Pisgah's top, showing him that he had accomplihsed his ivork. that his life had been successful.

He also spoke unadvisedly with his lipe, calling the people "rebels," rata he failed to acknowledge God in the miracle. The Lord immediately told Moses and Aaron that they would not be peumitted to enter Canaan. II. The death and burial of Moses (vs. 5-8). 5. Servant of the Lord -This is a title of great dignity; Moses had been emin- ently useful. "It was more his honor to be the Aervant of the Lord Oen tho be king in Jeehurun." "No one can be called the servant of the Lord who does not conquer the world, who is not able to overcome all things." -Lindsay. Died -There is a mystery in connection with the death and burial of Moses.; there are some who think he was immediately translated. Note, 1. The best must die. 2. They may die when apparently great- ly needed. 3. They will die when and where God decrees. According to the word -Literally, at the mouth of Je- hovah. Some of the rabbins interpret it. By a kiss of Jehavale The Jerusalem Taremm expressly explains it, according to the sentence of the 'decree of Jehovah. ---NVhed. Cons. The greatest men are but instruments in Godts hands, and Ime can lay them aside whenever he chooses. None are indispensable to him. This', should, 1. Cause us to see our own little- ness. 2. Dispel our feare for the future of the church. 0. He buried him -That is, • Gad buried him. "This is an honor no hu- man being ever received besides him. From Jude 9 it appears that 'Michael, the archangel, was employed on this occasion, and that Satan disputed the :natter with him." -Clarke. No man knoweth-The spot was not marked; had it been it might hare become the object of idolatrous worship. Human conjec- tures regarding its location are valueless. 7. An hundred and twenty -The life of Moses was divided into three periods of forty years -each. 1. He was in Egypt forty years. 2. In Midian forty years. 3. For forty years he led the people of God in their wanderings, as they jour- neyed toward Canaan. Not dim -Moses did not die of disease. He was young even in old age. 8. Wept -The people were. 1. Bereav- ed by a mysterious event. 2. Punished for ingratitude. 3. Taught by a wise pro- vidence.

The Lord had directed Moses to invest Joshua with authority. In chapter 31:7, 8, Moses gives him a brief and impressive charge. hearkened -They submitted themselves respectful- ly to Joshua, because God had appointed him as their leader by the hand of Moses. "A new generation had now arisen, who had been trained in the wil- derness under Moses' inamediate tendence. The old refractory genera - ti m, brought up amid the idolatry and ungodliness of Egypt, had passed away. The discipline of the wilderness had had its intended effect upon their suecessors. And we never henceforth read of the nnirmurings and the rebellious spirit whiel: bad -so often broken forth against Moses in the defied (Josh. 24:31)." IV. The diameter of Moses (vs. 10-12). 10. not like unto Moses -Joshua was filled with the spirit of practical wisdom, but was not like Moses, gifted with power to work signs and miracles, to found a kingdom and create a nation. None, except Jeints, equalled Moses in official dignity, holy character and inti- mate friendship with God. Moses knew God an51 freely and familiarly conversed with bine-Hone Com. "In whatever light we view this extraordinary man, the eulogy pronounced in these inspired verset Will appear inst." face to face - :Showing the dose relationship that ex- isted between them. 11, 12. Here is a refsrenee to the wonders wrought at the band of Moses in Egypt and during the wilderness life. Moses was a great gen- eral, a great statesman, a great law- giver, a great prophet, a great writer, great in character. The life of Mose e was divided into three iMportent and strongly marked peritele, of forty years eaell.

If he loses money it is surely for the best. "All things work together for good." Et might have proved a snare. 111. A well lean. "Moses was a hun- dred and twenty years old- wheathe died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated," (v. 7.) A. B. Simpson says: -A sense of insufficiency and a real fail- ure of our own resources is the way to llutre strength. But many say, 'I ain not sufficient," who fail to add, ' our sufficiency is of God, who bath also made us able.' Merely to feel our help- lessness is not enough, we must put on his strength, we must apply for and ap• propriate his living power. We miist treat him as if he were a Teal, present, available and all aufficient helper, and rely fully upon him." 1V. A representative num. "No man knoweth of his sepulchre" (v. 0.) Moses is the Old Testament saint who repre- sents and illustrates those who are to be raised from the dead at the coming of the Lord. V. A typical man. "A prophet" (v. 10.) "Moses also was a type of Christ, an imperfect one, of course, but as such he shows forth the two great features of Christ's work for us. Like Christ, Moses died for the sake of bis people, and on account of their sin; and liko Christ, God raised him from the dead and ex. :sited him on high." VI. A lamented man. "The children of Lerael wept for Moses" (v. 84) Moses liv- ed so that he was missed. A newspaper tells how a traveller in Norway came to a village early one morning and was struck by the air of gloom which per- vaded the streets. Unable to speak the language, lie could not ask the cause, and concluded that Bonus sickness or financial trouble had befallen the com- munity. As the day wore on, the houses were closed, shop windows were covered, and all business ceased. It was death then. Presently he saw the people gathering for the funeral. There were the village officials, the noblemen from the neighboring chateau, and apparently every mae, woman and ebild in the vie lege. "it must be some dignitary of the church or sonic 'county official," he thought. As he stood watching the crowds passing down the little rocky street, be caught sight of the face of an acquaintance. He beckoned to him: "The town has lost some great mag- nate, apparently?" "Ale no; it is only a young maiden that is dead. No; she is not beautiful, nor rich, but ale such a pleasant girl, monsieur! All the world 4001115 darker now that she is dead." VII. A remembered man. "Israel ".. did as the Lord commanded Moses" (v. 9.) Isfany times in the Old Testament, Moses' name is mentioned, and he is honored in the New Testament, in the eallisey of faithful ones, with the four- fold words, "By faith" (Mb. 11; 23-28). A.

Now a line is to be built from Golden on the present main line to connect with the Crow's Nest branch, asel so on through to Lethbridge, Alberta, In fur- therance of this the eompany bus award- ed a contract for a bridge Id cross the Belly River at Lethbridge. It will be one of tlie finest in the west, and will cost $1,500,000. The bridge will be com- pleted in 1009, and with it opened a great part of the trauscontinental traffic will be diverted to the Crow's Nest branch. If anything, the latter will be a, little shorter than the present main lino. Work on the building of the line from Golden southeast to the Crow's Nest will be started this fall, and may easily be completed in 18 months.

Receipts of live stock at the city market since Tuesday as reported by the railways were 93 carloads, composed of 1,386 cattle, 866 liege, 4,183 sheep and kunbs and 250 calves. It was the old story, as regards the quality of cattle offered as fat, too few finished, and too many of the 111 -bred, in -fed, half -fat kinds are being rushed on the/market. Trade was all right for a few finished cattle, but outside of these it was dull, with quotations the lowest of the season for Um low grades. Ex,porters-No loads of export cattle on sale, but a tew, probably halt a dozen steers, picked out of as many loads of butchers, and a few bulls, not more than a load., all told. 2 steers weighing 1,400 lbs. each dold 'at $4.75 per cwt., and the bulls mkt at 33.50 to $4.35 per cwt. Butchers -A few picked cattle, about one out of every hundred on the market that were of good quality, sold at $4.6e to $5 per cwt.; medium at 34.26 to $4.50; common $3.25 to $4; (sows sold ail the way from $2 to $4 per cwt.; canners 51 to 51.50 per cwt.

With an air of something like desper- ation, he worked at the machine, which appeared to be the main source of trouble, bat try us he liked he could not get the mechanism to run smooth- ly', and it seemed as if there was no option but to abandon the attempt. Mr. Robinson, however, lacks neither cour- age nor perseverance, and continuing his operations he suddenly startled the crowd of spectators who were following his movements by calling to his attend- ants: who were holding on to the ropes to let go. Instantly the airship, freed from restraint, soared skyward, and 30,000 eyes were fixed upon it as the wind carried it rapidly in a northeaster. ly direction, the propeller working with great rapidity. This was shortly after noon, and the Manner in which the ship made the ascent and began its flight gave rise to hopes among the crowd that Robinson would succeed in proving the efficacy of lus charge.

Sample loaves were exhibited, showing scarcely any dif- ference in size between the "blend" made loaf and the pure Manitoba.

These gentlemen had been detained, however. Mr. W. G. Bailey, now of Hamilton, but previously a Winnipeg man, thought that frost was not likely to visit the crop between now and cutting time. He estimated the yield this year at 75,00Q,- 000 bushels. Mr. II. L. Rice advocated organization among the millers of each community to protect prices. . AUSTRALIA'S NEW TARIFF.

A peasant and his wife brought two of their children, twine four monthe and in open market offered to sell them for $40 each,. The babies were plump and healthy, and were bought by a man who offered the price required. He was Ueda; the children away when the police steparal in and arrested both buyer and seller& 4 • 4 the worse of his venture, though chag- rined at kis failure. The story of what happened may hest be. told in Robinson's own words: "For while," he stated, "everything went well, and I headed straight for the City Hall. I had ascended seven hundred feet, and, was making good progress, when, just as I feared, the motor went wrong and the ship was thrown into the wind. Then she stepped, and when -1 pulled the lever she shot backward in- stead of forward.- I saw a long freight train approaching, and ' it seemed 88 though 1 was going to drop right on the tracks.• I threw out my fifty pounas ef ballast and rose again, and then the next thing I knew I was caught on the eapola of the school building. "I had no right to make an ascent in such a wind," continued Robinson, "'but the directors were importunate, and the press equally so. The public was egg- ing them on, and I decided to go up 11 it was my last day of life. Tuesday the rain made an ascent impossible, and on Wednesday, had I listened to the public, I would have been blown into Lake On- tario and doubtless drowned. 'The air: ship is still in the experimental stage, but fairly successful in calm weather. Of necessity the engine is light and cannot possess the stability of a heavier ma- chine." Robinson's predicament was witnessed by several men who were in tho vicinity of the school, and with their assistance the airship was quickly released from its perilous position on the eupola of the Crawford street school, where it had stuck. The next problem was hoW to get the ship back to the grounds. Rob- inson proposed to tow it, so manipulat- ing it by means of ropes that such ob- stacles as telegraph and telephone wires could be surmounted. This plan, how- ever, was found impracticable, and late in the afternoon the airship was dis- mantled and conveyed to the Exhibition grounds in a. wagon. By that time, its already indicated, the directors had decided to cut the proposition out, so that the public may not be subjected to further disappointment."

Toronto, Sept. 2.-Loeal bakers will shortly be foreed to decrease the size of the loaves of bread, if an increase in the price per loaf is to be avoided.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 2. -The terrible sacrifice of a child by a fanatic in the village of Sysoeva, Mogiloff petvernment, has resulted in the arrest of 32 heads of families, that consented to the awful deed, one man 102 years of age, in the village there lived a peasant called Michael Koltchevsky, who ha,d long been regarded as a "saint," and who always gave out that he was "not of this world." July 29 Michael told his fellow -visitors that he had had a revela- tion from heaven to the effect that all tierthly misfortunes proceeded from anto Christ, and that it was necessary to kill anti -Christ, who had become incarnate in the person of a two-year-old boy, the son of a peasant called Orobtachevsky. The parents of the child were per- suaded to consent to the sacrifice, and, the mother laving pointed out the exact spot where the child had been born, the "prophet" laid the victim there and be- gan to press him to death with his feet. In a quarter of an hour the child wa4 dead; but, to make sure, the "prophet" gave him 20 blows on the head with an iron hammer. The body was then cut ia two halves by the "prophet," who after- ward again divided each part by two, praying fervently all the time, the vil- lagers looking on reverentially. At last Koltehevsky put the fragments of the body in a sack, tied the sack to the tail of a horse, mounted the horse himself and rode through the village, followed by the inhabiterats, who bore lighted candles (it now being night), anil an. ikon of St. Nicholas, the Wonder - Worker. The child was then buried, while the muzlaks sang songs of praise. It was now daylight, and the 'prophet" went home to sleep, after inviting tho peasants to come at 8 o'clook in the evening, in order to see him, the "prophet" ascend to heaven from the roof of his hut. But 8 o'clock found Koltchevsky asleep in bed, anti after waiting patiently a long time, the villag- ers resolved to wake Min. Koltehevsky was Di one of his lucid intervals, how- ever, and, after hearing what had hap- pened the night before, he attempted to explain that the ascension to heaven could not take place just then, bemuse the permission of the nearest priest should have been obtained before anti - Christ was put to death. Finally the peasants began to beat the "prophet," who would probably have been killed had not tbe local pollee in- spector happened to be passing within earshot. The "prophet" and all the heads of families in the village were then arrsted, and will be tried. The "prophet" is described as a man of 23 years of age, but looking ninch older, with an intelligent face, long, flowing hair and restless eyes, TORONTO PLUMBERS Bosses and Men Agree on AH Points But Open Shop. Toronto, Sept. 2. -The plumbers' strike is now in an interesting stage. The men have modified their demands so that ap- prentices shall receive $7 a week in their fourth year, and $0.50 a week in their year, instead of $8 and $12.50 as first proposed. The minimum wage for men to be 40 cents per hour, instead of 45 cents, and all journeymen to receive an advance of 21/2 cents per hour. These conditions have been favorably veecived by the majority of the em- ployers, and a settlement on thole terms would. have been made but for the bond the employers are under not to give way on the open -shop question.
