Certain things were pro- aoenced unclean to the Jew by the law of Moses, for their religious training, ant their separation from other nations. It was not because there was anything essentially wrong in the use of them ( :Use 10:13-15; 1 Tine. 4-4). to him that esteemeth-Who in his conscience looks upon it as wrong. to hem it is unclean - Ito may be mistaken in his conception of duty, but it is wrong for him to vio- late his own sense of duty.

If a man goes agaitest his own conscience, he is doing wrong; for to do what one thinks to be wrong has the same effect as though it were wrong, since he yields in heart to con- sent to do evii.

Various admonitions (vs. 19-23). 10. Follow.. , .peace -Put away conten- tions about non -essentials and insist on the essentials of Christianity, This, how- ever, often involves what many call the "little things." Edify another -Encour- age and aid those things which build up Christian character. Intertperance does the exact opposite of this. It destroys good mortals, social standing, the home, happiness, character and soul. 20. For eneat-A small and trifling neater. De - grey not the work -The work of faith id the heart» of ellen is God's work (Eph, 2: 10).

"Each one of us shall give aeount of himself to God" (v. 12). Bade one of us must learn and eat and drink and sleep for himself. Each one of Ile must die by himself. The pronouns of the Bible are emphae tie. "Ye must be born again" (John 3. 7). "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil. 2, 12). "Be ye therefore perfect" (Matt. 5. 48). Con• sider "thyself lest thou also be tempted" (OM. 0. 1). "Each one of us shall give account of himself to God." II. Judgment. "Lest us not, therefore, judge one another any more" (v, 13). 1. Judging, is arrogance. "Who are thou that judgest another?" (v, 4; Jas. 4, 12), Are you infallible? Is there no pos- sibilit3r that y.ou are mistaken? 2. Judging es useless. "Who are thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth" (v. 4). 3. judging is Presumption. "Why dost thou judge thy brothers?... .we fihall all stand before the- judgment seat of Christ" (v. 10). judging is Christ's work, ti3t ours. We usurp his prerogative when we judge an- other to be bigoted, or wrong, or wick- od because he differs from us in the non -essentials in which each is coin - mended to "be fully persuaded in his own mind" (v. 5). III. Judge (v. 13). Here is a Bible paradbx We are forbidden to judge am motives of men, "the hidden things -the counsela of the hearts" (1 Cor. 4: 5). Forbidden to judge "ac- eording to. appearances" (John 7: 24). Forbidden to judge one another for aot keeping Jewish ordinances (Col. 2: 1G). Forbidden to judge others as regards eating or drinking. or service (vs 3, 4). Paul did not judge Apol- loa (1 Cor. 16: 12). We are to judge sinful deeds, as Paul did the forni- cators of Vorinth (1 Cor. 5: 3), and Peter judged Ananias and Sapphire (Acts 5: 3), and John judged Dio- trephes (3 John 9). We are to judge the words of 'professed teachers (1 Cor. 10: 15) to 'prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 These. 5: el): Above all we are to "judge ourselves" (1 Cor. 11: 31) as to words and deeds and motives. IV. Steppina-stones. "No man put stumbling -block, or an occasion to fall, in Ws brother's way" (v. 13). "It is good not to pat flesh, nor to drink wine, rior to do anything where- by thy brother stumbleth" (v.„91). We have no right to bp stumbling -blocks. God means- us to be stepping-stonee. No right to be a hindrance. God means us to help. V, Walk in love. "If -.because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love" (v. 15). Love not only "thinketh no evil" (1 Cor. 13:5), but "love worketh no ill" (13: 10). A Sunday schoel super- intendent wont to the theatre. Af- terward, learning that a member of his school was ill, he called to see him, and found him hopeless of sal- vation, "My denr boy," he began, "Jesus will--,-" "Ifneh!" wns the wild anewer; ifclen't talk to me about Jesus. Three months ego saw you go to the theatre, and that onueed me to go; mid to -day I am 4 1014 soul, and you are the cause of it," That superintendent said he would have been willing to give his life -work it he could have malted that act. VI. Seek peace (1 Pot. 3,31). "Fol- low after the things which make for peece and....edify" (v. 19). "Be willing to part with a little of your own ground, rather than that your -brother's limo should remain un- built " A. C. M. OVERLOANS AND FORGERY.

Explosion Believed to Have Been Prompted by Suicidal Motive. Lebanon, Nov. 18. -It is now believed that Mrs, Mary Terwilliger Smith, who was blown to pieces in the explosion at Knig's powder mills, committed suicide as the result of a joke played on her by other women employed in the factory. It is believed that Mrs. Smith purpose- ly ignited one of •,-.91-3 primers, with which she was working, !ems exploding the en- tire lot. Several weeks ago the girl employees sent Mrs. Smith's name to a matrimon- ial bureau, and correspondence with George W. Ashbaugh, of Wapakoneta, resulted. The girls wrote that Mrs. Smith would receive Ashbaugh at her home wearing a red geranium on her breaet. Ashbaugh arrived, and when Mrs. Smite learned that it was he at her door, she ran to the home of a neighbor and requested her to tell Ashbaugh she was not at home. Ashbaugh's visit was told about town, much to the embarrassment of Mrs. Smith. She brooded over the ma.tter and soon,became almost unfit for work. The girls in the shop are heart- brcken now. •• PRINCE DEAD.

Cheering In the Court -Engineer Hodge and Conductor Grimes aro Free -Story of the Wreck at the Horseshoe Curve Near Caledon. Brampton, Nov, 16.-Wben the jury in the case of George Ilodge (engin- eer) and Matthew Glrimes (conductor) of the ill-fated 0, P. R. Exhibition special passenger train, wrecked at7 the horseshoe curve September 3 lest rendered a verdict of not guilty to- nighl the crowded court room broke into a demonstration seldom seen in a court of justice. The ladies who filled the balcony cheered, whilst those who sat near the prisoners' dock crowded around the two train-. men and carried them to the street. The verdict seemed to be a popular one, and was brought in after the jury had been out about two hours. Prior to the jury leaving the jury room Sheriff Broddy asked for silence when the verdict was announced, but the temptation was too great for the spectators, many of whom sat through the trial from early morning till late at night. When order was restored Mr Justice Magee, in discharging the prisoners, said: -"I am glad for your sake that the jury have been able to reach a definite conclusion. 1 hope it will be a lesson to you both in after life to exercise all possible carefulness in the discharge of your duties." The charge of manslaughter against Hodge was traversed till the next sitting of the Assizes, and bail was accepted in two sureties of $2,000 each, furnished by Peter Steele and Albert McGovern, of Toronto. The deplorable wreck, which result- ed in seven Lpassengers being killed and one hundred injured, occurred on the horseshoe curve, near Caledon. The direct accusation brougnt against the defendants was neglently caus- ing the death of David Bell and sev- eral others. Mr. N. F. Davidson, Crown Prosecutor, in his address to the jury said the charge against the defendants was based on two counts under the criminal code, which held the men absolutely responsible ine neglecting to carry out the rules of the railway company. Mr. T. C. Rob- inette, K.C., in his address contended that the Crown had utterly failed to make out a case; that negligence on the part of the defendants was not anywhere shown, and that they had complied with the regulations of the company. His Lordship in char-aing the jury said the railways carry thousands of lives every day. The public relied upon the company and railway employees for protection from any danger of life, and it was in their power to give and to exercise their hest caution. TWO eliOOKS.

AGE OF SENTIMENT IN FINLAND - LEGISLATURE'S DRASTIC ACT. Total Prohibition of Spirits, Even Wine for Communion Service Being For- bidden. London, Nov. IL -Finland furnished last week a striking example of the effects of universal suffrage combined with epiritual control of Socialist theories. Its Legislature consists of a single chamber of two hundred, mem- leers. Fifty-six per cent, of the vot- ers at the last election in the towns and fifty per ciente in the rural dis- tricts were women. Nineteen women were elected members of the cham- ber. The Soeialist Democratic. party elected. eighty members, and it has other sympathizers It has just pass- ed a drastic act tor the total prohibi. tion of spirits, wine, beer and al- cohol, which may be kept only for medical and technical purposes and for the use of Russian troops. Even the use of wine for communion ser• vice is forbidden. No one may keep alcoholic drinks in his house unless lee can prove that they were in his pos- session before the Act was passed. The police have full rights of search, and the penalties vary from $20 to penal servitude for three years. There is no provision for loss of capital in breweries, distilleries or private houses. The Baroness Gripenberg, one of the best known women members, said that in dealing with a question of this vital social importance it was quite time to leave "reason aside and Jet sentiment prevail." This moves the Times to remark: "There we have the true inwardness revealed of the Social Democratic revision naked and nn - ashamed. The early revisions were content to inaugurate the 'age of rea- son,' and we know what that _means. ft was reserved for the Social Demo- eratic resolution to inaugurate the age of sentiment, and we have yet to learn all that that means. At any rate it means, so far as At luts gone in its ehosen home of the Grand Duchess of Finland, one heavy blow at the 'prin- ciples of liberty." It is not expected that the law will ever come into opera- tion, for the veto of the Czar is regarded as certain." NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE Suggestel by Dr. Van Floeckher, a Ger- man Writer, •Berlin, Nov. W. -The German com- ment on the courtesies being extended to the Emperor by King Edward is distincs- ly appreciative, end indicates a great de- gree of good -will.

Germany and Great Britain, belonging to the Ger- man Protestant world, should draw clos- er together and follow in common the same general international aims.
