PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Golden Text. "But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believ: ing ye might have life through his name (John 20:31). Let the word "life" be the keynote for the review. I. Life given for life. `I am the good 'shepherd; the good shepherd .giveth his life for the sheep" (John 10:11). -Ile gives his life a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). The shepherd dies. that his Sheep may live (John 15:13). A man of God halted at the door of a log house in a clearing, and said to the woman who answered his call, "Have 3.int men anything of a lost lamb about. here?" "No, sir," was the reply. "Are you sure yea have seen no lost lamb ab.otit here?". She said. she had seen nerie. "Are you certain there is no lost lamb here?" he inquired the third time, in tones so full of meaning that they touched her heart, and lei her to eonfess with tears that she was the lost lamb for whom the good Shepherd even then . was seeking. There are many lost lambs. II. Resurrection and life. "Jesus said Unto her, I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11, 25). It was not a ques- tion of time. He eoula as easily raise Lazarus that day as the last day, for He, the resurreetion, the power, to im- part, maintain, and restore life was there. He would teach Martha that the resurrection was not an impersonal fate to take place in the futures but a Per- sonal effect proceeding front himself; not a distant resurrection:time, but a present resurrection -power. III. Life and service. "S'he liath done what she could" (Mark 14, 8). God will use what you have if vou lovingly do your part. 1V. Life and love. "By love serve one another" (Gal. 5, 13), Human love can- not attain to all this. We tenet obtain divine love. We must "abide in His love'. (John 15, 10). V. Life. and heaven. "In iny Father's house are many mansions" (John 14, 2). Faith in Christ here leads to life with Christ hereafter. VI. Life by the Spirit. When Jesus went to the Father He sent the Com- forter, the Holy Spirit, to give life the 'world. VIL Life and power. "As soon then AS He had said unto Mein, 1 ere Ite, they went baekward, and fell to the ground" (John 18, 6). The soldiers felt backward; jests deinanded protection for His dis- ciples; the servant's ear ;Was healed, all of which show 8 Ms supernittairal power, VIM Life through death. "Christ died for our sins according to the &tip - tures" (I. Cor. 15, 3), Ile teok the plow of the forsaken, that we might take the place of the iteeepted mph. 1, 0). IX. Life after death. "But now is Christ risen from the dead„ ami keine* the fitst fruits of them that slept" (I. Cot. 15, 20). A little girl stood with her mother besidethe open grave of a dar- ling -sitter. Her mother /said, "Take one more lookony ehild, this ie the last look you may have of your eister." But the child thought beyond the tomb, and re- lied, "Olt, Mitreina, We Shall see her in the resurrection," What a balm that was, in that hour of aevere anguieh, it wile better to think of that part, thau srieve over the separation on earth. X. Life imparted through Christ, 'But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus la the Christ, the ton af Uod; and that, believing, ye might have life through Hits name" (siolut 20, 31). XL J„ife and service. Peter was for- given and then given it great work to dot "Filed iny lambs." "Feed my sileep.' A. C. 31, NIAGARA VNHARNESSED, The Falls on the U, S..

They foundi the abutments in a much better state than was thought, The trouble has not so much been that the masonry has been waehed away, but that the foundation on which the protecting wall rested has been undermined by the current. The international engineers professed to believe that another and sufficieut wall might be built te hold the wear - off, but no -decision was reached, CHATHAM LADY SMUGGLERS. „Twenty Notified They Must Repay Price of Articles Smuggled. Chatham, Ona, June 14. -About twen- ty Chatham ladies, including sonic of th•e city's leading society women, have been notified by the Customs Department that they have been discovered smug- gling from Detroit, and they will now either have to repay the price of the articles amuggled, plus the duty, or re- turn the goods, 'else they Will be forced to suffer the consequenees. The affair has caused quite a sen- sation in this city, and it is understood that many others, who have not receiv- ed notice, are shaking hi their smuggled boots, for fear the blow may fail on them next. It is understood that the merchants of the city have upon many occa- sions objected strongly to the leniency shown by the Castonis officers. For the past few weeks spotters have been at work in. Detroit, under the. pay of the .Chathara officials. They carefully wait- ed for the bargain-huntdis from Chat- ham, and followed them around through the different stores, gathering evidence. ibe articles smuggled were chiefly wearing apparel, although in some eases articles were brought over wilt& would cause any ordinary Man to wonder how they could be concealed. • • VALUABLE COINS STOLEN.

PRICES MAY LIFT EMBARGO., Spread of British Opinion in Favor of Admitting Canadian Cattle. London, June 14.- The high meat prices are revealing a spread of opinion in favor or removing the embargo from Canadian cattle. W.

The followleg information regarding agricultural conditions in the Province about the middle of May has been is- sued by the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture; Fall Wheat -While • correspondents are not nearly tmanimous, the general tenor of reports regarding fall wheat is favorable, In most cases the crop en- tered the winterset little short en top, but snow fell early, and lay on the ground. nearly all the season, thus af- fording good protection, except on knolls where the young plants were ex- posed, and in sone of the fence corners, where the crop was smothered. Early sown wheat did better than that put lit later, and the crop did best on rolling IftmL Winter Rye -This crop wintered even better than hill wheat, but it is not largely grown for grain, being raised chiefly for pasture, .green feed, and for turning under for manure. Clover -Correspondents aro muck di- vided in their opinions regarding the con- dition and prospects of the clover crop, descriptions ranging from "excellent" to "pooe." Live Stock -It is the general opinion that the average condition of live•stock is much better than was expected, and the providene handlieg of fodder sup- plies has shown that Ontario farmers as a class are 101 capable of meeting such alt emergenef No disease of an epi- dentie nature has been reported amongst live stock. Horses are described as being rather thin, but they IWO in fair Work- ing condition. Supplies -Hay was so scarce and dear last fall that much anxiety was felt by many its to whether they could pull along 111411.'6e new growth was. avail- able. Some farmers were forced to buy hay, but the bulk of those owning live stock, by careful feeding, came through the winter without having to resort to purchasing, and a number of persons who were holding surpIns hay over for famine priceiare now willing to, sell at .from $4 to $6 a ton less than was offer- ed for it in tlie fall. ()ate have not been so scarce. and high in price for years, al- though here and there it few farmers re- port a fair supply on band. Most of the wheat has been sold, and the sepply in the barns is much less than is usual at this time of the year, More farmers than ever are buying flour, and are feed- ing or selling all their wheat. Fruit Trees -Orchards have come through the winter in good condition, having suffered less than usual from se - ram cold, ie °storms, etc. The San Jose scale and the oyrster-shelA, bark louse are reported at various points, but the spraying campaign is being more vigor- ously entered upon than ever, and more attention generally is now being paid to orchard trees. Fruit. bade promise a good yield should rain hold up during the petiod of bloom. In short, the spring outlook was never better for Ontario fruit. Spring Seeding -In the Lake Erie dis- trict seeding was almost 'completed by the middle of May, and in some of the other western counties work was also well advanced, although hindered some- what by rain. In the eastern half of the Province, more particularly in the St. Lawrence and Ottawa counties, heavy rains have kept farmersoff the land, ex- cept in most favorably situated places, and meek sprieg sowing remained to be done. • • is BIT BY LIGHTNING.
