It was "ameaty-five feet high, and sixty feet broad, and was made chiefly Of Corinthian brass, and overlent vita gold and silver plates. Ti; was an inner gate leading, from the couet of the Gentiles into the court of the women. 3. Into the temple -From the outer eourt of the Gentiles itno the court of the women and tOe ()thee courts of the temple. An alms -The giving of alms was a sacred duty in. connection evith th3 religious offeringe of the temple (Deut, lle 28, 29; 13, 7-11; 20, 12, 13). 4.

The men who leave done the most for the world have uot been moneyed men. In the name - That is -by the aelhority of Jesus Christ, ,Jearus was still living and per- '. forming the same works he did when in the heal). Nazareth ---"This title had been. attached in derision to Jesus, and in thus using it Peter embraced the ' humiliation and cross of Christ in the condition of healing, as well as his pow- e•er and glory." Rise up and walkh-The man felt there was no mockery In the command. Tile words were intereareted to him by the lotk ana beach of Peter, by the rush of new life through him, and perhaps by some memory of Jesus. -Lindsay. The command was to do the thing; not merely to try, or to look around for some means to assist in walking. So God commands the sinner to repent and believe tend lead a holy life. 7.

Iteld Peter and john-"Ife felt the strongest affection for them, as the „ loser:meats- by• which the clitine in- fluence was conveyed to his dieeased body." Itan together -To the central point of ataraetion.

Row were the people 'affected? Who address, ed them? th'here? WhO did , he say had healed the man? gOW was the heal, log brought about? Why was Jesus called tbe Holy One? The Just? 'The Prince of life? - . PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Giving and Taking. I. Give what you have. 1, Give your prayers. Peter and ,Tohn were men of "prayer," (v. 1). Power for such service as they rendered comes only with prayer (Matt. 17:21). When we caunot help any other way we can prny. 2, Give your eyes. "Peter fastening his eyes upon him .with John" (v. 4). The apostles were on their way to the place of prayer, but they saw the cripple and stopped to give him time, attention and interest, They waited and looked sympathetically into his face. They sew that lic was hopelees, helpless, shut out from worehip, and poor (v. 2). We eau train ours eyee. We may- learn to dis- cern the needs of those about us. 3, Give your lips. "Peter said" (Via 4, 6). He gave words of encouragement, of feith, of command. Kind words are worth more than money. We should %now how to speak a word in season to him that is weary" (Isa. 50: 4). 4, Give in Ids name. "In the name of Jesus Ohrist4 (v. 6). "His name, through faith in his name, hath made this man strong" (v. 16), Ta giye in Jesus' name, you must have his confidence. Teter and John had reeeived their commission frone the Lord. You must not only trust him, but he must be able to trust you, II. Take what Clod haa. Before you can give to man you must take from God. "What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe tlmt ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11: 24). 1. Desire. "Laid daily at the gate" (v. 2). The beggar desired alms. He was laid where they could be given. He desired healing. Ile obeyed the words of the apostles (vs. 0; 7). There aro some things Cod never gives until we desire them. He will oever eave one who does not want to be saved. He gives exeeeding above all our desire, but not until "the desire worketh in us" (Eph. 3: 20, 21). 2. Pray. "A certain man .. asked" (va. 2, 3), Desire is but the beginning of the obtaining of blessing. God says, ".Ask ine command ye me" asa. 45: 11). "Call unto me" (Jer. 33: 8). "Pray unto me and I will harken" (Jer. 29, 12). 3. Believe. "He gave heed" (v. 4). "Faith hath made this man strong .... faith given hho thiaperfect sound - 'lass" (v. 16.) contothe by hear- ing, and hearing by the word 9f God" (Rom. 10: 17). We can hear when eve "heed." "Sheep hear" (John 10: 27). Those who are simple hearted need "study to be quiet" (1 Thess. 4: 11), those who "evatell to see what he will say" (Hab. 2: 1), can hear, and hearing comes by the word of God. The written Word in your hand will prepare the way for the living word in your heart. If you study the book you can hear the Author. It will be no troubie to be- lieve him if you really hear his voice by his word and his Spirit. 4. Receive. "Immediately his feet and ankle bones received .strength." (v. 7). We must not only ask and believe, but take what God offers. 5. /lave. "He leaping up stood, and walked, and mitered -with them into the temple" (v. 8). Every promise we in- propriate is ours. What we take we have. Desire and prayer and faith and receiving are the way to conscious pos- session. 6 Enjoy, The joys of the Christian are ninny. The cripple eould (1) _Wor- ship. "He entered into the temple with them" (v. 8). He was no longer obliged to- beg at the gate. He could enter into communion. (2) Praise. "Praising God" (vs..8, 0). He had been given the "gar- ment of praise fer the spirit of heat/ ness (Ise. 61: 3). . A, 0, M. • •e• FRENCH SENATE. Bound. to Declare Its Opirion on Treaty Will: Canada.

A, Hamilton aospatch says: Such was the appalling 'toll of death this mornieg in a level crossieg accident when a fest .passenger tram mowed through a sleigh load of people, demol- lolling the outfit end aurling the :Neu - pants right and left. Grand Trunk ex- press' No. 8, eastbound from Hamilton, running .probably sixty milee an hoar, crashed into the sleigh at 2,55 this morn- ing, just east of eirimsby. Three people, Mr, and Airs. Wilson and George Teeter, were instantly killed, Mrs. Teeter died shortly after her injuries, ana one of the three injured people, Gordon Nel- sen), is in a serious condition in the Otty Hospital, and may not recover. WENT TO A DANCE. The party of seven left Grimsby vil- lage at 8 o'clock last night for a donee at Winona. Sheltie,. after 2 o'clock they bade. their hosts pleasant farewell and 3tarted for home. Just how the =idea happened is not ktown. The night woe bitter cold and the occupants of the sleigh were well wrapped up. William Wilson was driving, 'Whether he had his ears covered for Protection agrinst the cold end did not see the approaching express, or, seeing it, thought Ile had time te race over the trades aimed of it, is not known. The train crew declare that the mistime:try signals apron,ehing a crossing were given. Speeding at the rate of almost a, mile a tninute,, the big engine crashed into the outfit with ter- rifie, force, mangling the horses and throwing the occupants of the sleigh on either side of the track. The engmeer SAW the sleigh cross the track but not until he was almost on top of it, and before be had time to slackeu speed. The train was brought to a standstill a short distance further east, and backed up to the scene of the aecident A PITIFUL SIGHT. A. etitiable scene presented itself to the train ercev• and passengers, who got out to make search for the dead and in- jured. The lifeless bodies of William Wilson, his wife, and George Teeter, were picked. up several feet front the track. alrs. Teeter was found bruised end bleeding, a short distance from her husband, She wae dying -when picked, up, and breathed her last before she eould be taken to the hospital. Miss Lottie Teeter was peeked up un- nonscious and at first it was thought she was fatally injured. Gordon Nelson was also found terribly injured and un- conscious. The Teeter baby, a tiny mite of humanity, just a little .over a year of age, had a miraculous eaoape, being 'hurled several feet svlten' the sleigh was struck. Cosily enshrouded in warm wraps it fell hi snowbauk uninjured, while the father hay dead a few feet away. A professional nurse on 'her way across the border was a passenger on the train and she was one of the first to rush to the aid of the injured. The pas- sengers stood in the bitter doId and watched her work 'trying to restore the injured to consciousness. The iujured were -carried to the station and dootors from the village- summoned as rapidly as possible. About 8 oclock this morn- ing Miss Teeter recovered consciousness. Gordon Nelson was brought to the Hata- ilton Hospital and operated on this morning. lio is in a serious condition and his recovery is said to be doubtful. The Teeter baby had only a scratch ou its face. It %MS sleeping when the awl - dent occurred and slept for two hours after the accident. PATHETIC PEA.THEES. The news of the terrible accident, re- plete with pathetic features, spread quickly around the village and created a profound sensation for the victims were all well known in Grimsby and vi- einity and had hosts of friends. Six of the seven people who figured in the ae- cidente were related. Mrs. Wilson was a Miss Teeter before, her nulling° and a sister of George Teeter. Miss Lottie Tee- ter is another sister of George Teeter. Mr. Wilson was about 35 years of age and his wife two or three years younger. George Teeter was 22 years of age and his wife 20 years. There wae a pathetic seem: in the Wit - son hoine when news of tho accident reached there. 'There is a family of six small children, the youngest only a year and the oldest thirteen. The little chil- dren etied pitably for their Parents. Wilson had been employed for years by. J. W. VanDyke, proprietor 'of the Lin- coln HOuse, Griineby, on the latter's farm a mile and a half west of tha vil- lage, and lives on the farm. Teeter was a barber, employed by Swab & C4ilmore. A FATAL onossmci, 'The spot where the accidene occurred is known as tho Grimsby Village cross- ing, and has a deadly record. Fully it dozen people have been killed there ha the last twelve years. Ten years ago George Teeter`e father met with an ac- cideut at the crossmg, which later cam - ed his death. Three years ago three people were killed on tho sarne spot, Miss Hainer, Miss Hughes and a boy. They were atandIng on the crossing waiting for the express and failed to notice the approach of it'freight, . Tito night was cold and the crossiog clear last flight, and the only explana- tion of the aeeident is that Wilson had his ears muffled against the cold, and did itot hear the signalS of danger. A pathetie feature is the fact that one of the little Wilson children has been a patient iit the hospital hero for weeks, suffering from blood poisonittg.

This expert, who bas hest returned from the Freneh capita!, says Paris is exteemely mystmious in regard to the spring models. Ntunerous small dressmaleers are waitino about the gay eity wondering what die gutherat of fashion has decreed. On everyone's lips is the query, waist or no Waist? They must possess their souls in Inv nonce for a couple of more weeks. The managers of the chief fashion shrines of the west end of London maintain similar reserve.

HOW THE EARTHQUAKE AFFECT- ED THE PEOPLE'S MINDS. None Felt Physical Pain -Forgot Their Own Names, But tho In- stinct of Self -Preservation Was Uppermost Always. 1 THOM HALL, Presimthrtor London, dan. 17. -Prof. Cesare Loin, broso, the alienist, professor of psychrie- try at the -University of Turin, has writte» a long article on the state of the minds of the people during the recent earthquake. He says the recent disaster enables one to sound the very depths of the lain= soul. He quotes one of tiM survivors as saying: "I saw the last jutlgment, the end of the world. I am sure the end of the 'world must come this way. In the pit,eh bleak night saw houses tremble, shake and sub- side, abysses open in the earth, endless shrieks and cries. I thought it was the_ reign of death. I thought that my con sciounees was the consciousness thaf nivrto ff.431Licowmbdr'eolsoith'"continues: "No one though seriously wounded, speaks ai physical suffering. Panic end. terror took possession of their senses and paralyzed all sense of pain.. Men who had an arm broken ran miles without knowiog it, A. woman, whose eye was so badly hurt that it had to be removed declares she felt nothing. With bare' feet and clad only in a shirt the first thOught of th,e survivors was to fly, and they set off without thought of rest. "There was a striking episode of col- ieetive inutism. Three hundred work people were about to enter a factory. They stayed outside and thus were eavetl, but their amazement was so great that when the director of the fac- tory called their names scarcely one answered. Their names had .slipped their recollection:' Some remarkable instances are given in which the instinct of self-preservation showed itself strongly. Women and ebildeen remained for two days sitting en window sills on third and fourth floors with a great drop on either side, and yet they refused to fallaa prey to eleep or fatigue. This reminds Prof. Lombroso of a, remark often made by Alpine elimbers, that the instinct of self-preservation always dominates any tendeucy to dizziness, Prof. Lombroso goes on to show that children resisted terror foul pain better thart adults. This, he says, was due not only to their remarkable power of res4sting suffocation, but also to their unconsciousness of danger and the sensation of fear which must certainly have killed, a majority of those who died after being extricated, GROUNDLESS PEARS. -- Toronto Man, Who Thought He Was Wanted by Police, Surrendered.
