PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Thea False Prophet and the True.
1. Weing. "The falee prophet rises up
by his mu impulse, as did. Timmins and
Judas (vs. 36, 3)'); the true prophet is
raised up by the Lord God" (Acts 3; 22),
The propheeiee of one are "brought to
notzght" (v. 30); the predletione of the
other e,re all minutely
IL flouting. The Wee prophet
bouts to be eemeboely" (v. 30);
the tree prophet givos the honer to God
alone (Acta 3. 121. The true prophet
says, "Not L bete Christ' g; 20),
lb does not boast 61- his holieess„ hut
of Goll's. grace; lie docs net glory in Ida
work, bet in God's work through,hini.
Seffering. The false prophet will
suffer and revenge it; the true prophet
will rejoice "that Ite is .comned worthy
to ouffer shame for his mane" (v. 41).,
The world may "grin and bear" ordineey
Wale; philosophers may be stolealuntler
euffering, but only the Christian on
rejeke under shante. Secretes need to
say, "Philosophere can be happy dvitta
out music" ()Mistimes ean behappier
then philoeophers. They can make per -
motion itself a cause for rejoicing, and
defeat the persecutor with his own wea-
pons (Luke 0: 2?„ 23). M the little
child will play contentedly in the sun-
shine, but run to the arine of the mother
when the storm comes, so perseeution
draws the true disciple nearer the heart
of his Lord. When Madame Guyon was
despised, derided, Minted, persecuted,
imprisoned, exiled, she wrote: "The love
of God occupied my beart so. constantly
and stroagly that it was difficult for me
to think of anything else. So touch was
my soul abeorbed in Cod that my eyes
and ears seemed to elm of themselves
to outer object*, and to leave the soul
to the exelusive.anfluence of the inward
attraction. This immersion in God so
absorbed ell things that it seemed to
place them in a new position relating
to God. vould behold naught out ot
God; I beheld all thinge in Hire." Our
joy on trial may light some one else to
the cross. There are likenesses to
Christ which can never be seen eNeept
in the glow of the 'furnace..
IV. Preaching. The faleo prophet
"thaws Away mueb, people after him";
the true prophet ceases "not to teach
and .preach Jesus Christ" (v. 42). •
"Preaehing is not smartness nor bright.
holiuese nor piety, goodness nor
earnestnes,s, erudition nor culture. It is
the Holy Spirit speaking though human
lips in words that breathe and thoughts
that burn. It cannot be taught; it must
be receivid. 1± eentes not naturally nor
by herei ty; but as it eanie to Jesus
arid -his disciples, so it comes to us
straight from on high, like a dove
(Matt. 3: 16), or a tongue of fire"
(Aets 2: 3). A lady once 'KIM to Joseph
Parker, "What is you hobby?" "Preach-
ing, madam." Of Spurgeon it has been
said: "The great and constant tool with
which he worked was tee glorions gospel
o2. the grace - of God, a tool he had a
rare art of keeping sharp. He never
became .formal, conamonplace nor dull,
but was always fro* and vivid. This
prolificness of view was his genius; his
mind knew no ruts; reportedly he pre-
sented the mile truths, without mono-
tony or repetition."' Christ is the centre
of all scripture. To him the stories of
the aneient patriaeons point (Gen. 2;
24; Eph. 5: 31-33; Gen. 22: 8; 24: 4).
V. Perithing, endearing. The false pro-
phet must parish and his adherents will
be "slain" or "scattered" (v. 36); the
true prophet MOM shine as the stars for-
ever and ever (Dan, 12: 3), marg.) in
the kingdom of the Fether (Matt. 13:
43). A. 0..M.
THE MANIAC.
Perpetrator of Double Murder
Taken to Orangeville.
Shelburne, Out, Feb. 8.-neorge Ernest
Stewart, perpetrator of the awful crime
of yesterday, appeared before Police Ma-
gistrate Rartilerford this morning, but as
,there was no person present to represent
bim, he was remanded to Orangeville Jail
until Thursday next at 1 p. m. The lat-
est word from the scene of the tragedy
is that Mrs. Spanhouse, who was so brute
ally treated and left for dea.d, is worse
this morning, and sinking fast. The pris-
oner was earefillly guarded all night, and
admitted to his guards that he did the
deed, but when asked why he would not
speak. He did not sleep at all during
the night. Chief Thompson and Spacial
Co -astable Brundridge have left with the
prisoner for Orangeville jail. Since ar-
riving in jail here Stewart at times seem-
ed very vicious, and the constables be-
fore leaving teok every precaution and
had hiin seeuned and handcuffed.

OPPOSE THE GRANTS
Western Members Object to Giving
Land to Veterans.
-Ottawa, Feb. 7. -Moat of the western
leathers etre decidedly opposed to the
proposal made by the veterans of '66 and
'70, that Um Government should make
a grant of Federal lands in the Wet to
each of the voteraits of the Fenian
raid. Representatives of the west de -
elan that their lands should not be
disposed of in this wholesale manner, and
they would probably offer strong objec-
tion in the House if the Government
should attempt to meet the suggestion
of the veterens' deputation of Friday

A DISTINGUISHED SUITE.
London, Feb. 0. -The King is on the
eve Of his journey to Berlin, where his
presence in the city which he had not
deigned to visit in twenty-five years is
by some few expected to result in an
obliteration of mutual suspicions and
the restoration of international good
fooling.
A large and distineuished suite,
which aeompany 't.he King, and
which includes the Earl of Crowe,
Secretary of State for the Colonies,
as Minister in Attendance, and Sir
Charles Hardinge, representing the
Foreign Office, emphasizes the im-
portance attached to the visit, but
then behind the scenes hardly antici-
pate that the present effort to ease the
relations between Great Britain and
Germany will be attended by much
Mare striking success than Met which
followed the Emperor's visit to the Brit-
ish Court last year. •

METALLIC ROOFING.
The Long Fight With the lidliOliNow
Amicably Settled. .
Toronto, Ont., Feb, 8. -The long fight
between the Metallic Roofing Co. and
the Toronto Union of Sheet Metal Work-
ers is at an end, au amicable settlement
having been arrived at by the parties.
The details are not known, but one im-
portant article of bile settlement is the
removed of the product of the roofing
company loin the unfair list of the
eheet metal workers. Following the
etrike of its sheet metal workers some
time ago the roofingcompany obtained
an thjunetion restraining the Union from
boycotting the product of its factories,
and subsequently in. a suit Against the
Union for damages got a verdict for $7,-
000.
This aroused labor men all over the
Dominion and in response to an appeal
from the Tradesdand Labor Congress of
Canada for funds to fight the deaision,
money was liberally donated. The case
was carried first to the divisional court,
and then to the Court of Appeal, both
courts sustaining the judgment, but the
Priey Council, on the case beiug laid
before it, ordered. a new trial. The adop-
tion of conciliatory methods, however,
has made this unnecessary.

Fislikill Landing, N, Y., Feb. 7. -
While sledding oa the ice on the Hud-
