PRACTICAL APPLICA.TIONS.
T. The ascension Va a fitting close of
Christ's earthly careen The proof of his
divine nature was thus eempleted and
hie continued exietenee established, "Ite
was received up into heaven and eat
an the right hand of. God" ?Mak 10:
ID). It was better for the elmith thee
h.e go away and that the /rely Spirit be
sent. ' We are new taught to walk by
faith and trot by sight. The escenelon
gives new hope to life.
The Spirit was promised positively
and empltatieally (Joe! 2: 28, 20). The
wafting eiturch was expeeting the fulfil-
med. "The oecoution, the day of Petite -
rest, was eigttifioant. This was the an-
nivereater of the giving of the law on
Monet Sinai, at whieh tittle the Jewish
(+smelt was instituted. Nothing (YAM
he. More fitting than that the new law,
whieh was to be proclaimed to all
natione, ehould be revealed on thio day,
and that the Chriethm chttreh, which
eves to eupereede the Jewish, should on
ace day be inetitetted."
ITT. The Ideal oltureh s shown ns. "rt

Lolls were thc saved. This simple and

1r. The healing of the lame Mall was
proof of the power end love of (led.
The mon asked alms and teeeived heal-
ing. "So God tleale with Ms ehildren,
measuring out to them free pardon, en
tire °lemming and finally an abundant
entrance into tine heavenly Idngdom."
V. The opposition to the apostlee had
its foundation in the hatred of truth
on the part of the people. Ito who Is
the Truth said, "Ye shall be hated of all
wen for my name's sake" (Matt. 10, 22)•
"Goa is able to make the wrath of man
to praise Hine lie can bring to nought
the plans of Satan, and. Ito eAll harness
111;3 designs egalast etite seinte,"
VI. Ananias and Sapphire disobeyed
the command, "Ye shell not...deal false.
ly, netther lie one to nnother" (Lev. 19,
11). Truly, the face of the. Lora is
tigainst them that do evil" (1. Pot, 3, le).
The Spirit of Christ is a spirit of truth"
Ms salvation saves 114 from eeeeitful
heait and lerhig tongues.
VII. The apostles were fearless when
uncler persecution. Faithful preaching 01
the Gospel often provokes opposition
and persecution. rhe Itistory of the
church proves thee The enemy of ail
righteousness is still doing all he can to
destroy the kingdom of .Christ. God will
be "a wall of are refund about, and will
be the glory in the Midst" of his church.
IrrIr. Stephen was full of Well and
the Holy Spirit, He had love and power,
'He felt his obligation to Christ so greet,
that he seemingly was consumed with
the all-ebserbing desire and purpose to
glorify Him. Ile was ready for every
good worel and work. We do not wonder
that he was supported and was -victor-
ious in the hour of trial."
IX. The truth was spread because of
• the persecution, ',Through' the country
of Judea and Samaria the scattered, oues
went, leavingin every village, house and
heart, stirring memories and new
thoughste."
X. Philip met with success because he
promptly obeyed the Spirit's call. "The
king's business requireth 'testa" (I. Sane
21, 8). "Many asoul has gone out into
the dark beeaatso the one commissioned
to go did not respond at once."
Xr. Many believed in the Lord (T. 43)..
The miracles of Christ tied His aposelee
ettrected universal attention. Many
took their stand for Christ,

mous judgment, through the latter,

ment of a Royal Commission, with full
powers to investigate the entire civic
administration of the city. The judg-
ment further states that specifichharges

FRANCE'S DEFICIT.
It Has Already Caused Disruption
in the Cabinet.
Paris, March 15.- France is con-
fronted with a big deficit in her re-
venues. The situation in this country
is rendered the more serious by the
large number of pending socialistic
projette ineolving heavy drafts on the
treasury. The budget, of 1900 neces-
sitated the issue of $12,900,000 in trea-
sury bonds, while the regular estimates
for 1910 show a deficit of $45,600,000,
and this without taking into considera-
tion the proposed workmen's old ago and
State railroad employees pension pl'OPO-
sals which together involve a sum of
$37,809,000 more.
This situation complicates the pro-
posal to revise • the Fresich tariff, and
it already has precipitated a quarrel
between M. Cailloux, Minister of Fin-
ance, and M. Picard, Minister of Marine,
over the insistence of the -latter on large
credits to restore the efficiency of the
navy.
Scandalous corruption in the matter
of naval metracte revealed lately by
M. Picard has started the country,
and the Minister of Marine has prac-
tically refused to eontinue in office un-
less Ito is granted suffie:ent funds to
put the navy in first-class order. It
has been 'entered that a regular mono-
poly existed among the navy contrac-
tors, who chargea exorbitant prices and
made enormous profits.
Premier Clemenceau supports M. Pi.
eard in his attitude, and. M. cailleux's
position is regarded as no longer tense
ble. It; is thought thee he will tender
his resignation at to -morrow's meeting

GRAND RIVER.
A. Series of Storage Rinervoirs is
Suggested to Stop Flow.
Meeting of Galt Board or Trade
Held With Outside Delegates.
f••••11..•••
A Gide One, despatch: There was an
i important meeting of the Board of
rrtuie tonight in the emelt chamber,
at which the matter of the oneervation
of the watere of the River Grand was
dieettesed at ROM length. Delegates
from Proton, Botha and Galt were
present.
Mr. L. Breithatip, of Berlin. gave
las views on tlie subject, wenen onefly
were as follows: Regulation of river flow
by means of large storage reSerVeirS is
a method that hes been extensively and
• suceessfully adopted in older countries,
in the United States, and even to seine
extent in Canada, This method appears
to be comparatively easily prectleable
on the Grand River. The result would
be that destructive floods would n0.
more occur, and that it steady and very
mueh increased flow would extend
throughout the low water months of the
year,
Of the total (treillage area of the
river, approximately one.half is above
Galt, including the Speed and the Con-
estoga areas. The storage and husband-
ing of .the precipitetion rainfall ane,
snowfall of even one-half of the drain-
age area, above Galt would accomplish
the purpose in view and this means that
storage basins, with the full required ef-
fect for regulation, could be located well
U p the river and at those plates where
there appear to be the most promisitig
sites for suck work, Reservoirs would
/30 .preferably few in number and of
large extent. It is probable that the
Speed and the Conestoga Valleys would
also afford desirable reservoir sites,
The work of investigation to deter-
mine how the entire problem could most '
efficiently be •treeted should preferably
be entrusted toa continuieg commis-
sion. Thore would be questions of land
valuations, prevention of stream penis -
tient and of many other questions, in-
cluding gain in water power already es-
tablished in Celt, Paris, Brantford,
Dunnville, gain of new- water powers,
saving in the prevention of floods, sa,ni-
tatson, water supply and waste removal,
and it gain in having a gooa flow
throughout the summer months.
The following resolution, proposed by
C. R. ermine, Preston, and secondeid,
by Hugh Cane, Galt, was passed unan
mously: "That this meeting of delegates
from the Boards oL Trade of Presto%
Berlin and Galt, respectfully urge on
the Government the appointment of a
commission on Grand River conierva-
Lion, along the lines seggested by the
Brantford Board of Trade."
WANTED FOR THEFT
GAGNON, THE BOGUS CONFES-
SION MAN, HAS LEFT OTTAWA.
He is Charged With Stealing a Suit
Case, and is Suspected of Snatch-
• ing it Roll of Bills From a Lady
in the Postoffice.
Ottawa, Marek 15.- One of the
strangest cases ever called to blue at-
tention ef the local police is at pre-
sent under investigation. A warrant
was issued yesterday for the arrest of
R E. Gagnon, the mysterious stran-
ger, who on Tuesda.y of his week called
on Mr. Alexander Smith, barrister,
with alleged proofs of the innocence
of William. Carey, an ex -member of the
Royal Rifle Brigade, now serving
it fourteen -year sentence in Dart-
moor Prison, England. Gagnon's
story was a rery plausible one, Brief-
ly, it wee to the effect that it man
itainee. Baxter, dying in St. Michael's
Hospital, Toronto, had made it de•
claration to Rev. Father McCann and
Archbishop Manly, in which • he
(Baxter) confessed to committing the
crime for which Carey was suffering the
penalty.
• Gagnon came to Ottawa at the re-
quest of -Carey's people, who, he stated,
resided. in Toronto, and with whom he
was intimate on account of being a close
soldier friend of the man now in prison.
Gagnon's mission was to see the Minis-
ter of Justice with the proofs of Carey's
innocence, and he sought Mr. Smith in
this connection. Mr, Smith promised to
look into the matter, and made en en-
gagement; with Gagnon, which the letter
never kept.
Gagnon registered at the Russell
Hqtel on Tuesday at noon, and disap-
peared at night without paying his
aill. That same night it snit ease be-
longing to Senator Douglas was miss-.
ed. Many of the articles it contained
were last evening recovered in pawn
shops, where they had been disposed
of by a man answering the description
of Gagnon. On Tuesday, inunediately
after teeing Mr. Smith, Gagnon sent
a message to "Mrs. Carey, 43 Hogarth
avenue, -frorotto," telling her of the
progress of the case oh behalf of her
imprisoned son. „He did this, he sited,
to soothe the poor, sick inother of the
convict, who had for the last six
years been praying for her SO'S release.
On Tuesday evening the Toronto tete-
graph people wired Ottawa to the effect
that there was Ito such masher on the
street mentioned.
Yesterday lefternoon as a yoteng wce
men was counting scene money in the
postoffite it mao resembling in every
way the mysterions Mr. Gagnon snatch-
ed the roll of bills and. fled, •
The mystery is somewhat further
deepenea by the information supplied
thn police that on Gagnon's left wrist
the eame "Carev" is tattooed in indeli-
ble ink. Why Om num told such -a, wild
story to Afr, Smith, iyho he is, or Whenee
he came, form a problem that the local
pollee are now tryleg to solve.
