Paul at Athens.' -Act, 17 16-34; (hag 17: 2244, Commentary. -L Paul stirred because of the idolatry of Athens (vs. 10-21). Paul is in the famous city of Athens, the capital of the intellectual World, as Rome was of the political, and Jerusa- lem of the religious. While the apostle waited for the coining of Silas and. Tim- othy, he employed his time speaking in the synagogues to the Jews, and. M the market places to those whom he snet. The leaders in philosophy and religion became interested and hed, conversations with him about his reigion, The Epi- eureaus entirey denied a providence, and hed that the word was the effect of mere thence, asserting that the soul and body died together. The Stoics held that matter wrs eternal; that all things were governed by fate; that virtue was its (ran reward, and vice its own punish- ment. After discussing with these phil- osophers for a time, they requested Paul to leave the curious and thronging Crowds of the market, and addrese them front the platform on the summit of the hill, called Areopagus," or Mars' hill, where were assembled the noblest 'of Athens, the first politicians, the first orators the first philosophers, IL Paul's address on Mars' Hill (vs. 22-31). Note three principal divisions to the sermon; 1. The relation of God to the world. (1) As Creator. (2) As Lord of heaven and earth. (3) As fillling im- mensity with his presence. (4) As self- sufficient. (5) As the source of life and blessing. 2. The dignity and destiny ofe, man. 3. The doctrine of Christ and hie salvation. The third division of the diseourse was not finished. 22. Paul stood -Paul spoke in the open air. Mars' hill -"The .Areopagus."-R. V. This hill was to the west of the Acropolis, and was the meeting place of the Athenian Council. To this hill of Mars the phil- osophers led St. Paul, that he might more conveniently address a larger audi- ence. Cam. Bib. Ye men of Athhns- He was addressing men of high intellec- tual powers. Their city was the most renowned in the world for literature, art and philosoahy. It had a world-wide reputation for military talent, learning, eloquence and culture, but was wholly given to idolatry. Altars, shrines, sta- tues awl images of every shape an size crowded the streets, temples, squares and. groves. The speech. as here given must be only a brief outline of Paul's address. He no doubt spoke at some length, hut •A'hat we have would not require three minutes in its delivery. I perceive -Paul had observed the ha - portant features of the city. Too super- stitious -The expression used by the apostle was complimentary. Ye are "very religious." 23. Your devotions -See R. V. The apestle had beheld their altars and works of art consecrated to religion. To an unknown god (R. V.) -That no diety Might punish them for neglectinebhis worship, or remain uninvoked in asking for blessings, they net only erected altars to all the gods named or known among them, but, distrustful still lest they might not comprehend fully the extent of their subjection and depend- ence, they erected them also to any other god or power that might exist; although as yet manevealed to them. - Hackett. "The human heart yearns for the living God, with whom it may cons - Mune. God is an unknown God to those who live for the world and Re -lusts; who refuse to find him in Christ." Ignorantly worship -See R. V. The apostle does not intend to say that their worship was of an ignorant character, but that they offered it in ignorance. His declare 1 -"It was death for any private person to disturb the xegilion of the state by the introduction of any foreign god that,had not been publicly recognized. But how admirably does 'Paul avail himself of the inscription on 'the altar: lahho could accuse him of introducing anything new, when he only expounded to the Athenians the attri- butes of the God whom they had ignor- antly dorshipned?"-Lewin. 24. -God that made -While the apo- stle respected the rank and position of his hearers, yet he preached the truth .and did not hesitate to oppose their er- roneous opinions. 1. There were not many gods, but one God. 2. The world did not come into existence by chance. 3. rate di.d not control the affairs of life. Dwelleth not, eto.-In this Paul strongly opposed their idolatrous belief and practises. 25. As though he needed - The heathen brought food and drink and costly gifts to their idols. Paul con - rests their deities with God who is in - desponded of his creatures and needs nothing. He giveth-Ho is the source of life and all things necessary to sustain life, therefore he cannot be dependent on that 'life which he has created. 26. One blood -"God has made of one ancestor, or one source, or one family, all nations This lay e upon us the duty to help all men and to treat all men ustly and lovingly, even the lowest races of men." Greeks held that the "first men had sprung up in Attica like rad- ishes;" that, like flowers and trees, ev- ery nation 'was the product of its own eon, and that they were the aristocracy, all others being barbarians.-hleander. We ehould remember that "the whole human family, however different in com- plexion, customs and language, are brethren." Bath determieed-God is the governor of the world as well as its creator. 27. Should seek the Lord -God's one purpose in all His dealings with Us is to bring us to a knowledge of the one true God. Not far -God is not fa rs but out iniquities separate us front Him (Ise. 59. 2; Rem. 10. 6-10). He comes his Son, in the gift of end aka shrdlu near in Ilis Word, in Ilie prelatic:twee, fit His Son, in the gift of His Spirit. Ile is near to coweiet of sin to deliver from alit, and to care for those who pub their ttust in hint. 28, In Him we live etc. He is the source of our existence and we near in his word, fit his, provideneem in are dependent on him for all We have.

There were fewer stall -fed %%We on the market than at any time this season, and outside of these the quality of offer- ings was far from being good. Trade was good for the stall -fed, but slow for the rest at easier quotatious,ns will be seen by the tales given. The slumber of odes reported at $5 and over are small compared with those under that figure. Tile prices might be considered, good, when the quality is taken into considera- tion, but there is no getting away from the fact that prices are coming down, being fully 25 per cent, lower than at the beginning of the week, And this is not all; the cattle were not all sold, the market closing the dullest of the season, too many cattle having been marketed this week, Where are the prophets, who told us that there was going to be a scarcity? • Exporters -Few were offered and hew wanted to -day, a few of lightweights sold. from $5.25 to $0.50, one load of 22 cattle, 1,230 The. each, being sold by Maybe & Wilson at that price.

George Rowntree, who bought 200 cattle for the Harris Abattoir Co., quotes butchers at $4 to $5.20; cows at $3 to $4.60 per cwt. - Feeders and Stockers -Common, al- though not many offered, are hard to cash It looks as though good quality feeders and stockers are not going to be very cheap. Mr. Murby bought 250 cattle during the week as following quo- tations: Steers, 000 to 1,000 lbs. each, at $4 to $4.25; steers, 800 to 900 lbs. each, it $3.50 to $4; fair to good stockers $3 to $3.50; common stockers, $2.50 to $3.75, - Milkers and Springers- Trade for milkers and springeet Is dull, and outside of the top notchers they are hard to cash. Common light cows are not wanted at present. Prices ranged from $25 to $50 each, with few reaching the latter price. Veal Calves- Receipts fair, prices eteady at $3 to $6 per cwt.

The True God. I. The Creator. "God that made the world" (v. 24). 'Paul began with God (Gen. 1, 1), The fact of creation is a vital principle of true religion. The apes. tle could not preach Jesus, the Sou and Redeemer, until he had shown thesis God, the Chador and Father. The Old Testa- ment doctrine of creation is the found:e- llen of the New Testament doctrine of redemption. Science and religion •ate friends. God's messages in the were old in the world always agree. Our reasoning from facts 'agrees with Chalts own message, "God created the heaven and the earth." The inference and the information are one. "What is that, Lather?" asked a boy. "A footprint, my son; e sign that some one 'Caine into our garden lest night," "It must be, for there could not be a footprint only as somebody had been here to make it." "'That is true, Benjamin; now, show me come of the footprints of the Creator." "I don't understand, father." "Who made the beautiful horrors; the splendid trees; the clouds in the sky; the great, round earth; anal the mighty sun in the heavens?" "God.. eo be sure!" "Then all these things are but footprints of the Creator; the sign that thpre is a area - tor, and He has been here. S2e, this ice - plaint man could never 'have made; sea the glistening glass; hear the chirping birds; man did not make them. God made them; and they are all footprints of the gerat Creator, to prove to us that there is a good and great Goa, erhom we should love and worship." " The Sovereign. "God snade all" (v. 24). He is Lord of heaven and earth and cannot be confined, "in temples made with hands" of man. God giveth "all" (v. 25). He cannot be "served with men's hands, as though He needed any- thing." God. oomurandeh (v, 30), Ile "hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world! God bath given assurance unto "all" (v. 31). The resurrectiOn of Christ is the guarantee of mercy to the riahteous and, judgment to the wicked. "Of Him, and through Him, anal to him are all things." , III. The Desnefactor. "He that giveth to all life, and breath" (v. 25). God is net only great, He is good. He is a bountiful benefactor. God made "all things" (v.. 24: John 1, 3; Heb, 3, 4). God giveth "all things" (v. 25; I. Tim. 0, 7; I. Pet. 1, 4). The first "all things" speaks of His bounty ((len. 9, 3); thea last, of Hie ability (Rev. 21, 5); and between these are about two hundred, which tell us of pardon (Acts 13, 39); 1 power (Phil. 4, 13; II, Cor. 9, 8; I.

The boy wept bitterly, in sympathy with his parents, and at first declined to leave his mother. Finally, their Ma- jesties being informed that it was the people's will, and that there was no al - tentative, were persuaded to agree TO the departure or the youthful Shah.

The ex -Shah accepts his strange posi- tion with Oriental philosophy, and shows no lack of personal dignity. He expresses a desire to live in Crimea. There is some obscurity, says the Times' correspondent, about the reasons that induced Mohammed All to aban- don the struggle, but the final result is highly honorable to both sides. Much credit is due the Russian and. British representatives for their firmness in re- sisting pressure to call in the Russian troops.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVEEW Montreal: General trade holds a steady tone, although there is at notice- able tendency la some lines towards the usual mid -summer lull. Prospects for the fall continue good. Rain during the week has much brightened the erop mita look, although it was rather late for the hay. Produce is coming forward well and prices hold steady to firm. Gelpral collections show some improvement. Toronto: General business is moving satidadoilly. Holidays are responsible for seine slackening, but there is still A good sorting trade in most seasonable lines. The outlook for fill business looks very cheerful. Good rains Imes considerably helped the grain crops ;mil reports front Ontario and particularly the West are optimistic. In dry goods there Aro good orders coming for fall and He Started Operations in Toronto and Then Visited Brampton, Lambton, Melton, Grimsby, Olarkson, and. Erindale, winter lines. In many cases orders arc fairly huge, as retailers are anxious to forestall further price advanees. In most other lines retailers seem inclined to lay in fairly good stocks in prepara- tion for an active fall trade. Winnipeg reports say a, good volume of business is moving in all branches of trade. Crop reports eontinu.e to grow more cheerful, and the general tone re- garding fall prospects is one of pro- nounced optimism.

Paris, July 18. -The grave problem presented by a declining birth rate is again distressing France, which is particularly engaged at this moment in weighing the merits claimed. for a plait proposed by Prof. Charles Richet of the Academy ot Medicine, and. M. Leroy -Beaulieu. The scheme pro- poses a system for bonuses for child- ren, the bonus growing as the num- ber of children na one family grows; that is, while the parents get nothing in consideration of the first ehild, they get $100 for the second, $200 for the third, and so on. Professor Richert believes that lartas 'will be increased. annually. by 750,000 to 1,000,000, at a cost to the State of $6,000,000 annually. This ex- penditure is to be Met by death duties. They plan laying a tax of 60 per cent. on all collateral bequests and cost- lier:de half the estate in case there is only one child. M, Leroy -Beaulieu fur- ther would reduce the salaries of minter - tied employees of the State as well as those with only one child, or with none five years after marriage. Naturally the proposition has aroused warm opposition. 'It is asked whether the elass which would be reached by such an offer is one worthy to be the parents of future geenrations.
