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

TORONTO MARKETS,
LIVE STOOK.,
The railway e reported 120 cars of live
stock, consisting of 1,748 cattle, 2,179
hogs, 601 sheep and lambs, 281 calves
and. 1 horse.
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. Export
bulls, $4,50 to $0.10 per cwt.
Butchers -The best butchers sold ,from
$5 to $5.25. 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.
Sheep and Lambs -Export ewes sola.
at $3.50 to $4 per cwt.; rams, $2.50 .eb'
$3; lambs sold at $6 to $7.80 per cwt.
Hogs -H. P. Kennedy reports selects,
fed and watered, at $8.25 per cwt., and
$8, 1. o. b. cars at country points. Mr.
Kennedy paid $8.50 per cwt., off cars, at

PR.4.0TICAL _APPLICATIONS.
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);

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

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.
Vancouver and Victoria reports say
there continues a good tone to general
trade all along the coast.
Quebec: The trade situation remains
unchanged. Orders to hand are more of
it sorting up nature,
Hamilton: Business at retail in sum-
mer lines of dry goods, clothing, etc.,
continues good, and sorting orders are
coming in notwithstanding the lateness
of the Season. In other lines of goods
trade is fairly good and few complaints
are heard on the matter of collections.
Local factories are busily engaged. In
one or two instances manufacturers have
been unable to close down for a fort-
night as they usually do, owing to the
rush of business. Crop reports from the
surrounding country continue very cheer-
ful, and the outlook for fall trade is
gc.o&.
London: The volume of trade moving
is of excellent proportions.
Ottawa: Conditions lia,ve (banged but
little during the week.
RECORD HARVEST.
Reports received yesterday from the
Northwest by the Massey -Harris Com-
pany, Toronto, are quite as optimistic
as any received during the summer, and
tend to prove that this year's harvest
will be a record. breaker. The report,
which dealt chiefly with conditions in
Assiniboia, was to the effect that rain
in satisfactory quantities has visited the
wheat fields and that the best of weath-
er prevailed. It is stated that all the
wheat would probably be headed. out by
the 18th.
TO INCREASE BIRTHS
A Plan in France to Give Bonuses
For Children.
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. There
are not lacking those who affirm that

Guelph, July 18. -In hie, cell in the
county jail here, William Smith, the
alleged harness thief, who was arrested
bt Toronto, amid who is charged in all
with twenty-three thefts, made a signed
statement of his operations covering
many of the thefts with which Ire is
charged. It was made at considerable
length to High Constable Medeweather.
Smith, who is a Scoteliman, states that
Ire worked, for years with farmers in
the vicinity of Milton, and also in
Guelph for a time before going to To,
route. There he get into the .harness
business, buying anal selling, and. fell
in with a lot of people who went about
"three sheets in the wind," and talked
of getting harness on moonlight nights
without paying for it.
"But," said Smith, "I went out solely
on my own hook in the latter part of
March. The first place I went to was
Brampton. where I stole a set of double
harness and a set of silver -mounted
single harness, The next harness I stole
was in Lambton, silver -mounted coach
harness, The next trip was back therm,
and I got a set of brass -mounted single
harness with wooden lames and brass
tops. I guess I went to Brampton again
next and stole a set of single nickel-
pleted harness, My next trip was to
afolton, where I got a set of single,
mounted harness. It was the only one
stolen there, and the authorities ought
to be able to find the owner. It was
some distance from the station, From
Melton I thiak I went to Grimsby. I
got a set of silver coach harness and a
complete set of double harness‘, medium
weight. After that I went to Clarkson
and got a set of single harness. Erin -
dale comes next. There I 'got /a set of
silver -mounted and a set of rubber -
mounted single harness, a single brass -
mounted set, with brass homes, which
are in Toronto now, and A set of double
harness, heavy and nickel -plated, com-
plete. These are all in Toronto. Then
comes Grimsby again, two more sets,
which are in Toronto, then two more
sets at Brampton, one from Mr. Mc-
Clure. Another set was taken at Wes-
ton, and at Guelph I took three single
sets and one double set."

Atlanta, Ga., July 18. -While on his
deathbed and in a stupor O. B.
Walker, a business man of Atlanta,
was revived by the presence of a
negro burglar in his room. Walker
immediately seized a pistol, which
was on a table near the bed, fired
three shots, at the negro, who fled,
and then relapsed into a death stupor.
The physicians had announced there
was no hope for Walker's recovery
and had retired. In the room with
the sick man were a trained nurse
and his wife. About 2 o'clock- this
morning Mrs. Walker and the nurse,
Who had dozed off, were roused by
pistol shots and saw Walker upright
in, bed firing at a negro, who was es-

As Walker fired the last shot the
negro screamed and the sick man
dropped the pistol and fell back on
the bed into a death stupor from
which he did not rally. Physicians
consider the case remarkable, because

DEFIANCE BY LORDS.
Budget Will be Treated as an
Ordinary Measure.
London, July 18.-A statement made by
Lord Lansdown in a political speech 'naked
It apparent that the Unionist Lords Intend to
disregard 'precedent and treat the budget
when it reaches them from them from the
House of Commons as they would any other
measure. Heretofore the House of Lords has
nbt interfered with the financial measures
of tin Government of the day, the impbsltion
of new taxes and expenditure being consid-
ered entirely in the hands of the House of
Commons.
Lord Lansdowne said that it was not like-
ly that the House 0 Lords would proclaim
that it had no responsibility in the Budget
Bill or that it was obliged to swalloW the
bill whole, because it mixed up financial af-
fairs. He contended that it ems unthinkable
that in a country where there were two
chambers It should be left absolutely to ono
of them to impose a new financial system.
The members of the Government recently
threatened that if the House of Lords inter-
fered with the budget they would appeal to
the country on the question of reform, If not
the abolition of that House.
