mon had been; ten of the twelve tribes

king.
I. Topic • jeroboam'e effort to estab.
bah himself' in his kingdom. Place ; Tnie
northern part of Palestine. As soon as
Jeroboam was declared king of the ten
tribes, he took measures to establish
himself in his kingdom; there were bright
prospecte before him; he enlarged and
fortified several cities; he then took
steps to keep his people from going to
Jerusalem to worship fearing that if
they did, their Marna would, become at-
tached to Behoboani, and that they then
would kill him; he made two calves of
gold and set one up M Bethel, and the
other in an, urging. the people th wor-
ship in these cities nastead of going to
Jerusalem, This became a sin for the
people soon fell into idolatry.
M. Tonic ; Judah's prosperity and
victory. Place : Judah, Asa's kingdom.
After the death of Rehoboarn, Abijalt,
bis son, reigned in his stead; his reign
was short,, and at his death, Asa, his son
reigned, in Judah forty-one years; Asa
was a good king and did what was right
in the eight of the Lord; lie removed the
altars of the strange gods whieh had
been set up in the kingdom and broke
down the images Which had been erect-
ed to idols; he commanded his people to
seek the Lord and to obey his law; he
fortified the cities in Judah; the land
had red front war for many years; Asa
rabied an army to meet the Ethiopians,

hosaphat, his son, reigned in his stead.
for twenty-five years. Jehosaphat was
a good king and trusted. God; he thor-
oughly cleansed the land from idolatry,
but he committed a great error in join-
ing himself to .Ahab; he went with Ahab
to fight against Ben-hadad, king of Sy-
ria; the prophet of tha Lord warned him
not to go, but he did, and .Ahab was
slain. Then Jehu, the prophet, reproved
Jehoimphat for helping the imgodly and
for loving those who hated the Lord;
after this Jehosaphat appointed judges
in the land and did what he could to re-
form the people and atone for the course
he had pursued.
V. Topic: The idolatry of Israel's
kings. Place: Omri and Ahab reign-
ed over the ten tribes. Omri and Attab
were both very wicked kings; they led
the people into the worship of idols- and
fully established Baal worship in the
land; the prophets of God were slain and
his worship forbidden; Omri founded the
city of Samaria and made it his capital;
at his death. Ahab, his son, reigned in his
stead; Ahab was worse than any of the
kings that had pr'eceded, for he married
Jezebel, a heathen woman; he built a
house in honor of 13ital in Samaria and
set up images to the heathen god; the
judgments of the Lord fell upon Almb,
and he was slain in battle.
VI. Topic: Elijah's obedience and
faith. l'Iftee: Samaria Brook Cherith,
and Zarephath. ElijaCthe prophet ap-
peared to Ahab and told him that there
would, be a great drought and famine in
the land, which would continue three
years; the Lord sent Elijah to the brook
Cherith; the ravens fed him there. the
brook dried up; Elijah was sent to there;
a widow woman was commanded
to feed Elijah; he asked her for a little
water; told her to bring him a morsel
of bread; she said she had but little;
Jiilijah encouraged her and asked her to
bring him a cake first; he said they
would all be supplied.
VII- Topic: Elijah meets Obadiah and
Ahab. Place: Somewhere in .A.hab's
kingdom. The famine had lasted three
years and six months; the supplies were
exhausted; the Lord told Elijah to show
himself to .Ahab; Obedifth and Ahab
were seeking grass; suddenly Elijah ap-
peared to Obadiah and asked him to tell
Ahab that .Elijah wi.ts there• Obadiah
feared and said that if he should tell
Ahab that Elijah was here and then the
prophet did not appear to Ahab, he would
be slain; Elijah said that he would cer-
tainly appear to Ahab; Elijala asked
Ahab to gather all Israel and the pro-
phets of Baal upon Mount Carmel.
VIII. Topic: Elijah convincing Israel
that Jehova, is the true god. Place: Mt.
Carmel and Jezreel. A test was pro-
posed by Paijah in order to prove that
he was the true God; Baal's prophets
prepared their sacrifice and called upon
thdr god to send fire; no answer; _Elijah
prepared his ofiering; dug a trench; cov-
ered the offering and the altar and filled
the -trench with water; Elijah then celled
Upon God and. fire fell from heaven; the
eacrifice and the wood and the stone
were consumed, and the water in the
trench was licked up; the people said,
" Jehovah is God." The 460 prophets
of Baal were slain.
IX. Topic: Elijah% flight. Places: Jez-
reel, lleer-sbeba, and Horeb. Ahab told
Jezebel all Elijah had done; jezebel sent
a messenger warning Elijah that he
would be killed; Elijah fled for his life;
dismissed his servant; went a day's jour
nay into the wilderness; sent angels to
care for him.
X. Topic l God's manner of dealing
*with Elijah, Place: Horeb, the mount of
" God. Elijah was at Horeb or Sitiai, hid
in a eave. God milted Elijah -why he was
there; Elijah told the Lord how zealous
he had been, and how they had sought
his life; God caueed a great wind to rend
the monetain and break the reeks, and
after the wind an earthquake, and after
the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was
not revealing Himself in these; follow-
ing these manifestations, the Lord spoke
In a. small voice.

Elisha. 'Inmost: Cs'ilgal, Bethel, Jerielio,
and the place where Elijah was trees -

mental command and es a political stra-
tagem introdueed idolatry, thereby tun
complishing the extermination of lus
own household, and started his people
at the very threshold of their history on
the etee p decline toward national de-
gradation and ruin. The histery of the
past teaches that any nation departing
from true 'worship and obedience .to di-
vine commend% invites dieorder and des-
truction. France abandozien God, defied
reason and. beauty and. wept repentant
tears of blood in the bitter strife of the
revolution. America temporized with
human slavery and five sanguinary years
wrought out the purification and punish-
ment. She bows to -day before the legal-
ized liquor traffie and is reaping the sad
harvest of correption and crime, and in-
creasing connisioe sweeps from ocean to
ocean, while darner clouds hang on the
horizon.
Lessons three and four represent it
brief but consecutive period in the event-
ful history of the original ancl preserved
kingdom of Judah. The subject consider -
en seems to be rulers Mid -reforms. Solo-
mon declared that "when the righteous
are in authority the people rejoice; but
when the wicked bear rule the people
mourn." Asa and, Johoshaphat were both
reformers, though diverse spheres en-
listed and occupied their activities. Re-
boboam. line his rival sovereign, early
forgot his obligation to the Supreme Au-
thority, on which depends the stability
of all thrones, Chastisement followed, but
utter destruction was averted by a timely
humiliation and "some deliverence" was
granted though the independence pf the
kingdom was temporarily lot. 'When nis
grandson Asa ascended the throne a
reign of righteousness 'was instituted.His
first care was the removal of the oc-
casions and evidenees of idolatry. Im-
ages were broken, their altars were des-
troyed, the groves cut down and, the peo-
ple commanded to "seek the Lord Gecl of
their fathers, and to do the law and the
commandments."
itt Iessons six to ten we turn from
truths of public to those of personal im-
port, disclosed in a life closely inter-
woven with civil affairs. The character
of Israel's prophet, austere, unbending,
and unblemished, and hiding a great
wealth fo tender sympathy, towers in
majestic solitude above the corruptions
of the times like the glittering snow -
crowned summit of some lofty moun-
tain above the mists( of the shadowed
'valleys below. God always has such who
stand as human landmarks in eras of
general decline in church or state. Their
stern rebukes are the clarion call of
duty -with a ringing eeho of doom if dis-
regarded. Fearless and. faithful such men
become the storm centres of progress.
A peerless procession of such characters
move down the ages as God's advance
guards, the leaders of reform and her-
alds of progress. The perennial truths of
this magnificient life aro many and var-

A MATRIMONIAL AGENCY.
London Concern Offered to Supply Wives
to Colonials.
London, Sept. le.. -London Truth has
been making investigations respecting an
advertisement addressed to bachelors,
which appeared in certain colonial
papers. Truth says the advertisers
called themselves Lloyd and Duncan,
Anglo-American agents, 91 St. Mary's
road, Leyton. On inquiry at the ad-
dress a Truth representative found the
house had been empty for some weeks.
The advertisers propised to supply men
in the colonies with suitable partners
from the thousanls of good intelligent
girls around Leyton. Any colonial with
a fancy for one of these damsels was
asked to remit five dollars.
Truth fears the only result of the en-
terprise has been that a number of dol-
lars have been transferred from the other
side of the Atlantic to this, and that the
number of bachelors on one side and
epinsters on the other remains unaltered.
Truth wonders that the possibility of
this result did not occur to any of
the colonial papers which published the
advertisement., Truth has received sev-
eral inquiries from Canada regarding
the adverLise_ineft_.
HALIFAX RAVAGED BY FIRE.
Nearly" a Score of Buildings Reauced to
Ashes --Loss, $250,000.
Halifax, N. S., report: With a gale
sweeping over the city at a rate of 62
miles an hour aa registered by the Citadel
windometer, a fire broke out this afternoon
in a building in the middle of the block on
Water street, bounded by Sackville and
Prince streets. The gale was from the south-
west, and was so severe that it was hard
for pedestrians to keep their feet. Under
arch circumstances the flaring spread north
and south With frightful rapidity, and in an
hour after the alarm VfaS sounded, a score
of buildings were ablaze, many of theni be-
ing reduced to ashes.
Good fortune, however, once more came to
the rescue of Halifax, and two hours after
the outbreak of the conflagration the wind
died down, and being from the southwest,
carried the names away from the city dad
towards the harbor trent. /sad It been from
the eastward, the destrnetion must have been

Ag it is, the loss will arnotint to $260,000,
two-thirds of which is covered by insurance,

Bradstreet's on Trade.
The sorting trade at Montreal in gen-
eral staple goods during the past week
has been more active. Shipments of
goods to the west are being rushed for-
ward in considerable volume to take ad-
vantage of the water freights. Clear
reports from the Northwest are now
more encouraging, and prospects for
business generally are considered bright.
At Toronto the activity which has
enaracterized trade during the Exhibition
has been well maintained. Travellers are
out on their routes now and are sending
in numerous well -distributed orders. This
week the Cananian cotton mills issued
their price list for the ensuing scaSon for
cottons and colored goods, showing re-
ductions from that of last year of eboilt
ten per cent. all round.
Wholesale circles at Quebec during the
past week shows no immediate im-
provement over that of the past. On the
whole the outlook is favorable, and store-
keepers are preparing for an active win-
ter business.
In Vancouver, Victoria, etc., business
at the Pacific Coast generally Is Well tip
to enpeetations for this time of the year.
The demand for winter supplies from the
inland mining centres is quite an import-
ant factor in the jobbing trade at pee-
Eent. Payments are reported as being
fairly satisfaetory.
At Winnipeg there is a more cheerful
feeling in business circles now that con-
siderably over seventy-five per cent. of
the wheat crop has been cut. Eigh
prices, of course, are expettee for the
season's crop, and altogether the linen -
tial results of the season's operations
in the wheat belt, no matter what may
happen from now on, will be ranch better
than last year's.
At ICeenilton this week, tieeording to
Bradstreet's reports, there has been a
good aetive demand for good seasonal°
goods. Orders corning forwerd are en it
liberal setae, and in many eases are 0,11-
ing for a higher class of geode than in
previous seasons. Stocks in wholesale
trane circles are very eomplete and tit -
tractive now, and the ptospeets are for,
large season's turnover.
In Lend= wholesale eireles this week
there hail been it better inqiliI7 for most
all lines of fall goods. The farmers are
blesy with harvest operations, but
evil/ soon be malting larger deliveriea
of produce at country trade centres, and
that will stimulate busitess gerieraliy.
Wholesale trade conditions itt Ottawa
contilute Satisfactory, as reported to
Bradstreet's this week. Shipments are
larger in some important departmente
trade, and all indieations of trade point
to a succestful eeason. Values of staple

that it was in nett a condition that lie

Rochester, Sept. 20. -Almost continu.
ously calling the name of his wife, Annie
Basintis, whom he shot because he
thought her a burglar, Joseph Bastinis
i$ in the Homeopathic. Hospital, insane.
A policeman guards him night and day,
fearing ho may kill himself. The body
of Mrs. Bastinis is in Strauelren's under-
taking rdonas, wnere scores ef Italians
went yesterday.
hire Bastinis was shot at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, The shooting,
curred in the bedroom of her home, at
No. 47 Hartford street. Hearing her
baby cry, she left her husband sleeping
and tiptoed to the cradle. After quiet-
ing the and, she sought to creep back
to bed. 'Awakened by the noise, Baeintis
saw a form in the room ,and, mince,
"Who's there ?" Receiving no answer,
he reached for a revolver that hung on
the wall above his head and fired two
shots. There was a groan of pain in
the darkness and Bastinis leaped from
bed to find. that he had shot his wife.
After carryinghis wife t� the bed,
Bastinis shouted an alarm. Neighbors
summoned Dr. Thornas A. Xilllip, and
Mrs. Bastinis was sent to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital in the ambulance. As
the woman was beingcarried from the
bedroom, Bastinisimplored her te
speak to him, but she could not.. In a
paroxysm of grief the husband pounded
his head against the wall and tore his
hair. He was taken to police head-
quarters by Detective Barnett.
Mrs. Bastinis revived sufficiently to
say that the shooting was a mistake.
She andhr husband had always lived
happily together, she said. An opera-
tionewas decided upon by the surgeons
as the only possible chance of saving the
woman. She died at 7 o'clock.
When Basintis had quieted down he
was told his 'wife haa passed away.
The news stunned him and 110 sat for a
long time dumb in the corner cif his cell.
Later he px•ayed. Soon be became vio-
leot and tried to kill himself by fasten-
ing the iron chain of theacot about his
neck and slipping to the floor.
Mrs. Besintis was 19 years old and
one of the prettiest won,aen in the Ital-
ian colony. Her husband, is, 21 years
old. They have two children, one 12
weeks oln and the other 18 months old.
The couple came to Rocliester about two
months ago, the husband obtaining em-
ployment on it Main street building iu
course of construction.
Girl's Terrible Injuries.
Roehester, N. Y., Sept. 20. -An acci-
dent occurred a few minutes after 10
o'clock this morning at the Yawman &
Erbe factory. Miss Laura, Stewart, 1$
years old, is employed as a table girl,
her work consisting of putting together
pallor boxes.
In some manner her hair became en-
tangled in a shaft which operated it n-ia-
cliine. The shafting was running full
force and it piercing scream by the un-
fortunate girl attracted the attention of
everyone in the room.
In a second Miss Stewart was lifted
bodily from the floor and. whirled
around in the air. As her body struck
the floor after the first revolution, her
hair and entire scalp was torn from her
head and the girl lay motionless, blood
pouring from the horrible wound. The
scalp was held in the shafting and con-

hope that Russia will even undertake to
entertain the American proposals is
practically abandoned.

The fact that the Government of the
United. States, through Ambassador Mc-
Cormick, Inc opened negotiations with
thet Russian Government with the object
of obtaining recognition of Jewish pass-
ports in Russia, is not generally known
here. Even- the Journal de St. Peters-
burg, the semi-dficial Organ of the For-
eign Office, receives the report with in
credulity.
The Journal refers editorially to what
it calls it "steltifying article" in the
Paris Siecle on that subject, and says:
"Have those who have -written or inspir-
ed the article weighed the temerity of
the chimera, a realization of which would
be an insult to Russia?"
Washington says: "Your restrictive
laws are barbarous. We condemn them.
We will breach them." Washington
claims that Russian Jews naturalized in
the United States are entitled to escape
the laws of the empire, or the dignity of
the United Stakes would be surrendered.
No, a thousand times no. The prestige
of the United. States will not suffer. We
