Nicodemus cornew to Christ (vs, I, 2). 1. Of the Pbarisees- & very strict and religious sect of Jews, They were orthodox and. believed in the immortality of the soul and. a future state. They laid great %Alves „. upon their tradition, esteeming them as highly as they -did. the Scriptures. They expected the Messiah would be a tem- poral deliverer and king, end were gen- erally 'reeking for him. Nicodemus-A riele rider of the Jews, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the supreme counbil of the Jewish nation. All we know of him with certainty is recorded. here and in John vie, 50, and. xix., 39. 2. Came * * * by night -The net of cleansing the temple had brought Christ into prominence. The plain inference is, also, that he had perferme4 miracles that life not mentioned by the Bible writers. He came privately, by night, "as an act of prudenSa and discretion." The interesting point is not why he came by night, but that he came at all. He had strength of character and was an unprejudiced, earnest seeker after light, and we have reason to believe that af- terwards he became of disciple of Christ. Rabbi -This was showing great respect to rine who had not been educated in the rabbinical schools. A teacher come from God -This was a complete endorsement of Jesus and his work, and now, having thus endorsed him, he was under great- er - obligations to accept the truths that Jesus was about to proclaim. the firet principles -the 'beginning" of.; gospel truth -how shall ye believe if I eontinne the subteat farther and tell you of the deeper things, the heavenly thane I Binh as. "my divinity (v. 13); the atone -1 anent (v. 14); salvation by faith (v. 15); the great love of Gee (v. N)?" 13. And 110 man, ete.----There wee a false notion among the Jews that Moser: had, ascend- ed up to heaven to get the law. J09118 in effect says, No one, not oven Moses, bath ascended up to heaven to searelig out heavenly things; but the Son of man luis dwelt 'from all eternity in the bo- som of the tether," and, has eonae direct from heaven, In heaven -He is Min - present, filling heaven and. earth with hie presence, and even now is in heaven. V. The way of Salvation (vs. 14, 15), 14. The serpent -Num. xxl, 4-9. "The history of the brazen serpent is a para. ble of the goepel." Son of man be lit - ed up -1. In his crucifixion. 2. In his exaltation. 3. In the publishing end. preaching of his everlasting goepel,- Henry. 15. Whosoever, etc. -Gentiles as well as Jews. "Whosoever" is bet - t " erfor eac tl th one tan ough he me called by name, for the same name might belong to another. Those who accept Christ as their personal Savior will be saved from the effects of sin, which na- turally end. in the destruction of the soul, and will be given spiritual life here and. in the world to come life everlasting. Eternal life - Eternal life is the life which nothing ean destroy. It is ntoce than endless existence. The wicked gill exist forever. "Eternal life is fulness of life, joy, peace and love." Teachings -We may have riches, here or and education, but if we are not born again we are not saved. We cen hide behind a false profession, but when the testing time comes it will fail us. 'Te may rest assured that the sayings of Christ are faithful sayings. We cannot comprehend spiritual things unless we have spiritual life, The sacrifice of Jesus was the only means by which the re- demption of the world could be effected, but it is perfectly sufficient and we have no need to trust in any other. • • BROKE THOUGHT'S TRAIN. II. The new birth (vs. 3-6). 3, Jesus answeeed-Not to a spoken question, but to the deep unspoken question of his soul. Verily, verily -These words were used to express the truthfulness of what was about to be spoken and were con- sidered of equal import with the solemn oath. I say unto thee -Jesus here en- tered into the very heart of gospel truth. Re did not undertake to preach a pleasheg sermon in order to make a new disciple of this "master in Israel," Jesus says 'be.' • We must be before we searching talk, in which Nicodemus was made to understand that he was not in the kingdom of God simply because he was a pious Jew. Except -"Jesus meets the 'except' of Nicodemus with another `except: Nicodemus says 'do'; Jesus says `bee We must be before we can do.' Born again -"From above," "anew," ceuverted, regenerated. The one born again has a new life, with ii new nature, new principles, new affections, new aims. It is the being made a new creature in Christ Jesus (Gal. vi., 15). "As the nat- ural birth introduces us into natural life, SO the spiritual oirth introduces us into spiritual life, opens our spiritual senses, and preparers us to enloy spiritual things.' Cannot see -Enjoy, share in, enter (v. 5). Kingdom. of God -The kingdom of grace here and of glory here- after. 4. How. Born, etc. -To be born again was a. familiar figure wtih the Jews, but Nicodemus evidently thought Christ's description of this being born again to be radical and absolute as to suggest and justify the query whether it did not include e re -birth of body.- Whedon. 'Wescott's exposition gives this another turn: "Man's character is the resultant of forces which have been aetin,g upon him through life; how can all these be annulled and a fresh start made? As easy were it to imagine phy- sical birth repeated." The question ask. - ed by Nicodemus expresses surprise and wonder and perhaps incredulity. 5. Of water and of the Spirit. We present three different views as to the meaning of the term 'water"; 1. "Water, wash- ing and cleansing, are figurative ex- pressions used in Scripture to denote a spiritual operation on man's heart." "It is not necessary that we should un- derstand two different things, and this is probably only an elliptical form of speech for the Holy Spirit under the sintilitude of water.-- Clarke. 2. A num- ber of expositors think the water bas referenee to Christian baptism 3. "The expression refers to John's baptism, which was unto repentence, and was alone known to Nicodemus. You must thoroughly repent and be "born from above." 6. Of die flesh is flesh -Like pro- duces like with regard to both flesh and spirit. We are thoroughly fallen, and a clean thing cannot come from an un- clean. III. An illustration (vs. 7,8,9. 7.Marvel not -Do not wonder at this, there are many things you do not understand. Thou canst not even understand the blowing of the wind. Must be -This law is unchangeable. There is no other way of entering the kingdom of heaven. 8 Wind bloweth-This illustration was likely suggested by the eound of the night wind. about the house. Jesus spec- ifies three points in which the Holy Spirit's work in regeneration is like the wind: 1. Independence of movement, "where it listeth." 2. Dietinetness of of - feet, "thou hearest the sound." 3. Its surpassing our eomprehension fie to its origiri and its deetiny, thou "canst not tell," etc. A fourth analogy is certainly worthy of mention, though not in 'mint With islicodemint, namely, the varieties hi the power, sometimes gentle ns zephyr, again raging as tornado. - Hurlba.

Toronto, Jan. 16. -The inquest to determine whether or not Wallace Goodfellow received proper medical treatment was continued last night, and after the evidence of Mrs. Bertha Goodfellow, wife of the deceased, and Dr. Riordan had been heard, another adjournment till Monday night was made. Mrs. Goodfellow recalled how her hus- band had gone to his mother's home, and how for a week before he died she was dented permission to see him. Her visits, it was claimed, intervened with the train of thought, because her actions were not in perfect harmony and peace. Once when Mrs. Goodfellow spoke about proper med- ict.1 treatment for her husband, and a pos- sible visit from Crown Attorney Curry, Mrs. Goodfellow, mother of deceased, it was asserted, remarked that she did not care for all the law and doctors going. Mrs. Goodfellow, the mother of Wallace, explained, when medicine was spokan about, that she was a Christian Scientist to the backbone and that she would be a sin- ner if she gave or took any. Dr. Riordan, who was ordered not to call again after one or two visits, said the condition of the body at the post-mortem examination indicated that the man had died as a result of lack of proper nour- ishment and care. Dr. Riordan thought that had the proper medicine been given Goodfellow, to strengthen the action of his heart during his illness, he would in all probability have recovered. The exposure from getting up out of bed and golOg down starts, and the exertion of putting on his clothes, as brought out in the evi- dence. lessened the chances of recovery. Of the cases of typhoid fever, Dr. Riordan declared, about 93 per cent. recovered with proper medical treatment, TOLD BY A FINGER PRINT. Gliallee to aeompany him, camped, and la etii1 at largo.

Vancouver, B. a, Jan. 16. --The Sydnei, New South Wales, courts have just demon- strated the importance of the finger -print system as a means of identifying a criminal. A. young man charged with burglary has been Sound guilty in a case where the Crown re- lied solely upon the evidence of finger- prints. The burglar, in gaining entry to the building, broke the glass of a window and left the impression of his hand in the dust. This was photographed, and the exhibit was produced in court. The Sury returned a ver- dict in a few minutes of guilty. This was the first case of the kind in the Commonwealth. But it was quickly followed by another. • The accused, who was chargea with breaking and entering, left the 'mores - Bien of his hand on a newly -painted door. This was photographed, and found to cor- respond with an impress of the hand of the prisoner. Io this case also a verdict of guilty was quickly reached. Senior Sergeant Childs, the officer in charge of the finger -print department at SydneY, says ha considers the system almost infalli- ble. The eases were watched with the great- est interest by the polies, jail and justice de- partment officials. COME IN AS STUDENTS. - - Chinese Plan to Evade the Poll Tax Worked in Vancouver, B. C. Victoria, 13. (1., Jan. 16.-A clever and successful scheme to evade the pro- hibitive Chinese poll tax, which has ap- parently kept all Chinese immigrants out of Canada since December, 1903, has been exposed in connection with the working of the Victoria. School I3oard. The practice has been to have the new arrival take advantage of the students' exemption clauses, and attend the city public schools for one year, receiving thereupon a certificate under the hand of City Superintendent Eaton, who, at the instance of the Trustee Board, bit - posed a $2.50 fee. The Chinese, not satisfied with saving $497.50 each, through finding the flaw in the Canadian law, sought through Messrs. Bodwell & Lawson, to evade the certificate fee as an illegal impost, and now immediate representation will 1:e made to Ottawa in order that the mach- inery of Canadian protection ageing Oriental cheap labor maybe repaired where shown defective during the com- ing session of the Federal Parliament.

Washington, Jan. 16. -An unsuccessful attempt was made to -day by one or more civilians to blow up the statue of Frederick the Great, reeently presented to the U. S.

Montreal advices to Bradstreet's say: Trade conditions here continue some- what quiet, although 'there are some signs of increasing activity in whole- sale circles. Travellers are now fairly out upon the road and ordere are be- ! ginning to arrive in better volume. There 1 is a better demand for sorting lines from 1 the country. Drygoods men are doing a fair business. Trade in groceries is quiet. Sugars are advancing. Stocks of wools are light and the markets firm. The market for leather is also very firm. Dairy products show an advancing ten- dency under a good demand. Reports to Bradstreet's from Toronto say: There is now a fair wholesale bus- iness doing here in most lines, Good roads have aided in the movement of country stocks. Retailers have been clearing out lines which were left over from last year, and as these are now fairly well out of the market there is a better prospect for wholesale trade. Values of commodities are generally steady to firm, and there is little fea- ture to the situation of the markets. Hardware continues to move well, and dry goods eau(' groceries aro meeting wiht a fair trade. The outlook is pro- mising for greater activity in the near future. Collections are fair. At Quebec no immediate improvement is noticed in trade circles. Business in mine quarters is quiet. Those 'who have completed stock -taking appear satisfied with general results. Country collections are still slow. City trade is quiet, which is usual after the holiday rush. Bradstreet's advices say: Generally speaking, trade at Winnipeg is still a little quiet after the holiday season, but there are signs of revival and improve- ment is expected to make itself felt very ehortly. Money is still tight and collec- tions slow. It is estimated about 24,- 500,000 bushels of wheat remain in the farmers' hands to be marketed, and with the price ranging about $1.04, the hold- ers are in a fortunate positiOn. Coiled- tiotiii are exepcted to improve as more wheat is marketed. Victoria and Vancouver reports say: Trade here for the prat week has been quiet, and the outlook is not of the brightest on account of the depression in the lumber and the salmon-paelcing industries. There is, however, a, fair WhOloeale trade (king and dealers gen- erally are not pessimistic.

Believed Now That Andrew II. Green Was Shot in Mistake by Insane Negro. Chicago, Jan. x, -With a pistol and razor John Miller, a cook, killed Itis wife and infant daughter Annie to -day, fatally wounded another daughter Martha, zee years old, and then, after shooting himself through the heart, cut his own throat. Jealousy is believed by the police to have been the cause of the tragedy, Miller is still alive, Tile unconscious forms of the Miller latter's attention to Mrs, Elias. With family were found in their home by po- lice, who had been eummoned by neigh- bors. The bodies were hurried to the hospitals. ,Mrs. Miller died on the way. Her younger child was dead before re- moval by the police. The older child survived only a short time after ar- riving at the hospital. Miller will prob- ably die. In the hurry of getting the victims from the house, Peirce Sergeant Sauer slipped on the icy sidewalk and broke his left leg. He was taken to a hospi- tal in the same ambulance that carried Millionaire and Negress. New York, Jan. 16. -The final stage in the %struggle for possesion of neatly three-quarters of a million dollars be- tween John R. Platt, an aged mullion. sire, and Hannah Elias, a negress, whom he charges wrongfully obtained the money from him was scheduled to begin before Justice Bischoff in the Supreme Court to -day. In this suit it was ex- pected that the whole amazing story of the affair, which attracted the attention of the entire country when the secret of Platt's relation with the woman were revealed by the filing of his suit last summer, would be brought out. Interest in the case was intensified frem the first by the strange and tragic death of Andrew H. Green, one of the city's most prominent men, who was shot to death almost at the door of the Elias woman's home on Central Park west a few months before the Platt suit was filed. Green's murderer, a negro, who was captured and later sent to an insane asylum, said he had shot Mr. Green because. he was jealous of the the filing of the Platt suit the conten- tion of Mr, Green's friends that he was a victim of nustakea identity when. the fatal attack was made, was practically proven. There was a remarkable anti- 1arity in personal appearance between Andrew H. Green and john .R. Platt, and Mr. Platt himself has said that he be- lieved the insane negro intended to kill bim and mistook Mr. Green for him, Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast sum named in Platt's suit was given to her voluntarily by Platt -that lle liter- ally threw money at her. She has told of one instance when, she says, after pressing her to take the large sum which she refused, he threw a great handful of banknotes on the floor, and she had a servant gather them up on a dustpan. On the other hancl, Platt claims that the defendant resorted to every trick and device her ingenuity cold command to extort money from him during the 20 ears of their acquaintance. There the matter stood when the case was ready for trial to -day, Though the prosecution of Mrs. Elias before Magis- trate Ommen last June failed utterly, Platt's attorneys said they looked for more success when the complainant goes on the stand at this trial. Mr. Platt is now 87 years old and very feeble. In the first trial his memory seined al- most entirely shattered, and when press- ed by counsel for Mvs. Elias Ile could not maintain any statement he had made even but a few minutes before, He seemed completely bewildered. • It was believed that the ordeal which will confront him when he goes on the stand in the present trial of the suit will be even more severe than that in the mag- istrate's court.

The Aca- demy of 'elude block, a four story brick building, was ruined, and the hotel Sa- voy, adjoining was badly damaged. Ile Park Hotel, near by was threatened, fart was not injured. Two or three, small frame buildings in the rear were slight- ly damaged. The constant rattle of sa• ploding cartridges in a hardware store on the street floor of the Academy of Music block, added to the excitement and danger. The heaviest losses arc Lee - ben Bloomfield, owner of the Aca ferny of Music block, $40,000; Jewett lemma. tic Company, leseees of" the theatre, $10,- 000; fifty associates, owners of Hotel Savoy,' $26,000; S.

Detmold, who died yesterday in his asp nun at St. Gilgenberg, neer Bayreuth, was surroended by all the forms of roy- alty, by gentlemert-in-waiting and ser- vants who showed Min the most exag- gerated respect and kept up the illusion that he was indeed it sovereign. He took much pleasure in the inaintermee of se- vere etiquette, read the newspapers daily and seemingly kept track of the world's % affairs rind those of hie own little prin- cipality, but he never permitted anyone to speak of them. He played chess often and was fond of music and the- atrical productions.

When this was completed the British army would be itt advance of that of any other nation. Continuing,Mr. Balfour said the fault with the empire was not that it was too mall, but that it was too great and, powerful and at the same time melee - developed. One of the greatest -prob- lems before the ceuntry was that of de- velopment, and the country was only just beginning to realize the import- ance of further development of all come tries ender the British flag.

In tee case of the Dogger Bank incident Great Britain had skirted the precipice of war, and a email want of tact Would nave been a discredit to civilization. ln con- clusion, Mr. Balfour urged that it was the duty of all Britons to build up the machinery by which a closer union with the colonies could be produced. 4 NOTRING LIKE LEATHERS, Student Went Four Days Without Food in a Calorimeter.
