A Moistreal dospeteh: The lawyers for tugene Hebert, one of the Prin- cipals in the famous marriage an- nuilment ease, had an interview with their client this morning and ae result of It the firet move in the elppeat proceeture was taken in the courts hero. Hebert told L. J. Lefebvre that he was dissatisfied with hie position and was anttione to appeal against Judge Charbonnean's finding. Ho fetid that he was willing to go as far as he could to secure a definite decision on the matter. Mrextehvre accordingly filed an inscription tor a review of the ease before three Superior Court judges, one of wbem will be Sir Melbourne 'Tait, the Chia Judie() of Quebec. A guarente for cotes was also &peened. When asked who was to foot the bill for the heavy coats, (retailed by e continuing the litigation, he said that Hebert Ana himself were prepared to aay. He ale° aaid that ho assistance had been received from the ItoMan Catholic Church, ti ugh it might help later on.

The goodness that attracts men, repels demons. III. Bestowed upon the outcast, After a day of laborious occupation with the rmiltitudee Jeene sought an opportunSty for secret devetion, The Solitary place was his chamber and the darkness his bolted door, He made the eatery place a temple of God by his prayers. Prayer Is a fluty of great excellence and profit and is ofteo commanded in the Scrim tures. It is a holy conference with God. Jesus did not let it interfere with his ao. tivity in behalf of others. He prayed while others Wept. The spiritual awak- ening and cenquest of the land of Gali- lee was next to be undertaken. His fame had spread abroad. aid reaelied the leper of Galilee, who would have fled from a rabbi, but who came in lowliest attitude of entreaty to Jesus. Be put himself enreservedly in the hands of the Healer. ITis appeal showed a true apprehension of his need and of Jesus' divine sover- eignty. The man'' misery and earnest- uese led him to make a dangerous exper- ment. There were both eourage and doubt, and withal, faith in his approach. de was persuaded of Jesus' power to teal, longed to put it to test, and was •xlmost sure of his willingness. Be had a sense of his present opportunity and a readiness to receive immediate help. 130 - 'ng most grievously afflicted he wag most seriously in need of healing. His intense misery whieh no human remedy could relieve, 'brought him into immedi- lee contact with eJsus. When he said, "If thou wilt," he narrowed his appeal and directed it to the *ill of Jesus. .1E5 faith in Jesus' power was very much etrouger than his bath in his willingness or loye. Jceus, at once, gave pruetieal expression to his own deep pity. By his touch he took away the ban whieh separ- ated the leper from all human aeeocia- tion. The leper was "a parable of death." Jesus wee superior alike to ma- torial eontamination and legal restric- tion. Misery stood in the preseaee of mercy and the result muat be healing. Vet Jesus honored the old diapeneation at the same time he founded the new. The priests had declared the men me clean; they must also pronounce him eleansed.-T. R. A. -Mae? ea le Au o ghtway."-It. V. Tell him of her -The mighty cures which Jesus had already wrought pre. pared the minds of thou Interested to believe that he could cure this woman. 31. Took her by the hand, and !Med her up -Matthew say, "He teuehed her hand." We was a token of the applica- tion of power. The fever left her --"Tee willed, and it was done. The curative virtue is in Christ's wili, not in instru- mentalities.' Ministerei unto them - Stich fevers naturally 14:ewe the patient weak and liable to dangerous repalses, and much time and care are required to recover the usual strength.

Then also, it would be eooler than in the heat of the day.

Jesus at prayer (vs. 85, 30.) 85. In the moraing-The day following the Saibbath.

A missionttry tour (vs. 37-30.) 37. An men seek for thee -The knowledge of his remarkable power in. healing the sick and casting out evil spirits had reached the people throughout Galilee (Mark 1: 28), and the demands upon him were great. It was for the temporal good that Jeeue omelet bestow, rather than for the spiritual good that He desired to impart, that the people were seeking him. 38. Into the next tovins --The word" "towns" here means plaeeS larger than villages, but unwalled, and less than ordinary villages,-Whedon. Preach there al,so--Ilis labors xnuet not all be expended upon one community, but He must carry the gospel and its blessings into the regions beyond. This was the first missionary circuit of Jesus through Galilee. For therefore came I forth -His mission was to do good to the souls and bodies of men. 39. In their syneaogues-He made use of every opportunitby to preach the gospel, enter- ing the synagogues (scattered here and there, evon though the worship was practically lifeless, The law was rea,d, and He was given an opeortunity to nn - fold its spiritual and powerful truths. V. A leper cleansed (vs. 4045). 40. There came a leper -The leprosy was the most loathsome and the most dreaded disease among the Jews. Of it Gelkie says, "From the skin it slowly ate its way through the tissues to the bones and $oints, a•nci even to the mar- row, rotting the whole body piecemeal. The lungs, the organs of speech and hearing, and the eyes, were attaelcodein turn, till at last eonsteraption or dropsy brought welcome death. The dread of infeetion kept men aloof from the suf- ferer; and the law proseribed him as above all men unclean." In the couree of the disease one portion .of the body after another wastes away or sloughs off, and the vietim suffers a slow bat certain death. The disease is infectious, and is considered by many to be heredi- tary. It is spread over large portion s of the earth, especially In warm climates. it is progressive, and so far as is now known, incurable, although it has re- cently been claimed that an effeetual treatment for it has been discovered. The leproor is a fitting emblem of sin. The leper came to Jesus, thin% aeknosel- edging his condition and his need, and his desire for help, Beseeehing hint, and kuteling down -Matthew telle lla that he worshipped Jesus, and Luke says "ho fell on his fteee." It was an act of reveie enee, and certainly an act of entreaty. He had come to know of ,Iesits through the great works He had wrought. If thou wilt -The leper did not doubt his willingness. It was a question in his mind whether Jesus Would he willing to help one whoee very pretence was defiling. Thou eanst, make me clean - Here is an unqualified expression of fa it1. 11. 44esus touched him- The leper's touch meant ceremonial (Utile- ment end poesibly the communication of the leprosy, but Jena touehed him, for no pollution could attach iteelf to Hitn, no leprosy eould stand before °maltose tent power "The touch would be an optical demonstration of the Retail.' trail/sit Of healing virtue from the surer Lo the euted."--alorison, I will; be thou elean--This was an fillSWer tO CIO leper's doubt, "if thou wilt," and to Ms faith, °thou eant." We may try to im- agine the feclinge of the disetteed man upon Waring these gracious words. 42, BRADSTREET1 TRADE REVIEW.

"Time is vital to bring the two points of view approximately together, and I cannot help believe that time will break the deadlock." The two points of view referred to by Mr. Asquith were those outlined in his speeeh to the miners' delegates on Feb. 29, in which he pointed out that the Governument had recognized the Prineiple of the minimum wage demand- ed by the underground workers, and that a majority of the coal ownershad assented to the proposal. The Premier's statement was largely made up of repe- titions of that speech.

Ills Lordship's theme was the Ohlld, as regarded in the Christian Economy, and he did not mince words in dealing with the responsibilities and duties of parent- hood. The people and the nation, said he, whicili shirked their duties in this re- spect, were bound to disappear, and he cited the example of the Puritans who once held full eveay in New England. Now it was the Irish who predominated in that part of the country, this being wholly due to the fact that, whereas the Puritan endeavored to evade the law of nature, the Irishman had been loyal to the teachings of his church, •Just in the same way could it be explained why the Irishmen and Frenchmen were so strong in the population of the great Canadian nation. They had not forgot- ten the traditions of their Catholic an- cestors.
