Do not set your bolt up so high on a
waist that it feels as if it were short
waited and pulling up.
All cotton and linen goods are apt to
shrink; therefore do not forget to turn
down an extra inch at the top of the
skirt.
Do not forget that a better shape can
be given to a cotton dress by cutting it
off and then facing the lower edge
rather than hemming it.
Bent whalebones, the genuine article,
are straightened by soaking ,,them in
boiling water for a feW moments and
then ironing them straight.
Stockinet and good rubber dress
shields can be washed M. warm soap -
'suds, pulled into shape and dried by
flanging them in a window.
Use small hooks and eyes for the
front of a dress and the eXtra large for
the skirt, which is fastened without
seeing and needs larger catches. ,
Do not fail to run a skirt braid along
the under edge of street skirts of linen
or heavy cotton goods unless you prate
to see the edge cut out after weenie;
them a few times.
Do not work buttonholes with t3o
coarse a thread. D twist for silk and
woolen goods and 45, 50 or 60 thread.

Chicago said the other clay that these peo-

15. "There shall be a resurrection of the
dead both of the just and of the unjust."
This was and is even to this day a trou-

iii, and very clearly set forth in Dan. zit,
1-3. Not that just and unjust shall rise
at the same time, far Rev. ex, 5, 6, says
that a thousand years shall intervene, and
to this there is 00 contradiction in all
Scripture, for the hour of John v, 28, will.
cover the thousand years as Keay as the
hour of John v, 25, has already covered
over 1.elee years. Our Lard ectus made a.
very evident distinction between the two
resurrections when He told a certain one
of rowatels at the resurrection of the just
(Luke are, 14).

and their rewards for service at His corn-

ments of Ibis present evil world and Makes
. us labor to be ever acceptable to Him.
Every believer is tempted in Hint (Eph.,
6), and. that stunds unchanged, but be-
muse of this we seek to be acceptable to
Him in all things, and trust Rim to work
in us those things which are well pleasing
in His sight (Heb. iii, 21).
17-10. Here is a true and brief statement
of the ease as to why he was in Jerusalem
and why in the temple when they found
him there, and who his accusers ought to
have been, if any. The secret of the whole
trouble was that which Paul well 'under-
stood, for he himself was once heartily
one with the high priest and elders in their
hatred of Jesus and the story of His resur-
reotion from the dead. If Jesus of Naza-
reth was really Israel's Messiah, then the
nation was guilty of crucifying their King,
and that tbey would not submit to. Paul
bad actually seen Him, and knew that i1
was even so, and that the crucified Christ
was really risen from the dead and was at
the right hand of God, Israel's true and ,
only Messiah, Son of David, Son of Abra-
ham.
20, 21. "Touching the resurrection of
the dead I am called in question by you
this day." It was that wi$oh set the
council in an 'uproar (xxiii, 6, 7), and they
knew it. It was the resurrection from the
dead which with power declared Him to
be the Son of God (Rom. 1, 4), and the
full import of the great fact is finely set
forth in I Cor. xv. There is no gospel, no
salvation, no forgiveness of sins, no use in
preaching, no ground for faith, no sense
in baptism or any ordinance of the church
if Christ be not risen. His life and death
were all in vain if Be be not risen. But
He is risen, and that secures everything
for all who are His or are willing to be-
come His by faith in Him.

tO — Commentary by the Itev, D. M
Stearns:
10, After five days Paul is now before
Felix, the governor, and is permitted to
speak for himself in the presence of hie ao-
ousers,the high priest and others who bave
come from Jerusalem to condemn hiln
(verse 1). They emceed him of many
things, but all their accusations were false
(verses 5-9), and 'thus he bad increased fel-
lowthip with his Lord in that they spoke
reisohievous thiegs of him, imagined de-
ceits and laid to bis charge tbings he kneW
not of (Ps. xzxviii, 12; lzix, 4). AU Man-
ner of fellowship with God and with Christ
should be prized by us as a gift as Touch
as to believe on llina (Phil. i, 29).
11-18. Paul with few wards sweeps away
all their aoeusations as utterly untrue and
without foundation. He knew tbat God
was with hixn, arid he had no fear. He
could calmly faoe all his acousers, and the
devil himself, their captain. Ile knew in
bis soul that there were more with him
than with them (II Kings vi, 16) and could

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Toronto, Oct. 1L—With Saturday's
receipts we had all told quite 80 loads of
offerings in the Western Cattle market
this morning. Today's arrivals of 45
loads included 3,500 bogs, 1,585 lambs
and sheep, 15 calves, and about a dozen
milkers. There was practically little if
any change in the condition of the cattle
trade and while we had to -day more
general activitythan on Saturday, all the
stuff here did not sell.
The export cattle trade. was slow, and
prices showed. no improvenrent. The
range was from 394', to 4%c per pound,
though in a few cases some extra choice
lots sold at - one-eightla cent more; but
there was no life in this department of
tho busbies&
We had. u plentiful supply of stockers,
the ordinary' grades selling at from 2%
to So per pound, while some choice stuff
split up to 31ete per pound. While the en-
quiry for stockers is not as active as is
was, the trade as yet is very good.
A. few good milkers are required up
to about $40 each, but the common class
of cows is not a ready sale just now.
Light as was the supply of calves, we
had sufficient for to -day, as only choicer
calves appear to be wanted; prices run
from $8 to 16 each, with probably 17 for
an extra good one.
Both lambs and sheep were in ample
supply, and prices were not especially
strong. Lambs are worth from 3 to 4o
per pound, and sheep from 3 to 334o per
pautd. .

With the now equipment "A" Field
Battery will i a future turn out with six
elms and Owewagons,
who could now give the most important
testimony, nest In order, was the chief cap-
tain who bad twice rescued him from the
infuriated Jews, There was, therefore,
nothing further to be done till Lyslag
should come. The waiting times for the
people of God when the work seems hin-
dered by the indifference or open opposition
of the enemies of God is ono of the mye
teries. It would seem from verse 27 that
Paul was a prisoner at Caesarea for two
years. Might all this bare been escaped
if he bad not insisted upon going to Jeru-
salem just at that time? Anyway, to rest
in the Lord and wait patiently for Him is
surely good.
28. Paul is a kind of free prisoner. He
is under guard, but at liberty to see all
who come to hina. So it was also on the
way to Rome and at Rome (xxvii, 8; xxviii,
18), and Paul doubtless made the best pos-
sible use of his liberty for the glory of God
and to magnify the Lord Jesus, for that
was tbe wbole aim. of his life and the end
of all his teaching (Gal. 11, 20; Phil. i, 20,
21). Let each one ask, Can I say truly
"Fte- me to livo is Christ?" "I live, yet
not 1, but Christ liveth in me?" "Christ
shall be magnified."
24. How glad Paul would be of this op-
portunity to set forth the .faith in Christ,
and especially to a Jewess, for one of his
mottoes was "To the Jew first" (Rom. i,
16). He did not need time to think out or
prepare his discourse, for he was full of it,
or rather of Christ, and. always ready for
such an camortunity. Every preacher
should be so fell of the word of iHod that
when an opportunity to speak is afforded
he could trust the Spirit to et the message
in his lips (Prov. xxii, 18; Math. x, 20).
25. "He reasonedof righteousness, tem-
perance and jtidgmexit to come." We nay
imagine withent diffieulty, from his epie-
ties, on what lines he would reason and,
whence ho would get his argamonts. He
alwaysreasoncd out of the Scriptotes (Acts
xvii, 2) and never in the words -which
nian's wisdom teacheth (I Cor. ii, In On
righteousness he would certainly show its
necessity, that no man has it nor can get
it of himself, but that God has provided it
fully in Christ and gives it freely to who-
soever will.
