"Hear, 0 my eon, and receive my sayings, and the yeere of thy life eball be many." We may think of David Wraps- ing Solomon (see Terse 3), but it will be. more profitable for us to receive the words as from God our Father to all who are His children by faith in Christ Jesus. We may bear I3is words and not receive them, but when we hear and receive, or believe, fpr THE RECIPROCITY QUESTION. The Question Still Under Consideration at Washington. Washington, Nov. 21. -The Anglo- American Commission held no session on Saturday, but the two sides holo separate conferences for the purpose of arranging their data for the next joint session on Tuesday. Reciprocity continued to be the main subject of discussion, and it was understood that the lumber item was receiving considerable attention. It Is probable that the free lists in the Tarlff Acts of Canada and the United States will be incorporated in any reoiprooiey agreement which inay be reached, and it is pointed out by members of the com- mission that this will bo important in giving these fres lists a permanent form as parts of a treaty, rather than in changeable form as part of the general statutes. Besides the articles on the pres- ent free lists, efforts are being made to extend these lists as far as possible on products in which the countries do not come into competition. DESERTED 43 YEARS AGO. believing is receiving (John 1, 12), wethns have life (John v, 24). It wilt make this teaching simple if wbon we read of wis- dom, as in verses 5, 7, eto., we think of Him who is the wisdom of God (1 Cor- 24, 30). In Jas. 1, 2l, we are taught that the word moat be received with meekness. 11. "I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths," Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace (chapter iii, 17), Hs always leads, by a right way to our city of habitation (Pe. evil, 7). He is the Way, and Ile is our Peace; when He ,putteth forth Ills sheep. He goeth before, and to follow Him is, to go in perfect Peace, for His will is always wisest, and His way is always best. and In perfect acquiescence there le always perfect reit, Abide la His love, 12, " When thou goest, tby steps shall pot be straitened, and when thou renewal thou shalt not stumble." There le no straitness with Him. His is an abundant way; abundant grace and glory; all our need supplied according to His riches (Fbil, iv, 10). Philip's 200 pence would have given each of the 6,000 a little, but our Lord's way wee to fill them with as teuola as they desired (John oh, 1.12). Whop His people hearken unto limn and walk in His ways, He fills and satisfies thane (Ps. Ixxxi, 10.16), He makes them to be *ads, fled with favor and full with the blessing of the Lord (Deut, xxxiii, 23). The bless- ing which manicotti rich and to wbiob ole tubi addoth nothing (Prov,. z, 22, R. V.). 13. "Take fest hold at instruction, lot her not go, keep her, for the is thy life, She is a tree of life --life unto thy soul (chapter iii, 18, 22). By comparing text with text eve get the unity of the Scrip- tures, the oneness ot thought, for all cen- ters in Him who is our life (Dent. xxx, 20; Col. iii, 4),. To walk in. His way and keep His commandments is Iifeand right- eousness (Deut. v. 33; el, 25), but He is the end of the law for righteousness to ev- ery ono that believeth; so it is summed up in receiving and walking in Him (Rom. x, 4; Col. ib, 6). Having received the word With meekness, the next thing is to hold it fast, for it Is a faithful word (Titus 1, 9; Rev. 11, 25). When eaten by his servants questions any part of the word of God, the believer should take the hint to hold that portion all the more firmly. 14. "Euter not into the path of the wicked and go not in the way of evil men." Since the devil tempted Eve in the garden. of Eden he has been over seeking whom he may devour, and he seems to find multi- tudes willing to bo devoured. 15. "Avoid it, pass not by 1t, turn from it and pass away."' Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness and sin not, foe some have not the knowledge of God (I Cor. xv, 88, 84). Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of theungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth le the seated the scornful (Ps,1,1). If Eve had not stopped to look at the tree, the fruit of which she was forbidden to eat, the might not have fallen, If Aohan bad not looked upon the gold and the gar- ment, he, too, might not have sinned, All that is not of God we must turn away from, lest we fall into temptation. Look- ing unto Jesus is the only way to run our race. Beholding the glory of the Lord is the way to become like Him. 10. "For they sleep not except they have done misobiof, and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall." To kill and to destroy, to give torment end anxiety, is their master's business and theirs. They speak loftily, they set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth (Ps. radii, 8, 9). David said concerning them, "They that meek my hurt speak mischie- vous things and imaglue deceits all the day long" (Pe. exxviil, 12). Tho Son of Man came to save, not to destroy; He gives life and life abundant and joy and peace and glory. The followers of the devil are ever taking all they can get and giving noth- ing real in return. The Son of God gave Himself for us and bore all the devil's bate that He might redeem ns from his power. 17. "For they eat the bread of wlaked- ness and drink the wine of violence." Contrast the bread and wine of Melchise- deo in connection with the blessing of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth (Gen. xiv, 18, 19); also the bread and wine of the communion, representing our Lord'■ body given for us and His blood shed for us that we, eating Him, might live by Him (John vi, 64, 67). The ungodly may be said to live upon the flesh and blood of those whose downfall they accomplish, but our Lord, by humbling Himself unto death, gives us His life to be our life. He 1s the bread from heaven. 18. "But the path of the just is as the shining light that shinetb more and more unto .the perfect day." He is the truly hist one who suffered •for our sins, the just for the npjust. He is the true light, the light of:the World, and as He is increasingly made known His light will shine more and more until He shall have gathered out of all nations His complete body, and after that He will come with all His saints es the Sun of Righteousness, and then it Will bo the perfect day on all the earth, Ushered in by the morning without clouds of II Sani. xxiii, 8, 4. If we are justified by faith in Him, then, though our path may load through many a dark valley as Joseph's did, end David's and Jeremiah's, it is over l;;ading on to the perfect day of His kingdom when wo shall be like Him, for wo shall see Him as. He is. 19. "The way of the wicked is as dark- ness ; they know not at what they stumble." The wicked are children of the night and of darkness; they lire in darkness and vvhon they die they go out into the outer dark- ness whore there le weeping and gnashing of teeth (I Theis. v, 4, 6; Eph. v, 8; Math. xiv, 80). The Lord knoweth the way of dna righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall pe. ish (Ps. 1, 6). As children of light let us walk hi the light, having no fellowship with the works of darkness, but trusting the Lord to so shine in us that many may be turned from darkness to light (II Cor, vi, 14; iv, 6).

The school children of America are to erect in Paris a nlonuntent to the memory of Lafayette, the gallauo Frenchman who shared the honors of the R,wolution with Washington. The idea is a novel one and PIi/POSED DESIGN FOR eara7CETTE MONTI` MENT. has quickly taken root since It was tiro proposed a few months ago. With the sanction of President Melsinlay the vari- ous *tete authorities were invited to ap- point a Lafayette day and receive such subscriptions toward the feud as the chil- dren *night bring. In most of the states ('lot, 19, the date o1 the surrender of Cornwallis at York- town, was selected, and on that day in thousands of tchoolboutes all over rho country Lafayette, his heroic services to the cause of liberty and his life story form- ed the principal topics of the day, All the returns from the subsoriptions have not yet been received, but It is known that many thousands of dollars have been col- lected and that a sum sufficient to erect a most handsome memorial will soon be available. A national committee appointed by the president has charge of the affair, and a report will he made within a wick sir so, It is proposed to have the unveiling and. dedication exercises tape place on United State's day at the Paris exposition, soak- ing that dray one of the most conspicuous. events of the big show of 1000 -to Amer- kens mer!tens at least, 11. Mauch, tate celebrated French sculp- tor, bas already submitted a design for the statue) which is regarded with Much favor. Other designs will also be consid- ered, however, and tbo best one will be picked out by the members of the Lafayette memorial commission. • To have in Paris a statue erected by American school children will strengthen the bond of sympathy between tiro two nations more than the signing of a dozen treaties, The boys and girls who blies oontributed to the fund have incidentally learned a lot about Lafayette which they will never forget, and thus one epoch in American history is firmly fixed in the minds of tho rising generation. A SMOKING PARSON. Ileal John Storm, Who Works Ia London's ainetteehapel District. In "The Christian," you know, Hall Caine draws as his principal character John Storni, an earnest young minister" who, becoming disgusted with the hypoc- risy of the rich *thumb in which be is an assistant rentor, leaves to go down into the slums, where he works with fanatical. zeal. Probably Hall Caine did not dis- cover, during his somewhat superficial. study of London's slums, that there was a real John Storm at work in the White- chapel district, but there is. His name is T. C. Collings, and he Is known to many of his rough parishioners asthe "Smoking Parson" from his habit of keeping his pipe going on any and all occasions. Mr. Collings is an educated man, s cu- rate in the church of England, but be be- lieves in a practical Christianity that feeds both the body and the soul and ministers to all innocent pleasures as the most ef- fectual way of weaning the soul from all evil appetites. Being a real character in areal London, he does not meet with any of the cruel persecutions from the lay and epiritnal aristocraoy and the guttersnipes of the de- mocracy who infest the unreal London of Mr. Hall Caine's devising. He is laughed at by the ungodly, commiserated by the T. C. COLLINGS. worldly, occasionally rebuked by his eoole- siastical superiors and often insulted by the class whom he has set out to save, but his life and his honor are safe, He has no Glory Quayle to perplex his simple con- science with a divided duty. He bas given up the whole world, and the world has forgotten him. In his ministrations among the poor he does not confine himself to words of ad- vice or comfort or prayer. He distributes food among them -and tobacco. He loves to sit and chat with them, pulling at his pipe the while and watching them pull at. theirs. He visits and succors them when they are sick or suffering or dying. He invites. them when well to come to bis little chapel and hear hiin preach. The tougher his audience the more earnest are his words, -; the more kindly and gracious is his man- ner. In order to come closer to their hearts he allows the men and even the wo- men, if they wish it, to smoke during 5Lw servloes,
