Beaverton, was brought to the county
lair here on Saturday night, where he
will remain until the Spring Assizes to
anted trial on the charge of :murdering
William 'Murray at Beaverton on the
afternoon of Saturday,, Nov. 12. The lad
was before Magistrate Bruce on Satur-
day, the evidence upon which the oor-
oner's jury found a verdict of murder be-
ing repeated, the result being that Elliott
was formally committed for trial.
Nothing further waselicited at this
court save the fact that Elliott had, in
en interview with his father during the
afternoon. and in the presence of the con-
stable, reiterated his former confession,
declaring that be had committed the
deed, and no one was with bine, adding
the consoling tact that his unfortuneo
victim "died easy."

Re the Partners' Loan Co.
Toronto, Nov. 21. -The way in which
the defunct Farmers' Loan Company
used to do business was illustrated Sat-
urday morning at Osgoode Hall. Mrs.
Ellen Burgess had deposited some $106
with the company on a mortgage, which
they held, but when the books came to
be opened no such transaction appeared
on them. Mrs. Burgesa' receipts, how-
ever, signed by Manager Bethune and
Teller Scott were proof indisputable that
the transaction occurred. The inference
Is that the money is now resting in the
pockets of the defaulters. The court al-
lowed Mrs. Burgess credit for the amount
named.

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.

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 right-
eous need not stumble (ver.. 12; Jude 24
R. V.'), but the wicked; being blind, see
not their stumbling blaiatsa•

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

Mr. Collings is an educated man, s cu-
rate in the church of England, but be be-
lieves in a practical Christianity that feeds

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

mocracy who infest the unreal London of
