The Ten Commandments—Duties To-
ward Men.—Exod. zo: 12-17.
Commentary, --•I. The fifth com nand-
rnen't (v. 12), This commandment is a
connecting Link between the first and
second tablas• of the law, and properly
belongs to both. Whedon has put it in
the first table, 12. Honor—This means
snore than to obey, it is to treat with
reverence and affection, No ohild is re-
quired to do wrong at the command of
a wicked parent, but still the child
should love his parents even 'though they
may be suiholy and unlovely: Thy father
and thy mother—There is a degree of af-
fectionate respect which is owing to
parents, that no person else can properly
claim. For a considerable time parents'
stand, as it were, in the place of God to
their children, and therefore rebellion
against tx:leir lawful!'cornmantilsi Ras
been considered as rebellion against God.
Thus precept therefore prohibits, not
only all injurious act, and irreverent and
unkind speeches to parents, but enjoins
all necessary acts of kindness, filial res-
pect and obedience. We can scarcely sup-
pose that a man Honors his parents who,
when they fall weak, blind or nick, does
• not exert himself to the utmost for their
support. In such cases God as truly i s-
quires the children to provide for their
parents/ as he required the parents to
•support and instruct the children when
they were helpless and dependent. —
Clarke. "By Oriental custom, the terms
father and mother, are by no means lim-
ited to one's natural parents, but are ap-
plicable to superiors in years, or in wis
' dom, or in civil or religious station. We
should honor those who are over us in
the Lord, as the representatives of the
Lord." See chap. 21. 15, 17; Lev. 10., 3;
Prov. 30, 17; Heb. 12. 9. That thy days
may be long :The apostle calls this the
first commandment with promise (Eph.,
6. 2). It is the only one in the decalogue
to which a special promise is attached.
From this we may learn, in some mea-
sure, how important the duty is in the
sight of God. Most of those who come
to an untimely end are obliged to con -
fees that breaking this commandment
and the fourth was the first cause of
their ruin. Upon the land, etc. —1. The
nation shall be 'permanent in the pro-
mised land. 2. The individual life shall
be long, implying happiness, peace and
prosperity.—Peloubet. While in its pri-
anary meaning this is to be understood
as referring to the promised land, the
land of Canaan, yet " the wider scope
which this commandment has, as being
grounded in the nature of the family and
as alike .binding upon all men, it is to
he understood of the land or country'
of any and every individual." Children
should' honor their parents, because: 1.
Parents have authority authority•by divine right.
God has commanded it. 2. Parents are
wiser than children: -3. Most parenic . de'
more • for •the ellitdren £ban the children
can possibly repay. 4. True affection
prompts• obedience to this command. 5.
!Self-respect demands it. 6. Blessings are
attached to it. 7. In the future children
will need a like respect shown them.
1 Bow can we honor our parents. 1. By
' loving them. 2. By obeying them. 3. By
showing them due respect in the pres-
ence of others. 4. By tenderly minister-
ing to their necessities. There are many
notable examples: Jesus was higher +ban
the kings of earth, yet he was subject
to His parents. He honored and obeyed
them. Joseph on the Egyptian throne
honored and reverenced his aged father.
Solomon •showed a. like respect to his
mother, beefing himself unto her and
giving her a place at his right hand.
I1. The sixth commandment (v. 13).
13. Thou shalt not kill—The murderer is
regarded as one who wickedly destroys
Gods' linage in man, and so most basely
. assaults God Himself. Suicide is accord-
ingiy prohibited bythis commandment.
The Hebrew legislation everywhere em-
phasizes the sacredness of human life.
All the precepts in chapter 21, 12-30, aim.
to guard life from violence. If any man
' by carelessness or neglect occasioned the
death of another, he brought blood
.guiltiness upon his house (Deet. 22, 8).
A murder by an unknown hand would
' pollute the very land in. which it was
committed until suitable expiation were
made (Dent. 21,1-9). Our Lord took up
this law for special treatment, and
taught that he who cherished anger
i against his neighbor was guilty before
! God of the spirit of murder (Matt. 5,
121-24). John also enlarges on the same
profound idea (I. John 2, 9-11; 3, 12-15).
.As not having„gny'u$her God instead. of
Jehovah is at the basis of the laws of the
.first table, so not hating one's neighbor
is at the basis of 'nil those of the second.
' Hence the two great positive commands,
1iuclusive of .all others: 1. '.Chou shalt
love the Lord with all thy heart. 2.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Wheel. 'Oom.. "Our own life should be
held sacred and we are to do nothing
' that will shorten or destroy it, as by
it we are enabled to serve God and bless
our fellow men." The person who takes
bis own life performs a. cowardly and
winked act. Dissipation, drunkenness,
and sins against the body that unfit' it
for usefulness and shorten life, are vio-
lations of this commandment. It is gen
orally supposed that there are cases
where the killing of another might 'be
justifiable, as: 1. In the execution of
justice. 2. In self-defence. But even in
this there is a difference of opinion
among good men. Note 1. Human life
is precious. 2. It is a sacred trust. 3.
Clhristiaxaity puts,_ o high estimate upon.
it. 4. We should do nothing to destroy
st, either in ourselves or others.
111. The seventh commandment (v. 14).
Thou shalt not commit adultery—The
Violation of this commandment means
the destruction of the home and family,
an institution ordained . of God and rie-
' nessetry to the building" up of his king -
those fleshly lusts which produce those
acts and was against the soul, and all.
those thoughts or practices which cher-
ish and excite those fleshly lusts, as
looking in order to lust, which Christ.
has expressly forbidden (Matt. 5, 28),"
It also forbids all those unholy amuse
went§ which lead souls into pin, such as
theatre -going and dancing; and also 'est more, when. 1 conic again I will re-
„�, 'ppay thee. Which now of these three,
thillkest thou, was nloighbor unto him
that fell among the thieves? And he
said, He that showed mercy on him. Then
said. Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou
likewise" (Luke 10, 30-37), Our lesson
reveals that love to our neighbor is,
L Imperative. "Thou shalt love"
;l(114att, 22, 39). Again and again we are
given the precept, Love one another"(L
;Pet, 1, 22; I. John, 3, 23) .
II. Individual "Love thy neighbor"
(i41•att. 22, 39). Not thy neighbors, mak-
ing it a public, wholesale endeavor, but
thy neighbor, single 'individuals who
have your divine affection day by day
;as you have opportunity, and there are
always opportunities.
I11. Impartial. ""Thy: neighbor" (Matt,
22, 39). Not tliy goad, or kind, or polite,
or generous neighbor, but "thy neigli-
bar," though he be neither good, nor
kind, nor polite, nor generous.
IV'. Interminable. "As thyself" (Matt.
22, 39). Love to hide thy neighbor's
Failings es thou dost hide thine own
'own (Phil. 4, 8). Love to see thy neigh-
. bors' excellencies as thou dost of thine
`own (Phil. 4, 8).•Love to se thy neigh-
bor prosper as thou dost love to see thy-
self (Rom. 12, 15; Prov. 3, 28), Love to
}, do for your neighbor exactly what you
would do for yourself (Matt. 7, 12;
oxl::him, and went to him and bound up
his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his own beast, and brought
bim to an inn, and took care of hien,
And on the morrow when he departed,
he took out two pence and gave thein
to the host, acrd said unto him, Take
care of him, and whatseever thou spend -
looking at obscene 1)icturee1 reading i
pure literature, and telling lewd. stories.
These things'are debasing, degrading and
soul-destroying.
"He who created man in his own im-
age created them male and female (Gen„
1. 27), and declared that a man and his
wife should be regarded as one flesh„;
(Gen. ii. 24.) Compare Matt. xix. #l,
Mark x. 2-12. Weighty and suggestive
also, are the apostle's words in Bpli v
23-33. A sound scriptural viewof;thls
subject shows the crim'inility of biganey ,
and polygamy. Although these aboinii-
able evils forced themselves into the do.
nestle life of patriarchs and other dis-
tinguished men of Old Testament times.,.
the law of God and nature has ever
frowned upon them, and pursued them
with a curse. Our Lord showed clearly
that these sins had been tolerated be
cause of the people's perversity, in spite'
of the original law and commandment'
He not only re -announced the anbien
law, but gave it abnoadcr scope -an'
deeper significance (Matt. v. 28); i'nclud
ing fornication and all sensual4iiele
nese under its prohibition, and liniitins
the rights of divorce to one cruse only.'
—Terry.
The Eighth Comandment'.(v,.15.
15. Thou .shalt not steal—The rights o
property are of divine appiontment;"gyri Boni. 15, 2). "Hereby perceive we the
we refrain from claiming as our own the
which now belongs to another.—TrUm�
bull.
V. The Ninth Commandment (v. 16.)
False witness—This is the worst form of
lying and includes all other tonna.
"Truthfulness is the only other condition
on which human intercourse is possible,
and it lies at the foundation of all per-
sonal character " Lying is one of the
worst sins, because it leads to the eom-
mission of other sins, and seeks to.eover
wrong doing. This commandment for-
bids perjury, false oaths, tale -bearing,
slander, backbiting, and evil speai'king, or
anything that would in any way injure
another in his gods, person or character.
See Lev. xix. 16; Dent. xix. 10-19; Prov.
xii. 22; Eph. iv. 31; Titus iii. 2; James
iv. 11.
VI. The Tenth Commandment (v. 17.)
17. Thou shalt not covet—This is the
onl yone of the commandments• which
treats solely of sins of the mind and
heart, and in so doing it strikes' at the
very root of all sin, for every sin is born
of desire (Mark vii. 21. 22; James i. 14,
15), and there would be no sin commit-
ted if this commandment were perfectly
kept (Rom. vii. 7.)—Todd. "The word
`covet' occurs some twenty times in the
Hebrey Scriptures, and is commonliy,
translated desire. One may
w
properly
d
;
sire everything lawful and,good,b
one can look with longing 'ng.n orian
session of his neirhbnr's without violates
ing this commandment,"
1. Love respects authority (v. 12).1'A
speaker in a -children's mission asked,
"Boys, a kite is a good thing, isn't it?"
A bright little fellow answered, "Yes,
sir, but it is not worth much when it
breaks loose." "Stop right there," said
the speaker. "I want to ask you a ques-
tion; how much is a boy worth when
he breaks loose?" He understood and
the children all agreed that 'a boy who
broke loose was not worth much. Ad-
roitly they were led to testify against
the habit of breaking loose from paren-
tal restraint, from the teacher's au-
thority, and from the loving rule of
Christ.
2. Love cannot murder (v. 13). Love
never takes life. Love lays down its
Own (1 John 3; 15, 16). Love, keeps the
precept; "All things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you. do ye even
,so to them; for this is the law." (Matt.
7, 12).
3. Love is pure (v. 14). It is lust, the
counterfeit of love, which works ruin
and wrecks homes (Matt. 5. 38), A true
lover of mother, sister. wife or sweet-
heart 1vil1 'keep his th.oughit lands VW
pure, and will honor and protect all wui-
manhod.
4. Love is generous (v. 15). Love,.will
give and "lend, hoping for nothing"
(Luke 6. 35); love will neither buy,, nor
borrow not intending to pay 'again
(Rom. 13. 8). Love seeketh not her own
(1 Cor. 13. 5).
5. Love speaks true (v. 16). A little
girl's answer to, "What is a falsehood?".
was "I4 is when nobody did anything
and somebody went and told of it." Love
tells no tales, Love never ,slanders, never
misrepresents, never pretends. Lot e4
never snakes engagements which it do
not intend to keep. Love never deceit/
Love thinketh no evil. much less speft1
it (1 Cor. 13. 5). Love "rejoiceth it
the truth" '(1 Cor. 13. 6).'
6. Love never desires a neighbor's
blessings—(v. 17. Love will covet earn-
estly (be zealous .for) the best gifts 'of
God (1 Cor. 12. 3.1); it will never desire.'.
the gold and garments of men (Josh x.
i
21; 2 Kings 5. 21, 22). The life of love
is "without covetousness" (love of •sit .
ver), for it is "content with sueh, thingef
as God gives (Heb. 13. 1, 5.)
love of God, because He laid down His
life for us; and 've ought to lay clown
our lives for the brethren" (I. John 3,
16). A. C. M.
q°m
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy-
self" (Matt. 19, 19). Neighbor is from
a. word signifying "close by?' Tho ques-
tion, "who is my neighbor?" was one day
answered by Jesus. in the following inci-
dent: "A certain pian went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves, which stripped him of his rai-
ment, and wounded him, and departed,
leaving him half dead. And by °liance
there came down a `certain priest that
way; and when he . saw him, he passed
by on the other side, And likewise a
Levite, when he was at the plate, came
and looked on liitn, and passed by' ori
the other side. But it certain Samaritan,

6OUD[ DEAD.
BANK CLERK WHO, STOLE £169iooe
DIES IN PARKHURST PRISON.
Amazing Dupe -Swindled Out of Thou-
' sands by Betting Gang—The Dupe
of Rogues.
A London cable says: Thomas Peter-
son Goudie, the bank clerk, who was in
February, 1902, sentenced to ten years'
penal servitude in connection with the
sensational frauds perpetrated on the
Bank of Liverpool, died on Saturday in
Parkhurst Prison Hospital, Goudie, who
was barely thirty-four years of age, had
been suffering from heart affection.
'Gaining the confidence of his super-.
iors by his methodical and zealous be-
haviour, Goudie, who was a native or
Shetland, by ingenious)I manipulations of
Sus books, swindled. ;the bank of Liver -
poo louta..l�000.
o f over e i„,
The frauds eaten -1.N over several
years, and only car :.. o light when a
well-known soap manufacturer was in-
formed that he had overdrawn his ac-
count at the bank, when he knew that
there was a considerable {sum to his
credit. Waiting until the last moment,
Gaudie calmly walked out of the bank
and disappeared. The whole country
was scouredby the police from end to
end, and at last he was discovered in
Biding at Bootle, a few miles from Liv-
erpool.
Little by little, after his arrest, the
story of the frauds came out, and the
police arrested' several men, three of
whom, "Dick" Burge, Kelly and Stiles,
were charged along with Goudie with
forgery, fraud and conspiracy, and
false pretences. Burge, like Goudie,
was sentenced to ten years' penal servi-
tude, while Kelly and Stiles, who plead-
ed guilty to conspiracy to defraud, were
sent to hard labor for two years.
Goudie, on the witness box, told how
through betting on racehorses he got
into debt and forged a cheque for £100.
Then he got into the hands of Burge and
the others and appeared to have become
their dupe, for little of the proceeds` of
the forgeries went into his pocket.
From a few pounds his wagers which he
entrusted to the others, -ran into hun-
dreds and thousands of pounds. In one
week he lost £25,000, and in 'cover his
losses stole from the hank. In the wit-
ness box Burge told how he acquired in-
nocently g38.000 of the 491,000 which
was got out of Goldie in less' than a
month,
Tw•o other men who were implicated
in. the frauds took to flight. One, "Lar-
ry" Marks, was reported, to have
thrown himself into the sea from a liner
and was drowned. The other, James
dances, who, according to .Goodie's
tbonfession, was the man who mainly in-
ueed him to enter on his desperate bet -
,ling deals, fled to .America, and was
sever brought back to this 'country.
Over £100,000 of the £160,000 stolen
was disgorged by the accused. The fact
that Goudie was said to have received
ifily £4,268, out of which he repaid
x£457, shows to what extent he was the
dupe of the others.

TOBACCO TRUST.
PETITION TO BREAK UP THE WOPX-
ING AGREEMENT.
eNw York, July 15,—The Goveinrmsemt-
to-day filed in the United States eironit
court in this city a petition against tbs.
American Tobacco Co., the Imperial To-
bacco Co., the British -American Tobacco
Co., the American Snuff Co., the Ameri-
can Cigar Co., the "United Cigar Store&
Co,, the American Stogie Co., the Mac- ;
Andrews & Forbes Co., the Conley Fon
Co., and 56 other corporations and time..
ty-nine individuals connected with 'tbsa'
named companies. There corporation*
and individuals constitute what is gen-
erally known as the "tobacco trust," and ;
the petition is directed against them te''
dissolve this trust by breaking up tins
agreements under which the consolidated
concerns are working. In showing tiler
growth of the "trust" since its organizes -
tion in 1890 the conclusion is reacbecl
that at an early day, unless preventerle
it would completely monopolize the eve
tire tobacco nidustry.
Reoeipts of live stock at the city market,
as reported by tee railways, were 67 carloads,
composed of 887 .cattle,, .eu hogs, 1189 sheep
and lambs. 412 calves and 23 horses. There
were a few lots of good cattle, but many
more of common, medium and inferior.
Trade was good for .the oast cattle and the
poorer grades sold for 'inore than they were
worth. There ware some old cows, that were
calves from 15 to 16 years ago, that were
sold early in the day, and more choice cat-
tle would have found ready sale.
]3zporters—WIth the exception of a few
bulls there were no export cattle on sale.
Bulls sold from 54.40 tv $4.90 per cwt.
But`ghors--Gearge Rowntree, who bought 8
loads t cattle for the Harris Abattoir
Co., re J'i';jlj•!Oesns follows : Best butch-
ers $5Y: o $•$.50 per cwt.; fair to good cattle,
5560 to `$4.90; cows, $3 to 54.26 per cwt.
Feeders and Stockers—There was little
buelness transacted in the stocker and feeder
classes ,and prices were reported as un-
drap=ed.
Milch Cows—Trade in milkers and spring-
ers was dull, especially for the common
light classes. Common cows sold at $25 to
$30; medium, $35 to $45, and the best were re-
ported at 545 to $55 each.
Veal Calves—Deliveries of veal calves
were large, over 400. Prices ranged from
$4 to 56,50 per cwt.; the bulk selling at 56
to 56 per cwt.; choice new milk fed calves
are worth $7, but few of this class are be-
ing offered,
Sheep and Lambs—Export ewes sold at 54.60
to $4.80' per cw .; bucks, 53.60 to $4; lambs,
$3.50 to 55.30 each for bulk offerings, or $3
to 58,50 per cwt., Or in ether words, Be to
8 1-2e per lb., live weight.
Hogs—Receipts of bogs were light. Mr.
Barris advanced prices 16o per cwt., and
quoted selects at $6.75 and lights and fats
at 56.50 per cwt.

Bradstreet's Trade Review.
Montreal --The dry goods trade now re-
ports a brisk business in all lines of sum-
mer goods. Sorting orders are coming
forward well and any lines which were
quite slow last month are now moving
briskly. Values generally are firm, The
Canadian Colored Cotton Mills have is-
sued new lists showing advances of as
much as fifteen to twenty per cent. on
some of the cheaper lines. Threads are
