He -goats • wore used as sin offering's for princes and for the people on high festival sea- eons- Both goats are for a sin offering, though only one of them is to be slain. sin offering -This offering brought. the sinner into reconciliation with God. It was more general and comprehensive • than the trespass -offering. burnt offer- ing -This offering was wholly consumed. It was a type of the completeness of Christ's sacrifice for the sinner, and also symbolized the complete consecration of the reconciled sinner to Christ. 7. be- fore the Lord -The two goats were pre- eented with their faces to the west, where the holy of holies was, and where the divine majesty was especially reveal- ed. Rawlinson. 8. east lots -Two lots were put into an urn. On one was written, "For the Name," Jehovah being too sacred a word to write, and on the other was written, "For Azazel," the Hebrew for scapegoat. The high priest drew out the lots with both his hands and laid the lots on the heads of the goats. The goat on which • the lot for Jehovah fell was to be slain , as a sin•offering, and the goat on which the lot of Azazel fell was to be sent away into the wilderness. 9, 10. See ' vs. 15, 20-22. II. Offerings for the priests (vs. 6, 11-14). 6, 1I. offer his bullock -On the Day of Atonement a special sin -offering was appointed for the high priest and his house. "The bullock stood between the porch and the altar, with its face to- ward the tabernacle, while the priest faced the worshiping people in the open court in the east. Aaron then laid both his hands upon the head of the bullock and confessed his sins, and the sins of his household, and also those of the priesthood." Eldersheim. The high priest then killed the bullock. The blood , was caught in a vessel. 12, 13. he shall take a censer, etc. -The censer was a vessel in which fire and incense were carried. fire from off the altar -The fire was to be taken from the altar of burnt -offering which stood in the court. This fire had .been kindled by God him- self, and was never allowed to go out. sweet incense-Aromatie spices. Sweet incense was the symbol of prayer. beat- en small -It was pulverized, that, when thrown into the censer, it might instant- ly produce a cloud of smoke, to soften the intense. brightness of the Shekinah between the cherubim. -Steele. within the vail-In the holy of holies. 13. Mercy seat -The cover of the ark was called the mercy -seat. The testi- mony -The two tables of the law. The mercy -sept eovered the law, and was an symbol of the mercy and forgiveness offered the true penitent. That he tie not -The ordinary. priests • burned In- cenee every day at the altar in the sanc- tuary, without the veil, but only once a year, 'after the most careful preparation did the high priest enter into the most holy place; and if he failed in meeting any of the requirements he was liable to die. He must envelop himself in a cloud of incense as he approached into the presence of God. 14. Seven times - , Seven denotes perfection. Sprinkling seven times denoted that a perfect ex- piation was made for sin. III. Various rites established (vs. 15- 19,) 15, Dill. the goat -The high priest next killed the goat 'which had, been elosen as the sin -offering for the people (v, 8.) He than entered the holy of holies for the third time and: sprinkled its blood as he had sprinkled the blood of the bullock. 16. He shall Make an atonement -The blood of the bullock and the goat was now mixed together and sprinkled seven times upon (1) the sanctuary (the holy place), (2) the tab - eructate of the congregation, and (3) the altar -probably the altar of incense had the blood upon 1t (illxod. 30; 10.) "The object of this, solemn eeremonial was to impress the minds of the Israelites with. the eoniviiction that the whole taberna- cle was stained by the sins of a guilty people, that by their sine they had for- feited the privileges of the divine pre- sence and worship, and that an atone- ment had to be made as the condition of God's remaining with. them." -Js, F. B. 17. During the time the high priest performed these rites the inferior priests could not enter the tabernacle,. IV. The scapegoat (vs. 20-22.) ; Verse 10 records the statement of what was actually dose at this time. In the slain goat we see the first aspect of the atone- ment, the sin actually taken away. "The word `Azazel' is regarded by many as a proper name for 'the utterly banished demon,' the prince of evil spirits; and the sin -laden goat was thus; baniehed to the desolate regions of the prince of darkness. Others regard the word as meaning `complete separation,' and the sins represented by the seapeboat were eompletelyremoved-even as far as the fine for sins." His' sacrifice provides all east is from the west." The atone'Inent i.. ,necessary 'agencies.. By one offering he had been made, but the consciences • of hath perfected forever them that are the people were not 'yet free from a • sanctified." "For if the blood of bulls sense of 'personal 'guilt and sin. Lav- and goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself with- out spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Gad." It secures completeness of privi- lege. "The priests went always into the first tabernacle," but "into the second went the high priest alone." "The Holy Ghost this signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest." Christ has ."consecrated for us a new and living way." Simultan- eously with the expiring cry of the Son of God occurred the reading "from the top to the bottom" of the massive vail separating the holy from the most holy. It means alI privileges for all believers. "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter , into the holiest by the blood of Jesus....let us draw near....in full as- surance of faith." • Sin' confessed. Before scapegoat could typically bear away the transgressions of the people, the high priest with his hands upon its head confessed, and after the same manner transferred to it his own sins and those of the people. Con- fessioxi is still needful, not on the part of the interests of each. Christ has made •'the priest, but of those who would re - atonement in order to acceptance. So, andel^ the fuller and eanklitding dispensa- tion not even ' the holiest serviee of humanity can be accepted or reward be- stowed on the basis of its own merit, We are "complete" only "in him."

Hence "he needeth not as those priests to offer up sacrifice first for ]lis own sins, and then for the people's." "He bath an unchange- able priesthood." Under the law "they were not suffered to continue by reason 'If death, But this . man "continueth .leer," and liveth "to make intercession." One sacrifice sufficient. The benefits' of his atonement are permanent. "In those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year." For, having only "a shadow," it can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the com- ers thereunto perfect. "But now oncein the end of the world Christ 'bath -appear- ed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself," and has offered.'"one sacrifice for sins forever." "Where remission .of these is, there remaineth no more saeri- big both his hands on the head of the seapegoat, the high priest confessed: the sins of the people and made an earnest plea to God for them. After the con- fession the goat was committed to the charge of some person previously chosen, for the purpose, and carried away into the wilderness. where it was set at lib- erty.-Edersheim. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. The law has a "shadow of good things to come," for which both light and sub- stance are necessary. The light which out lines these "figures of the true," is the great eternal purpose of redemption. The substance here represented is the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ, in "whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead," and who "gave himself that he might redeem us" Atonemeut. At -one -meat includes both the means and results. It presupposes both legal and moral antagonism between the creature and the creator, Sin and separation are synonymous. "Your in- iquities have separated between you and your God." As 'a result, men are `ene- o e -.on Mies to God" Teffect a reeonenlatn there must be a daysman who can put his hands on both and unite in himself Christ were "laid the iniquities of us all," "Ile bare our sine in his own body on the tree."

Paris, Aug.� 5. -About the biggest idiot in Corea, le the description of e new Emperor, given by Joseph De La Teziere, a French painter, now residing in Paris, who spent several years in. Seoul. He 'says; "Ile used to follow his father about like a dog, never showed the slightest energy or initiative, and is just the right kind of ruler for the Japanese. What is not his fault, poor fellow, is that he is frightfully short-sighted, and Court eti- quette forbade him to wear glasses in the Emperor's presence, even in the pal- ace, where every article' of furniture is considered part of his Imperial Majesty. The Prince consequently had to go about• all the time accompanied by two eunuchs almost ay! if he were blind.

Tie was :` cant ,ftirtl e redeem them that were under the law," It is declared that "without the shedding of blood there is no remission.": "So Christ was once offeredto bear the sins of many." and "by his own blood," typi- fied by that of the ceremonial sacrifice, "has entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us" "For Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven it self, now to appear in the presence of God for us." Even the altars and instruments of exec ion, Christ never -acknowledged in, acether in character or conduct, to God or man. "In him is no sin." "If tete confess our sins, he is faithful and Suit to forgive our sins." "He that cov- eretll his sins shall not prosper, but who- seever confesseth and forsaketh them, shall find mercy." All sin must be con- fessed to God, as an offence against his holiness, rebellion against his govern- ment, ,an affront to his mercy, and to our fellows as far as they have suffered personal injury thereby.

Linens are proving one of the most popular lines of wear. Values in this line, as in many others, are firm. There' is a growing tendecoy on the part of tho. purchasing public to buy mostly the better class of goods. The steady advances in prices have lessened the differeece between the cheap and the better lines and the latter are more In demand.

Country trade is showing a geod tone and collections are generally fair. Dairy exports still are light. Butter and cheese are generally steady to: easy. Hides again show an easy tone.
