V. He has spoken. The Spirit said

said, "Separate Ine Balla i ,vas and Saul

VL He Zilai feel and hear. A ,sinner
can resist him (Acts 7:51), tempt him
(Acts 5:9), lie to him (Acts 5:3). The
rebellious can grieve him (Eph. 4:
30). He can be quenched (1 .Chess.
5;10).
VII. He works. In creation the Spirit
brooded over the chaotic mass of mat-
ter and brought order out of confusion
(Gen. 1:2). IIe divideth to every man

this question (chap. 13; 30) nod Thomas
had suggested it (14; 5), but they were
thinking only e` themselves and their
seeming lose. Nowa ;testis i'.fers to the
question in a different light. None of
them asked, 'Whither goest thou, with
time thought in -mind of how it would af-
fect him or how ultimately it might
bless them. Jesus is endeavoring to
cause them to look away from present
trials to the light beyond. 6. Sorrow

they were sorely distressed, so there was
no room for the thoughts •ef God's glory
and the greater good that might come

you are thus pressed in spirit, I tell you
the truth --This solemn affi..mation was
necessary in order to establish the truth
in their minds; it was difficult for them
to believe it. "The '1' is a nip 'I
myself, the objcet of your faith;' '1 who

'--Cnm. Bib, Expedient for you -In go-
ing he • (1) finished the vcrk of the
atonement and (2) declared himself " to
be the Son of God with power , . , . by
the resurrection from the dead "(Rom.
1; 4.) It was not God's plan that his
followers should be dependant for suc-
cess on the limited bodily presence of
Lis Son, but the Comforter, the. Holy
Spirit, was to be the active, omnipresent
agent who should give power and au-
thority to the church. "The bodily must
give place to the spiritual. The dis-
pensation of the Spirit could riot be ush-
ered in while the disciples were changing
to flesh and Blood. therfore it was neces-
sary for Christ, to go in order that the
Spirit might come. "What was obscure

III. MISSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
"Sin cannot be taken from the human
heart, nor the plants of righteousness
made to flourish therein, without the
-work of the Holy Spirit." That the
Spirit has been working is manifest by
the following outline.
"The population of the world is com-
puted at 1,555,000,000, so that the Chris-
tians form slightly more than one-third
of the whole; and there are still a thous-
and million souls outside the Christian
religion. Within the British Empire
there are 400,000.000 people, of whom
less than.e. quarter are listed as Chris-
tians" 'Tru1S' the fields are white and
ready for the harvest (John 4:35).
It is the work of the Spirit to reprove
and enlighten the vast mass of humanity
new sitting in dense s 1stritual dartoses,
Of the Holy Spirit Jesus said, "When 1
he comes, he will reprove the world."
13. Spirit of truth -The Holy Spirit
who knows the truth and cannot err,
Will guide, -Personal guidance, by the
Holy Spirit is here promised. Into all
truth -It is not omniscience or any
kind of -speculative or scientific truth
which. is promised, but the full know-
ledge of living, practical truth as it is
in. Christ, and as it relates to our soul's
salvation. Schaff. Not :speak of hian:self

to the tenchin s of the Father and of
Christ. Things to conte ---Tire Holy Spirit

pertain to experiences which we have
not yet reached. 14. Glorify Me -The
work of the Spirit in convicting, regen-
erating and sanctifying men brings
glory to the Son whose death and resur-
rection made this work possible. Re-
ceive of mine, etc. --•The Spirit takes
words and teachings of Christ and shows
them unto the world. "By this time we
can test any professed revelation. That
spirit cannot be the work of the Spirit"
15. All -art mine -All the fulness of
the Father's being, wisdom, knowledge,

Omnipotence. omniscience, eternity, ab-
solute holiness belong to Christ.
Questions. -Where were Jesus and the
disciples et this time? Wheat persecu-
tions did Jesus say would come to the
disciples? Why did Jesus tell them
about these persecutions? Why were the
disciples sorrowful? W'ny was it ne-
cessary for Christ to leave them ? What
is the office work of the Holy Spirit?
\Vhat is the greatest sin of which the
world is guilty? Why is this so? What
would the Holy Spirit teach? How would
the Spirit glorify Christ? How should
we glorify Christ? Wirat do we need to
fit us for missionary work?

Chatham despatch: E. Desmaris, man-

Stoney Point, last night while walking
about the office suddenly turned ou
command to find two big revolvers
shoved in his face. Two young men made
it clear sweep of the cash and got away.
Desmaris at once notified Chathania
Windsor, Detective Mahoney g g from.
the latter place to work on the case.
The loeal police got word about mid-
night, and at once two officers were put
on the case.
They boarded the eastbound C. P. 11.
at 2 a. m., 'finding there two Englishmen,
who had got on at 1Tayeroft, and in
possession of some $300 between them.
They arrested the pair, especially as one
had a big revolver; while he said he had
no firearms. Both were taken. to the
police station and detained till morning.

proved an alibi so well that, they were
let go, and took the afternoon train east.
The one with the revolver declared he
carried it because lie thought he needed

serpent's tooth enough poison was ex-
tracted in this city yesterday to make
serum that will supply for half a cen-
tury to came the demands of the
world's sufferers from certain diseases,
in combating which the venom acts as

It was the second time in the history
of the world that .the "lance head," a
snake whose very name inspires such.
terror where it is known that few can
be 'fount' to hunt it, has contributed its
invaluable venom to the cause of
ccienee. The list supply was obtain -
in 1838, and has been exhausted. For
years efforts have been made to get
a new yield of the poison,
A splendid specimen of the viper was
captured near the headwater of the
Anmazun by a brave party of hunters,
and only by concealing the nature of
thein captive were they able to get
their prey out of Brazil. It was the
first ever shipped out of the country
and was filially lodged in the snake
house at the Aroex Zoological Park.
The serum is known a`s Lachesis; r
and is injected into (Inc patient in doses
of one one -millionth part of a grain,
so quick and powerful is its counteract-
ing effect.
1 ecause of the dangerous character
of the viper the utmost caution was
necessary in the performance of the op-
eration. When the snake was taken
from its cage by the keepers, D. Hit -
mars, the park curator, seized it quickly
just behind [Inc jaws, at the same time
holding a beaker, the front of which
was covered with it fine piece of gauze
stretched across the opening. The in-
stant the glass was held near its head
the snake struck out its forked tongue
with lightning -like rapidity, its deadly
fangs becoming fastened in the gauze
and the poison dropping to the bottom
of tate glass, Three times woe tine ser-
pent allowed to strike, testi] all of the.
venom in its poison saes was exhausted.
It was a yellowish liquid, the color of
amber and the quantity of it in the
beaker was weighed and found to be
seventeen and three-quarter grains.
After the snake bend been put back in-
to the glass box a skilled chemist poured
the almost invaluable serum into a mor-
tar, such as is need in compounding
drugs, and after mixing into it ninety-
nine parts of sugar and water to every
ane part of poison, began to pound the
whole mass vigorously until it wool re -
deceit to a' White powder. He then put it
into small glass vials, when it was ready
for medicinal purposes. The serum is
valuable in all malignant dieeases, such
as typhoid, scarlet fever and diphtheria,
ne well as for extreme cases of insanity,
melancholia and nervous breakdown.
