Jonah lopairs the Temple -72 Dings 12: 4.14.
:Commentary. -The reformation under
Joash began at the time of the corona-
"betweeri the Lord and the 1' ing and
the people," and "between the King. al-
so and the people," that they "would be
mon. 1. A solemn covenant was made
the the Lord's people". (2 Kings 11:
17). 2 Baal'worship was immediately
overthrown. "Froth the inner court of
the temple, which was tJ.ie scene of .the
coronation, the multitudes, beyond all
doubt encouraged by Jehoiada, stream-
ed forth ,to •the neighboring seat of idol
worship,' bent upon its complete defini-

There are some.`lessons'to be gath
from this history. P. When God's ho

emphasizes the thought that the sec
work of the Church should be so or
ized that the best methods will be ad
ed, in order to elicit and maintain
confidence and generosity of the pe
toward its affairs. Success can never
attend that Church whose funds are not
applied in the right way and with busi-•
ness-like methods. 3. The proper way to
raise money for God's work is not by the
modern grab-bag, oyster supper, fun -
making methods now so • generally used
by the churches; but by the willing and
liberal free-will offerings of the people.

This plan proved a failure. 1. Proba-
bly the priests took but little inter-
est. 2. Perhaps the people were afraid
to trust the priests. "There are those
in our churches to -day who imbibe too
much of the spirit of these priests.
7. Called for Jehoiada.-It is strange
that the high priest should be negligent;
but he was a very old man (2 Chron.
24: 15), even if ,,with most critics, we
read one hundred and.three, instead of
one ]hundred and thirty years.. He had
become accustomed to the dilapidated
state of the temple, and perhaps sym-
pathized with ;the priests in their reas-
ons for delay.-Peloubet. Receive no

changed, and the collection which had at
first been ordered was now to cease.
S. -The priests consented-They
for them, and
found the work too great,
were no doubt glad to be relieved.
0. Took a chest -This was done by
• direction of• the king (II.' Citron. xxiv:
3), and was "a much more popular meas-
ure than the one tried before." Joash
did not' become discouraged, but when
he failed on one line be tried another.
Bored a hole -The chest was locked and
bad a hole bored in its lid. just large
enough to admit pieces of selves. It was
placed beside the great brazen altar
which stood in the priests' court. It
was therefore outside of the temple pro-
per.
X. The temple repaired. (vs. 10-15).
10 Much money --•The new plan had put
life into the work. The givers saw that
others were giving and that success was
likely to attend their efforts, and' ac-
cordingly there was money in abundance.
From verse 16 we see that the money for
the support of the priests was not given
with the other, so that every person
knew .exactly for what. purpose, his gifts
were used. "Joy and delight in the ob-
ject make liberal givers,' The king's
scribe, e e. -It appears'by comparing II
• Chron. axis. 11 that the chest was car-
ried unopened into the, king's :office and•
that the money was placed in charge of
two responsible persons, who put it in
bags, counted and marked, ready to be
paid out to the workmen.

Bradstreet's on Trade.
At Montreal. according to Bradstreet's
advices, the wholsesale jobbers in all
lines report a continuance of the brisk
trade that nas existed throughout the
early fall. In many lines there has been
some stimulation on account of the cool
weather. Winter goods generally con-
tinue to move freely and in some depart-
ments travellers have begun' to offer
goods for the spring season. The out-
look favor a continuation of satisfac-
tory conditions, although there has been
a noticeable slowness in remittances dur-
there seems to
Trade at Toronto continues in a
satisfactory condition. Winter goods gen-
erally are moving freely and in many
branches of business sorting orders are
coming forward in considerable volume.
Hardware dealers are particularly busy.
Dry goods jobbers also report an active
enquiry for ail lines of seasonable goods.
The grocers have bright reports to pre-
sent, and throughout trade generally col-
lections and remittances are fair. Values
of manufactured goods are steady.
At Quebec the trade situation of the
past week is reported fully as good as
the preceding week, in some quarters
better.
Victoria -Vancouver -The demand from
interior points for all lines of staple
goods continue brisk. Sorting orders have
in some lines almost depleted stocks and
values generally are firm.
Winnipeg -Trade prospects are bright;
as they are bound to be, when farmers
are busy getting rid of a big crop of
wheat with prices at the dollar mark.
The retailers continue to send good rr-
ders in all lines of goods that are at pre-
sent in season and' prices generally Ire
steady with hardening tendenoiis to
some departments,
The development of trade for winter
goods at Hamilton continues and there
is now a fairly steady inflow of ',rdtrs.
The wholesale houses are still busy ship-
ping goods and sorting orders in lawny
departments are good. The business out-
look continues promising and prices are
firm.
Reports to Bradstreet's front London
say, the outlook for trade there is satis-

continues in good condition.
