INTEBNATLONAL LESSON NO. 1X.
NOVENtEit 27, 1004.
World's Temperance Lesson -Ise'. 28: 1.13.
Commentary. -I. The crown that fad-
eth (vs. 1.4). 1. Woe -Grief; sorrow;
misery, a heavy calamity, a curse. To
the crown of pride -By the crown of
pride the prophet refers to Samaria,
the beautiful capital of Israel: The city
was situated on the top of a round hill
and surrounded by a rich valley. The
drunkards of Ephraim -Ephraim, the
leading tribe of the nation, had become
debased in. vice. They were a tribe of
drunkards, and 'because of this the woe
was upon them. A fading flower -A
very forcible figure. Their beauty and
glory would fade as a flower. They did
not have the riches and beauty that en-
dure. The fat valleys -The valleys
around Samaria were very fertile and
beautiful. Overcome with wine -Wine
causes men to fall an easy victim to
temptation. Alcohol destroys the will
power. The drunkard has a bad choreal-
ter
harea-ter and generally enters recklessly into
the vilest sins.
2. The Lord hath a strong one
-This is a reference to the army of the
Assyrians, which was soon to come upon
them like a devastating storm. The de-
struction would be complete, like a ter-
rific hail storm or a great flood. It
is almost impossible for us to realize the
devastation that would come as the
half -savage hordes swept over the coun-
try, ravaging villages and murdering
women and children.
3. Trodden under foot-Shalmaneser,
with the Assyrian host, invaded, over-
came and carried the people away, never
to return. It is an unsolved problem to
this day where the ten tribes are; whe-
ther they continue to exist or are entire-
ly extinct. All of this was because of
sin, and especially the sin of drunken-
ness.
4. As the first ripe fig (R. V.) -As
the first ripe fruit was eagerly seized
by the fruit gatherer and hastily eaten,
so Samaria would be a delicious morsel
for the Assyrians. It is still true that
trouble and sorrow like an invading army
come upon and destroy those who might
have been happy and prosperous but for
strong drink.
1L The crown of .glory (vs. 5, 6). 5.
Unto the residue -The phophet now
turns from the ten tribes to the two
tribes of Judah and Benjamin, the rem-
nant of God's people, who were to con-
tinue a kingdom for more than a hun-
dred pears after Israel was carried into
captivity. Judah was to be favored and
blessed. Under Hezekiah there was to
be a revival of religion. So, to -day J ebo-
vah will be "a crown of glory" and "a
diadem of beauty" to those who trust
The word and obey I3im.
6. A spirit of judgment -A clear per-
ception of God's truth. A clear head is
promised as well as glory and beauty.
Turn the battle to the gate -Who pur-
sue the fleeing enemy even to the very
gates of their own city. -Clarke. We
have a. spiritual warfare to wage (Eph.
vi. 12), and we are pledged to conquer
the world for Christ.
III. Evils of Strong Drink (vs. 7, 8).
7 -But these also have erred
"Jerusalem as well as Samaria has her
inebriates and scenes of disgusting in-
toxication. Though her punishment is
not as near as that of the northern king-
dom,
inddom, there are seen the works of sure
decline." "Note the effects of strong
drink portrayed in this verse: 1. Erring,
wandering into forbidden ways and pia -
cos. 2. Even the religious teachers led
astray. 3. Wholly absorbed in appetite.
4. They cannot see things as they are,
or judge correctly. 5. The whole life is
perverted." (.cod's ministers need a pare
heart, a clean life and a clear vision.
8. There is no place clean -The liquor
business is a filthy business, and every
one who is engaged in it or has any-
thing to do with it is made filthy by it.
It is the parent of uncleanness. The
body, miud and soul of the one connected
with it become polluted and corrupt.
IV. Precept 'Upon Precept (vs. i)-13).
9, 10. Whom shall he teach, etc. --Many
regard these verses as the words used
by the scoffers as they mocked the pro-
phet. "They treat God's method of deal-
ing with them aced warning them by his
prophets, with contempt and derision.
What, say they, doth he treat us as mere
infants just weaned?. Doth he teach us
like little children, constantly going
over the same easy lessons ?"-Clarke.
We must conceive verse 10 as spoken in
mimicry with a mocking motion of the
head, and in a childish, stammering
tone. -Ewald.
11. Nay (R. V.) -The prophet's reply
begins with thin verse. Isaiah attacks
them with great force and severity,
turning their own language, spoken on
mockery, back upon themselves: "Yes,
it shall be as you say, ye shall be taught
by a strange tongue, and in a strange
land, whither you will he carried into
captivity. Then you will be forced to
]earn like children." 12. This is the rest,
etc. -God had given them repeated and
faithful warnings, pointing out to then
the true rest and the way to obtain it,
but they had closed their ears and
"would not hear," and were going on in
their fancied seetu•ity to certain (lestree-
tion. 13. And fall backard, etc. -They
had had great light, and this nettle then
great sinners, and they deservred a ter-
rible punishment. We cannot violate
God's law with impunity. Those who
persist in their wickedness and spurn
lgis offers of mercy will ultimately be
east from. his presence.
PRACTICAL SURVEY. •
In this lesson, God, by the in' uth of
His prophet, pnnnounces a woe on the
,inhabitants of Ephraim, probably- inellid-
ing the ten tribes. The capital city,
Samaria, is 'referred to its the "Crown
of Pride," and the "glorious beauty
Whish: ie on the bead of the -fat val]ey.rs
1; 01 tliis city and said: "I1 is a fading
Pewee," 2. • God not only accuses the
anen of Ephraim of being drunkards, but
Unapproachable by any Japan tea grown

compares them to a company of men
indulging in strong drink and revelry.
3. Characters of this kind always come
to shame as e. result of their own in-
dulgence. The fertile valley made the
pride of Sam:tria possible. The luxur-
iant vines, with libeir wealth of grapes,
placed a special temptation before the
people. Excessive indulgence was sure
to bring destruction, but intemperance
was not the only sin for which God
would punish Ephraim.
The Loie1 of Ilosts is "a crown of gory
end a diadem of beauty," and "aspirit
sof judgment," and "strength for them
that trust in Him." These are the bless-
ings that God brings to Judah, "the resi-
due of Ilis people." "But they also have
erred through wine, and through strong
drink are out of the way; the priest and
the prophet have erred through strong
drink, they are swallowed up of wine,
they are out of the way through strong
drink, 'they err in vision, they stumble
in judgment." Notwithstanding these
blessings . promised, yet because they
have sinned similar to Ephraim, they
must endure similar punishments. They
aro warned by the prophet, but instead
of receiving his message as from the
Lord, they turn it' to ridicule, intimating
that his suggestions and repetitions will
do for children, but are not worthy of
the notice of men. Yet the judgments
of God came upon Israel -and upon Ju-
dah, notwithstanding 'their disregard of
the warning of the prophet.
Intemperance has been a vice of the
Human family through all time and prob-
ably among all people. We are informed
by a Terson of wide research, that every
race in the world has its intoxicating
drink. While we cannot verify this
statement by recognized historical auth-
ority, so far as we are familiar with the
races of men, ancient and modern, we
are forced to believe•tllat the statement
is true. This universal desire for, or
disposition to drink intoxicating liquor,
must spring from an evil heart,, which is
common to all men. This desire does not
manifest itself in the same manner, nor
is it always accounted for in the same
way. In certain circumstances liquor is
taken to counteract trte neat; under op-
posite conditions it is taken to modify
the cold. At one time to•combat the
wet, and again to hold up the system
through the drought, etc., etc. Of course,
these are only excuses to cover up a dis-
turbed conscience, or, if not a consci-
ence, at least a consciousness that the
practice works disaster in the end to
all who indulge. The liquor drinker in
the beginning is delighted with the wine
cup. As he glides smoothly around the
outer circles of the terrible maelstrom,
to all warnings and entreaties he hon-
estly replies. "I can stop whenever 1
choose." But in the vast majority of
cases he goes too far before he attempts
to stop allyl then finds it impossible.
We will net stop here to discuss what
per cent. of the world's population do
now indulge in ardent spirits, but call
attention to another factor that enters
into the problem, namely, environment.
How many of our staunch temperance
people would be such, had their sur -
roundings and asociations been Iike those
of some of their drinking neighbors 1
Let us thank God if we have escaped
this terrible monster, drink, and be ready
always to extend a helping hand to our
unfortunate brothers and sisters who
have fallen 'victims to its power. Every
Christian and every lover of his race
should array himself on the side of tem-
perance. The curse is to be fought in
every land. The fight should be pushed
on by every good man and woman. Dif-
ferences of method and opinion should
not he alowed to stand in the way, or
divide the forces arrayed against the
evil that is destroying the bodies and
sends of such a mighty army. Let us
"all at it, and always at it."

H. F. CARTER PROMOTED.
Popular Passenger Agent of Southern
Pacific Transferred to St. Paul.
Toronto, Nov. 14. -Mr. Harry F. Car-
ter, for the past three years Canadian
travelling passenger agent for the
Union Sit' Southern Pacific Railway, has
been promoted to the St. Paul office,
being succeeded here by Mr. Goodsell,
of St. Paul. Mr. Carter bad his head-
quarters in Toronto, and during his all
too short stay in this country made a
host of friends, who while pleased at
his promotion will regret exceedingly
that it entails his removal from Toronto.
Mr. Carter has had a long and varied
experience in railroading, and in get-
ting passengers for his road and in
ability to "route" them through has
always been regarded as occupying a
front seat with the "top notchers." It
was not alone in the railroad line, how-
ever, that Harry gained a reputation
during his stay in Canada. His pisca-
torial prowess was such that he was
advertised his loving friends. He,
knew all the "good spots," and granted
a boat, his trusty rod and a box of
Henry Clay .perfectos, was as proud
and happy as a country boy wearing
his first pair of red -topped boots. That
harry did not lay claire to and win the
numerous fishing rods offered for the
capture of the largest bass of the sea.
sous was simply because he bad better
rods of his own, and therefore did not
1 anker after the prize offerings.
Before leaving for St. Paul Mr. Car-
ter was presented with a silver -mounted
umbrella, suitably engraved, as a slight
testimonial of the esteem in which
he was held by the C. P. R. "boys."
Messrs. B. II. Bennett and Foster Chaf-
fee and certain other friends presented
him with a case of pipes. If he can
arrange transportation, Mr. Carter pro-
mises to "look in" on his old friends
in Toronto round about the time the
Woodbine is showing signs of activity
next May.

LEGAL MARRIAGE TANGLE.
Trouble Over Licenses Issued in Ontario
and not Recorded in Quebec.
Toronto, Nor. 14. -.Are • persons mar-
ried in other Provinces under marriage
nlicensied7es obtained. in Ontario legally max -
The Provincial Registrar of Quebec
does not think so, and be has just given
a ruling to that effect, on the ground
that the Lieutenant -Governor of Onta-
rio, by whose authority licenses are is-
sued, has no right to issue them for
other than his own Province.
Three months ago a young Toronton-
Ian took out a license in this city and
went down to Montreal to be married.
PIie .Ontario license authorizes "all or
every minister or clergyman resident in.
the Dominion of Canada, and duly or-
dained or appointed," to perform the
ceremony. This was accepted by the
minister who officio. ted at the marriage
in question. Later proof of the mar-
riage was required in England in connec-
tion with business relating to an es -
e, and it was ;hien. found 'that the Re-
e, had refused to record it for the
reason stated.
The principals brought the matter to
the attention of the Provincial Secre-
tary's Department yesterday, and they
were advised as to the best course to
pursue. The department also promptly
decided that the wording of licenses
hereafter issued will make it quite clear
tnat the parties Making them out must
be married in Ontario. Ministers living
in Canada but not residents of the Pro-
vince will still, of oourae, be entitled to
come to Ontario and perform marriages
under these licenses, when the interested
])artier so desire.

I was advised that my poor health was

but Lydia E. Pinklnarn's Vege-

Bradstreet's on Trade.
Bradstreet's advices say: The whole-
sale trade at 1'1ontreal generally reports
a fair business doing, although the ac-
tivity in no line is at all narked. Trade
sorting orders generally are fair. Consid-
erable shipments are still being made.
There has been some improvements in
remittances during the past week. Com-
plaints are general regarding city collec-
tions, which are reported very slow.
Trade at Toronto is moderately active
ie. a good many lines, and in some de-
partments of trade there is quite a
brisk movement, as in the case of hard-
ware, Heavy shipments are also being
made to take advantage of water
freights. Sorting orders for most de-
partments of trade are fairly good. The
grocers report a normal trade and heavy
dry goods are moving satisfactorily.
Shipments to the Northwest continue
heavy.
Quebec. -Reports from various sec-
tions of the province indicate that trade
during the past week has been some-
what quiet. Shoe manufacturers are
only fairly busy. Country remittances
are still backward.
The wholesale trade at Winnipeg is
active. The delay in marketing the crop
has been responsible for delaying the
rush of fall orders expected, but grain
is now moving rapidly. The demand for
Manitoba grain among United States
and Ontario millers keeps the price firm.
Money is still rather tight.
At Victoria and Vancouver, according
to Bradstreet's, wholesale and retail
trade generally is brisker than it has
been for some little time.
Hamilton trade, aecordinng to Brad. -
street's trade reports, is of good volume.
Orders from the surrounding country are
coming in fairly well. Manufacturers
are busy, and values are steady to firm.
Collections are quiet in some lines, but
the prospects are generally satisfactory.
Wholesale dealers in London report
trade hardly as active in some depart-
ments as it was a week or so ago. s.
The election campaign has had soiue
effect upon Ottawa trade, but there is
a fair movement in all Mines of goods.
MR. LEGAULT
RESIGNS.
A Shake-up in the Montreal Police
Force is the Result.
Montreal, Nov. 14. -Mr. D. Legault,
chief of police, has sent a letter of re-
signation to the chairman of the police
committee, and Policemen Guion and
Sanguinet have been suspended. The
resignation and suspension are both due
to sensational evidence produced in the
Recorder's Court on Friday, to the ef-
fect that the right to deal in vice was
purchaseable at the hands of the chief
of the police force. Two women swore
that on several different occasions thea

had paid money to Legault on the
press understanding that their ho
should not be raided or the oceupan
arrested. Tile chief denied the charge
'but - it seems that in view of previo
difficulty his position was regarded
untenable, and a member of the poli'
committee advised him to resign.
It may be remembered that something
more than a year ago Chief Legault was
found guilty of having appropriated for
his own use liquors that had been seized
by the police, yet he was permitted to
continue in ,office simply because it was
shown that the practice was not with-
out precedent. The ell'arges in the pres-
ent instance are of a much more serious
nature, notwithstanding the faet that
spite may have prompted thein.
The policemen under suspension are
mentioned in connection with the main
charges.
Chief Legault is a little more than 50
years of age. He began life in Mont-
real some years ago as a stonecutter.
Afterwards he engaged in newspaper
work and was employed in the business
office of La Minerre, a well-known
French political organ, during the Con-
servative regime. About 1S93 he was
appointed to a position in the revenue
police of the Province, and shortly after
that was ma.cle head of the department.
His work seemed effective, and when in
.July, 1001, a vacancy occurred in the
city force by the resignation of Chief
Hughes from the position. of Superin-
tendent of Police. Mr. Leganit was ap-
pointed his suceossor. 1..ver since then
he has been subjected to almost con-
stant criticism.

"FIRE AWAY" SAID BRITISH.
"If You do 'not Keep off We Will Fire,"
Was Signaled.
Tangier, Nov. 14. -The Russian fleet
sailed yesterday, making westward.
This is taken to mean that it evil/ fol-
low either the Cape of Good hope or
Cape Horn route. 11 will probably take
the former.
The average speed of the Baltic fleet
between Libau and Vigo was, including
stops. 4 1-6 knots per hour, at which
rate the fleet will reach Vladivostock
on March 9.
A despatch to the Daily Mail from
Tangier states that the Russian Baltic
fleet, on its way to the Far East, in-
tends to only touch at French ports.
Its next stopping place will be it
Dakar, Senegambia. When it reaches
Madagascar all the vessels will be en-
tirely recoaled and revictualed. Admiral
Rojestvensky intended to remain longer
at Tangier, but imperative orders were
received from St. Petersburg Saturday
for the fleet to sail immediately.
The correspondent quotes a navel of-
ficer as saying that Admiral Rojest-
'iensky was annoyed by British war-
ships following him from Vigo. He
signaled to them, "If you do not keep
off we will fire." The British prompt-
ly answered : "Fire away i" The Rus-
sian commander diel not carry out his
threat. Four British warships are fal-
lowing the fleet, nominally going to As-
cension and St. Helena Islands. Great
Britain has arranged for a chain of ships
to keep in touch by means of wirtss
telegraphy, with the Rttsesians, so that
statements made by the officers who
were left behind responsible for the
North Sea incident can always be sub-
mitted to Admiral Poiestvensky for his
verification or otherwise.

City of Mexico, Nov. 14. -Plans for si
$3,000,000 national theatre are being
prepared by John liorrari, a noted arehi-
tett. When completed the building will
compare favorably with any amusement
place in the world. The structure will
not be finished for two years.
The plans have not yef been accepted.
but there as no doubt that they will be.
Indeed so certain are the people who are
backing the enterprise that it will be
accomplished, they are now talk'ng
about the opening night. It is the inten-
tion to make the event memorable. Ala
rangements are already under way to
engage the most notable players for the
opening season.
The Government will lend its pat-
ronage of the great playhouse in more
ways than one. While it is the in-
tention of the management to bring
out the best players and engage the
greatest actors of both continents, all
is to be done at prices which will enable
