Mr. Chamberlain, who was edu- cated at London University School, made an address, in which he said that he believed there was nothing more important than to supply the deficiencies that separated Eng- lishmen from those with whom they came in closest competition, in Germany, America, .Canada and Australia. He said he thought the time was coming when the Govern- ment must give more attention to the higher education of the young men.

Sturtday VII•••••••••11.ffe• INTERNATIONAL LESSON NO. VII. NOVEMBER 16, 1002. The Time of the Todgos.-Judges 2: 7-19. Com muentary.- Explanatory. The judges were the rulers or leaders of Isertel dating the thus tram Joshua to Seed, about three hundred years. There were Intervale during which Israel was without rulers, and there were long intervals of foreign servi- tude and oppreeston under which the Hebrews groaned without deliverers. There was no central government, and too generally "every man did that which was eight in his own eyelet" 7. Served the Lord -During the life- time of Joshua, alai all who lived trial° he ruled, Israel had a good reputation for faith and piety. They regarded all the wonderful blessings ef Gad, and honored Him by godly Ives. From this we sce how deep was the imprint loft upen the nation PRACTICAL SURVEY. Israel's enemies were net for a time In Canaan to "prove them whether they will keep the way of the 'Lord to walk therein." The Lord had pro- mised to drive them out, "little by Little," until they should "inherit the land." Each tribe had a portion of the country allotted to it, which not only constituted a possession, but a field of active conflict on ac- count of heathen enemies within their borders. It was not according to the plan of God to put them in peaceable possession of their inbera tam, with no enemies to oppose or dispoosess, and with no allurements or temptations to de evil, Human Life is probationary in it character. Israel's covenant wi:h the Lord had been broken on their part. A coven- ant Is binding as long as its stipule - done are observed by all of the indi- viduals who have entered into It. The Lord had said to Israel, "I will never break my covenant with you." Israel's digobedience was charged upon them by the angel. He said, "Te have not obeyed my voice," enotead of waging war upon the idolatrous inhabitants of the land, they had placed them under tribute and con- sented for thei . to remain. They had been commanded to "make no league with the inhabitants of the land," and to "throw down their altare." God's people oeght never to make it compromise with evil or the wonkers of inlqutty. Israel's punishment followed -their disobedienoe. ,Their victories over their enemies ceased. Inetcad of driv- ing them out of the laud, the Loyd allowed them to remain. If evils are cot overcome and removed, they will gain a strong hold upon us. God's as - elating grace will be forfeited, and, with Me help withdrawn, our sins will be our tormentors % The enemies of leveel became as thorns in their sides. They were a "snare" to the Lord's people, continually exposing them to the danger% of idolatry. Israel's delivery came after the Lord bad hearth "their groaninge by reason of them that oppresned them and 'vexed them," There Is not an in- dividual on the earth that is groan- ing under oppression, but what the Lord Is. looking upon him with pity. The mercy of the Lord moved Him to "Tenant" of the sufferings He had sent upon Hie chosen people. He "raised them up,„...indgere and deliv- ered them out of the handl; of their enemies an the days of the judgee," In every period of the church's degen- eracy and extremity a deliverer has been aent by the Lord to enlighten and lead His people back into the way of truth and brellne,se. .my thie great and good man.

A. -Well, I examined the neck In this wee Particularly to see if there was any discoloration or injury, and examined the arms, Q. -Why did, you examine them par- ticularly? A.--FIrst, as a matter of routine, and, secondly. because in falls of that kind very often the arms are di -located. Dr. Williams said that in case of td fall be would expect to find other inju.ries, To Mr, Johnston, Dr. Williams geld that one lately might have caueed all the injuries. If sixteen or seven- teen blows, intended to kill, had been given by a strong man like Gerald Sifton lie would expect to find the scalp teen by such blows. The Omit did, uot show the amount of evidence he would expeet it to If it had received sixteen or seven- teen blows such as Herbert had described. He did not think that a man who had received such a blow as Herbert had described could have stood upon the rung of a ladder, Dr. Bingham, lecturer at Trinity University, said that be regarded It as very improbable that a fall would have produced all the injuries that were found on the skull, and be thought it probable that In a fall the forearms would likely be broken. He admittea to Mr. John- son that fifteen or sixteen blows would probably have broken the scalp, and Ire woald not swear that the conditions found in the skull would not have been caused by a fall. The court adjourned at 6.30, on the understanding that if all the evidence is not In toemorrow at 6.80 an evening session will be held, and that the case will go to the jury on Satnrday, Lorition, Out., Nov. 6, -The evidence of the Mordeas, the missing witneste es in the Sefton Murder 'heat, giveni ale the previous trig], was read to the jury to -day. on the opening of the court Mr. Chute applied under 087 of the code for leave to read the evi- dence of Martin and Same Malden, Mr. MeKillop entered the box, 'and swore that on Friday last he bad seen the Mordens in Davenport, Iowa. They would say very little, and re - Emma to cone() to Canada to give evidence, even although all of their expenses were paid. Mr. johnstoe did not object to the reading of the evi- dence, and Mr. Mcleillop read the ex- eteinations In chief and Mr. McEvoy the eross-examinations.

Pr, McCallum Batelle was medical expert for the defence, and in thee ease the assailants struck blows upon tho head, and Were be- spattered pith blood, a condition wanting in the present case. Dr. McWilliams, of Thamesford, gave it as his opinion that the most rea- sonable method of 0;M:ranting for the injuries was that time man fell on his head on eertain objects. To Ur. Clute, the witness said the results were far more likely to have been obtaLued by a fall than by blows. I; Dr, Shaw, of London, said he had made injuries of this kind a special, study. His opinion Was that the marked skull could not, constdering Herbert's evidence, be the skull of Joseph Sitton, Not even, by otroteh- tug much or little could he arrange it in any way that the injuries were done by an axe, Axe Theoey an Impossibility. With something of Mborate detail, the doctor, having the marked skull in Me hands, explained how the body must have fallen, and the injuries been received. In much the same way he detailed how the axe theory was an impassibility. Mr. Irving H. 0, Cameron, of To- ronto, who said he was a fellow of time Royal College of Physiclaus and Surgeons of London. England, and surgeon of five hospitals in Toronto, stated that he could not upon any hypothesis satisfy himself the inju- ries could be done as described by Herbert.

The doctor said he had attend- ed this trial throughent. The injur- ies he had heard described could have been inflicted with an axe. "Taking all the injuries to the skull. I cannot conceive how they could be caused by a fall of 24 feet," 'said the witness. His reason for the statement he explained 'Co be that there must have been sever- al blows on time head received from different directions. There were, he figured, three distinct blows on dif- ferent parts of the skull. "I cannot conceive of the injuries being caused by a fall, and I cannot see how any- one else can," the doctor added. Dr. John Ferguson, of Toronto, the Crown's chief expert, Haiti the in- juries in question were possible to have resulted from blows with an' aste. Is it possible they were caused by a fail? A, -I do not deny the bare possibility. But I =newt Midi:metal:Id how it could take place. To Mr. Johnston witness admitted this case, so far as Medical expert evidence was concerned, met with a good deal of dIffleulty. Dr. Waugh was also called, and, with Dr. Eccles, merely testified Con- cerning the post-mortem and the cause of death. Doctors for Defence. Prof. Ellis, Ontaaio Publie Analyst, was the first witness ealled for the defence. He had, ire said, (=mined the stomach of the deceased and found no trace of strychnine. Upoo the oxo he found mammalian 'blood and some hair. The hair had the aiMearatice of cow's hair, but out teas point he would not be sure. Dr. Arthur Jukes) Johnson, phy- eiclaam to the Toronto Railway Com- pany tor many years, and a coroner, said that apart from Herbert's tes- timony the injuries cOuld have been caused by an axe or by it fall. Tak- ing Herbert's testimony Into ac- count, the injuries could not have been caused by the blows. It would be very difficult to produce these injuries with an axe at all. Mr. I. P. lIelimutle barrister, of Toronto, repeated the story of Wal - tee Herbert's statement to Wm, matle in tho jell on July 26 rine 27. On time 26th he had a conversation With Herbert.
