In the new dispensation we have the Ohrietian Sabbath which is observ- ed on tikt first day of the week, tidied the Lord's day, beeauee on that day Chase rose from the tomb bringing new hope and life to the world. 1. Love has "no other gods" (v. 3). When we love God with all the heart (Dent. vi. 6), which "la the first and great commandment" (Matt. 22. 38), we put eeither friends, fame, money nee pleasure in Lis place, We seek always 1 his glory, knowing it is our highest good. We do not love anything for its sake, nor for our sake, so we may love every- thing for his sake all we can. 2. Love makes no "Graven image" (y. 4). The most perfeee object in the uni- verse is utterly inadequate to reveal God. No image of God that Man can make can in the slightest degree portray him. Love resents every effort to re- present its object as bird or beast or serpent. Love sees the God -man, Clusist Jesus, as "the image of the invisible God" (Cob 1. 15), "the express linage of his person"(Bob. 1. 3), and is jeal- ous of any other. 3, Love reverences God's name (v. 7). hove will (1) /lever use profane lang- uage; (2) never take an oath (Math 5. 34-37; Jas, 5. 12); (3) never utter God's name frivolously or lightly; (4) never speak irreverently of His book, Ms day or Hie works; (5) never jest about holy things; (0) never use such attributes of the Almighty as "Good- ness," "Gracious," "Mercy," "Patience!" (7) never surround m Bible verse orterm with a. ludicrous or unholy association; (8) never criticize the Scriptures or put them on a level with common things; (0) eover enter into an intellectual, con- troversial discussion of divine doctrine; (l0) never indulge in "wooden swearing," the anger which vents itself in slamming doors or kicking furniture. 4. Love keeps the Lord's day (v. 8). The Sabbath, or seventh day, was a Jew - eh institution. The Jew was commanded to keep it, It belonged to Israel and to earthly rest. It pertained to law. "Law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth." "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all" (Joe 2. 10, R. V.) if a man were "suspended over a preci- pice by a chain of ten link s and one of them were to break, his death would be as certain and terrible as if every link had been broken. The least infringement of the least commandment puts the law- breaker under the curse as surely as if he had broken them all. "The law hath been our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith is come we are no long- er under a tutor" (Gal. 3. 24, 25, R. V.) We "are not under the law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin, be- cause we are not under the law?. - .God forbid" (Rom. 6. 14. 15.) God's authority. his right to declare His will as expressed by the decalogue is unquestioned. When we consider the fact that He is our Creator, that He has endowed us with reason and the knowl- Age of right, and has bestowed upon us the power of choice, we readily admit His authority.. He knows the depths ot eur natures, He knows our purposes, He knows, not the past and present only, but all the future, and has He not the right to direct us? Who is it that ob- jects to this arrangement? It is he who imagines himself to be independent of God, who is self-sufficient, who is self- centered. The arm of man is raised in vain against the authority of God. If he does not become the happy possessor of the blessings of obedience to the di- vine commands, he will suffer the pen- alty affixed to the violation of that same law. God's law is supreme, and even if justice is seasoned with mercy the punishment attached to the trans- gression of the commands will surely follow. Man cannot deceive God. Man's welfare. God is not arbitrary in Ills government. For each command- ment given there is a reason. It is be- cause that man's condition is the best who loves and worships only the true and the living God, that He has pro- claimed the first commandment, and also the second. He who loves, adores and reverences God is as peaceful and happy as a mortal can be; hence he has given us the third commandment to restrain us from a course of irreverence. Be- cause man needs one day in seven for rest and worship, God has appointed the Sabbath to be observed through all time. Jesus emphasized this truth when He said that "The Sabbath was made for man." God's day spent in worship, in listening to His truth, in holy medita- tion, with worldly cares and thoughts put aside, inevitably results in an in- mrease of spirituality. It matters not which of the ten commandments we ex- amine, we are -certain that its proper observance will bring to the one who keeps it inestimable benefit. This is true of communities and nations as well as of individuate. LESSON II.-,ejULY rat Inv. The Ten Commandments"-Dutiea Toward God.-Exod, 2Q:xis Comentary.-I. God's greatness (vs, 1, 2).

Afterward God wrote the law with His own finger on two tables of stone, and to -day He writes it on the "fleshly tables of our hearts." These words -The words impok- en are generally called the ten command- ments; although they are sometimes called the moral law, "because they lay down rules for the conduct of mem" They are also called the decalogue. In the Old Testament they are called a cov- enant (Dente 4, 13), or testimony. "They are the simple words of Godes loving covenant to his people, and not arbi- trary commandments to His subjects." "The divine authorship of the command- ments is proved by their astonishing un- likeness to anything man has ever writ- ten, There is nothing comparable to them in all the literature of Egypt, from which Moses and his people had come." 2, I ani the Lord thy God -"Jehovah, self -existent, independent, eternal, the fountain of all being and power, lie that gives being, may give law, there- fore He is able to reward obedience, and punish disobedience.

To ,love Him is the foundation of all true reli- gion. 7 -Because apart from Him there' is no true happiness. It is not necessary to actually bow down before dumb idols to be spiritual idolaters. Whatever we hold first in our affections is our god. It may be ourselves, or our possessions, or the honors and delights of this world, or it may be our heavenly Father. III. The second commandment (vs. 4-0). 4. any graven image -Sculpture and painting are not here forbidden; Moses himself was commanded to con- struct cherubim for the holy of holies. Idolatrous images representing God and designed for worship are forbidden. Ad- vocates of idol worship declare that the material images are merely to call ep the mental idea. of God, but this is peen tively forbidden by this commandment. Those who worship Jehovah must not have any image before them, to direct, excite, or assist their devotion. The Israelites broke the second command- ment when they made the golden calf as a symbol of God, that is in heaven - Every species of idolatry known to have been practiced by the Egyptians is includ- ed here. The ibis, stork, crane and tawk were objects of Egyptian idolatry. This would also include all heavenly bodies - the sun, moon or stars, in the earth be- neath -The ox-, heifer, crocodile, serpent and beetle, were also objects of Egyp- tian idolatry. in the water -All fish were considered sacred among the Egyp- tians. In Dent. 4:15-10, "which passage is an inspired commentary on this sec- ond commandment," the formation of a god in the similitude of a man or a, wo- man, of a beast, a fowl, a creeping thing, or of "the host of heaven" is clearly for- bidden. 5. a jealous God -God is not willing that any other should occupy the first place in the affections of his people. visiting the iniquity, etc. -While this is not intended to teach that the punish- ment of the personal sins of the parents will be inflicted on the children (Ezek. 18:20), and while it is true that we shall not be condemned by divine jus - ti e for crimes of which we were never guilty; yet the law of heredity is such that even "remote descendants inherit the consequences of their fathers' sins in disease, poverty and captivity, with all the influences of bad example and evil communications." A child may, physically and mentally, suffer evil con- sequences because of a parent's sins, while entirely free from any guilt, be- cause of having no part in the sin. 0. shewhig mercy -Mercy is God's delight. He shows his favor and kindness to thousands of generations, while his judgments reach only to the third or fourth. IV. The third commandment (v. 7). 7. The name -By the name of God we are to understand His titles by which lie makes Himself known to tee In vain - Either by false oaths, common swearing, or light or irreverent mention of clod. Our prayers- and all our utterances that refer to the Deity should be with rever- ence and in the spirit of deep piety. Common, rash swearing is the most fool- ish sin in the world. "The two great baits by which the devil allures men to wickednem are profit and pleasure," but this sin does not even have the exeuee of giving either of these. It is a mark of low breeding. The profane man loses the respect of others and oleo los ee respect for himself. No gentleman will use pro - fume language. "This commandment also forbids all that large class of by -words which may be caned substitutionary oaths* They are the devil's drill ground for profanity, end recruiting office for the army of profane ewearere."-Pelou- het.

The crop outlook has been. steadily improving ever since early in June, and although it was plant- ed about three weeks late it is now cal- culated to be but ten days, behind. Indi- cations now point to a heavy yield and the quality of the grain should be gen- erally good. These facts have hail n great effect upon business and a good fall and winter trade is confidently look- ed forward to. Summer trade is showing a good tone.

Site of Redan Battery -Historic Visit of exst Brockville Rifles -In Honor of the Late Col. John MacdonnelL Niagara Falls, Ont., July 7. -The un- veiling of a bronze -memorial tablet to the memory of Lieut. -Col. L. John Mac - Donnell, of Glengarry, General Brock's gallant aide-de-camp, at the site of time old redan battery on the face of Queen - sten, Heights, was the event which will make the present visit of the 41st Regi- ment Brockville Rifles to this city ever remembered. The regiment arrived ear- ly on Saturday morning via Grand Trunk and marched to Queenston Park for breakfast. At 10 o'clock they teok cars on the International Railway for Queenston Heights Park. There, on the site of the old battery which played such an important part in the famous battle, the Lundy's Lane Historical So- ciety of this city had erected a memor- ial to the brave MacDonnell, but it had never been unveiled. This ceremonial was conducted by Mrs. Cruickshank, wife of Lieut. -Col. and Brigadier Cruikshank, of this city, in the presence of the visit- ing regiment, representatives of the Lundy's Lane Historical Society, officers of other military camps and many spec- tators. When the veil was drawn aside Mrs. Fisched, wife of the lieutenant -col- onel commanding the 41st Regiment, manthed forward, and on behalf of the Broekville Chapter, Daughters of the Empire, placed a wreath of ivy and im- martens upon it. The silver band of the 41st Regiment played the Britisch and Canadian national anthems, and Lieut. - Col, Cruikshank on behalf of the Lun- dy's Lane Historkal Society presented the tablet to the public. The inscription on time memorial reads as follows: "Site of Reden Battery. Near this spot Lieut. -Col. John MacDonnell, At- torney -General of Upper Canada, %MB morally wounded 12th of October, 1812." 'The wreath which was laid upon tlie memorial was subsequently removed to Mat,Donnell's Brockville monument, where it will be preserved* --- • -0- ONLY A YEAR TO LIVE. -- John Redmond Casts Horoscope of Pre- sent British Government. London, July 7.-,Tohn Redmond, the Irish header, in a. speech at Battersea, denounced the Finn Feinns as cranks and sorebeade.

When the al- legeduogi) Tbigamist is a conductor, well - he two wives of Couductor Peter rove met each other in his ear and the result was that warrants were sworn out to -day for his arrest. Now n Coduetor Updegrove know that it doemet pay to speak harshly to one's wife -,or to ono ,of one's wives, The prIBOIPlIl object lessons that will he- -press the moral on Mr. Uptlegrove's memory are those warrants for las ar- rest on a eliarge of bigamy which were obtained by his second wife, who lives at 7442 Ingleside avenue, from Judge Olden, at -the South Chicago -police court. Mr. Updegrove -has been supporting his spouses by collecting fares for the Calumet: Electric Railway Company. The scone which was the fulcrum for the prying out of his knotted domestic life occurred on his car as- it hummed and bounced along 751-h street yester- day. At a certain point in the trip the ear was hailed by the Mrs. Updegrove who must be classified as wife N.. 1. She lives at 321 62nd street. She ;paid her fair without a word, as she didn't want to disturb her busy spouse in his work of pocketing nickels, changing $5 bills, jerking the calm rope, poking switches, ringing the signal bell, venti- lating transfers, helping off children, and chasing the trolley whenever it got wanderlust. Two blocks were traversed in this manner, Mrs. Updegrove maintaining silence in order not to disturb, and Mr. Updegrove holding his peace because lie wished to hold seine transfers in his mouth. Suddenly the car stopped again, A woman mounted the platform and en- tered the coach. When Mr. Updegrove went up for his nickel be saw in con- sternation -that this was wife No. 2. He hastily changed her quarter and made good time to the platform without waiting to return her sunny smile. But, woe, he had to come back. A little girl with a basket got on and went straight for the centre of the ear. Mr. Updegrove'of course, had to go back to where the two wives were seated. each in unconscious bliss, but with a terrible array of hatpins and sharp tongues in evidence. "F -are p -please," the conductor meek- ly requested of the child with the -bas- ket.. While the girl was excavating her mother's hand -bag for a nickel, wife No. 2 began to smile with twenty-four candle power affability. The conduc- tor flushed, to the summit of his ears.. But his face wore the expression of the Greek tragedy masks on the "opry house" curtain. Then a horrible thing happened. Wife No. 2, amazed at his coldness and hay- ing no scruples about impeding the nickel' harvest, rose from her seat and walked towards him. Her lips parted for speech. In a desperate effort Updegrove lean- ed forward and spoke in a low tone: "Don't flirt with me in. the Car." Wife No. 1 had not been admiring tbe scenery nor reading the car advertise- -meets. When she saw her husband lean forward, and speak to Ole strange wo- man she leaped from her seat and got in the game. "Woman, do you know you are flirt. hag with a married man?" she demand- ed ° of wife No. 2, her eyes flashing pitch -forks and cross -cut saws. "I am his wife." Updeerove's breath escaped in eplin tors and his knees. wobbled -without rhythm. "You his wife!" Cried wife No. 2, "I would have you know that that man IS my husband." The car was filled with exclamation points. The two Mrs. Insdegroves were filled with perplexity and a faint glim- mer of the awful truth; Updegrove was filled with the hope that the floor of time ear would cave in. Slowly, but with terrible sureness, the situation was made clear to the two women, Each got off the car afire with a dozen emotions; each parted with a frozen backward look that made Updegrove's horizon a cloud me - tor. To -day the warrants, were obtained by wife No. 2. She says she was- mar- ried to Updegrove, June 3, at Hammond, Md.. and that her maiden name was Mar- ie Teabelle. 4 • • • WORST IN NINE YEARS.

LONDON WOMEN ARE DROPPING THE NEW FASHION. Sidesaddle is Preferable -Opinions of Riding Masters Are Against the Masculine Seat of Horseback -No Advantage. London, July .8 -The attempt to in - &edge° the fashion of riding astride among ladies appears to have failed. Last year the new style Was received with scent favor, and this year its followers are fewer than ever.

"Last year we had two ladies who rode astride, this year we have only one," said the master of the lam -gest livery firm in Knightsbridge yester- day, "and personally I do not think the idea will ever gain ground. "There is practically no reason why it, should, beyond giving a. prettier line to the figure and getting rid of the camelhump appearance, riding astride has absolutely no advantage. "The side-saddle. is in every way preferable, particularly because time grip it gives in jumping, hunting or hard riding. "And if you ask me what is best for time horse, I vote for the side-saddle. reversible with ladies. They should learn to ride both right and left, and change about from one day to an- other." Another well known riding master said the new,style was not likely to be fashionable at present, though in ten yearn or so it might become gener- al.
