The high priest drew out the tote with
both his hands and laid the lots on the
heads of the goats. The goat pa which

of Atonement a special sin -offering was
appointed for the high priest and his

porch and the altar, with it face to-

faced the worshiping people in the open
court in the east. Aaron then laid both
his hands upon the head of the bullock
and confessed his sins, and the sins of
his household, and also those of the
priesthood."--Eldersheim. The high

was caught in a vessel. 12, 13. he shall

any of the requirements he was liable
to die. He must envelop himself in it
cloud of incense as he approached into
the presence of God. 14. Seven times --
Seven denotes perfection. Sprinkling
seven times denoted that a perfect ex-
piation was made for sin.
'IL Various rites established (vs. 15-
19.) 15. Kill the goat -The high priest
next kilted the goat which had been
elosen as the sin -offering for the people
(v. 8.) He then entered the holy of
holies for the third time and sprinkled
its blood as he had sprinkled the blood
of the bullock. 16. He shall make an
atonement -The blood of the bullock
and the goat was now mixed together
and sprinkled seven times upon (1) the
sanctuary (the holy place), (2) the tab-
ernacle of the congregation, and (3) the
altar -probably the altar of incense had
the blood upon it (Exod. 30; 10.) "The
object of this solemn ceremonial was to
impress the minds of the Israelites with
the conviction that the whole taberna-
cle was stained by the sins of a guilty
people, that by their sins they had for-
feited the privileges of the divine pre-
sence and worship, and that an atone-
ment had to be made as the condition of
God's remaining with them." -J., F. &
11. 17. During the time the high
priest performed these rites the inferior
pries -as could not enter the tabernacle.
IV. The scapegoat (vs. 20-22.) Verse
, 10 records the statement of what Was
actually done at this time. In the slain
goat we see the firet aspect of the atone-
ment, the sin actually taken away. "The
word alzazeP is regarded by many as
proper name for 'the utterly banished
demon,' the prince of evil spirits; and
the sin -laden goat was thus banished to
the desolate regions of the prince *of
astrkness. Others regard the word as
meaning 'complete separation,' and the
sine represented by the seepetioat were
eompletelyremoved-even hie far as the
emit is from the west.'" The atonement
had been made, but the consciences of
the people were not yet free from a
sense of personal guilt and sin. Lav-
ing both his betide on the head of the
scapegoat, the high priest confessed the
this of the people and nnule an earnest
pTea to God for them. After the con-
fession the goat was committed to the
therge of some person previously ehoson
for the purpose, and carried away into
the wilderness, where it was get at lib-
erty.-Edersheim.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION'S.
The law has a "shadow of good things
to come," for which both light and sub-
istance are necessary. The light which
Out lines these "figures of the true," is
the great eternal purpose of redemption.
The substance here represented is the
person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ,
en "whom dwelleth all the fulness of the
itichlheed," and who "gave himself that
he might redeem t us."
Atonement. At -one -meat includes both
the means and reeults. It presupposes
both legal and moral antagonism between
the creature and the creator, Sin and
separation are synonymous. "Your in-
iquities have separated between you and
your God." As a result, men are 'ene.
sides to God." To effect a reconeilation
there must be a daysman who can put
Lis hands on both and unite ft. himeelf
the interests of each. Christ has made
Ift himself "of twain one new man, so
*taking peace." Ho was "sent forth to
redeem them that were under the law."
It is deeiared that "without the shedding
of blood there is no remission." "So
Christ was once offered to bear the shim
of many," and "by his own blood," typi-
fied by that of the ceremonial Sacrifice,
"has entered once into the holy place,
ha ving obtained eternal redemption for
me" "For Christ has not entered into

One snerifice eufficient, The benefits
of his atonement are permanent. "In

having only "a shadow," it can never
with those saerifices which they offered
year by year continually make the com-
ers thereunto perfect. "But now once in
the end of the world Christ bath appear-
ed to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself," and has offered "one sacrifice
for sins forever." "Where rennesion of
these is, there remaineth no more sacri-
fice for sins." His sacrifice provides all
necessary agencies. "By one offering he

went the high priest alone." "The Holy

the holiest of all was not yet made
manifest." Christ has "consearated for
us a new and living way." Simultan-
eously with the expiring cry of the Son
of God occurred the reading "from the
top to the bottom" of the massive veil
separating the holy from the most holy.
It means all privileges for all believers.
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to
enter into the holiest by the blood of
Jesus.. , .let his draw near,,. .in full as-
surance of faith."
Sin confessed. Before scapegoat could
typically bear away the transgressions
of the people, the high priest with his
hands upon its head confessed, and after
the same manner transferred to it -his
own sins and those of the people. Con-
fession is still needful, not on the part of
the priest, but of those who would re-
ceive the benefit of his ministry and in-
tercession. Christ never acknowledged
sin, either in character or conduct, to
(id or man. "In him is no sin." "If
we confese our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive our sins." "He that coy-
eretli his sins shall not prosper, but who-
soever confeseeth and forsaketh them,
shall find mercy." All sin mist be con-
fessed to God, as an offence against his
holiness, rebellion against his govern-
ment, an affront to his mercy, and to
our fellows as far as they have suffered
personal injury thereby.
Sin taken away. "Into a land not in-
habited" the scapegoat went laden with
the iniquities of a stiff-necked and rebel -
nous people, to return no more. So on
Christ were "laid the iniquities of us
all." "He bare our sins in his own body
on the tree." God's forgiveness is eter-
nal. "As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath he removed our trans-
gressions from us," and "he remembereth
them no more against us forever." Into
a land "not inhabited,' where there is
none to remind, does Christ bear the sins
of those who trust him.
William H. Clark.
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER BE?
The Brother Who "Stole" or the Brother
Who Didn't Lend?
New York, Aug. 5. -When Joe Feld-

got a chance for a job a week ago or so
he had been without work since April
He spoke to his brother, Alexander, who
is a year olden
".leek," he said, "my clothes are poor
and worn. Let me wear one of yam'
snits and a tie. Then I may become a
clerk and earn. money."
Alexander said no. Joe waited until
Alexander left the house and then put on
his brother's suit. He got the job, and
lost it because Alexander had him arrest-
ed for stealing the clothes. Joe pleaded,
but Alexander would not relent and the
Grarill Jury inklieted Joe for stealing
a suit, collar, shirt, tie ad a pair of
shoes, all valued at $20.
Assistant District Attorney Howe
heard of the case and his investigation
showed that Joe's story was true.
"I am guilty," said Joe when he was
arraigned yeeterelay before Judge O'-
Sullivan in General Sessions. "I took the
elotlea, but I did not mean to steal
them. I only wanted to make sure of
getting the job. I got the job, lett I Was
arrested and lost it."
He was discharged on his own recog-
eizetce.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW.
Montreal :-General aerie conditions here
are reported as keening a very steady tone.
Tho movement of Wliolesale and retail stocks
continues good, notwithstanding the fact that
this is niece or less a quiet BOOBOO. The
feature of conditions at the present moment
is to be found in the money market. Money
Is scarce upon every hand, and seldom, if
ever, has it been more urgently needed than
In the case at the present moment. This
stringency in the money market has existed,
to sonic extent, for the best part of a year,
although it is only in the past three or four
months that the strengency has been so pro-
nounced as to give rise to some misgivings
as to the result. The expenditures attend-
ant upon the great development of the country
during the past four or five years, and the
genoral builaess expansion, have ben 69
great that the country's monetary resumes
were bound to be drained. In view of the
fact diet much money will wee be needed
for the crop movement, it Is not reasonable
to expect much change In conditions in this
respect for some time. Atter° is no doubt
but that In some quarters this money strin-
gency is, to some extent, interfering with
trade expansion that would otherwise take
place. General trade hao, otherwise, a decid-
edly healthy tone. There is great activity
in all lines of industry, manufacturers in
almost every branch finding more or less
difficulty in taking care or the business of-
ferinz.
Toronto: -Trade generally holds a very sat-
isfactory tone here. The volume of fall
business compares favorably with that of
previous years. Heavy shipments of fall and
winter drygoods are going forward and ship-
ments are being made as fast as manu-
facturers' deliveries will permit. There Is an
excellent business in blankets and woollens.
Shipments of ready -mane clothing have been
exceedingly heavy and the trade promises
to keep up well to the end of the season.
Reports from all parts of the country indi-
cate that an excellent retail trade may be
expected for the coming season.
Winnipeg: -The steady movement In the
outlook for the crops is having Its full ef-
fect upon business here. Fall business is
In good shape and good orders are stilt com-
ing In. Money is tight to such an extent
that complaint is general.
Vancouver and Vietorla:-The wboiesaio
trade beide a good brisk one. For this sea-
son so far the volume or business has been,
It is estimated, about a third greater than
was done last year. There is every evidence
of a great expansion of trade all along the
coast. The retail trade too, is active and
collections are generally good.
Quebec; -unsettled weather, accompanied
by heavy rans, has somewhat Interfered with
the hay cut, which is general throughout
the province, rowing crops showing good
results,itatat
Iton:-Business hold an Active tone.
The demand for fall lines is heavy and the
outlook for the settsoti is bright. Country
trade is fair. Colleetions are generally good.
London:-Ilusitless generally is moving well
there. The sorting trade is active for this
time of the year and fall wholesale trade is
broistk,
ta
woe -There is little change In the trade
situation there. Wholesale stocks are mov-
ing well although retail trade has a slight-
ly quiet tone. Preepects for next season,
however, ere good.
THE MTHER KICKED.
DAUGHTER'S LOSTER WENT TOO
OFTEN AND STAYED TOO LONG,
Brantford, Aug. 5,--A peculiar ease
was heard at the police court to -day, A
father, who was charged by his wife with
assault, said the whole trouble arose
over a prospective son-in.law.
"He comes, not one night but seven
nights,. per week and stays until all
hours," said the itulioant parent.
He undertook to give the young man
some sound ativiee on courting, and it
appears the whole fatuity made things so
hot for him that lie was forced to lose
his temper and do some fighting. Hence
the court proceedings.

SHELLS BURST PREMATURELY.
French Naval Manoeuvres Were Far
From Success,
Paris, Aug. 5.- After the close of
the recent naval manoeuvres reports
were current of shells bursting pre-
maturely. These reports are now con-
firmed by Admiral Touchard, who, in
an interview in the Matin says that
the shooting exercises gave results
that were candidly bad, The prema-
ture bursting of shells was not c
fined to the smaller guns. The batt
ship Suffern had six premature
plosions out of twelve shells fired t
Republique one, and the Carnet this
out of five.
The Jaureguiberry and others of t
fleet had experiences similar to that
the Carnet, while the St. Louis had
premature explosions out of 12, some of
the shells bursting within fifty yards of
the ship. Thanks to the initial veloc-
ity of the black powder that was used,
there were no accidents, The Admiral
added that that would not have been
the result had melinite been used.

T PUBLISHED PORTRAIT.
It is certain that she first sprang into
fame with a novel called originally
"Held in Bondage," which appeared, in
1863, in the New Monthly Magazine. It
was to a great American publisher, the
late J. B. Lippincott, of Philadelphia,
that she directly owed her rescue from
oblivion. I who write this have often
heard him tell the tale. Happening to
read the story in the magazine (he was
then in London), he was struck by the
dash and brilliancy. He found a London
publisher who was willing to assume the
risk of introducing it to the English pub-
lic. He himself brought it out in the
"nited States.
"In England," Mn Lippincott con-
inued, the book made an immediate
mit. The author was lifted from obsour-
ty to fame; front poverty to financial

tune of 'Granville do Vigne; or, Held in

DEPORT U. S. SILVER.
Dominion Government Will Get Busy
When the Mint is Ready.
Ottawa, Aug, 5. -With the opening of
the Royal Canadian mint in November,
the Government will take stronger mese
sures to transport United States silver
-across the border, so that the profits of
manufacture may all accrue to Canada.
During 1005-0 the Dominion Parlia-
ment, at the suggestion of the Minister
of Finance, made an appropriation to
encourage the Canadian banks to collect
and deport United States silver. The
commission was three-eighths of one
per cent., and the Government, peed the
express charges. In a single year
United States silver to the amount of
$532,504 was deported, but it is calcu-
lated that about as much has come
back during the past year.
The profit on time manufacture- of
silver coinage is about 50 per cent.

PEACH TREES DOING WELL.
Growers Have Different Experience to
That of City Clerk Pay.
St Catharines, Aug. 5. --Mr. 'Robert
Thompson, the Most scientific, fruit
griever of the district, flatly contradicts
City Clerk Pay's statement that two-
thirds of the peach trees of the district
died last winter, Mr, Thompson says
not 10 per cent. died. All that did die
were either on low ground or in orchards
unsprayed or sprayed with poorly pre-
pared mixtures by unskilled help, In or-
chards properiy sprayed no trees died.
Growers who properly sprayed fruit are
very optimistic as to the fruit situation.
Teeth orchards Only last ten years and
sonic trees die off every year.
IL Bunting, also a progressive
grower, stated that not one per cent. Of
ids fruit trees died last winter, "It
hard on the growers to have such dams
aging statements circulated about thet
country," sadi Mr. Bunting. "The crop
is considerably lighter than last year
everyone knew that, but the quality of
the fruit is excellent,"
