"Seven priests," "seven trum- pets," "oven days' and "seven times on the seventh day." Seven denotes perfec- tion. God's ways and works are all per- fect.

They were to ahout by faith as though the vittory were already gain- ed. This they did and the walls fell only after they had declared it aloud. PRACTICAL A.PPLIOATIONS. "The Good,Fight of Faith" (L Tim. 6. la.) livery Jordan has its Jericho. Faith is the victory that takes the citadel (I. John 5,4). Jericho was one of the cities which the spies had described as "greet and walled up to heaven" (Deut. 1, 28). It Was BO strongly fortified that it was impossible to take it by human effort, But man's extremity is God's oportunity. "By faith the wails of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days" (Heti. 11, 30). Faith is the sub- stance,„ the., rash thing, not the shadow hon thingS hoped for. Faith is the evi- dence of things not seen (Hob. 11,1). Whom having not seen we love (L Pet. 1, 8). :Faith as well as grace is the gift of God (Eph. 2, 8). Peter writes to those who have "obtained like, precious faith" GI. Pet..1,1); the hair of God (Mark 11, 22, seargh; the Bath that is by• Him tneets. 3, 16); the faith by which we live Mal. 2, 20) is illustrated in our lesson. We see, , 1. The work of faith.

His cause is built upon the destruction of the enemy's strongholds, This would teach the Israelitee not to set their hearts ou worldly wealth, and would show the nations around that they were not a set of marauders seeking for plun- der. IV. Jericho captured (v. 20), 20. Pell down flat -Several commentators both Jews and Christians, have supposed that the ground under the foundations of the walls opened, and that the walls sunk into the chasm, so that there remained nothing but plain ground for the Ismael- ites to walk over. Probably the wall fell down from its foundations in every part -Clarke, This miracle put into the lia.nds of Joshua the strongest city in Cao.nen and proved the omnipotence of Jeliovah.-Steele. IV. The shout of faith. "The people shouted" (v. 20.) Tbe people eompsented the city, the prieete blew the trumpet.% they all shouted- in token that the city was theirs while the gates were still closest, tie walls still standing and an armed host still waiting to come out and destroy them. Faith can shout before the walls fall. Anybody can shout when they see the enemy running; only those who believe God can shout knowing the enemy will run. God said•, "I have given into thine band Jericho." Joshua be- lieved it (v. 2.) He said to the people before the walls fell, "Shout, for the Lord hath given you the city" (v. 16.) "By faith Rehab perished not" (Heb. 11; 31.) "I know God bath given you the laud," was her word to the spies (Josh. 2; 0.) God said to Abram, "A father of many nations have I nutde thee," when he changed his name from Abram, high father to Abraham, father of a multi- tude (,Gen. 17; 5.) For many years the ehildless old man bore the mune which must have made him a laughing stock to his neighbors, But it paid to stand with God and call "the things which be not as though thoy were" (Rom. 4; 17.) nod tells us whatsoever things We desire when we pray we are to' believe that we 'have received!' them and we ;shall have them (Mark 11; 24, R. V.). Whether we -come for pardon, purity or power the process is the same. Desire, pray, bee neve, receiee, is the divine order. As we write a greteful acknowledgment of a cheque before we !taxa caahed it; as we eign a postal order saying, "Received the 'above," before the money is placed in our hands, so faith dares to say, "God has given, I have reeeived," before there spbysical or spiritual' knowledge of it. Feeling is the result of faith. We have "joy and peace in believing" Morn. 15; 13.) Not joy and peace so that we may believe. God hath blessed us with all spiritual bleseinge in Christ. V. The vietory of faith. "Every man straight before him, and they took the city" (v. 20.) S. A. Keen's experience :hien entering Canaan and taking Jeri- sho is interesting: For fourteen yeare Jesus had been the morning star of my soul in the precious sense of pardon. Through all the yeara I had longings for spiirtual apprehensions of a nigher life, One day in a ;storm of bewilder- ment and heaviness I said, "Lord, I am thine, for thee to do this thing for me." Peace unutterable came. I did not know that to give ovew to Jesus to do for me what I could not de for myself was faith, and that what had come of this was full of ealration; but eighteen hours later I saw the Holy Spirit, ,had cleansed,•filled and completely savecihne. -A.

Windsor, Ont., Oct. 14. -(Special.) -- While returning from the dedieatory ser- vices of a new Danish Lutheran Church in Detroit, Edward Nelson, of Walker- ville, fell dead. He was is devoted at- tendant of the church, and during wor- ehip he apparently returned thanks for being permitted to witness the oomple- tioa of a work so dear to his heart.

SIX BURNED TD DEATH. Sad Sequel to a Betrothal Party in New York State. Gloversville, N. Y., Oct. 18.-HttIf an hour after a party of merrymakers Car- ly to day had left Solomon Frank's home, where they had celebrated the approaele ing nuptials of the datighter, Dora, fire swept through the house and six mem- bars of the family, including the bo - teethed woman, were killed. Only the mether and two infant sons escaped. The dead are: Solomon Frank, aged 40 years; his daughters, Sarah (21 years of age), Dora (19 years), Rose (17 yeare), Minnie (12 years), and Mary (10 yenrs). They were suffocaten by smoke which filled the rear of the house hi whioh they had retired. • ee r • TELQUA, 8. 0,, COALFIELDS. Great Beds Discovered on Grand :Trunk PaelfIc Property.

They Have Beeorrie so Numerons in Central Park that Many Are E#e ing Crowded Out and Have Mis grated to the So called Gardene on Either Side. New York, Oet, 14. -New York -or ni considerable part of it -is threatened by a plague that is going to make the re- sidents of the seotion affected :sympa- thize keenly with thehtftlictions of rab- hit-ridden Australia.. Sgrtirrels are in- creasing to aucli an alarming extent in Central Park that the sections on both sides are being overrun with the o/sievous little animals; they appear in inhat pass for gardens in New York; they run, tame and fearless, over the eklewalke; they horrify gentlerAinthed! women by getting in the way of auto- tuobiles and trolley ears and being ground up into haah and they bother ev- ery one for blooka in all sorts of ways. No one wants to kill a harmless lit- tle animal like a squirrel, and, besides, the law protects them if they come from the parka of the city. Squirrels can find plenty to eat ex- cept in cold weather, and their numer- ous; friends, young and old, see to it that they do not suffer when snow is on the ground. No squirrel ever seems to die, and as there are twits litters a year as a rule in eat% squirm; family, it can readily be seen that there will soon :have to be a deoision as to where to put tbo overflow. 4** U. S. LOSES A PEER LORD FAIRFAX ASKS FOR NAT- URALIZATION PAPERS. Shortly to Become a British Citizen -Owns Great Tract of Land in Maryland, Where His Family Has Been Living for Four Genera- tions. Loudon, Oat. 13. -Lord Fairfax of Cameron, said to -be the only British ci- tizen of the United States, and, whose family lived, for four generations at leargo, Northampton, Prince George County, elaulluad, where Lord Fairfax owns 5,700 acres of land, has just made application to the Home Office for nat- uralization as a British eubject. The par- ticulars supplied -have been hastily de - dared satisfactory, and the final certi- ficate has been sent him for signature. When the certificate is aigned Lord Fairfax will be entitled to sib in the Souse of Lorda, should his fellow-licotee men so desire. Lord Fairfax was form- erly a clerk in a New York banking house, afterward becoming a member of the firm. He is now a member of Bout - right se Company, Ameeican stock brok- ers; but has been living in England much of ithe time since he came here at the time of King Edward's coronation. The .present Peer is the twelfth Lord Fairicar.

CAN SURGERY CURE INSANITY? ENGLISH SPECIALIST PINS HIS FAITH TO TREPHINING. a/am a H 0 Mange:El Boy's Character by Re- moving Piece of Bone From His Skull -Dr. Hollander Protest* Against Present Methode of Treats ing Lunacy. New York, Oct, 13, -The Herald. hats received the following cable nespateli from London; "Can insahity be Cured by Surgical Operation?" was the sun - sect of a.leeture delivered before the In- corporated Britigh Phrenological So- ciety by Dr, Bernard Helle,nder a well. known physician foe mental 'diseases, who early this 3qar caueed a sensation by the publication in Tho Laneet and other medical journals of a report of a bsuyoctereeepfhuiltheougve of mental derangement Do. Hollander created another sensa- tion in the course of Ms lecture by de- scribing the case of a boy, aged sixteen, who was a liar and a thief, hut who, after the removal of a strip of bone from his skull, was restored to a state of perfect morality. This boy had to he constantly watched to keep him from destroying things, from thrashing his follow -pupils and throwing etonee. He told falsehoods and had a tendency to steal; he had no sense of deceney, and grow more danger- ous the older he got until his deeds brought hint before the Police Court. Dr. Hollander proposed the removal 3f a strip ef bone from the centre line of the head. This Was carried out. An in- cision was made from the top of the head vertically down to each ear, when the tissues ebove the right ear revealed. signs of an old injury. After several tre- phinings had been made the bone was cut away on the right side, where the membrane of the brain showed signa of an old hemorrhage. After being treated antiseptically the wound was. closed and healed emcees - fully.. The patient got gradually bettor and behaved properly, and not only did he lose his bad propensities, but showed high moral feeling. Dr. Hollander is convinced by this ex- perience that many sufferers might be rescued from living tombs to take their part again in the world's work by a sim- ple surgical operation. He thinks that newly arrived and callable efities being brought into an at- mosphere that ig already saturated with oluunrodacy. basome aggravated instead Of Fifty years ago, he says, there was doubt as to the possibility of localiza- tion, but to -day it is an accepted doc- trine, that there is a plurality of cen- tres in the brain with definite functions, and that injury or diseage of a circum- ecribed portion of the brain can cause derangement of the mental power which is located there. Of course, when in- sanity is due to some toxic instance, some poison that has got into the sys- tem, than the whole brain may suffer and all the mental powers may become deranged. ."Careful observation of all recorded cases," 'says Dr. Hollander, "has shown me that whenever an injury affects the same locality the same mental power suffers, and in this manner have ar- rived. at the localization theory. "There is no case more common than that of a faculty to be developed, in coneequenee of a wound, to a degree never manifested in health. Thus blows on the tomhle have caused, kleptomania; blows on parietal eminence, melate choly; on the vertex of the head, re- ligious insanity, and so on, and if the source of visitation is removed the ex- cited faculty ie reduced to its normal activity. "There are a great many cases on re- cord of Moen on the parietal eminence that have been follosved by such morbid anxiety that' the victim has commit- ted suicide, ;when a post-mortem exam- ination nes kevealed the results of past inflammatio4 in the supramarginal and adjacent onesulsions. ses DANfAGE CLAIMS. - • EX-EMPLOYEES OF YORK LOAN "WRONGFULLY D ISM I SSED!"

At the end of a long examinee tion, during which Mt 'Queen told much of the methods of the company and the salaries of its employee's, Mr. Kappele announced that he would not consider these damage claims as a elass and they wonlil have to be presented separately. Other former employees were queetioned along the sailie as Mr. Queen in the afternoon. HE WAS THE MAN. SWINDLER OF MANY BANKS PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE.
