Now therefore - In viovr of the fact that Jehovah has brought yoa forth with such a mighty hand. Fear the Lord -Reverence the Lord and walk earendly before Him. Think of Els Majesty and respect His anthority, and remember that His eye is ever upon you. Always make lInn the object of all your worship. Serve Rim - Perform. His will; obey His command. mute* In this addrese Joshua calls their attention to the many things God had done for them. An idol could do nothing for any one, why then did they cling to idols? In sincerity and in truth -With- out hypocrisy. "The Latin word from which our sincerity' comes, denoter 'honey without wax,' unmixed purity. The Greek word is eousidered by some to be founded on the idea of something lield,,up in the rays of the sun, and prey- ed to be without. tspeek or flaw."-Catn. Bib, Put Away tne gods -It Would 'seem from these worde that there were some among thean who privately kept the im- ages or gods which had belonged to their forefathers. The gods which their fore- fethere worshiped were (1) the gods of the Chaldeans. They worshiped fire, light and sun. and maele gods to them, (2) The images worshiped. by the Egyptians which were the ape, serpents, vegetables, etc. The inhabitants of Canaan also wor- shiped idols, whieh -would become a snare to lerael unless, they put away all hea- then . worship. Joshua 811N that they could not be sincere in divine worship and use idols, Beyond the River (R. V.) -That is, beyond the Euphrates, in Mos- opotamia and in Ur, the land of Abra- ham's nativity. 10. If it seem evil -If it gem unwise or inexpedient. Choose you, etc. -Like Elijah on Cannel (1 Kings 18. 21), Jos- huo °ails. upon the people to at once de- cide as to whom they would serve. "They had been harboring idols eh 23) and worshiping them in secret, while openly , professing to serve God. It was high time for this to cease. The whole hope of the nation depended upon whole-bearted • • service of Jehovah. There was no good reason for them to defer the matter a single moment." As for me and my house -Joshua is outspoken. His decision was made many years before this. "He al- so resolves for his nuttily, his children and servants, and such as were under his care and influence and protection. Though he was a ruler, Joehum did uot neglect family religion. He speaks - as though there might be some of Ins -peo- ple who would turn to idol worship, but in his household he would not . permit idolatry. Ho gave them his decision and example :before receiving their yeply." II. Israel's Solemn Pretense (vs. 16-18). 16. People answeredi-Through their leaders, and by heanty acclaim on their part the people promised fidelity to Jehovah. G 8. forbid -The force of the original s that such. a eourse would be a " irofane thing" to them. Forsake th Lord -This shows that they now rudder themselves as belonging tme od.

God had de- livered them from Egyptian bondage. 2. The "great signe" wrought in the land. 3. Their preservation. for forty years in the wilderness. 4. The ex- pulsion of the Amorites. 18. Therefore will' we also -Joshua would not be permitted to stand alone in his choice, for they were or the same mind, and would. claim the same God with hini: They would not break the vows which they had made.

Quickly into her heaet came the thought oi her imperfect service for God and hie loviug acceptance of it, and afterward relating the incident she said, "Baby did Itelp mother better than she knew." God ;omits sincere service as blameless, cov- ering all its imperfections with the num- tle of mother love.

A tiny boy was having :melt a good time with his blocks when his ntother said, "Come, dear, it is time put the blocks away and get ready for bed." "Oh, mennua," begged the died, "let me stey a little longer- -just till the clock strikes again," It only %meted fifteen minutes of seven, so the mother said, "If you will stop eheerfully when the clock strikes I will let you pety on." Ile promised. It *cloned only minute to the busy block -builder 'when the clock on the itiantel told the hoter of Seven. The dear chile looked up in surprise, shut his lips; tight, drew a long breath, and then said ns cheerfully as he eould, "I didn't think it would strike so mon, but I must keep my truth:" IV, Voluntary service. "Choose" (v. 15). God's claim to Israella service was eased upon sonship. "Israel is my eon, even my first-born; and ....let my sou go, that he may serve me" (Exod. 4. 22. 23). God never compels, Ile con. strains (Deut. 30. 19. 2 Cor. 5. 14). Is- aiah would never have been the prophet ef the Most High had he not said, "Hero am I, send me" (lea. 6. 8). Paul would never hare been shown his service of suffering had he not said, "Lord, what +wilt thou have me to do." V. Personal eervice. "Choose you" (v. 15). God's call is to individuals. David's word to the "congregation" was, "Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this day unto the Lord?" (1. Chron. 29. 5, R. V.). The Spirit's call to the "churches" is, "He that bah an ear to hoar let him hear". (Rev. 2. 11). •'He that overcometh.... to him will 1 giro power" (Rev. 2. 20). • VL Immediate vervice. "Now, there- fore..choose you this day" (es. 14, 15). 'Remember now thy Creator" (Reel. 12. 1), "Now is the accepted time.... now is the day of salration" (2 Cor. 6. 2). A inother stood beside the open grave of her only child. As the clods fell upon ehe coffin she threw hers -elf upon her knees and loonihg heavenward , cried, "Lord. Jesus, I give myself to thee here and now," "Whatsoever thy hand find- eth to do, do it" (Each 9. 10). They found on the fly leaf of a little boy's Bible after he went to heaven, "I take God this day to be my God and no fool- ing about it." Deliberate eerviee. "Choose.... whom ye will serve." There eon be no 'compromise. If heathen gods are really better, eerre them. Count the cost (Luke 14. 28). Know the worst. Faoe the cross. There are trials end temptations in serv- ing God, but it pays. Then choose. Talcs a -blank sheet of paper. Rule it. Write God's name above one column and Sat - en's name above the other. Weigh de- liberately, impartially, each service. Write honestly in one column the reasons why you should sere God and in the ether all the reasons why you should serve Satan. Then deliberately determine to serve Gosh Write your name to it and stand by it. VIII. Holy service. "The Lord....it an holy God" (v. 19). If you choose to eerve, it must be in His way. In the book of tho priesthood we read, wes .31101 be holy for I am holy" (Lev. 11. 44). He must have a holy service. "Be yo clean that bear the vessels of the Lord" (Lev. 10. 2, 10; *Lea. 52. 11), Is your service "gold, silver, precious stones," that will stand the "fire" ot tbe judgment? or ii it "wood, hay, stub- ble" that shall be "burned?" (1 Cor. 3. 12-15. Ask God to show you. A. C. M. Toronto Line Stock.

The transaction to which His Lord- ship refers was a eale of $05,000 of as - eels belonging to the Detroit Yukon Min- ing Company, of Which the defendante were also directoes to the Canadian ,eompany for $500,000. The defendants claimed that the pur- chase of the machinery for $600,000 was ,t term of the arrangement His lordeldp nye that he declines to accept the evi- dence of defeudants on this point Their application fee a charter stated specifi- cally that their stock was to be paid for in cosh, and the learned judge finds that they did not intend at that time to state a falsehood. . "There never was any agreement that -Elie mathinery should be taken for $500,000 in caeh or in stock," saye his Lordship, "and the pretended aide Was in fraud of tbe Canadian company and the plaintiff, the largest sharehold- er." His Lordship adjudges each of the personal defendants liable for the whole amount of $500;000, and de - dares that the conveyance of pro• petty by the Detroit company was .effeeted without a price being fixed. 'The parties are ot liberty to either take the value of $05,000, placed thereon by His Lordship, or to have the value fixed by the blaster for n eettlemen MAY NOT STRIKE Little Likelihood of a Strike on Eng- land's Roilroads. 41* London, Nov. 4.-7The impression pre- vails all over London to -day that there will be no general strike of the Railway Servants' Assoeiation. This belief may be based on the hard week of David Lloyd -George, president'of the 13oned of Trade, who has labored day and night with the companies to gain some con- cessions. The railway inanagers remain- ed firm saying that they didnot want a sttike, 'but that if it mune to a question of etrike or suerenderingithe control of the railways to the workingmen's me ganization, they preferred the strike. It was thobght to -day that David Lloyd -George hoe at last succeeded in gaining some slight concession from the railway managenient, so that aft armis- tire may soon be proclaimed. and the entire matter gone over again:.

Word. has gone forth :from the committee that- cor- poral punisement must be saved for grave moral offences and. must not be inflicted. until other correctional methods shall lithe been tried and found want- ing. Judging from a report from the Prin- cipal of tele of the London wheels, the committee's action was quite necessary. At this particular school there are 300 pupils in the boy& department, and upon these 369 boys there were inflicted last year 17,041 canings; that is to say, an average of over 43 comings per boy per annum. Allowing for bad boys, this average permitted of one ea,ning a week to each pupil. One re,solution passed by the School Committee provides that corporal pun- ishment in what are known as the in - fent schools shall be given only in exceptional circumstances, and then only by one hand of the testeher, on the hand or arm of the pupil, care being taken to inflict no blow upon the face or heath RUBBERLESS MOTOR WHEEL, The Wonderful Invention of a Russian Engineer.
