It was when husband and wife were alone that the veil was for the first time removed." IL The Mother of Jesus (vs. 3-5). 3, When the wine failed (R. V.) -To Eats - ern hospitality such a mishap would be very mortfying and would seem almost disgraceful. The family no doubt was poor, extra guests had. come, and the supply was limited. There has been much discussion . as to whether Jesus made wine that would, intotdcate. Dr. Whedon says: "We see no reason for supposing that the wine of the present occasion was of that kind upon which :Scripture places its strongest interdict" (Prey. ear., 1; xxiii., 31; Isa. xxii., 13). No one can prove that it contained in- toxicating qualities, and there are many and. strong reasons for believing that it was as pure and harmless, as the juin of the grape fresh from the vines. Wine- bibbers need not undertake to fall back on this miracle se an excuse for the gratification of their perverted appetites. If Jesus were in America to -day we know very well what his attitude would be towards the accursed saloon and & to- -warwine at banquets, and in fact to- wards the banquets as they are now car- ried on. We may be sure that he never encouraged anything which would lead, as our intoxicating liquors do, to degra- dation and ruin. , Mother * * * saith, ete.:-She probably spoke to him pri- vately.

She does not understand the influences di- recting his present life." IVIite hour - The hour for the inanifestation of his glory: Jesus rejects the worldly ambi- tion in Mary' im request. "She desires a brilliant miracle, as a public sign of his coming, Jesus penetrates this ambitious. thought, and traces a boundary for Mary's desires, which she should no snore attempt to cross. But this does not prevent his understanding that along with this there is something to be done in view of the present diffieulty."-Go- (let.

Montreal, Jan. 9. -There is perhaps as pressing a need in Montreal of a whip- pingpost for wife -beaters as there is forits restoration at Washington, as re- - natty proposed. In the Recorder's Court to -day Judge Weir ordered that a charge of drunkenness and common assault against John. Walsh be enlarged to wife - beating, in order that the accused might receive the maxiraum sentence Walsh had already been sentenced to two months for drunkenness and two months for assault, but when. the Recorder re- flected on the fact that the wife had to go out to work daily, and that on her refusal to hand over her bard -earned money he had struck her on the mouth and blocked out two ot her teeth, he ordered the thane, to be changed. Then, having referred to Walsh ass an unspeakable coward, he said he could not refrain making reference to the large number of cases arising from over- indulgence in drink that had come be- fore him during the last few days. Nev- er in all his' experience had there been such a roll call at the New Year season. He did not know whether to attribute it to nit increased activity on the part of the police, or to the fact of there being really more depravity. Nor were the cases all of a- trivial nature, a mere oc- currence of the ordinary' kind, where a man gets overcome by taking a drop too much, and is picked up in a tipsy state. There were many of a very vicious character, wicked assaults, acts of cruel- ty and conduct of a disorderly nature, The case of John Walsh, however, was the worst of the BerieS. An aggregate sentence of ten months was imposed. FAMISHED, BUT SAFE. Timely Escape of the Red Rock Light Keeper. The sequel of the story of the Parry Sound lighthouse keeper, *ho had been ice -bound since December 15, is told in a graphie way by The North Star of Parry Sound: 'Mr. Adam Brown, the. lighthouse - keeper of Red Rock, has at last man- aged to reach his home in ParrySound, after a very great hardship, and in a famished condition.

It is also declared that the Empress has given substantial , promises that her conversion shall be announced in the most public way before Minister Conger leaves Pekin. This public announcement, which is to be made soon, is to be followed by steps by the Empress that will inaugur- nee a great era of reform throughout the Chinese empire.

Stern Letter to the Czar From Royal Head of Moscow Zemstose St. Petersburg, Jan. 9. -Prince Trott- betzkoy, Premdent of the Moscow Zemstvo has written a letter to Prince Mirsky, 'Minister of the Interior, de- fending the diseussion of reforms by the Moscow Zemstvo, which called forth the condemnation of the Czar. Te the eourse his letter, Prince Trou- betzkoy says: "Russia is now in a *ate of anarchy. The revolutionary menment now pro- ceeding is not a simple disturbance by the youth of the country. It is it move- ment which reflects the attitude of pub- lic opinion, and it is very dangerous, even terrible, net only for the people, but for the Emperor. It is therefore tho duty of every true Ruesitin subjeet to do what he can to prevent the im- pending calamity. recently had the happiness to see the Emperor, and 1 re- ported to him truly and in all sincerity, the present Ante of public opbsion. I tried to explain to Hie. Majesty that What is now proceeding is not a simple =cute, but it revolution. ",The Russian nation is being dragged Into it rvelolution which it do -es not want, and which may be prevented by She Emperor if he shows confidence in his people. It is my strong belief that if the Emperor will hithself unite the national forces around hint he will re-, lieve Russia* from the terrora of an impendin,g bloody revolution. If •Ile will do so, the nation will support his auto- cratic power. Under existing eonclitions it is impoesible to forbid the people from expressing their sufferinga, It is impossible to keep silence when the country is in it dangerous position." s CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CASE. • - Funeral of Wallace Goodfellow, of To- ronto, is Postponed. • Toronto,.
