The\nclergyman who performed the greatest number of marriages, Rev. Mr.\nBjarson, is un Icelander. The facts\nshow either that the Icelanders ure\na numerous population in and around\nthe capital of Manitoba, or aro exceptionally enterprising in matrimonial adventures. Many of tho\nmarriages aro between Icelanders\nnnd English people, and the readiness with whioh such unions take\nplace suggests that, these sturdy\nNorse settlers, dospito the strong\nnational traits their interesting\nhistory and surroundings have\ninduced amongst them, are likely to\nbe speedily assimilated by the\nCanadians.\nIt is said that Queen Victoria is\nvery fond of fresh air, that she is in\nthe habit of sleeping with open windows oven in the dead of winter,\nand that during the daytime her\napartments at Windsor Castle are\nso cold that her attendants and\nvisitors are almost frozen. The\nEmpress Maria Theresa of Austria\nwas more peculiar in this respect.\nHer apartments wore very rarely\nheated. She exposed herself to\ndraughts without falling a victim to\nrheumatism. Her writing table,\neven in winter, was close to the open\nwindow, und the falling snow often\ndrifted into tho apartment and fell\non tho paper on which she wrote.\nIt frequently happened that the\nhands of the hairdresser were partly frozen while attending to her\nMajesty's coiffure, and that tho\nladies surrounding her august person\nliterally trembled with cold.\nThe following is given by r\ cotemporary journal as \"fifteen great mistakes\": It is a great mistake to set\nup our own standard of right and\nwrong, and judge people accordingly.\nIt is a great mistake to measure the\nenjoyment of others by our own; to\nexpoct uniformity of opinion in this\nworld; to look for judgment and experience in youth; to endeavor to\nmold all dispostions alike; not to\nyield to immaterial trifles; to look\nfor perfection in our own actions; to\nworry ourselves and others with that\nwhich cannot bo remedied; not to\nalleviate all that needs alleviation,\nas far as lios in our power; not to\nmake allowances for tho infirmitios\nof others; to consider everything impossible whioh wo cannot perform;\nto believe only what our finite\nminds can grasp; to expect to bo able\nto understand everything, But the\ngreatest of all mistakes is to live\nonly for.timo, when any moment\nmay launch us into eternity.\nJob printing of all kinds neatly dons\nnt tho Columbian office.

Thia is\nnot the only disquieting report thut\ncomes from that region, and suggests\ntho overturning of the present peaceful\nand satisfactory regime in that uuuntry.\nTho character of the people lends\nstrong probability to such reports, but\nlittle attention is paid to them in St.\nPetersburg, where the general belief\nprevails tnat no disturbance of the\npresent peaceful state of affairs is going\nto take place. The only exception to\nthis view is a small military section\nwhich is anxious to strike a decisive\nblow in Afghanistan, at what is considered by them to be an opportune\nmoment for such steps.\nITALY IS PLEASED.\nPahib, Feb. 25.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The new French\ncabinet, has produced greater satisfaction iu Italy than anywhere elso.

Terard, the premier, is known to\nbe an advocate of the re-establishment\nof close commercial relations with\nItaly, and IM. Benvier also was tho\nnegotiator of the abortive treaty of\n1887. Since commercial relations wore\nbroken off Italy has labored under\nserious economic difficulties, and would\ncladly renew cordial relations with\nFrance Bhould tho new French cabinet\nsurvive and assure by its existence a\nfair measure of success for renewed\nnegotiations. The danger to which\nthe cabinet is directly exposed is M.\nAndrew's attack upon it on tho subject\nuf Tonquin, which is now put uft* until\nnext Thursday, If M. Tirard and lm\ncolleagues should weather this safely a\nperiod of repose is likely to follow.\nThis would allow time and opportunity\nfor tentative steps, looking to the reopening of commercial treaty negotiations botween France and Italy, for\nwhich the press and public of both\ncountries appear to be thoroughly disposed,\nNO KEAIt OF WAR,\nBerlin, Feb; 25.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Prince Bismarck,\nat a dinner given to the members of\nthu lower Prussian diet, said he regarded it as an utter impossibility tlmt\nthe Samoan question should have tho\neffect of interrupting the friendly relations between Germany and America,\nwhich had existed fur a century, Tho\ngeographical situation of Samoa und\ntho imperfection of telegraphic communication rendered it impossible for\nhim to bo responsible for all acts of\nGormin ngents in tho Pacific, but tho\nparties in dispute wero nctuatcd by\nthu best spirit, and no doubt Germany's commercial interests would not\nmaterially suffer.\nA TRUE FHENCHMAN.\nParis, Feb, 25.\u00E2\u0080\u0094General Boulanger\nsays tho statement of policy of tho new\nthe new ministry presented to the\nchamber on Saturday is like the unmeaning murmur of a dying man.

Tho king will bo deposod and\nthe country put under a Chinese viceroy, the namo of tho Marquis Tsing,\ntho late minister to Great Britain,\nbeing mentioned for the post, Tho\ntreaty botween China nnd Japan,\nsigned in 1885, provided thnt neither\ncountry should send armed forces into\nCorea without the consent of the other,\nand, thereforo, tho Japanese's consont\nwill be necessary in ordor to carry out\nsuoh n policy. It is quite certain that\ntho present situation in Corea is excessively galling to China, und that\nsho will seek every means to put down\nthe intrigues which are directed toward\nobtaining for tho king a position of\ncompleto independence. Encouraged\nby his American prime minister, Judge\nDenny, he denies that he owes any\nduty to China beyond that of a mere\nfriendly neighbor. Tho Chinese claim\nthat tho king is their vassal, and that\nit is a country protected by the dragon\nthrone, tnd it seems probable thnt the\ncontroversy will have a violent ending\nbefore long.\nOTTAWA NOTESj.\nOttawa, Feb. 23.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Severol members of the cabinet have beon invited\nto attend tbe lirst annual banquet of\ntho Vancouver board of trade.\nThe resolution adopted at the mass\nmooting of tho Orangemen hero last\nniglit continues to bo the leading topic\nof conversation.

Feb. 25. lDHO.\nDonald Truth is n neat, sprightly,\nnntl fearless little sheet, published\nnt the mountain town of thnt name.\nConstant breathing of tho mountain\nair lends a vivacious effervescence\nto its remarks. Mountain uir is a\ngood thing, but there is such u thing\nas getting too much of it good thing.\nOur little cotemporary of the peaks\noccassionully inflates its small chest\nwith the ctheriril ozone to such un\nextent tlmt the vivacious effervescence abovo merges into a top-lofty\nlightheadedness\u00E2\u0080\u0094a sensation agreeable enough, perhaps, to the affected\nindividual,but tinging his utterances\nand actions with n certain irresponsibility and a luck of balance. Iu\nthis mood, evidently, our littlo\ncotem. tackles Kev. Mr. Thomson,\nof Vancouver, and nlso Tin: Columbian, incidentally, on the Sunday\nnewspaper question. Its remarks\nabout Mr. Thomson show such n\nmisconception of und hostility to tho\nwork of the Christian ministry, thut\nwo are not surprised at its conclusions on the whole subject. We\ninfer that our cotemporary doesn't\n\"cure a rap\" about the preachers or\nSabbath observance either. It\nwould be more honest, however, to\nsny so, instead of attempting to\nmake out that Sunday papers are\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2consistent with Sabbath observance,\nand branding n conscientious clergyman who thinks and expresses himself differently as \"a bigoted man\nwithout brains.\" Truth's remarks\nabout this paper we will pass over,\nas they nre principally contradictions of what wo had to say recently\non the subject of Sunday papers,\nand nothing will bo gained by reiteration in this case.\nWhat u lion Stanley will be,\nshould ho ever emerge from the\nAfrican jungles which have swallowed him up so long, into the\ncircle of civilization once more. An\nadmiring world would elevate him\non their shoulduis and exclaim,\n\"The lost is found ; the dead is alive\nagain.\" For lost, strayed, stolen,\nmurdered, he has been time and\nagain since taking a bender into the\n\"dark continent\" on this lust occasion. Stanley the invinoiWe>though,\nalways appears to \"bob up serenely\"\njust when the gloomiest apprehensions concerning him have gained\ncredence. The latest about Stanley\nAfricanus, according to the wires,\nis that he has had a set-to with the\nnatives near Lake Albert Nyanza,\nnnd has come off victorious, of\ncourse. This may be a fact, but it\nis well known that Stanley's policy\nin ail his African expeditions bas\nbeen to avoid, if possible, forcible-\ncollisions with the natives, and\nbloodshed. This is a good policy :\nbut it is quite certain that, if Stanley followed one part of the \"immortal William's\" advice\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Beware\nof entrance to a quarrel\" lie would\nnot be forgetful of its completion\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094and it\nis not at ali astonishing to hear\nabout the undaunted explorer thrashing tho natives, or even contemplating tho re-capture of Khartoum\nand the rescue of the Soudan from\nthe Mahdi\u00E2\u0080\u0094an intention which lute\ndespatches make Lieuteuaiit Baert,\nwho has lately arrived at Brussels\nfrom Stanley's Falls, attribute to\nStanley. The ci vilized world, although glad to hear that its worst\nfears concerning Stanley und Emin\nBey have not yet been realized,\nmust soon cease to place much\nvalue upon tho various and contradictory reports about the welfare or\nfate of these bravo men, and will\nanxiously await some definite and,\nfrom its nature, incontrovertible, information before preparing either to\nlament or hurrah.\nsouth poles of all the hoavenly\nbodies that are near enough to permit their surfaces to be accurately\nstudied. It is claimed that the\nspots on the sun tend to prove the\nrule, because they extend their\nsphere of activity 40 degrees nortii\nof the solar equator und only 30\nsouth of it. There arc said to be\nremarkable differences, too, between\nthe north pole and the south pole\nof tho moon. In tho vicinity of the\nnorth pole arc high ranges of mountains, considerably inferior in height\nto the peaks about the soutli polo,\nsome of which arc so elevated that\nthey never seem to lose the light of\nthe sun, whose rays never penetrate\ntho valleys that lie about their feet.\nIt is about tho soutli jiolo of the\nmoon, according to tho astronomers,\nthat aro accumulated theso craters\nwhich constitute tho most marked\npeculiarity of its surface. If there\nis a comparison to bo made between\nthe earth and the moon as respects\nits hemispheres, its southern half\nresembles moro nearly the northern\nhalf of our planet. Our world is\nwhat is called in tho languago of\ntlie scientists an oblate spheroid,\nflattened at the poles und having an\nequatorial diameter greater by a fow\nmiles than its polar diamoter. It\nis this peculiarity of form, it is said,\nthat causes it to retain its position\nin relation to the sun, to which wo\nowe the performance of our'physical\nconditions,thnt is thu regular change\nof seasons. Were the poles to pro-\nsent themselves to the sun at a different angle there would be a change\nof seasons that would render certain\nparts of the globe uninhabitable.\nThere are reasons to suppose that\nthe flatness of the poles is not precisely the samo at both of them.\nAbout the north pole thero is much\nmoro land than about the south\npole. The northern hemisphere\nweighing much more than the southern hemisphere would naturally\ncause this part of the globe to assume some modification of form and\npresent different curves und outlines.\nIn a recent eclipse of the moon the\nshadow of the earth as seen on that\nbody presented a wavy edgu that\nsome astronomers presumed to bo\nthe shadow of the Andes, and they\ninferred, perhaps too hastily, that\ninstantaneous photography might\nyet reveal the outlines of the southern polar region with such distinctness that the difference of the curve\nwould clearly prove the supposed\ndifference in tho flatness of tho two\npoles. This is taken to show conclusively that many inferences might\nbe drawn in regard to tho presumed\ninstability of the earth and the possibility of some terrible catastrophe\nat no distant epoch. If magnetism,\nsnys a recent, writer dn the subject,\nis tbo force not alone in the world,\nbut in the universe, that many suppose ; if it is this potent power that\nraises mountains aud continents,\nthat causes volcanoes and earthquakes, that preserves or destroys\nthe equilibrium of worlds, thnt keeps\nthis orb turning on its axis, presenting century after contury tho\nsame angle to the suu; that gives\nus regularity of seasons and may\nannihilate us at any moment, the\nperfect knowledge of its phenomenon is interesting, even fascinating,\nthough wc can do nothing whatever\nto avert the fatal consequences that\nit may cause. We know a great\ndeal about the phenomena of magnetism in tho northern hemisphere\nowing to the greater ease with which\nobservations are made on tho land.\nOf those phenomena in the southern\nhemisphere we know very little,\nowing to the extent of ocean and\nthe barriers that interpose to prevent a near approach to tho south\npole, It is urged that tho climate\nof the southern hemisphere is more\nagreeable than that of tlio northern,\na peculiarity that is supposed to extend to the south pole. The summer is short but quick in action,\nthough the heat is not excessive,\nthe fact being that there is so much\nwater tho icy fetters aro moro easily\nunlocked, nud the ocean covered\nwith floating ice, usually in small\nfragments. There do not seom to\nbo, as on the coast of Greenland,\ngreat glaciers or reservoirs, from\nwhich huge icebergs are detached\nand borne away for thousands of\nmiles by winds and ocean currents.\nTho results of nn expedition, or expeditions, to the south pole, if such\nshould bo successful, cannnot fail to\nbe as interesting, not only to tho\nscientific, but the general public, as\nsuch an event with respect to the\nmuch talked of, but hitherto undiscovered, north pole.\nChildren Cryfor Pitcher's Castor!\nTho north polo has heretofore\nbeen tho chief cynosure for the curious and scientific explorers of the\nglobe, and although tho interest\nwith regard to that icc-guarded,\nmythical point within the Arctic\ncircle cannot be said to have abated,\nits rival, tho south pole, promises\nto usurp a share of scientific attention ond homage It is stated that\ntwo or three exploratory expeditions\nto the south polo are talked of in\nEurope and one is said to bo quietly\npreparing in America, Suience\nLopes to olucidato vurious mysteries\nwith respect to tho Antarctic region,\nsuoh as tho existence of a great continent in that vicinity, which is not\ndeemed probable, the magnetic conditions about tho south pole, the\nrelative flatness of tho earth at that\npoint, with a variety of othor things\n\u00C2\u00A9f real or imaginary scicntifio interest. The point aimed at, and whore\nthe exploration will probably commence is Viotoria Land, so called,\nwhich is nearly duo south of New\nZealand. The nearest point of departure for these unknown regions\nIs the southern part of tho island of\nTasmania. Astronomers have discovered not only that there are\nsingular differences between the\nnorth pole of tbe earth and the south\npole, bnt that there exist similar\ndifference! between tho north and\nAPTIST CHURCH, Agnes Htreet,\nEast ot_ Mary Street, Lord's Lay\nB _.__.... .\nBflrv.coBattJa.ra. and 7 p.m. Sabbath\nSchool hihUIIIiIo CIim-H at 2:M p. in.

Aea Darwin thought differently.\n\"My luck, exactly,\" said ho, despairingly. \"I might havo kuown just how it would\nbo.\"\nHo sat on the old stono porch, staring out\ntoward tho sunset, his chair tipped back on\nits two hind logs, his hands thrust aimlessly into his trousers pockets.\nIt was cold enough to justify the fire of\nbeech logs that was blazing on the hearth\nin the room Inside, where Pardon was tacking up tho red moreen curtains that sho\nhad just sponged and mended neatly; but\nit was not an easy thing for Mr. Darwin\nto relinquish tho babit of out-door lounging that bad clung to him all tho summer\nthrough.\n11 What la it, father!\" Baid Pardon, coming briskly to tho door with a tack hammer in ono hand and a paper of tacks in\ntbe other.\n11 Jonos has just gone by,\" said Ur. Darwin. \"He says the old cow has got out on\ntho railroad track again.\"\nPardon bit hor rod under lip.\n\"I told you sho would, father,\" said shi,\n-'if you didn't havo thoso bars repaired.\"\n\"And she's got run ovor,\" dolefully added\nDarwin. \"I'm suro I don't know what\nwe're going to do without a cow. Wo'vo\nalways put a lot of dependence on our milk.\nBut I might havo expected it. Luck has\nbeen sheer against mo ever sinco John\nJames died. A roan with n house full of\ngals can't expect to make no headway in\nthe world.\"\nPardon colored up.\n\" You didn't oxpeet your girls Jo mend\nthe bars, did you, father (\"asked sho, a littlo\nbitterly.\n\" I was calculatin1 to speak to Tim Far-.\nson;, about getiin' anew pair o'posts put\nup,\" sighed the farmer.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'Wouldn't it have been a safer way to\nput them up yourself, father!\"\n'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2I ain't as young as I used to be,\" said\nDarwin, evasively. \" And tho rheumatics\nis twistin- mc powerful theso first cool\ndays.\"\n\" Then,\" said Pardon, with a certain touch\nof daughterly authority in her voice, \"you\nshould come into tho houso and not sit\nthero, getting chilled through, and thon find\nfault with your luckl\"\nMv. Darwin slowly roso and shuffled into\nthe bright littlo keeping room, whero Pardon had spread a neatly-braided rug before\nthe fire, and placed a broken-spouted\npitcher of yellow golden-rod on the table.\nSbe looked after him with a sigh, half of\nimpatience, half regret,\n\"I wish John James bad lived 1\" said Mr.\nDarwin, feebly.\n\"So do I,\" assented Pardon.\n*\" Ain't supper most ready 1\" said the\nfarmer, looking discontentedly around.\n\"It will be in a minute,\" said Pardon. \"I\nbad to split the kindling myself for tho\nkitchen firo, nnd Fanny has run to Mrs.\nMerrill's for a littlo meal to mako somo hot\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 corn bread.\"\nAt tho same moment Fanny roturned-a\nslight, overgrown girt or fourteen\u00E2\u0080\u0094brcath-\nlesB with tlio basic sho has mado.\n\"Mrs. Morritt is very sorry,\" said she,\n\"but sho hasn't any cornmeal In tho house.\"\n_. \"That's enough,\" said Pardon, glowing\nH scarlet to tho roots of bar bait'. \"I don't\nblame her for gotting tired of lending things\ntousl\" .\n' \"But,\" added Fanny, \"sho sends a pail of\n| Graham flour to make gems. Indeed, indeed, Pardon, she's as kind as she can be I\"\nPardon laughed hysterically.\n\"I'm getting as hard nnd bitter as a sour\npersimmon,\" said sho. \"Yes, I'm very glad\nof the Graham Hour.

Few\nof thu passengers expected lu reach\nthe shore iu safety, and nil agree that\nCapt, Robinson's coolness nnd skill\nalone saved the steamer and her\nprecious human cargo. After a period\nof the greatest anxiety to all on board,\nthe steamer was finally run under theleo\nof the land and beached in a small bay,\nwhere she remained till the storm had\nspent its force 24 hours later. The\npassengers describe tho gale as of unusual violence The wind fairly howled and when each wavo broke its crest\nwas picked up mid driven along like\ndrifting snow.

He was dressed iu\nclerical garb, and Mr. A. at once recognized him as tho exact counterpart of\nhis uncle, who lives in Oregon.\nTho apparition also turned for a moment toward the man, then regarding\nhim gravely it beckoned once, nnd\nmounting tho horse galloped slowly\naway.\nMr A. did not proceed tiny further,\nbut returned home at once.

J. II. White, pastor at the\nMethodist Ohurch, preached from 119\nPsalm, 7 to 11 v., and said; God's\nglory was always shown in nature, his\nwisdom and power shown in ihe creation, but the hope of salvation was\nshown in the precioUB records of\nhis revealed will. In the earliest ages\nof the Christian churches groat interest\nwas shown in the spread of the Word,\nbut they were at a disadvantage, as\nprinting was not discovered, at least\nwas not practiced among tho European\nnations; the scrolls had to be written\nby hand, thus tho full copy of tho\nSriptures woro rare and seldom Been,\nand only during modem li'iics tho\nspread of tho Gospel had assumed any\ngroat proportions. During the last\nhundred years there hnd been a continuation of the miracle on tho day of\nPenticost, and 18 ur ID tongues or languages had increased tu 200, and the\nwonderful works of God wero now-\nprinted in these and distributed, so\nthat almost every nation and peuplo\nhaving a language had been benefited\nand to those who had no language sufficiently clear, men nud v. omen had gone\nto teach iho Gospel by their lira.\nDavid here speaks of how wonderful\narc God's works in nature, and\nalthough thero appeals considerable\nrepetition, yot each explains somo\nphase of truth, and wo will follow the\nPsalmist. Firs', ho snys, \"The law of\ntho Lord ia perfect.\" The Mosaic law,\ncontained iu thu Ton Commandments,\nwas perfect. All human laws have certain imperfections, but St. Paul snys\n\"the law of tho Lord is holy\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094uo\ndross, nu inconsistency, no incompleteness. Tho books of the Old Testament\nare now attracting more attention,\nthero is a going bnck to get at the foundation, and somo say lhat tho great\nconflict of coming times will be upon\ntheso old books. Thero could be no\nmeaning to tho plan uf salvation but\nfur tho words of God transcribed back\nas far us Sinai. Men are now paying\nmore attention to tho secular portions\nof Moses' law; his was the best system\nof sanitary law promulgated, and on\nthe ownership of properly Muses' law\nwas perfect, complete; we nre a long\nway behind in matters of law. As\nBritons wo think our law perfect, but\nwo don't begin to como up tu these old\nlaws relating to revenue found in Leviticus nnd Deuteronomy, and I commend to thoso just now troubled about\nthe sources of revenue these old laws,\nand in the study oE them will ba re-\n(locted thoro our imperfection and\nguilt, and this, bringing condemnation\nund sense of guilt home to us, will be\ntho turning-point toward a bettor life,\ntoward Heaven. \"God's testimony\n(witness) is sure\" explains his own\ncharacter, giving us direction and foundation for hope, aud making Iho simple\n(humble) wise. \"The statutes of tho\nLord arc right\" (iu the decreed limit),\nin the lines lie has drawn about us, su\nthat we shall not stray. Some people\nare troubled because tho judgements of\nGod aro nut explained, becauso God\nhaa nut chosen to reveal his purposo;\namong other things, tho renson why a\nchild'should suffer for tho sins of its\nparents, and bo born diseased, decrepit, or of weak mind,.the innocent\nsuffering for the guilty. Sumo stumble\nbecause uf this, but the statutes uf the\nLord are right, and through His law all\naro bound u;t in one humanity, and\nthrough Christ taking upon Himself\nthat humanity we are saved and are in\nblood relationship with Him. \"Tho\nooinmandinonfc of the Lord is pure.\"\nTo those that keep thom they aro enlightening, cleansing, and showing that\nour need ia provided for. If they only\nrevealed our lost stato, our condemnation, how wretched that revelation;\nbut God's commands were interwoven\nwith His morey, by tho laying on\nChrist the sins ot us all; look at both\nBides. The rov. gentleman, in conclusion, reminded his hearers uf the\nself-co n vie ting before the \"groat white\nthrone,\" and tho heart echoa thero\nwould ho iu eternity of the justness of\nGod's judgments, and very strongly\npointed uut David's estimate of tho\nvalue of God's judgments, being \"more\nto be doeired than gold,\" nnd alluded\nto the prevailing lovo of gold in tho\neity, for which, although must men\nwould not actually commit crimes, yet\nthey would compromise good and evil,\nand warned his hearers against being\ncarried away in tho oxcitomeut of increased values, and entreating them to\ngivo God His own and to tako God's\nword and press it to their hearts, and\nthat bye-and-byo wo shall know Hi3\nwill concerning us.\nTlio clmir are making great improvement, nnd evince a desire to had tho\ncongregation in their songs nf praise.\nThe novelty of tho instrumental\nchanges is wearing off aud there is a\nsettling down to truly congregational\nsinging.\nST. I'AUt.'s UHOltOlI,\nAt tho Reformed Episcopal church\nlast evening Mr. Ferris road tho very\nImpressive sorvico, and the pastor,\nRev. Thus. Haddon, preached from\n110 Psalm, 172 verse, \"My tongue\nshall speak of Thy word,'- and said:\nAs tho annual meeting of tho Bible\nSociety lakes placo in this city on\nThursday next tho ministers woro requested to specially tako up Iho subject uf \"the Bible\" to-day by way of\npreparation. No better subject can be\ndiscussed than the Bible, God's revealed will to mankind, tho text-bouk\nof thousand's of ministers and Sundny\nschool teachorB, by which man's position is established, light given as to\nhis destiny, through redemption by\ntho cross, opening up tho way tu\nheaven, and touching how to shun tho\ndeath that nevor dies und gain the inheritance. It elevates nations and\npeople, makes the savage a saint, makes\ntho world purer and happier, and I\ndesire with tho Psalmist that \"my\ntongue shall Bpeak of Thy word.\" To\nstate nil the Bible hns done would lake\ntoo long, and I can only outline.\nWhat would Great Britain, civilized\nEurope, and America have been if they\nhad not had the Bible ub tho foundation of their national history 7 Japan\nhad representatives abroad studying\ntho secrets uf the advance of the civilized nations, missionaries were laboring through the country, and the authorities wero calling for English\nspeaking teachers; hence Japan was\nbecoming civilized, they had found tho\nBible was tho secret. The Bible had\nbecome tho founder and suppurter of\nalmost every hutnano institution. The\nsword had boon tried ns a civilizer and\nfailed, whereas tho Bible had boon a\nsucceas, ns tho proof was apparent in\nmany of the Pacific islands. Tho\nBible had beon doing silent but effective wurk in many pirts of the dark\ncontinent, reducing rude Ianguagos to\nliterature, and teaching the healing\nart, pushing forward its luminous\noutposts, acting ns a pioneer in casting\nup tho highways, furnishing the only\nsuro foundation to science and human j\nbenefaction. The Bible missions reflected their light, opened up channels\nfor Christian trade, channels of lyealth,\ncontributing to geography, physiology,\nmineralogy, geology and othor scioiieer.\nAnd then looking at tho spiritual and\neternal side of the question, \"half can\nnover be told,\" and when we conceive\ntho help tj ourselves, oven though our\nvision cannot see, our intellect cannot\ncontemplate, all the good it does we\nmust say \"blessed bonk.\" The impossibility to dostruy.it, goes to prove\nits divine origin; they have tried to\nbum it and failed. They must first\nrid tho world of the millions of copies\nand rodi.ee them 'to ashes, rid the\nlibraries of books referring to it, destroy all the poetry and prose, enter\ntho courts of law and remove tho laws\nand codes derived from it, thon courso\nthrough tho galleries of art and slash\nand daub over tho works of genius\nthat artists havo produced, and go\nthrough the conservatories of music,\nthe baptistries uf churches, and even\nthrough tho comotries of tho dead, and\nwitli mallet and chisel erase the engravings\u00E2\u0080\u0094do nil this before you ean\noblitornto that book for which our\nfathers died. The more it is assailed,\nthu mure it shines; opposition only\nfans tho flame till it shines with greater lustre, and it is a wonder that mon\nare so foolish as tu try; for, if all traces\not it were obliterated, it would yet live\nin the hearts uf men, and it wuuld not\ntake long tu prepare a now edition from\nmemory by tlie aid of the thousands uf\nprinting presses. And while tho Bible\nsees all go to decay, it still lives, and\nis incorruptible nud shnll live till the\nangel who shall put une foot on the\nland and the other on tho soa sweareth\nby him that liveth and was dcud \"that\ntime was no more,\" and thia eternal\nendurance should bo a sufficient reason\nto adopt the text and to treasure tho\ntruths of tho Bible in our hearts, be\nguided by aud tako them as a rulo\nthrough lifo.\nThe church management have kindly\nplaced a desk in one of tho pews for\ntho use of reporters.\nST. ANDBBW'S OHURCH.\nRev. Thos. Scouler preached at tho\nPresbyterian church hist evening from\ntho 110th Psalm, 18v.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Open Thou\nmine eyes that I may behold wondrous\nthings out of thy hiw\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094 and spoke us\nfollows: In this chapter tho law of\nthe Lord is tho subject of tho Psalmist's\nmeditations. \"Blessed are tho nnde-\nlilod in the way who walk in the law\nof tho Lord;\" \"O, how I lovo Thy\nlaw, it is my meditation all tho day.\"\nThere was no subject mure congenial\nto tho Psalmist's mind; it engaged all his\npowers. But this prayer indicates that\nsomething more was needed than the\nmere exercise of reason tu understand\nthe wondrous things of God's law. It\nwas ttio anointing of tho eye salve\nspoken of iu tho buok nf Revelation.\nPaul Bays, \"Eye hath not seen, nor\near heard, neither hath it entered into\nthe heart of man to conceive the things\nwhich God hath luid up for them that\nlove Him, but God hath revealed them\nunto us by His Spirit.\" In the synagogue, in tho reading of the law, it was\ncustomary tu put a vail ovor the face\"\nIt was done as an aet of reverence, but\nit became an awful symbol of that vail\nwhich was over the mind of the Jew,\nwhicli rcmaiuoth untaken away until\nthis day. Light shineth nil arouud\nthom, but they are blind\u00E2\u0080\u0094blind lo tho\nspiritual meaning uf the scriptures.\nIt is not till this vail is taken away\nthat they oan understand tho scriptures. But this is nut the condition\nof tho Jews only. Many of the Gentiles are in the same aad condition.\nAnd this is not confined tu those iu\nheathen darkness only; but many who\nsit under tho preaching uf tho gospel,\nund think they understand tho scriptures, nre as blind as Bartimteus.\nTherefore we should all pray, \"Open\nThou mine eyes, that 1 may behold\nwondruus things out of Thy law.\"\nThere are certainly wondrous things-\nfound in tho law ol nature. Thero is\nnot a leaf, or insect, or creature of any\nkind, that has not laws by which they\nare regulated. Tho prayer of the\nPsalmist doubtless refors to all of God's\nrevealed will. Apart from God's ro\nvealcd will man could nover havo\nknown God. Tho laws uf nature may\nrevenl much nbout God, but they do\nnot tell us what He is Himself, nor do\nthey tell us what tho relation is which,\nsubsists botween God and mail. Winced a revelation to know this, and\nGod has revealed Himself tu us by His.\nword and Spirit. What wondruuu\nthings wo find in God's law! Thero wo\ngot tho idea uf tho truo God, His perfections, His attributes, His eternity,\nsovereignty, power, majesty, truth,\nrighteousness, lovo, and mercy. What\nwondrous tilings God's law reveals\nabout Christ! His lifo was unique.\nHe lived among sinnors, yot He was\nfree from sin. Ho died tho death, yet\n.those who condemned Him found nu\nfault in Him nt all. By .His resurrection He was declared tu be tho Sun uf\nGod with power. O, what wondrous\ntilings in tho bible we see! There we\nlearn that man is u lost sinner, but\nthat God in His wondrous lovo and\nmercy has provided n way by which\nhe may bo saved. And further, thnt\nthe Holy Spirit is essential to man's\nsalvation. Wo need our eyes to bo\nopened by tho Holy Spirit that wu\nmay see. In serving God there are\ncertain pro-requisites, and this is ono\nof thom, that our eyes may ba opened.\nTho second is humility; tho heart that\niB lifted up with pride cannot sec the\nwondrous things of God's law. The\nbible jb liko nu other book; wo must\nbo taught by tho Spirit, of God when\nwe como to His buuk. Mere intellect\nnover could comprehend tho things uf\nGod's law; it is with the heart man be-\nlievcth. But faith cometli by hutting,\nand the speaker showed that it was the\nduty of Christians to givo the word uf\nGod to tho whole world; that wan the\nwork in which the British and Foreign\nBible Society wns engaged; it was a\nworthy work, and should have the\nliberal support of ull true Christians.\nThe splendid accouatic properties uf\nthe new church aro very untie ible,\nboth in speaking and sinning, and.\nwith the really fine ergan and the constant improvement of the choir, (ho\nmusic calls for commendatory notice.\nPllOVINCIAT.
