In addition the bonds of the company aré Lo be guaranteed when the [west ern. division' of the great road has been Another concession, an important ono which has been made by the gov ernment is that relating to the eastern section, portions of which may be loased by the company a8 soon as they have been completed. + Likewise there has been an abatement of the terms of the agreement so far as they apply to the guarantee of bonds on thé western section. The limit in the prai- rie section, $13,000 a mile, remains, but in the mountain division the limit of $30,000 has been removed and for it one is substituted which enables' the {company to raise seventy-five per cent. | of the cost of construction. Still farther the position of tha bondholders is more clearly defined. | As the agreement originally stood a 7 default "on the part of the company involved the addition of three years interest to the liabilities of the com- _ | pany, and then there was the power or obligation of foreclosure. Now, in {place of foreclosing the company ap- points a manager, and he proceeds to operate the road, to collect and dis | tribute the earnings, until the liability | has been liquidated. The changes are strongly commended ot the ground that they are in rea: son, that they facilitate the perform: ance of the contract, and that Thy needs of the North-West warrant the construction of the transcontinental line with all possible expedition. There was a rumour that the eastern dic vision of the line--Moncton to Winni- peg--had been ghandonad. But there is no mention of this matter in hg later announcements, THE DEPOSED MR. MONK.

Jesus . 7' Other Events, 'The International Sunday school les- son for March 6th is found in Mark iv, 35-41. The golden text is the 29th verse' of the 107th Psalm. The Ameri- can revised version of the lesson is as (35) And on that day, when . « « even was come, He saith unto them, a Xo over, unto the other side. nd . .. leavi e multitude, they take Him oh he (37) And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, in- somuch that the boat was now filling. (38) And He Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion and they awake Him, and say wuato Him, Teacher, carést' Thou not that we perish ? (39) And He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, gnd there was a great calm. (40) And He said unto them, Why are ye . , . fearful ? . . .. have ve not yet faith ? (41) And they feared exceedingly, and said one to an other, Who then ds_this, that even the wind and the sea obev Him? It will be well in this connection for students of the lesson to study the following events : = Raising of widow's son, Luke 7-11- 7. John, the Baptists message, Matt. 11:2-19, ea anointed by a woman, x yi 'Second preaching tour, Luke 831-3. Healing blind and dumb man, tt. 12:22-37. Scribes and Pharisees warned, Matt. 12:38-45, Jesus' true kindred, Matt 3:31-35. Parables by the sea, Luke 8:4-18. Stillthg of tempest, Matt. 8:23.27. In the lesson on last Sunday the closing section of the great sermon on the mount was discussed. "The Ser- mon on the Mount" had produced a profound impression, and probably was the topic of conversation in every home. Various results followed. The Pharisees were embittered and indig- nant, for their hypocrisies were. thor- oughly exposed. The commen people, on the other hand, were made thoughtful and serious by these great teachings, and were more convinced of the character and claims of Christ. Among the instances of miraculous healing at this time were the healing of the leper, and of Peter's wife's mo- ther, and the cure of the centurion's servant, all of which greatly increased the popular sympathy and favor to wards Christ. Then His mode of teaching--by parable end illustrations from common life--was calculated = to attract the people to Him. Meantime the ruling classes were more and more opposed to Him, snd plotting His death. especting said that He used a pleasing variety: as (1) simple statement, (2) the pro verb, (3) the dialogue, (4) the par able, (5) question and answer, and (6) silence. The parable ccnsists of three elements: gn invented narrative, to impress a spiritual truth or lesson, in a pictorial way. Tha.practical thoughts of the les- son are : (1) "The other | side is the con- stant aggressive motto of the Master; 80 tdo should it be of the disciple. (2) Christ is fully human and fully divine. (3) the path of obedience may be into storms and perils, but is always the way of safety. {4) "Lo, 1 am with you alway" is the believer's assurance of protection and blessing. (5) Christ's methods with little faith is to lead it into 'danger, to let it wrestle: with the peril, to alarm and humble it, and to relieve, inspire, de- liver .and strengthen. The lesson shows the power of Christ over the storm, and in the fol lowing will be found other powers He possessed : Power over men--Matt. 4:18.25. Power over. disease--Luke 7'1-10. Power over death--John 11:32-45. Power over spirit--Matt. 17:14-21. : Power over gir and Satan--Matt. 4: 3. * Power to create anew--2 Cor. 5:1-21. Iron Ore In Africa. Harper's Weeklv In addition to the gold and diamond mines of Africa, iron promises to be an important industry, as the first blast furnace has just been erected near Pretoria, on the line of the rail way, and is located in the centre of iron deposits and in close proximity to coal supplies. The furnace, which will have a weekly capacity of 500 tons of pir iron, is to be followed K€ rolling mills and a steel-converting plant.
