Dr. Paterson Smyth, of | Montreal, Who Advocates Prayers | for the Dead. Much interest was aroused among the ministers of Montreal by the ad-| dress given before 'he Ministerial As- Ir. Paterson Smyth, George's, in which he for the! sociation by Rev. rector of >i. strongly sdvocated prayers dead. "Death and Afterwards" subject' of the address, Ih. Paterson Smyth declared that the "1," the self, in every ene of us, of which we were | all conscious, was in this hie only at the begwnning of its career. This sarthly life was most important, for its acts made habits, habits made charatter, and character made de tiny. After this life came the next stage--the "'near-hereafter," he called it--the stage hefore the judgment. And after this the "far-hereafter," at the second coming of our Lord. What we called death, he said, was really birth into the next stage of life, just as the death of the eaterpil- lar was the birth of the butterfly : was the A Vivid, Active Life, "The waiting life before the judg- ment is not an unconscious sleep which is an idea one sometimes hears of--but a real, vivid, active life into which our dear ones are gone. This sleep theory is condemned as a heresy by the early church, and declared by our reformers to be contrary to scripture. It is a life so vivid that our Lord's wpirit is said to have been quickened, made more alive, as He passed in. So vivid that the men ofthe old" werld eould-listen to His preaching. So vivid that Moses and Elias--those eager, impetuous lead- =srs--in that wondrous life could not be held by its bonds, but broke through to stand on the mountain with Christ a thousand years after death. So vivid that Lazarus (whom our Lord deseribes as in Abraham's bosom) is depicted as living a full, clear, intelligent life; and Dives is suffering and thinking about his five brothers on earth "Do you want further proof ?

The poor thief did not know what was beyond that veil-- darkness, insensibility, stupor, obli vion. The only one on earth who did know hung there beside him. And when the poor dying one turned with the words, "'Lord, remember me when Thou comest in Thy kingdom." He promptly replied. '""lo-day you - shall be with me." Ii anyone knew, surely He knew. If it meant anything, it meant "Fhere shall be no_oblivion, no unconscious sleeping. To-night, whén our dead bodies Lie here upon the cross, vou and I shall live and know each other as the two men who hnng dying together on Calvary." Beyond the Grave. After dealing fully with the mystery of death itself, the speaker in thought followed the Jeparted to the other side of the grave, quoting from serip- ture tp show first that it was a vivid congcious life into which the departed had gone; that he remembered clearly the gld life and the old home, the old comrades and the old scenes on earth: and that he had taken with him all the treasures of mind and soul whien by God's grace he had won on earth. Then came the fascinating discus- 'tom of the sion of recognition in the unseen world, of growth and purification, and finally of the great article of the creed, the communion of saints, which RAINCOATS FOR MEN AND LADIES.

"Though safe with Him," "though forgiven their sins, they are still imperfect, . still needing to grow in grace and purification, in fitness for the final heaven by and by. And we ean help. their' growth as théy can help ours." he said, Keep Dear Ones in Prayers. He recognized that some deeply re ligious people shrank from the thought of prayers for the departed. The rea- son was that this beautiful old cus Jews, the custom of the whole Chrietian church till the refor- mation, had grown into a great cor ruption--into a sordid traflic in masses for the dead. It was because of this that wen came to look with suspicion on prayer for the departed, and at length began to think that such pray- ers Were evel wrong. "Ah, it was a pity !" speaker. "Our dear ones have more quickly passed into oblivion. The great paradise life has almost faded from our view. We are the more lone- ; lv in our desolate bereavement. Ier- haps our dear ones bevond are the more lonely too. A friend said to me lately; 'I was a little child when the news came of my father's death far away. That night 1 prayed for him as usual. But my aunt stopped me, telling me 1 must not pray for 'my father now--that it was wrong. And I can remember still how 1 shrank back, feeling as though some one had slammed the door and shut father out- side !" "1 think," concluded Dr. Paterson Smythe, 'that we should be happier and better, 1 think the unseen world would come back more clearly on our horizon, if we kept our dear ones in our prayers as we used to do before they died.
