ES THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. The word "faith" with its derivatives and synonyms, occur five hundred tifi®s in' the 'New Testament. its use is significant of its supreme importance. Faith is the condition of ssivations of baptism; indispensable to prayer; means of acceptance with God; enters as a principal element into every phase and act. of the religious life. ¥ An effort is made to have faith appear as. silly cand shallow. Faith is declared inconsistent with "advanced sciencesand positive philosophy. Yet these are themselves based upon hypotheses that demand faith. Faith is indispensable to science as well as rebgion. 5 Faith is the reception of truth as truth upon testi- moty ; Christian faith is the reception of 'truth as such upon the testi- mony of God. : John Locke says, 'Faith is the assent to any proposition oun theseredit of the proposer." It has pleased God to witness to certain supremely .impori@nt truths, indispensable for us to know; such as, possibility and means of pardon, certainty of immortality and resurrection, . Common law defines the strength of testimony as dependent upon the intelligence and integrity of the witness.

This letter also shows how medicines of proven merit often cure the most compli- cated cases after, doctors had given up hope. In this case two doctors said Mr. Hyndman could not get better, and, in fact, h¢/daily grew weaker so long as he followed their treat- ment. This is a remarkable victory for Dr. Chase's Medicines and you will find the details of the case inferesting. : Mr. T. Hyndman, Farmer, Rupert, Que., writes: --*1 had been gradually failing ip bealth for two Years and tried many remedies, among others I used Dr. Chase's Kidoey- Liver Pills and found them doing me good. Some neighbors told me the Doctors said they were dangerous so I quit their use and went to the doctor. - Under his treatment I got so weak I was unable to raise my head from the pillow, and he told me that I had Anaemia of the blood and couid never be better again, so I Sent for anotherdoctor and he told me the same.

The eléments of faith are know- ledge, assent and trust. Martingen says that it is only true of lifeless things, such as a ring or chain, that we must have all the parts in order to have the whole. We may have the whole of faith withdut having all the objects of faith. "Thy faith hath made thee whole," He said in many instances, without laying down any other conditions. So He declared Peter to be blessed because he confessed him to be the only begot- ten Son of God, although many articles of the apostolic creed are lacking in his confession, Our. Lord adjudges salvation to men who join them- selves by faith to Him as Redeemer. without that faith being developed in all its parts. Julius Muller says, in substance, that in the act of belfeving, assent, and trust there is an absolute and truthful surrender of Gne's self to the object of faith; and if that object be (he Lord Jesus Christ, it is a surrender to thé personal Savior---a surrender of whieh the simplest child is capable. .
