This was the basic truth of Jewish life. It was announced to Moses out of the burning bush in the Desert of Midian : “And God said, I am that I am. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel. Jehovah has sent me- unto you." It was set forth with the manifold emphasis of the successive plagues at the court 0! Pharaoh. when Moses said. "Thus saith JehOVIh, Let my people go 8" It was proclaimed with the solemnity o! a fundamental statute ilrom the flaming mountain, when. amid thunders and lightnings and the sound 0! the trumpet waxing louder and louder. a Voice was heard saying, . "Lam Jehovah your God, who hath brought you fort-h ‘ out o! the land of Egypt. out o! the ‘ house of your bondage.

The last trace 0! its govern- ment‘ was blotted out. All tribal distinctions were obliterated. The nation as such was extinguished like a falling star, leaving only a. lurid trail behind it. “Maren, v: 3 01' ‘grent v: .66., . The c un- is in I): We!

Thus the Ten Tribes were scattered but not "lost"; as the Lord had said, "I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as com is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fell upon the earth" (Amos 9, 9).; One of the poets in writing of this dispersion says : “Like dew on the mountain, Like the {0am on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain.

In these days of Bib» oi lical controversy there are ,{aint- it hearted people who fenr'that the to Scriptures are in danger. In fact, It however, the assault upon the, Cita- vh del is more vigorous to-dny than it to ever has been. There are more )1 people who believe in the Bible than 38 8t any prfl‘ious time: and there are " more, too, who assault it. The arg- e ument has not changed. History e repeats itself. “The thingthat hath I. been shall be." The Ten Tribes d took issue with their brethren of the 3 Southern Kingdom in nefecting such 3 portions of the Scriptures as did not I' satisly their "inner consciousness :" end their descendants , receive only the Pentateuch to this day. The most virulent attack 0! {he mischiBV- ous critics of our time. is against ‘ I the truth of the prophetic writings; ' P it was precisely so among the Ten ‘ Tribes. Amos and Hosea were di- ‘ vinely sent to warn them of their impending fat». but all their warn- ‘ ings and entneaties were in vain. Amos cried. “Behold. the days are 3 1' III-l send a famine in the lend ; not a famine 0t bread. nor a thirst of ‘1‘ water. but a famine of hearing the 5 Word 0! God. And it shall mom to “ pm. saith Jehovah. um, I will 1“ darken the earth in the clear day." em But the people derided him. Hosea u cried. ”How shell I give thee up. 0 Ephraim o How an I .deliver the, D 0 land?

The law of retribution works auto- ‘ matirally. If it could be supposed that there was no God in the uni- verse, with the present order of things remaining. it Would still be true that the soul that sinneth shall die. A man recently convicted of murder in one of our municipal courts. cursed the magistrate who sentenced him to the gallows-tree, But was the magistrate to blame ? Nay. rather the statute ; nor even the statute except as it expresses a principle which is grounded in the necessities of social life. The men. women and children who were car- ried away from their happy homes in Palestine to a perpetual exile. had only themselves .to blame for the doom which betell them. It is the ‘ part of God, in his magisterial goflice. . to lay his forensic sanction Iipon a 4 law which is interwoven with our 1 nerves and sinews ;, "The soul that 1 sinnethjt shall die." U_..V~. ‘uuv pun v- an away} , men are falling and dying every day; yet no one blames the law for it. l a small arc of the great circle of L eternity which constitutes the life- time o! a man. The God who. as Anne of Austria said, "is a sure payâ€" master," has the unending aeons in which to balance his accounts with us. Wherefore. the death of a man is not annihilation, but a spiritual death of shame and mnorse for wasted privilogves‘and lost opportun- ities. The seed-sowing is here; the reaping is forever. And 'jwhatsoever a man soweth,= that shall he also reap.” The law is implacable : "The soul that sinneth it shall die." And that is a good law. It inâ€" volves a principle which lies at, the ‘vcry basis of social order and. per- ‘sonal well-being. The fact that it ‘ means retribution does not affect its integrity. No one doubts that the law of gravity, by which the worlds are kept true to their orbits. is a good law ;‘yet the average life of a "letter” (that is. a workman en- gaged on the steel framework of our 1 great buildings). is said to be only a ten years. By the law of gravity, ] It is not so, however, with indiv- iduals. A man, unlike a nation, is immortal. This must be considered, in any rational view of Providence. We see the righteous afflicted and the wicked "flourishing like a green bay tree" ; but remember, time is only la»-.. v. u , uncarlull', It must. be dealt with under the law of exact retribution; that, is, its accounts must be balanced here and now. another truth to be learned (mm ’the dispersion of the Ton Tribes is this: The Law 0! Jehovah is Irrevocable. The sum total of divine law on its retributive side is. “The soul that sinneth it shall die." This is true‘ of nations as of men. In the case of} nations the death is annihilation, in the necessity of the case. For a. na- tion has no life beyond the circum- scriptiou of time : wherefore, it must ! Of thee we sing : - Lend where our/fathers died Land of the-Pilgrims' pride From every mountain side f Let lmedom ring." It is not enough. however. to sing the praises of freedom ; -for freedom is an empty none unless it be founded on a just recognition of Him who has made and presented us a “Our fathers' God. to thm, , Author of liberty. To thee we sing: Long my our land be bright With freedom’s holy light : Protect us by thy might. Great God, our King!" It is a 'true seying, "The nation and kingdom that will not serve him shell perish." The only reason why our Republic should not continue until the end of time lies in the pos~ ‘ slbillty of its dcperturc from God.

The judicial business of this part of the proyinco was formerly done at Winnipeg. The sitting judge is Hon. Jos.

A CHAT WITH MR. JAS. BBYAHS The Ten Tribes of Israel had the Messianic hope. It ran through their Oracles. They had the same Refugio we had, the same Saviour from sin. 'e'And therq is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved.” It is in the Christ of the Scriptures that ,- we have the gospel of reconciliation- We have offended him, times without number; and what shall we do? The Way to Heaven lies over the Hill of Repentance. “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, cull ye upon Him whih- he is war: let the wicked forsake his way and the un- righteous man his thoughrs. and the Lord will have mercy upon him." God; and every moment of forget,- fulness marks a. further departure. God hates sin. It is the only thing in the universe which he does hate; And he must needs punish the sinner}. because were is no"sin except such as inhenes in him. It, then, the sin. ner persists in sin. he is. of neces- sity, heaping up wrath against tho day of wrath. For 'sin becomes habit ; and it is a true saying, "Habit is hell.” Third : Let us sock pardon in Christ. ' hat is doing at his home in: Morden, Mm- Son of Lind- say's Centenarian I am aware that it is not in {my [ ion to‘speak on this wise-‘ As Doo- : tor Dale and Doctor Berry were 2 coming from a Church Conference in London, the former said, "Do you think that, in our time,.th‘ere is ‘ embody who fears God ?"'to which the latter replied, "I do not know. ; but, in any case, in our argument today we have been taking great. liberties with Him." In our-SW tion and miteration of -th‘e tme saying, "God is love,{"we. are in: danger of forgetting the sterner side of his character, which is set forth in the words, “Dun- God is a census»; wing fire." In our persistent enort to: dig-airy man, we are in denim-pf lonâ€" getting that God is his Crater; and that as such, he ,has always the right to say, "Be still and know that I am God 1" Second : Let us hate sin.
