THE FLESH POTS 0P EGYPT; Stand for the Wor Id and the Things of the World. (Entered according to Act of tho Par- liament of Canada, in the year One lhousand Nino Hundred and Three. by Wm. Baily, of Toronto, at the Department of Agriculturmottawa.) A despatch from Chicago says’ Rev. Frank D0 ,Witt Talmago preach- ed from the following text: “And the children of Israel said: Would to, God we had died by the hand of the: Lord in the land of Egypt, when ch sat by the flesh pots, and when we did oat bread to the full! . . . Thcn said tho Lord: Behold, I will ruin bread from Heaven for you." â€"- Exo- dus 16:3-4. “Now these things were our cxâ€"I amples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.” â€" I. Cor. 10:6. The record of the children of Israel lives to this day, that it may teach us of the waywardness, stubbornness and blindness of the human heart,‘ and the faithfulness, the patience and the generous care of God for His children in all ages. Israel is a mir- ror which God holds up for us to look into. It is a mirror which has the penetrating power of the X ray, and reveals in the human hcart and life that; which lies beneath the. sur- face, and it is a mirror, also, whoso polished surface catches the light of‘ Heaven and reveals God in all His fulncss. Let us look into this mirâ€" ror that we may drink in the picâ€" ture which God paints of the redemp- tion of his DCUDIN from bondage, of His leading, of His dclivcranccs. of His care for them, and 0f llis wonderful patience with them in their. waywardncss and rebellion. And as we sit before the picture we may learn its lessons, for “these things were our examples (or, as the mar- gin of the revised version puts it, ‘in these things they bccome' figures of us'), to the intent that we should not lust after ovil thing, as they also lusted." Some Bible cxcgetes, fn interpret- ing the history of Israel's bondugc. deliverance, wilderness journey and possession of the promised land as figures illustrating the spiritual life, have held the wilderness journey as a type of THE CHRISTIAN WALK in this life. the crossing of tho Jor- dan as a type of dcath, and the p05- session of the promised land as set-I ting forth the soul's eternal dwel- ling P1800 in Heaven; but there are 50 many difficulties in the way of sum interpretation. and it fails to harmonize so many essential details with the teaching of Scripture re- garding the Christian lifc and of Heaven, that we are inclined to ac- cept the interpretation of other com- mentators, who believe that the. wil- derness journey is a type of the re- deemcd but unsanctified believer in Christ Jesus, and that the crossing of the Jordan typifies full surrender to God, and the possession of the promised land illustrates the sancti- fied and victorious Ill" of lhi‘ saint. Some of the difficulties which pre- sent themsclvcs against the reason- ableness of the first-named interpre- tation are that the crossing of the Jordan marked the beginning of real conflict with evil and the enemies of God, while death marks the passage of the soul from the scene of conflict with evil and the enemies of God in this world to the blisg and peace and joy of Heaven. The promised ~land was filled with the enemies of right-1 eousncss. Heaven cannot be such a. place. The promised land was the scene of desperate fighting, but not such conflicts await the saint In Heaven. while on the other hand in this life the sanctified saint is the one who has the most dcsporate{ fighting to do against the enemies of God. Satan is not troubling very much with the saints who are wan- dering around in the wilderness, but when they cross over into the promâ€" ised land of the consecrated 311.1 sanctificd life in Christ Jesus then he begins his bitter and rclentless warfarc. The promised land Wit- nessed the wandering from God of His children: their indulgence 1n idolatrous worship, their punishment by famine and pestilence and war, their captivity, but none of these things can be true of tho HIEAV'ENLY EXPERIENCE. Paul in the seventh of Romans draws a faithful picture of the saint who is struggling through thc wil- derness experiences, and when at last in utter despair hc cxdaims: “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” he suddenly lifts his eves and the vision of the promised 10nd of the higher Christian life bursts upon his soul and he tri- umphantly cries: “I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” And then in the eighth chapter he gloriously unfolds the life of the. saint who has entered the promised land of full blessing‘in Christ Jesus. He scales height after height until at last all the possibilitics of that promised land lie spread out in their, rich beauty and wide extent before, him and he shouts: “We arc more. than conquerors, through Him that' loved us, for I am persuaded that! neither death, nor lifc, nor align-13,! nor principalities, nor .powcrs. nor things present, nor things to comc,;_ nor height, nor depth, nor any other“ creature, shall be able to separate, us from the love of God, which is in; Christ Jesus our Lord." The redeemed but unsanctif‘icd beg licvcr stands before us. _ of the Lamb, Christ Jesus, has been; I I .__‘____â€"_â€"â€"-â€"â€"-'. house, and entered the room “Annie !" I cried.

(To Be Continued.) l ment :from the hand of God I _. sprinklcd upon the lintcl and door posts of his heart and hc has gone out, of the land where darkness and dcath rcign. He. has had some bli-ssed experiences. Oh, the sweet-I ncss and joy of those first. days of] the new life. Jcsus' presence has been fclt. He has lcd unerringly. He has delivered mightily when the Devil has pressed hard. The bitter pools have been made sweet, and the soul has rested in the sbudc of the data palms of Elim and drank of her refreshing waters, but tho Lord leads the soul out into the wildernoss again, and there in the palace of dis- cipline the soul falls to lusting aftcr the flesh pots of Egypt. The faith, which has delivered and the hope! which has led out towards the pro- mised land of a bcttcl‘ lifc, have been obscured and forgotten as the strong impulses for the old life, its pleasures, its associates, its uni'chl stricted activitics gain the upper hand. The most unhappy person on earth is the WILDERNESS CHRISTIAN. How could the children of Israel murmur so ? we ask. We wonder with exceeding and impatient amaze- that they could think that death amidst, the flesh pots of Egypt was better than the feeding of the Lord in the wilderness. And while We. marvel we forget that Israel isI but a figure of us and plainly illus~ trafcs the spiritual conditions which I prevail in our own lives so often. lHankcring after the flesh pots of Egypt prevails to the present day. God’s children don't gct very far into the Wilderness experiences of the Christian life sometimes before they begin to long for the indul- gcnccs of the old life. They forget that their hungcr can be satisfied by the Lord who is leading them, that the manna of God's bounty is as better than the locks and onions of Egypt as is life buttcr than death and Hoavon better than earth. Esau was willing to sell his. much birthright for a mess of pottagc, and the Christian sometimes is al- mo'st ready to give his soul's hope for tho indulgence and pleasure which! the world has to ofler. Lot's wife, hankering after the luxuries and pleasures of doomed Sodom, lookcd back, and with the longing look came lagging footsteps until the brimstonc and alkali which were raining upon the city fell also upon her and encrusted her, and she was lost. Why was it that the children of Israel fell into this sad condition, this yearning for the flesh pots of Egypt ? If We had gone. into that camp and passed from family group to family group and talked with the murmuring people We would have discovered at least two reasons for their discontent. First they had forgotten the glorious land for which they had set out, and second, they had taken their cycs off the cloudy pillar of God's presence and were looking into their meal bags. And the Christian 10-day FALLS INTO AN ERROR Similar to that of the children of‘ Israel when he forgets the highI calling of God in Christ Jesus for which hc has set out and which is ‘realizcd in the promised land of full surrender to God, and when he takes his eyes off the Lord and begins to look into the meal bag of his own paltry. mean possessions and then lusts after the _things of the old life. Human nature is over the same. Israel is a figure of us. The dreary Wastes of the wilderness made them utterly forgot the pro- mised land of fullness towards which they Were journeying, and the back- ward look shut out the vision of the glowing cloud. And with us the :temporary desolation and weal-iness of the wilderness journey, the cross we have to bear, the trial we have to endure, the failure We experience and thc disappointment and dis- couragcmcnt WU have to face, all drive from mind and heart tho good land toward which the soul is jour- neying, and then, instead of looking upward towards the hills from whence cometh our help, we look within ourselves for comfort and 'satisfaction, we turn our gnzc buck- ward toward thc old lifc with its indulgenccs, and is it any wonder that like the children of Israel we fall to lusting after the flesh pots of Egypt and murmuring against; God ‘3' But God's voice sounded out over that rcbcllous camp. Oh, what a lad We have ! Insf'cad'of abandon- ing those ungrcatcful pcoplc ! in- stead of chiding and punishing them, lrlc says : "Behold, I will ruin brcad from llcaven for you.” And that is what God says to your soul and mine. Bread from Heaven ! Feeding Daily sup- ply : enough for the day's needs : thc gathering of the manna the first business of the day. Egypt's flesh pots could no longer nourish Israel. "l‘hc. world can no longcr food and satisfy your soul's hunger. GOD MUST FEED YOU. It will be a daily supply, it will be only cnough for the day, and the gathering must be done before the heat of the activities of the day have moltcd the manna and robbed you of your portion. Oh. how say to the soul : "I will ruin bread from Heaven for you.” Listen 2 oh, of her name upon my lipS, I ran into soul. Is the murmur of discontent upon your lips ? Are you hankering after the flesh pots of Egypt ? Lis- ton ! God is speaking in the pre- scnt. through the experiences of the past in His dealings with Israel and saying to you that He will abundantly. Tho. needy Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well was promised Living Water that: would satisfy tudes that had forever. The multi- eatcn of the loaves and fishes were pointed to the Bread of Life which could satisfy the soul's hungerings, and the Liv- ing Water and the Living Bread from Heaven are for you and for me. Let us stifle the hauler-rings after the old life and the old in- dulgcnces by deep quafls at the well of Living Water ! Let us forâ€" get the flesh pots of the old life in the abundant and full partaking of the Bread of Life which God gives !

The grass is green win-r0 bluebirds prccnI and robin redbrcusts hop; the base. ball flies along the skies, the circus is on top. The lively moth devours the cloth and circles round the lamp, and tcrrapin sets all agrin the frat- ures of the tramp. The quinine pill doth gayly fill the, farmcr to the brim; amid tho gush tho whitewash. brush begins; to skip and skim. 'l‘hc‘ lively colt begins to bolt the pas-, ture with his dam: the oyster skates and ubdicatcs in favor of the clam. And so we gayly skip and trip and somcrsalt all day, and put to rout all care and shout, “Hip, hip! Hoo- ray, hooray!" AND THE WAITER F ET CHIED. The seedy dincr was enjoying him- self vastly. “Waiter," he called, “fetch a nice piece of boiled turbot." The dish was obtained, plaCc-d bc- fore the custonn-r. consumed, and then he called again: “Waiter, fi-tch a choice portion of curried fowl-and, oh, \vnitcr, fetch another bottle of wine!" ' The bill mountcd up: but still the seedy one called the waiter to fctch one dainty after another. At last he lit a fragrant cigar and sat back. “Waiter," he callod, fetchâ€"«4 “chsir.” said the waiter, "fcfch you your bill?" "No," came the languid answer, “fetch a policeman; l haVcn't got a cent!" I BUSINESS AT MONTREAL. Montrcal, June 2,â€"Grainâ€"No. 1 Manitoba hard whcat, 78c: N0. 1' Northern, 705C.

Toronto, June 2. -- With cattle 10 to 15c lower in the Chicago market yesterday, which meant good to primc steers at $4.90 to $5.80, if; was to be expected that the export cattle buying would be slow in the Toronto market to-duy. It so turn- ed out, for, though there. was not a heavy run, salcs Wcru slow and dif- ficult to makc. 'l‘hcrc wcrc not. many choice export cattle offering, ‘in fact, but 0V0" if there had been Ithc, export trade. was off, in View of the prices at. which prime export. cattle can now be bought in Chi- ,cago. [Tudor illf‘St' circumstances iholdcrs of export cattle in the noun- :try Would do wcll to take the ad- vfcc of some of the operators here to rkccp their cattle back a little while until conditions changc. which will I probably be whcn 1b..- last of the Ar- gentine cattle. (now on the road to England, but shipped bcforc the cm- bargo was put on tho Argentincs) 1arrivc. A grcut number of these Icuttle were on tho way at the time Ithc embargo was put on, and this IcircumslntiCc, along with the present Igrcat rush of clu-ap cattle in the IUnitcd States markets, constitutes Ia pretty heavy handicap to the ICanadinn market. In a couple or ithrcc wocks’ time from now no more iof tho Argcminc cattln will be al- lowed to land in England. The {prospects will thcn be better for lCanadinn cattle.
