$ B P ALL LOVELINESS S LAME No Person Should Lose Heart and Hope Because of His Mistakes We speak of "the communion of saints,‘‘ but is there not also a communion of sinnnersâ€"are we not Bbound together by our lapses! _ ‘At first thought we seem to be drawn toward one another by our excellencies, but a little reflection will convilice us that our truest attraction lies in our defects. i Ionenelmseaneeiemea enc oo uns o I do not write this in praise of immorality. I am no "devil‘s adâ€" vocate." â€" Over and over again, whoever speaks of moral laws at all must sound the warning that what he says must not be carried too far; that, no matter what his truth, it is but half the truth; the other half abiding in the common sense, balance, and judgment of the reader‘s mind. But the truth of is to be taken with Using thus due discrimination, we can get good out of the fact that practically all lox:eliness is lame. Love does not leap toward perâ€" fection ; it clings to imperfections. No class is so universally loved as babies, who are most incomplete. It is their helplessness that apâ€" peals; and all our action rushes forth in response. So also a moâ€" ther will love a crippled child more than a sound one. Slips, errors, and sins have the quality of lovely lameness only in those who struggle against them and fall because ®f their humanity. Not to struggley but to turn and love and follow evil for its own sake, is not human at all; it is devilish. THE SUNDAY SGHOOL STUDY Lesson V.â€"The fiirding of the Book _ _ of Law, 2 Chron. 34. 14â€"33. 1 Golden Text, Psa. 119. 11. 14. Hilkizh . . . found the bookâ€" Ehe fact that it was found at the time the money was being brought into the temple for the necessary repairs, makes it seem a natural inference that the book was hidâ€" hen where the money was kept. Given by Mosesâ€"This detail is not given by 2 Kings, the older reâ€" cord. The Chronicler has in mind the entire Pentateuch, whereas, as noted above, the account in Kings implies only the book of Deuterâ€" enomy. Many critical students of the Old Testament now believe the main portion of Deuteronomy was written, not by Moses, but at a later time, and was made up of materials of an earlier date. 16. Shaphan carried the book to the kingâ€"A comparison with 2 Kings 22. 9 shows that this menâ€" tion of the book should not have been made at this point. Its inâ€" troduction here, anticipating the narration in verse 18, makes 2n awloward statement._ What this seribe actually did was, first of all, To report to the king the compleâ€" tion of his work in connection with the repair of the temple, which had been intrusted to the care of the ie\'it‘es. 18. Read thereinâ€"The writer réâ€"| eognizes the repair of the temple, which had been intire Pentateuch to the king, and so says he read only portions of it. Admitting that it was the book of Deuteronomy that was read, the statement in 2 Kings that "Shaphan read it‘"" is at once credible and natural. 19. He rent his clothesâ€"The deâ€" nunciation and cures found_ in Deut. 23 would be apt to move the king deeply as he thought of his people‘s neglect of the covenant of Jehovah. 90. Ahikamâ€"Spoken of by Jereâ€" miah (26. 24) as a worthy courtier whao defended the prophet on a criâ€" Meal cccasion, and the father of Gedaliah, who soverned the cities of Judah after the fall of Jerusaâ€" % lem. & s #e 91.

What is really human is to err and hate it; to sin and loathe ourselves for it, to. slip. and to be ashamed of our slipping. : f And it is in this battling, this Alpâ€"climbing, that characterizes the human soul, that its loveliness inheres. We admire those who are on the heights; we Fove those who are scrambling up, with torn hands, bleeding knees, doubting hearts, spent breath, full of fearsâ€"but climbing, climbing | John has a lightâ€"giviag saying : "‘Herein is love ; not that we loved God, but that he loved us.‘"‘ Love is always from the higher to the lower, from the more to the less perfect. So tae CUhrist was called "‘TgIRK FRIEND OF SINNERS." Any soul that has genuine greatâ€" ness, the kind of holiness that springs from grandeur of soul inâ€" stead of from rehned egoism, will ever be smitten with love toward the weak and passion cursed, and not with disgust. It is the mark of Jesus‘ majesty that he was drawn so mightily to our foolish and vice shot numanity. Contempt has no place in a soul that loves. How vain, then, our fears that our dead. who have been long in the pure perfection of heaven, may despise us! Directly the contrary | for the nobler they grow, by the side of him who loved the weak and wicked with so miraculous a passion, under his tutelage who put the sign of the cross upon the diâ€" vine stooping to our lowliness, the nobler they become, I say, and the more they learn of the inward mystery of love, the more they stoop to kiss our blind eyes and to bathe our twisted wills and lusts with their tears. Lame, lame!‘‘ cry out all the heavenly host as they see this toilâ€" ing band of mortals painfully writhing up the slopes of light, "lameâ€"and lovely :‘ DR. FRANK CRANE. (Nek. 6. 14). Huldah must have been a woman of acknowledged reâ€" pute as a prophetess, inasmuch as the messengers of the king sought "inquire of Jehovah.‘‘ We have no further information concerning her than what is contained in this, and the parallel account in 2 Kings 22. 14.20. _ Her husband‘s grandâ€" father was keeper of the garments kept for special festive occasions at the palace. 24. All the cursesâ€"See Deut. 28. 15.28. A more terrible fate for the city and the nation could harddy be imagined. 98. Gathered to thy grave in peaceâ€"As Josiah was slain in the battle of Megiddo, these words, if taken literally, are at least a testiâ€" mony to the genuineness of the prophecy. As a matter of fact, beâ€" cause of his personal piecty and huâ€" mility, the king was. spared the agony of witnessing the evils which befell his people.. 99.

Caused all . . . to stand to it â€"That is, to keep the law. Accordâ€" ing to the account in Chronicles (see lesson for July 23), the reforms of Josiah had preceded the fiindâ€" ing of the law book, and_ had sprung, not from the reading of the law, but from the natural deâ€" sire of a pious king. The followâ€" ing verse. ,therefore, may be reâ€" garded as a summary of the reform work of Josiah. 33.

The newspapers have been reâ€" porting omissions on the part of enumerators of the census, especiâ€" ally in the large cities of the Doâ€" minion, and notwithstanding the care of the Census Office to enjoin a performancâ€" of accurate and full work on the part of enumerators it is possible that in some instances persons and even families have been passed over. It is known at the office that many reports of omissions are without Soundation, and that generally the enumeration has been well and fully made, alâ€" though it is yet too early for a final decision. The fact is that the. census of a district of enumeraâ€" tion area was often not complete,. when complaints were first publicâ€" ly made. The Census Office carâ€" nestly déesires that the name of every man, woman and child in the country, as well as all other inforâ€" mation called for in the schedules, should be recorded as the statute and the instructions require. But lest there should be an inadverâ€" tent omission on the part of any enumerator, the Office respectfulâ€" ly invites the coâ€"operation of the public for the completion of a full census. To this end persons who believe or suspect that they have not been taken are asked to notify the Chief Officer of the Census at Ottawa, giving their names, post office address, street and number, if residing in cities town> or vilâ€" lages. or concession and number of lot if residing in country placâ€" es. Letters containing informati>n of this nature are postage free, and if it is found that such perso .s have not been enumerated in the returnus made to the Census Office means will at once be taken to reâ€" medy the defects through the loâ€" cal officers of the Census who were employed in the work. and who are responsible if any mistakes have been made in their respective enumeration areas. s s Official Statement in Reference to QOmission of Names.

Two hundred pasâ€" sengers on the Huron were taken off as the vessel began to settle. They were transferred without difâ€" ficulty to the steamer City of Chatham and brought to this port. The Huron is said to have gone on the shoal after bearing out of the channel in a fog. She is now tied up at Richards Landing, on St. Joseph‘s Island, resting on the bottom. ALMOST SWEPT OVER FALLS.

A despatch from Paris says : The playwright, Henri Bernstein, who has a great number of duels to his record, added still another to the list on Friday when he fought Leon Daudet, editor of L‘Action Francais, first with pistols and then with swords. Both men were wounded, but it is not believed seriously. M. Berustein took exception to articles which appeared in M. Daudet‘s paper, and challenged the editor. The duel came off at the Pare des Princes bicycle track. Four pistol shots were exchanged, but without result. The combatâ€" ants then took swords. In the first bout Daudet was disarmed and received a scratch on the foreâ€" head. In the second both duelâ€" ists were wounded in the arm. Daudet‘s wound appeared to be the more severe, and the seconds stopped the fight, the doctors deâ€" claring that the editor was not able to continue. DISEASE WAS NOT CHOLERA.

A despatch from London says: London, on Friday, sweltered in the hottest weather in five years, the temperature reaching 88 deâ€" grees in the shade. Lord Justice Williams, presiding over the Apâ€" peal Court, made an almost unpreâ€" cedented sacrifice of judicial digâ€" nity to comfort by doffing his wig and permitting the barristers to follow suit. The hot spell had been unbroken for. two weeks, and London threatened‘ with an ice famine. Thousands are flocking to the seaâ€" side and the country. No rain has fallen in the greater part of tne country districts for three weeks, and farmers are complaining bitâ€" terly of ruined crops. Growers Say That $100,000 Loss Was Caused by Gales. A despatch from, Niagara Falls, Ont., says: Damage that will foot up to thousands and thousands of dollars was caused in the fruit belt of Niagara by Monday‘s high winds. Some say $100,000 will not cover the damage. Fruit and vegetables were the chief sufferers, woile trees were uprooted and branches were torn from trunks, spoiling many beautiful shade trees. . In some places it is estimated that from 5 to‘ 10 per cent. of the peach crop was threshed from the branches, and from 10 to 20 per cent. of the pear crop is now on the ground. Fruit growers along the Niagara River declare the loss to be fully a third of the crop of the early apâ€" ples, and from 10 to 13 per cent. of the Fall and Winter yvarieties.

Two Serscants and A TREATYâ€"MAKING EPOCH A despatel® from Washington says: The treaty between the United States and Great Britain providing for the arbitration of pecuniary claims between the two countries in accordance with the general arbitration treaty was raâ€" tified by the Senate in executive session on Wednesday. . Realization of Peace Among Nationg Reaches Advanced Stage The treaty provides that within four months either of the Governâ€" ments may submit to the other any claims which it desires shall be passed upon, the only condition being that the claims . shall be grouped. All claims not submitâ€" ted within the time specified are to be barred. A tribunal of #+hkree members, one of whom is to be chosen by the United States. another by Great Britain and the third by the first two, is provided for. _It is to sit in Washington. * With the treaty there was subâ€" mifted a long list of shipping claims against the British Govâ€" ernment and a much shorter list against this Government, consistâ€" A bulletin on the crops and live stock of Canada was issued J uy 13. The conmdition of the field crops of Canada for the month ending June 30, as complied in the Census and Statistics Office from the reports of a large staff of corâ€" respondents, is on the whole quite satisfactory, although o . account of uneven rainfall it is not uniform for all the provinces. Even in parts of the same province, as in Ontario, there is a considerab.e inequality. For the most part in that province excellent report are made, but there are districts in which the grains and hay have been badly affected for wans of raing in May and June. For the whole of Canada the{ condition of winter wheat is only 75.26 per cent. as comparced with 100 for a full crop. Tlus is ten per cent less than last year, two per cent. less than in 1909, and| nearly 14 per cent. less than three years ago. In Ontario it is only‘ 73 per cent. of a full erop, as comâ€" pared with 94.29 last year, 78.60 in 1909. and 88 in 1908. In Alberâ€" ta, the only other province in which winter wheat is largely grown, the condition this year is §3.392 per cont., compared â€" with 63.G2 in 1910, 65.6G5 in 1909 and 95 in 1908. Spring wheat in all the provinces this year is given the high average condition of 94.78 at the end of June, which is better than in 1910 by 12.62 per cent., better than in 1909 by eight per cent., and better than in 1908 by nearlâ€" 15 per cent. Ontario and British Columbia are the only provinces in whien the conditions are under 90, and in Saskatcheâ€" wan and Mamtoba ib is eloge to The average for barley is 93, which is six to fen per cent betâ€" ter than in the preceding vhree years. It reaches close to 95 in ‘the Northwe t proviaces, Prince Edward Island and New Brunsâ€" wick, and over 90 in Nova Scotia and Quebec. a point below 90 in Qunlario and only 84 in British Columbia. 100. Oats shows an average of 94.40 for all provinces, which is higher than any year since 1908, and 58 95 or higher in Prince Edward Isâ€" land, New Brunswick, Quebec and Nopthwest provinces. In Ontario it is cloge to 90, and over 90 in British Columbia. Rye, peas and mixed graims are given a condition of about 90 for the Dominion, and are higher than in anv. year beginaning with 1908. Hay and clover and alfalia are both below last year‘s condition, and pasture is % point higher. In the three Northwest proviaces the condition of pasture is over 100. The feature of late cereals is the increase of area in fiax, which is nearly 300,000 acres more than last year: Ihe largest increase of flax is in Saskatchewan, where _ this crop in recent years has grow= inâ€" to great davor. 2 AE esb en The numbers 0 show much chan but their condit June is very â€" classes are_ _ wit} points of 100, an« formity is sho~ The revolut en onâ€"Epids attacked Fort Simon and 1 100 Nes o c ue S bevs comnt 2 en on Egiday night. .
