It reâ€" quires money to build great enterprises. Men of means are afraid of a penniless projector, lest a loan be demanded. It requires money to print books, to build institutions. to pay instructors. No wonder the wise men of Christ‘s time laughed at this penniless Christ. "Why," they said, "who is to pay for this new religion? Who is to charter the ships to carry the missionaries? Who is to pay the salaries of the teachâ€" ers? Shall wealthy, established reliâ€" gion be discomfited by a penniless Christ?"‘ The consequence was that most of the people that followed Christ had nothing to lose. Affluent Joseph of Arimathea buried Christ, but he risked no social position in doing that. It is always safe to bury a dead man. Zaccheus risked no wealth or social poâ€" sitlion in following Christ, but took a position in a tree to look down as He passed.

So there derful magnetis me while I tell man, who came produce a thrill After the battle of Antietam, when a general rode along the lines, although the soldiers were lying down exhaustâ€" ed, they rose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his captivity, his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and two hundred and fifty thousand men flocked to his standard. It took three thousand troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men of wonâ€" derful magnetism of person. But hear me while I tell you of a poor youn« man, who came up from Nazareth to produce a thrill which has never been excited by any other. Napoleon had around him the memories of Marengo and Austerlitz and Jena; but here was a"man who had fought no battles, who wore no epaulettes. who brandished no sword. He had, probably, never seen a prince, or shaken hands with a noâ€" bleman. The only extraordinary perâ€" son we know of as being in his comâ€" pany was his own mother, and she was so poor that, in the most delicate and solemn hour that comes to a woman‘s soul, she was obliged to lie down, among drivers grooming the beasts of burden. n ou I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man deâ€" scended from high lineage is standing beside Him, and says: "My father was a merchant prince; he had a castle on the beach in Galilee. Who was your father?" Christ answers: "Joseph, the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there unrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ: ‘"Where did you go to school?"* Christ answers: "I never graduated." Aha! the idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the atâ€" tention of the world! Yet, no sooner does he set His foot in the towns or cities of Judea than everything is in commotion. The people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for a day, yet are so fascinated with Christ that, at the risk of starving, they folâ€" lowed Him out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before Him and says: "My daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his eyes, and says: "Lord, that my eyes may be opened." A poor, sick, panting woman presses through the crowd and says: "I must touch the hem of His garment." Children who love their mother better than anyone else, strugâ€" gle to get into His arms, and to kiss His cheek, and to run their fingers through His hair, and for all time lfl“â€" ting Jesus so in love with the little ones, that there is hardly a nursery in Christendom from which He does not take one, saying: "i must have them.

York despatch: Benjamin Boâ€" wen, of this city, had a most exciting balloox adventure last night. _ An Irnovation among the amusements at Coney Island a â€" passenger balloon was recently introduced. Its purpo:e was to offer a balloon ascension and an extended view of the surrounding country. After rising a hundred feet in the air it was arawn to the earth by means of a windlass. Bowen was the only passenger in the balloon on one of its trips last evening. He made the ascension in safety and was looking contentedly out to the sea, when the rope which held the balloon parted. Slowly the balloon began to rise. A fresh southâ€" ern breeze carried it inland with some rapidity. Again, I remark, there was no orâ€" ganisation in His behalf, and that was against Him. When men propose any great work, they band together, they write letters of agreement, they take plete the organisation, the more plete the organisation, the more and complete the success, Here was One who went forth without any organisaâ€" tion and slone. If men had a mind to join in His company, all right; if they had a mind not to join in his company, all well. If they came they were greetâ€" ed with no loud salutation; if they went away, they were sent with no bitter arathema. Peter departed, and Christ turned and looked at him; that was all. All this was against him. Did any one ever undertake such an enterprise amidst such infinite embarrassments and by such modes? And yet, I am here to say it ended in a complete triâ€" umph. Notwithstanding His worldly occupation, His poverty, His plain face, His unpretending garbâ€"the fact that He was schoolless, the fact that He had a brief life, the fact that He was not accompanied by any visible organisaâ€" tionâ€"notwithstanding all that, in an exhilaration which shall be prolonged in everlasting chorals, he declared: "I have finished the work which Thou IN A RUKRAWAY BALOON, REACHED EARTH VIA A TREE. gavest Me to do." Exciting Experiences of a Pleasure Seeker. have come to a throne T do not despise them. Hold it not back, oh wweeping mother! lay it on my warm heart, Of such is the kingdom of heaven." A crowd of nearly a thousand pleasure seckers witnessed the acciâ€" dent, and followed the course of the runaway airship, frant‘cally shoutâ€" ing to Bowen to slip the anchor ropes. Heeding their advice, he lowâ€" ered the grappling irons as far as the ropes would permit, and, fortuâ€" nately, as the balloon passed over a giant elm tree, the anchors caught well down in the branches. Bowen then found the way to open the jet which allowed the gas to escape. Gradually the balloon sank, until the carriage touched the _ topmost branches. Bowen clanbered out and reached the ground in safety. commendation of the Minister of Agriculture, the Lieutenantâ€"Goverâ€" norâ€"inâ€"Council _ may make such reâ€" gulations for the prevention and destruction of insects injurious â€" to trees, shrubs. and other plants, as may be deemed advisable. These reâ€" gulations are to come into effect and have the force of law after the pubâ€" lication in two issues of the Ontario Gazette, in every municipality which adopts the act by byâ€"law. The munâ€" icipalities adopting the act are to appoint inspectors to see to its enâ€" forcement, and it is provided that in case the owner or occupant of any lot neglects or refuses to comply with the regulations issued the inspector may cause the necessary work to be done, and the Council may enter the cost against the owner on the colâ€" lector‘s roll, and collect it with the taxes,. The municipal Council is to furnish the occupant or owner of every lot affected with copies of the Act and the regulations issued under it. The first Orderâ€"inâ€"Council made under the Act was issued on the 24th of May, and embodied the following regulations for the Aestruction of the codling moth which has caused such extensive injury to the apple crop during past years : 1. It shall ‘be the duty of every occupier of a lot within the municiâ€" pality, or if the land be unoccupied it shall be the duty of the owner of such lot, within one week after receiving notice as provided for in the act, to place bands (as hbereinafter described) upon the orchard trees located upon such lot, as follows: Upon all bearâ€" ing apple trees and pear trees, and upon all orchard trees of bearing age within forty feet of such bearing 2. The bands shall be made of burlap or sacking or similar suitable materâ€" ial, and shall be not less than four inches in width, and of three thickâ€" nesses, and shall be securely fastened at a conveniont polut ‘between the crotch of the tree and the ground. . 8. The occupant and owner shall have these bands removed and _ inâ€" spected, all larvae therein destroyed, and the bands replaced at intervals of not more than two weeks during the months of June, July and August. The efficacy of the remedy for the codling moth has ‘been thoroughly tested, and a general adoption of the act by the rural municipalities would very considerably increase the value of the apple crop. ‘The cost of preâ€" vention would be a small matter in comparison with the saving effected. ‘The Irish undoubtedly have a deâ€" lightful way of putting things. There is a story going round concerning a man of the Dublin Fusiliers who is now said to be a prisoner in Pretoria. In a ‘recent retreat one Irishman shouted to his comrade, * Be quick, Murphy, the retrate is sounded." " I can‘t," shouted the other, in reply. "And for why ?" "I‘ve just taken a prisoner." ‘Then bring him along wid ye," cried the other. "I can‘t get him to come." *"* Well, then, come away without him." " He ‘won‘t let me," said Murphy, in aggrieved tones, and he was left to his fate. On another occasion one of the soldiers was badly hit, and was lying down howling with pain on the sido of a kopje. A wounded compatriot who was lying close to him shouted out, " What the divil are ye making all that noise for?

He taught the disciples and the multitudes, Who ara blessed ? The poor in spirit ; thq mourners ; the meek ; the hungry and thirsty ; the merciful ; the pure in heart ; the peaceâ€" makers ; those persecuted for rightâ€" eviwness Zake. The promises mada are all rich and full and sure. II. Topic: Recking and Finding. Place: Same as Lesson I. Judge not harsh Judgment. As ye judge ye shall be judged. The hypocrite tries to pull out a mote from another‘s eye while a beam is in his own eye. III. Topic: Christ raising the dead. Place: Capernaum. Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, foll at Jesus‘ feet ; his daughter was at the point of death ; Jesu« went with him; _ news of her death ; the faith of Jairus encouraged; wreat walling ; Jesus reproves those who wail, and says the child is only gleeping ; He is ridiculed by the peoâ€" ple ; took only Peter, James and John and the father and mother and entered in where tho damsel was. She is raised, and they are charged to keep it quiet. IV. Topic: The centurion‘s humilâ€" ity and faith. Place: _ Capernaum. This miracle occurred â€" iminediately after the Sermon on the Mount. _ A sick slave ;. the elders sent ; the cenâ€" turion‘s good deeds urged ; _ Jesus went with them; friends are sent, and probably the centurion . goes himself, to meet Jesus; he says, I am not worthy, trouble not yourâ€" self, speak the word only ; Jesus says, This is great faith, not found in Israel; the cure wrought at once. V. Topic: Jesus encouraging and commending John the Baptist. Place: In southern Galiiee, probably it Nain. John in prison; sends two disciples eighty miles; two questions asked. Art thou the Messiah, or do we look for another ? VI. Topic: The doom of the imâ€" penitent. Place: In southern Galiâ€" lee. Cities rebuked ; they repented not; had been exalted ; opportuniâ€" ties slighted ; destruction certain. VII. Topic: Christ reproving Simâ€" on. Place: In southern Gailllee Th sermon over (see last lesson), Simon, a Pharisee, invited Jesus to dinner ; a womanâ€"a sinner, came in and washed, wiped, kissed and anointed His feet. X. Topic: â€" Jesus instructing His mpostles. Place: A village in Galllee, Jesus travels through Galilee _ on foot, teaching and healing ; is movâ€" l with compassion when He _ sees the ignorance and spiritual barrenâ€" ness of the multitudes; needs more laborers; sends the apostles out ; without money or extra garments; expecting all kinds of persecution ; but, however, under the protecting care of the Father, Jesus continues His missionary work alone. VIII. Topic: Hei Place: In a boat, Capernaum. Jesus . XI. Topic : Herod‘s great crime. Place: Machkerus. The death of John occurred about the time the twelve returned. Herod Antipas was ruler of Galilee and Perea. When he heard of the mighty works of Christ he said John is risen. John had rebuked sin in higtLrplnces. XIIL Topic : "Bread in the desert." Place : Near Bethsaida on the northâ€" east shore of the Sea of GalÂ¥\ee. God can supply bread where bread is least likely to be found. Christianity is a great broad "river of blessing flowing through the world." PRACTICAL SUR\'EY., Lesson I. The preacher was the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince â€" of preachers, the great prophet of the church, the Light of the world. Othâ€" ers had done valiantly, but Christ excelled them all. The place was a mountain in eastern Galilee. Our Lord had no ,convenient place in which to preach ; He finds no better %ulptt than a mountain can afford. he auditors were His disciples whom He called unto Him, and the multiâ€" tude. The sermon, the greatest on record, was directed to His disciples. poor woman was healed. Word came that the daughter was dead. Jesus encouraged Jairus by turning to him and saying, "Be not afraid ; only beâ€" lieve." Coming to the house Jesus brought their scorn upon Him by telling them the damsel was not dead, but asleep. He took Peter, James and John and the parents, and, entering in where the damsel was lying, took her by the hand and said, "Damsel, arise," and she arose and walked. IV. The Sermon on the Mount endâ€" xd, Jesus enters Capernaum. A cenâ€" turion‘s slave, who was greatly beâ€" loved, was at the point of death. Hearâ€" ing that Jesus had come, the cenâ€" turion sent the elders of the Jewsâ€" probably the elders of the synagogue â€"to entreat Jesus to heal his serâ€" vant. The centurion was â€" humble, felt unworthy, and had great {faith In Jesus. Jesus admired his faith and commended him above the Jews. His faith was honored and the sick guo was lnmsd:‘ialy rmtol'og‘l Jel.n: ne respector t :- respect faith, wamvc he â€" finds { [ » t 4 Nlt y OOR t n III. Jesus had come from the eastâ€" ern coast of the Sea of Galilee. Jairâ€" us, the ruler of the synagogue, whose daughter was at the point of death, came and fell at His feet. In this act Jairus (1) recognized the greatâ€" ness and superiority of Christ and (2) showed that he came in . deep humility. His request was urgent. He besought Him greatly to come and lay His hands on her. Much peoâ€" ple thronged Hi»m‘an(_l on ‘!.'he way a 1 V. Johin had been in prison Maâ€" cherus for six months. 'l‘hroug.h’ his disciples he had heard of the moveâ€" men‘ts of Jesus, and he knew that Jesus had not yet publicly declared his Messiahship. John was restles ; matters were moving too slowly to sgult him ; he perhaps wondered why Jesus did not obtain his freedom ; he did not understand some of the moveâ€" ments of Jesus, and he was laboring under a strong temptation that, alâ€" though Jesus was one sent from God, yet perhaps the Messiah was yet to follow. If John had doubts he took the proper course to get rid of them, He had confidence in Jesus and sent and asked him, and Jesus was not long in convincing him that he was the Christ of God. VIII. Jesuse speaks His first parâ€" able. In a boat near the shore of the sea o{f Galilee, with the multitude on the shore, He speaks several parables to them, of which "The sower" is the first. In order to have a good harâ€" vest there must be (1) a sower, (2) good seed, (3) good soll, (4) good care. Christ, His disciples, all Christâ€" ian workers, were the sowers. . The Word of Godâ€"gospel truthâ€" is the seed. There are three kinds of un fruitful #soil. IX. Jesus continues to speak in parables. 1. The tares, A sowerâ€"tha Bon of man; went into His field â€" the world ; to sow good seed â€" the truths of . the gospel, which operate in the heart and produce true childâ€" ren of the kingdom ; his enemyâ€" the devil ; came while men sleptâ€" while Christians â€" were asleep spiritually ; and sowed taresâ€"the children of the wicked one. The final separation could not be made untlil the harvest, at the end of the world, and then the tares would be burned and the wheat gathered into the garner. _ X. Jesus decides to send His twelve apostles out to preach the gospel. 1. What led to this decision ? His pity for the multitudes, who were like wanâ€" dering sheep without a shepherd. 2. Where did He send them? Not to the Gentiles, or to the cities of Saimaria, but to the lost of Israel. 3. How did He send them? Two by two, in dilâ€" ferent directions. By sending two toâ€" gether they would encourage and help each other. 4. How were they qualiâ€" fied for their work ? They were given power and authority over unciean spirits, and power to heal all manner of diseases. It is not likely that they raised the dead. 5. What was their work? First, preaching the gospel. Their text: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." ‘They preached repentâ€" ance as the entrance to the kingdom. S»cond, they performed works ‘of mercy. All manner of diseases were healed. 6. What was their manner of work ? It was a house to house visiâ€" tation. 7. What were their wages? They had received freely from the Lord and they were to give freely,. XI. Herod‘s conscience made him unâ€" sasy. Whon he heard about the mighty works of Jesus ho thought that John had come forth from the dead. 1. John had been a faithful preacher and had denounced the awful sins of the king and his unlawful wife. 2. Herodias was very angry, and desired to kill John. 3. Herod knew that John was a good man. He would not kill him, but to please his wife he put him _ln prl?on. 4. A great feast ; a dancing damsel ; a drunken oath; a wicked mother; a wicked request; a king so weak and wicked that he yielded to the satanic influences around himâ€"and all is lost. He was very sorry, but he kept his oath and yielded ‘to public opinion. 5. A martyr to the truth. " The marâ€" tyrdom of John is his strongest sorâ€" mon, heard and felt everywhere." John made a success of lifeâ€"Herod a failure. John, though young, had finished his work. " That life is long which answers life‘s great end." XII 1. Jesus and the disciples seek solitude and rest. 2. The multitudes follow them on foot around the north end of the sea. 3. A busy day. 4. The evening (3 o‘clock) draws near. _ ‘The hungry multitude must be fed. 5. Jesus discusses the situation with His disâ€" ciples. They have only thirtyâ€"two dolâ€" lars and five loaves and two small fishes, 6. Jesus takes the five loaves and two fishes and feeds probably ten thousand people. ~7. The pieces woere gathered up and eachk apostle filled his wallet, or basket. 8. This miracle convinced tho people that Jesus was the Messiah, and they tried to take Him by force and make Him a king. Children and Slippers. Although now and then at pubâ€" lic entertainments, such as a hotel hop, or dancing school exhibition, you see children amazingly garbed in silk stockings and fancy slippers, it is well known that such are not the fashion. It is not considered _ good form to allow a little girl to wear low shoes or slippers. The heelless slipâ€" pers make the foot look awkward. and heeled slippers are not to be thought of, becasse they are injuriâ€" ous to the health. Besides the wearâ€" ing of slippers seems to enlarge the g#ize of the foot, the ankleâ€"bones are unsupported and become broader. A child is apt to "turn the ankie" in a heeled slipper and so a neat kid shoe is worn for dancing, or on ocâ€" casions when a grownâ€"up person would wear an evening slipper. Fashâ€" ionable little girls wear shoes, not slippers. a One of the marine curiosities recentâ€" ly fished from the bottom of the Inâ€" dian Ocean by a dredg‘ng vessel in the employ of the Calcutta Society of Natural History was a mammoth sea crab, which continually emitted a bright, white light, similar to that seen in the spasmodic flashes of phosâ€" phorescent luminosity kindled by our common glowâ€"worms. The oddity was ‘captured in the daytime and placed in a large tank, nothing peculiar except its immense sizeo being noticeable in the broad glare of the tropical sur. At might, however, when all was pitchy darkness, the crab surprised the maturalists by lighting up the tank so that all the other sea creaâ€" tures, great and small, could be plainâ€" ly geem A Luminous Crab.

At a meeting of the Montreal Corn Exchange, the question ol inspection of Ontario wheat was considered. The Grand Trunk and Canadian Paciâ€" fic Railways jointly acknowledged the committee‘s letters in reply to theirs respecting the Toronto grain shippers, ie., that grain shipped from Ontario be stored in Montreal on arrival â€" without reâ€"inspection. The letter stated that if at all possible the railway companies desired to meet the wishes of the Toronto Board of Trade in taking grain at Montreal on the Toronto inspeciion, but that in this case it would be necessary that they be permitted to bin it with the grain inspected by the Montreal inspecto". The committee ordered a reply to be made to the effect that while it was most anxious to assist the railway companies in this matâ€" ter it failed to see how any plan could be adopted whereby the Monâ€" treal inspector could be compelied to issue certilicates on the Toronto inâ€" spection, and that it thezrefore adâ€" hered to the views expressed in its former letter, Le., that all _ grain entering the Montreal elevators must be inspected by the Montreal inâ€" spector, 4 Cheese Markets.
