Call and see Them. uE43 RosEs In MrEx1ICO.â€"We were much pleased this week to have a letter from Miss H. Anderson, formerly of the Pubâ€" lic School staff here, but, now of Parrot, Mexico. _ Mer old pupils and friends here will be glad to know she enjoys the climate and has better health than simee her father died. â€" Here is an exâ€" tract : **We spent the Easter vacation among the mountains at the end of the Ralroad over which Mr. Routledge, my brot herâ€"inâ€"law, is Supt. It is considered one of most picturesque trips in Mexico ; the cuts through the mountains are something wonderful. _ The roses and all the flowers are in bloom now, of course there were some out when 1 came in January, and ever since then we haye been getting strawberries, letâ€" tuce, radishes. and onions and for over a month green beans and peas." _ Anâ€" other brief sentence says : * We thorâ€" cugbly enjoy the ReEvisw for Durham seems home to us all, â€" Sorty to notice so many have died since we left." The O. 8. Times has the following paragraph under the above heading. The "lady relative" was a Mrs Blon. din, to whom a small sum was owing. and she brought a letter from the late Mr McPherson in which was a reference to this sum but not naming it. This letter, brought to establish her alleged claim, proved the means of baffling it. for it was plainly proved that the signaâ€" ture to the document claiming $2700, was a forgery from the letter. Followâ€" ing is the paragraph. and we congratuâ€" late Mrs McPherson on the outcome of the daring attempt to defraud her : "His Honor Judge Morrison has been presidâ€" ing at the local masters court this week, the case under consideration being the estate of the late Alexander McPherson of Artemesia. Among the documents was a signed paper purporting to show that a lady relative in Chicago was owed from the estate $2700 borrowed money. Expert testimony was called to show that this signature was a forgery, the gentlemen giving evidence to this effect being Messrs C. A. Fleming, Jas. Sha w. Ewing Buchan and A. F. Armstrong. Mr Fleming declared that it was one of the most glarimg cases of forgery that had eyer come under his notice. The woman claimant, who was at the court yesterday, could not be found this morning. J. W. Frost appeared for the claimant, W. H. W right for the execu tors and H. E. Sampson for the benefiâ€" | caries." â€"The Montreal Witnes says that the Lieutenantâ€"Governorship of Ontario was declined by Sir Richard Cartâ€" wright and Hon. Mr Scott. Referring to the new man it commends the govâ€" ernment for selecting one, hitherto so unknown in pclitics, whose judgmert on delicate questions, such as may reâ€" sult from the Gamey trial, will be given impartially _ It closes ‘‘In Mr Clark, the government has chosen a Liberal, but free from party entanglements ; a gentleman, a traveller, a ripe scholar, a noted lawyer, pbysically active and a Christian. When such a man comes to deal with a situation the right thing is likely to be done ‘‘ THE DURHAM REVIEW A CASE OF FORGERY 2t Pn Sunday morning members of the I. Oâ€" of Oddfellows here with a few from Mt. Forest. to the number of about 50 parâ€" aded from their hall to the Presbyterian Church, the band preceding and playing sacred music. . Rev. Mr. Farquharson preached a powerful and lucid sermon on Friendship, caking his text fromm Proy, 18: 24. Mr. Farquharson selected as his text Prov. 18 : 24. which in the reyvised verâ€" sion reads "He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction but there is a frierd that sticketh closer than a brother." In dealing with the subject hbe remarked that throughout the book of Proverbs friendship again and again recurred as a mattet for direcâ€" tion and warning. _ There, as in everyâ€" day life we meet friends of eyery class, There is the confidence mian who says * Let us all have one purse," the merâ€" cantile friend who holds out as long as the money lasts. the man whose friendâ€" ship culminates in your going secarity for him,. and the oue whose * kisses are deceitful." _ Yet amongst these there are the friends that adversity binds to us only the more closely, the friend that sticketh closer than a brother. The text in its two clauses prevents the two kinds of friendship, _ There is the man who maketh many friends, the man of compamonship, the man who is swayed by everybody‘s adyice, who canâ€" not say no who is at every hand led astray, and we have the message conâ€" cerning him. _** A man of friends shall destroy himself," but in contrast we have the true friend who is with us in sunshine and shadow, who never fails, the friend that sticketh closer than a brother, The speaker then proceeded to deal with friendship. In this connecâ€" tion he showed that we all need friends. Circumstances over which we have no control may place any of us in a moâ€" ment, in a position that we are as deâ€" pendent on a helpmg hand as was the wan in the parable who on his way to Jeticho was stripped of all his possesâ€" sions and left by the wayside half dead Even did no such calamity oyertake us we need friends to share our joys and sorrows. _ The woman in her delight at finding the lost piece of money must call her friends and neighbors to rejoice with her,. _ The sisters of Bethany have their neighbors who came to see theim to weep with them in their sadness, When we are in perplexity we need a friend to whom we can tell out all our trouble, _ _More than all the mission of the friend is vo inspire us with higher ideals. "*As iron sharpeneth iron so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend " _A mere companion may not be a friend and often our best friends are not those who speak the smoothest things. The speaker then proceeded to consiâ€" der what kind of friendship would faltil this high end. _ In that connection he showed that true friendship must rest on unselfishness, _ Selfsecking destroys friendship. "Gratitude" is not merely a * lively sense of coming favors" Our noblest efforts are not seliisuness refined or untefined. _ Man is capable of unselâ€" | fish deeds and only such give a lmml' that unite, â€" But besides unselfishness it must be cemented by the bond of truth | and right. ‘The bundle of stieks is | stiong if bound together, but the only | bond that can unite bodies of men is truth and right. Every combination of I men in church or state that neglects | this rundamencal principle is doomed to | tailure, _ With a friendship held by ties | free from selfishness, knit by the bond | of truth and united as brethren, as | children of God and bearing the divine ; character there was the assurance of a | love that nought could sever, _ The | seytbe, the symbot of our mortality, | may cut short our days, but it neyer | can break the bond of love. _ The sandâ€" | glass, syimbolt of our fleeting stiate may | remind us that for us "The Sands of ; Time are sinking " but the sinking sands j tell of noloss to the true frend, _ The| coflin itself is no sealing of doom, but | rather the pledge of a hope hoy(md.! Why was Joseph put in a coftin in | Egypt but that his dust might be carâ€" ‘ ried to the Jand of promise? Why do we lay the dust of our friends in the | coffin, but that we look to a day when | the dead shall rise incorruptible and full ‘ of glory ? | The spearker went on to question where such friendship is to ke found or by what mark identitied, Some look to race or rank, but no descent assured an honorable character, There are sons of nobles who are not noble, and kings who are not kingly, _ Would we look among the associations hoary with age which have gathered those desiring to be friends and who seek to protect themâ€" selves by passwords and signs ? Worthy of all honor were many such organizaâ€" tions, but no association could so separâ€" ute true friends as that all the true shall be on one side and all the false on the other. â€" Would we look to the church of the living God and ask if there we might be assured that we have all the true and none other? _ Also honorable as is the chuich, worthy as are her office beavrers there is no church on earth that has not the tares as well as the wheat. _ How then am I to discover and keep hold of true friends? The one indispensible condition is that I be true myself, _A true man is worthy of true triends, his eye is clear that he may discern them and his heart is sound to hold them, Would you know the passward to adâ€" mittance to this order of true friendship? It is the old message of friendship, love, and truth, To find friends you must act the friends part not seeking to be ministered unto but to minister, You must in short know the frend that sticketh closer than a brother, _ Liying His life you will know true love and find true friendship. Yet be not deâ€" ceived as to the rewards : the friend of all friends got as His earthly reward, the cross : you too must bear the cross, At the most the reward held out is not that of gold and silver, Like the Patriâ€" arch of old you have but your tent symâ€" bol of a fleeting habitation. _ Your walâ€" let will supply your simple wants, the staff will be the a:lymhol of your jourâ€" neys of merey and the sandals will proâ€" tect your feet in the burning sand, but your habitation is not here, you seek one to come. _ Yours is the city that hath foundations, whose builder and auuker is God.
