A SCRIPTURES EXPOSITION.

Br. Murray: Dear Sir Having often
heard Fathers in Israel express their opin-
ion upon the 44th verse Of the 21st chapter
Of the Gospel By ST. Matthew, and ministers
taking il for the foundationo of their discours-
es in some instances, applyingsit in man
fer not perfectly satisfactory to myself-
not gaining sufficient evidence that they
were giving the correct exposition Of the pas
sage, and wishing 10 oetain more light upon
the subject; presented il before our Min.
isterial Conference, requesting an exegesis
upon il, and it was referred TO me as par
for the next Conference.

DEAR SIR,-Durlng my late visit to
England in behalf of the Bible cause |
became deeply affected respecting The
condition of Mr. Oncken, the devoted la
borer in the cause Of our Divine Master
in Germany. He is, as you know, suf,
fering persecution even unto bonds, for
truths sake. / found also that the -Bap-
tiss and others in England, were deeply
interested in his circumstances. A peli,
non In his behalf had been circulated in
the West Riding Association of Bap:is,s
in Yorkshire. TO which about five thou
sand names were affixed, and another from
the Bap'ist Union, which repraSents five
or six hundred churches, had been dra wn

greatest good: 1t is TO be answered that that
does not succeed, but precedes the falling
upon Christ, in The sense we should be re-
quested 10 take the passage.
3. TIE whole context shows, and SO the
Jews understood it, that another and entire
ly different view should be taken Of the pas
sage.
II. The writer is Of the opinion that the
same sentiment is advanced, which is ex-
pressed in Isaiah ST: II. Speaking Of the
church he says, mo weapon formed against
thee shall prosper"
1t is as much, in my opinion, as if he he'd
said, 1t is folly in the extreme for you to re-
jeet me, and oppose The principles of my
kingdom, for although you may be suffered

One object of the Conference in causing
This to be published is, that should any of
the readers of the Telegraph see what they
consider just ground to dissent from the
view we have expressed, and are disposed,
they may throw out some thoughts up
on the subject, which will be very gladly
received, and duly considered by US.

partition wall bet1een u.s." His falher-in-
law was thus reconciled to him, and treated
him as his own son ever afterwards.
Mr.. Farmer appears through life to have
been person Of truly estimable charac-
ter, enjoying the affection and esteem Of all
who knew him; as one indeed in every
respect, whose God was the Lord. During
the time Of my personal acquaintance with
him, which did not exceed IL or IA years,
my veneration Of his social and christian
worth, Increased with my increasing knowl-
edge Of him. And in every interview |
enjoyed with him, left him with the i'm
preston sill more deepened, that he was
8 an lsraelile indeed in whom was no guile"
He entertained a lively sense of the good
ness of God. This was a theme upon
which he ever seemed 10 dwell with pecul-
lar delight, and expressed much thankful
ness cor all, for the least of the divine favors
to him. While yet in, health, he spake of
| bis dissolution as an event which he SUBJ
mitted unreservedly into the hands of his
most merciful Creator, and said, "when He
sends the summons | atn ready TO obey :
and i il should be to-nighi,n said he, "when
compose my thoughts 10 sleep, Amen, so
let il be-"
In his last illness, as he viewed his end
approaching, hewas engaged much in PRAYER,
ard requested his friends who visited him,
TO pray with him. with whom lie appeared
most ferven,ly to join.
In sentiment, Mr.. Farmer was settled on
the doctrine Of salvation by free grace
The idea Of merit by "works of righteous
ness which he had done" he seemed almost
instincliyely TO reject, as at variance with
his christian experience, and the spirit and
letter Of the New Testament. Christ and
his righteousness appeared 10 be all his sal
walton and all his desire
MIR. Farmer retained the exercise of his
physical and mental powers much beyond
what is ordinarily witnessed at his advanc-
ed age, aud was not unfrequently seen
walking 10 meeting on the Sabbath, dis
lance Of three miles, after he was turned OF
eighty five. He enjoyed much satisfaction
in the company Of his friends, and have
seldom called 10 spend an hour with him,
without regretting that had not, or could
( not, have called more frequently. And
here would make this single remark, ,ha,
the privilege, if not the duly, of visiting
the sick and the infirm, should exert much
greater influence on our minds, than usually
il would seem that it does.
Few men have lived longer, and fewe
( still have lived and acted more uniforml,
up 10 their christian profession than MI
Farmer. Having served his generation
faithfully, he closed his eyes in peace, a
his residence in Rutland, Nov. 10, 1916
/, aged 90 years, and has left behind him tn
good name which is better than preciou
ointment" G.

greatceIebrity which this remedy has acquired during
period Of twenty years, its increasing demand and It's
unparalleled success has induced number of persons
rom time to Time, both at home and abroad, toimaie
fiji various ways
As long these limitations were confined to mixtures
bearEg other names, did not consider il necessary to
advert them, but having evidence in possession Of
the gross receptions practsed by unprincped men, in
vending spurious syrup for the "g.nuine Swams Pan

purchasing medicines from any but the most respect
able
1t is difficult to detect in many instances the actual
perpetrators of these npostons, as the spurious mix
lures the more generally sent into the INTERIOR and to
foreign countries.
Some time back, we detected fraudulent mi alton in
NewYork, closely resembling our ewA, but the bottles
were labelled William Swain, instead OF WILLIAM
SWAIN.
More recently we have found bottles cast n mould
precisely like our own, but 'Swaims Panacea" New
York is blown in the glass, instead of "Swaiss Pana-
cea," Philadelphia
We have received repeated advices from he West In
da islands that empty bottles are purchased up at
high rates, for the purpose of refng them with spu
GUS mixtre and of the thousands of bottles Of Swam's
Panaeea annually sold in our principal cities, we can
collect but very few of the empty bottles as they are
made of in various ways 10 defraud the proprietor
and TO deceive the public
We have known instances of three bottles being MADE
out of one, by mixing portion OF Sasaparhia syrup
with the genuine Swaim's Panacea, thereby retaining
some of lis virtues
In Philadelphia lately, large order was received be
