THE GREAT FIRE AT YOKOHAMA.

The London and China Telegraph has
the following in reference to the great
hire at Yokohama on the 25th November:
-"The fire commenced in o cook-shop
leading from BeutchdOri to Yoshiwarra.
The latter is on the peninsula, and con-
tanned a great number of habitatiOns of
Japanese women. The fire spread rapid
ly and there being only one bridge lead
ing from it, great destruction of life took
place, as all but two isolated bridges were
destroyed. The japanese report The find
ing OF thlrty-ive bodies, but further ex-
animation Of the burned district adds
largely to the number. The greatest
confusion prevailed during the fire. Eve
ry effort was made to arrest the progress
of the flames by the use of water and
blowing up buildings; but all was in
vain, until nearly one-third of the stores
and dwellings of business firms were des-
troyed. Early in the day large detach-
ments Of sailors and marines were landed
from the British fleet lying in the harbour,
who at first worked we'll under control of
their officers, but after getting access to
liquor, they became unmanageable. From
striving to save property, they turned
their attention TO plundering, and robbie
rieS of the bOldest nature were perpetra-
ted while the owners of the property were
standing helpless 10 prevent them. Among
the losses by fire and destruction were
the archives Of the United States consul
late. A large portion Of the archives of
other ~consulates were also destroyed.
The French consul lost his office and all
his private property. The English con-
sal also suffered. The bonded warehouse,
filled with goods, under the superintend-
ence Of Mr.. Scare, was destroyed, the loss
being estimated at 100000. A new
house, built for the American consulate,
was also consumed, A whole range Of
old consulate buildings, French, Ameri-
can, Prussian, and English-the Post
office, with nearly all the private residen-
ces, were destroyed by the confagration.
The fre-proof buildings of Textor and
Co. and The French hospital are among
the buildings saved. The fire put an end
TO all business for q time. Some articles
had advanced in consequence of the large
quantities destroyed, such as shirtings,
yarns, &c. The latter are held at $50 to
S22. Oftea, about 1900 piculs are burned.
The agents Of the fire insurance compa-
MES held o meeting, when it was ascer-
tanned that the aggregate losses mount
ed to {, 1850, 600. The Japan Herald
estimates the total loss of the natives and
foreigners at between three and four
millions of dollars. Owing to the unsuc-
cessfuI harvest Of rice, the lower class of
the people are suffering for want of food.
Government has removed the monopoly
of sale by allowing foreign merchants to
sell direct to consumers. It is believed
that this permission to sell food and i'm

Christ must be made a Savior be..
tore he is actually Saviour to any
one. He has made it possible for
Himself to be made a Saviour. and
man must take hold of Him must
II i may so speak, use him as Sa-

this or that-unto his having done
this or that thing is not MAKING Christ

is not going to save us unless we
make use of that sacrifice upon the
cross to which His divinity gave an
efficacy unto reconciling The Father
unto all mankind. Likewise with
regard to all other essential truths
which are essential only because
without the use Of them man cannot
be saved. Non>essential truth serves
its purpsse and then is, as it were, laid
by but essential truth is continually
serving its highest purpose-we use
