\ Doc 5 REMoRsE.-Being accustomed to
terriers, it was my custom TO wash their feet
in a tub, kept for the purpose in the garden,

to the tub, he bit me 50 severely that | was
Obliged to let him 20. No sooner was the
dog at liberty than he ran down to the
kitchen and bid himself. For three days
he refused food, declining to 20 out with any
member Of the family, and appeared very
detected, with a distressed and unusual ex-
preston of countenance. On the third
morning, however, upon returning with the
other dog, found him sitting by the
tub, and upon coming towards him be
Immediately jumped into it and sat down in
the water After pretending to wash his legs
he jumped out as happy as possible, and from
that moment recovered his usual spirits.
There appears in this instance to have been
a clear process of reasoning, accompanied
by acute feeling, going on the dog mind
from the moment he bit me until he bit up

reparation for his fault 1t evidently occur
red to him that | attached great Importance
TO this foot bath, and if he could convince
me that his cOntrition was sincere, and that
he was willing to submit to the process with

dog. in this case. reasoned with perfect ac-
curacy. and from his own premises deduced
n legitimate conclusion which the result
justified. London Spectator.

CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES OF
CHRIST

SERMON BY REV. D. Il. VAN BUSKIRK.
Arespectable congregation attended the morning
ices yesterday at the Church of the Disciples of Christ
Buskirk preached. The title Of the reverend gentle
mans discourse was 1.-THE Christhood of Jesus the
Foundation of the Church and the Creed Of Our Re-
ligion." From this text Matthew xvi, 49, the
end gentleman proceeded to deliver eloquent
mon. He commenced by remarkng that the volumes
of nature and revelation the productions OF the
author. Unity Of design was not more clearly
written the constitution of the physical universe
than the economy of redemption He treated the
Bible practically as compilation of fragments. The
one truth which gave consistency to the
whole and in the light Of which the unity
Of design was seen the Christhood of
Jesus This truth stood related the other parts of
THE PLAN SALVATION,
as the sun did to the solar system. All the other
truths of religion clustered around this greater TRUTH
and shone in its light the minor planets did around
the sun The folly of attempting to dspace the by
of the satellites of Jupiter would not be greater
than the effort TO dspace this central truth by the
feeble dogmas of human philosophy. The reverend
gentleman did propose to discuss the truth of the
Bible ITSELF but wished to anayze the relations of this
truth with the other parts of the scheme of redemp
tion. 1t stood first the foundation OF the Church.
The question: did the Saviour refer to himself when he
said "On this rock will | build my Church."
answered by both Paul and Peter The former re-
marked "Other foundations no man lay than is
laid, which is Jesus the Christ" and the latter
said of Christ, ''Ths is the stone which you
builders rejected but which is become the head
of the corner" God formally laid this foundation when
He publicly introduced Christ at His BAPTISM saying,
''Ths Is my Beloved Son. in whom am well pleased.

MEMBERS the majority OF whom it seems, have at last
returned from the country The musical part of the
services grand as usual was under the charge of Mr..

The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Father Kane,
who took for his text the Gospel of St Matthew, in
which is given the parable of the king whom the
Saviour likened unto the kingdom Of heaven, who
'made marriage for his son, and who saw among the
guests a man who had not on a wedding gar
ment, and to whom the King said Glow camest thou
in hither not having wedding garmentp" and
who was bound hand and foot and into outer dark
ness for his offence. Father Kane dlated at consdera
bic length the parable and argued quite eoquently
to show that God invited all mankind without distnc-
ton to the kingdom Of heaven. But, he said to bo
admitted every was bound to appear in wedding
garments or that is TO say with soul free from the
