our stay in the dear old city was near its
end and we were soon to leave il for good.
II we get started in the provinces, we shall
hardly return again. Remember the 49,
1000 shut up in a territory not larger
than the States Of New York aud Pennsyl-
vanis! We shal! be ready for our voyage
TO India when this area shall have been
even partially visited. The way has been
opened up to Scotland already, as | think
l mentioned in my last. The good hand
our God is 30 plainly in il that we feel no
heaitancy in making the move on the 29th
inst. Until then the time is fully occupied
by the Hastings meeting until the 18th
and after that the Stratford services for 10
days longer. Not Stratford-o Avon,
which is good way oil, but Strstford in
the east Of London, near Victoria Park and
not very far from Shacklewell Lane.
Last Tuesday afternoon we had the pleas
ure Of hearing "Bible Reading" by Mr..
Andrew Jukes, the dear man Of God men
tiored in the preface TO Goods Love Sto-
ry." He is near his three-score and ten,
but his "bow still abides in strength" and
his erect figure still tells that be has some
thing soldierly in his makeup. He was
an officer in the Indian army in his young
manhood and will warrant, gallant one.
His head is bald and beard snowy, now, but |
his tai, graceful figure and springing step
make light OF the many years that have
only conquered these outworks, leasing the
inner citadel Still strong. As a teacher, he
is as grand in the drawing room, surround.
ed by eager listeners, as in his fascinating
books. Any Of my readers who have read
his Characteristic Differences Of the -Four
Gospels" or "Lsw Of Levitical Offerings"
or TYPES Of Genesis" know what this
means. The Bible reading OF Tuesday was
on "The Cross" as set forth in let Cor. lat
chap. l know some Of the dear Bible
readers who see these lines will thank me
for few items from memory that will
throw light on that portion Of Gods word;
lst. The Jew was after "a sign" or pOper.
Was he wrong? No. But there seemed
no power in the Cross, where one expired
in weakness. ID. The Greek wanted "wis-

Both were stirred upon the great question

Knew more" sighed the Greek, "then de-
iverance would come" 3d. That which
both longed for, but looked for in vain,
forgetting the only place in
which IL could be found, was in the Cross
