the couple lived together. bat they ulti.
naately parted, the wife taking her child
and going to live with her parents.
Shortly after the separation Smith
threatened the life of his wife. and vas
promptly placed under bonds to keen
the peace. After the necessary bonds
were arranged Smith openly declared
he would have the lives Of the whole
Vanderwalker family as soon as the
year for which he was placed under
bonds should expire.
About month ago Smith stole the
child from its mother, taking it to some
of his friends. This led to several quar-
rels between him and his wife's people,
and on Saturday last Smith went to Pa
louise City with the avoved intention
OF killing Gus Vanderwalker. He re-
NAMED in town all day, drinking and
repeating his threats. In the evening
tanderwalker, who had been working
near by. came into town and was warn
ed by his friends Of Smiths threats. He
armed himself with a pistol and await
ed Developments.
About 3 o'clock Vanderwalker was
standing in front Of the postoffice, con-
versing with several gentlemen. when
Smith approached and said, Wander
walker, You - will kill you be-
fore morning." He then stepped few

walkers shoulder. Just missing his neck.
As quick as Hash vanderwaiker
snatched pistol from his breast pocket

striking him just above the heart.

attempt to cock his revolver and fra
again, when Vanderwalker rushed ut
him and struck him ssvera, times on
the head with his pistol before he fell
and expired.

Christian Intolerance.

The (Anglican) Bishop of Calcutta was
invited to attend the recent Decennial
Missionary Conference and preside at the
missionary meeting to be held under its
auspices. Instead of attending he sent
a letter written on the morning of the
first session, in which he said
1t has been with no small amount of
effort that | have come to the decision
that cannot Join you. There are times
when we are greatly tempted to sacrifice
our principle to our feelings, and certain
ly this has been one of those occasions to
me. My natural impulses might have
led me to embrace this opportunity of
showing my deep interest in all that con-
Germs missionary work in this country,
and my sincere appreciation of the labor
of many devoted servants Of God who are
working as missionaries associated with
Christian bodies not in connection with
the Church of England but I have been
unable to avoid the conclusion that i'm
portant principles are involved, which
my conscience will not allow me to com
promise. | must not intrude upon you
an exposition OF those principles; but
trust that your Conference will believe
that 1 am influenced only by what APP
pears to me to be my duty in very deli
cate matter. May the S pirit of God be
with you and with all of US and guide US
to knowledge of his will for the con-
version of the people of this land
am, ETC., EDWARD R, CALCUTTA.
The reading of this letter produced a
great surprise, and has given rise to ques-
tions which the Bishop would find a
difficulty in answering: What kind of
feelings are those which he has no hesita-
ton in avowing but which his conscience
will not allow him to crafty? Surely,
the highest, the noblest, and most worthy,
because the most Christ-like. At any
rate, they are feelings favorable to
great conference of all Protestant de-
nominations, including those of the Church
of England having for its object the sal
walton of those for whom Christ died.
What can those principles be which de-
mand the sacrifice of such pure, noble,
distinterested feelings Would the Bish-
OPP have had such scruples had he not
been functionary of the State Church {?

verted, and hence cannot be exaggerated
That in the gospel idea of the Church all
standards of worldly excellence, such as
intelligence, social position, influence,
etc., are below par, and ought not to be
considered any compensation for failure
to reach and control the largest possible
number of souls. They intimate that the
allusion to quality verSuS quantity too
often squints towards quality in the or
binary worldly sense Of prominence,
wealth, influence which they pronounce
an unworthy and unspiritual ambition.
Such are the main positions pro and
con; the recent discussion shows that 1t
is living issue and one which should be
decided candidly and fairly, fully and
finally this end cannot be reached with
out the careful consideration of the whole
matter in all of its phases and results by
the ministry and eldership of our Church.
Let it be SO considered that both sides
shall acquiesce heartily in the decision,
neither side complaining of prescription,
gag-law, snap-judgment, or any thing like
thereunto.

Waiting for the Holv spirit.

The New Testament teaches that the
gift Of the Holy Spirit promised by our
Lord and bestowed at Pentecost, was not
to be confined to any class or age, but to
characterize all believers under the Chris
tian dispensation. The gracious, wonder
ful gift is for us in this day. How did
those waiting disciples in Jerusalem re-
ceive the blessing? The narrative is ex-
tremely simple. So far as we can learn
there were no elaborate exercises, no con-
ventions for instructiDg them in the phil
osophy Of the promise, or the prepare
tons required. God had promised the
gift, and they expected him to keep his
word and for that they waited and
prayed, and in response to their faith the
Holy Ghost was given at Pentecost. 1t

by the hearing Of faith" Galatians iii: 81

The Better Wav.

The more quietly and peacefully we
get on the better-the better for neigh
bors. In nine cases out Of ten the wisest
policy is, if man cheats, stop trading
with him if he is abusive, stop his com
pany; if he SANDERS you, take care to
live so that no one will believe him; no
matter who he is, OF how he misuses you,
the wisest way is to let him alone for
there is nothing better than a cool, calm,
quiet way Of dealing with wrong we meet
with.

Comforted.*

BY MARGARET j. PRESTON.
There are who tell me should be
SO firm of faith, so void of fear,
SO buoyed by calm, courageous cheer
assured through Christ's security
There is a place prepared), that
Should dare not be afraid to die.
They question of the nameless dread,
With lifted brow, as if l let
Unreasoning foretastes overfret
Ny soul unduly, while tread
a path self clouded, underneath
The ever conscious chill of death.
They talk about the fuller life,
Unswaddled of the mummied clay,
Whose cerements hide the upper day
That shines serene above the strife
OF this poor charnel crypt and cry
That they are happiest still who die.
Who holds 1t cowardice to shrink
Before the fearful truth that none
Of all times myriads-never one
Whose feet have crossed the fatal brink,
Has yet come back to breathe our breath
Again, and tell us what is death?
We know that into outmost space,
Snatched sheer of earth, the spirit goes
Alone. stark, silent-but who knows
The awful whitherward ?-the place
Which never deepest-piercing eye
Had glimpse of-into which we die?
Who kno,os' God only: On His word
wholly rest, l solely Lean
The single voice that sounds between
The eternities No soul hath heard
One whisper else, one breathing breath,
That has revealed the lohy of death.
l think of all who've passed the strife,
Pale women who have failed to face
With bravery of common grace
Their daily, apprehensive life
Who yet with straining arms stretched high
Through ecstacy, could smile and die =
Of little children who would scare
To walk within the dark alone
Unless some hand should hold their own,
Who've met the Terror unaware,
Nor dreamed amid their failing breath,
The angel whom they saw was Death
And l am comforted-
The love that bore these tremblers through
Can fold its strength about me too,
And l may find my quailing was,
AS theirs, phantom that will fly
Dawn-smitten, when l come to die.
Therefore cleave with simple trust,
Amid my hopes amid my fears
Through the procession Of my years
The years that bear me back to dust
And say, All Christ, if Thou be nigh,
Strong in Thy strength dare to diel'

Wait for Him.

He that believeth shall not make
haste" The heart that trusts the Lord
for all things will quietly wait for him in
all things. There are reasons" says
one, "why temptation cannot be hurried
through. In all temptation (and trial
of every kind) there is discipline and ed
ucational power, and a portion of this
consists in their length. If we enter
upon our trial-time with spirit of patti
ence, we are far more likely to go we'll
through it, than if we be fretful and i'm
patient, and consequently unsteady.
Trials have often strange windings and
turnings, sometimes drawing out their
rod for many a weary mile. We must
leave the time of the end to Gods ap-
pointment, and not try to hasten on,
against evident marks of his will, an end
ing of our own. God will never let us
really lose for waiting upon him"
Thy way not mine, o Lord
1t will be still the best
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to thy rest.
And SO, not in trial days alone, but in
all that concerns our pilgrimage toward
the kingdom, there is but one safe path,
and that is characterized in Holy Scrip
ture as the way of the Lord" The at
tempt to reach spiritual heights by short
cuts IS, alas as common as it is disas-
trous. AS we have received Christ Jesus
the Lord, we are so to tOalk in him; we
are to 1OoJk in love, to UuIk in the light.
to aOatk in truth and this implies that
step by step is the Lords rule of pro
gress.
Bright revelations of goodness and
grace, and of the home beyond, vouch-
safed In times of pressure and need, will
make an immense difference to the weary
traveller, but these are given in order
that he may grid up the loins Of his
mind, be sober, and hope to the end.
The same also is true for us as work
ers. We must not hurry souls on in
forced marches, nor attempt to show
an easier way Of life than we find in Holy
Scripture The knowledge Of God can
only be attained by patient learning,
and the kingdom Of God can only be
reached by patient following If any
man will come after me"-they are
Christ's own words" let him deny him
self, and take up his cross daily, and fol-
low me"
For he who blesses us as our Saviour.

blood Of his cross, is also our Leader
and while we realize and thankfully ac-
cept the fulness Of our heritage in Christ,
let US ever remember that We must run

no desire for self-chosen paths when we
