LONDON Is the wealthiest and the most
poverty -stricken city in the world. It's
inhabi ants have become conscious of the
fact, and some of the best thinking of the
time is being applied to measures for re-
lief of the distress in the East End. The
career of Jack the Ripper has served
for an eye-opener to social reformers,
while recent mass meetings of the Sub
merged tenth in Trafalgar Square have
helped to state the case in still larger
letters. 1t is no wonder, then, that the
Prince of Wales should join with mobiles.

The troubles in Central America
threaten to break out afresh, just as it was
generally supposed they were over, at
least for a season. President EzeJa, of
San Salvador, concluded a peace on his
own terms with Guatemala and further
bloodshed between their respective armies
having been thereby averted the people of
Honduras considered it was about time
for them to make a record as fighters. The
row has taken Il form of revolution. The
capital is a stage of siege. British fighting
has occurred in the streets Of Tegucigalpa--

on the presidency, but a gentleman by the
the name of Sanchez appears to be in the
lead. The present president, Mr.. Louis
Borgan, is hemmed in by the insurgents,
and will be lucky if he escapes with his life.
Fears are expressed in some quarters that
Guatemala may take hand in the Htndu-
ras imbrogllo, which is considered would

the sash rod with rubber tips and spring

telescoping over the other against coied

hang at you windows, and instead of
all the touble and nuisance of mailing up

the width of the easement, and by pressing
it slightly you reduce it to the right length
and adjust it within the uprights The
spring and the rubber tips hold it in place.

THE development of the system of post

last fourteen years has been remarkable
According to an article in native journal
they were established by the government
in 1875, with the object of encouraging
thrift and to collect the small sums scat
tered abous in private keeping. At first
they attracted so little attention that at
the end of 1875 there were only 1000 de-
positors with 1920 lodged. Hence
forth, however, the figures increased at a
remarkable rate, the deposits of 1889
amounting to SIC, 451 900. In Toxic the
number of depositors is $4,000 and the
amount of their deposits SIC, 100000.

we say we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us +"
We regret that We have not space 10
give O full synopsis of his learned
ana lengthy discourse, which was lis.
tened to with close attention during
the hour Of its delivery. It was a
timely expos ition of the doctrine that
no man lives who sipneth not, and a
clear and powerful refutation of the
doctrine of sinless perfection as
taught by many Of the modern saints
who lay special claims to greater at
talnments in the divine life than their
brothers in Christ. The fallacy Of
the finely spun theory Of . second
blessing in the work of sanctification
was clearly shown by the analysis of
many passages of scripture and the
citntion OF many biblical characters,
which we have time and again heard
quoted by the disciples of the second
blessing school, as sustaining their
forced and extreme view. We believe
the time has come for all faithful
ministers of the gospel, of every de-
nomination, no longer to hold their
peace in exposing the errors inculcat.
ed ny these second blessing theorists,
else deception and false docrine will
surely lead many away from the plain
ana elementary truths of the bible.
we fear that the great body of the
Methodist ministers has long been
too reticent in clearly defining the
great doctrine of holiness or sanctifi.
cation as taught by this branch OF
the Christian church, and allowed
certain extremists and self. constitut.
ed eyangelists to bring their doctrine
INTO disrepute by their erroneous de.
claratlons and professions, which have
been received by many as Gospel
