our Savior and mine, "he saved others. he saved others." Yes. he is our atona. ment. He is the way to God. It needs not that some one should die that God be angry no more. God is love. Jesus does not merely suffer in our place-he could. n't help suffering for us. He paid no debt to satan; the devil has no claim up on us. He struck no bargain with God for us. No, no; but God was in Jesus Christ reconciliDg the world unto Him. self. When Jesus suffered he made plain that the Father suffers; when Jesus died God was in him; the love of Jesus is the love of God. Sin killed him; love saves us-Jesus, God. Mary Magdalene, do you want some heart into which to spour out all your tale of sin; is there no one to forgive? Peter, will no one take you back, can no onesforgive that awful de- nial? Sinner, you whose garments are dyed red with wrongs to others; sinners, you who have not one claim to salvation for you transgress Goo's law;
 SINNER, DO YOU WANT FRIEND who for gives and loves and "saves oth- ers?" Then will you let me lead you to Jesus, who is the way to God? There is Calvary-there is "God's eternal heart ache manifest in time.'' Bow at that cross, he will forgive you, he will save you.
 "I have Savior, He's pleading in glory, dear loving Savior, ,tho' arth friends be few And now he is watching in tenderness OCT

 And oh that my savlor were your Savior too l have Father; to me he has given A hope for eternity blessed and true; And soon will he call me to meet him in

 But oh that he'd let me bring you with me,

 When Jesus has found you, tell others the

 That my loving saviour is your Savior, tool Then pray that your Savior may bring them

who are really willing

TO FOLLOW JESUS TO THE END
 there is no other way. It is a blesse d thing to share in the fellowship of the sufferings of Jesus, only thus can we partake of his joy. There is no true love but suffers when the loved one is harmed. If we really have the mind of l Christ we cannot but share in his sorrow for sin. Do we love men, then every l thing that harms them pains us; and that 1 leads to the cross.
 The follower of Jesus must meet Phar- isee and Pilate. Those indifferent to righteousness, private or kublic, those who make profession of high living, ] sheltered in the forms thereof but hating the reality, those who are bound up with evil in themselves or others will always scorn and hate. Sorrow for the erring one! Give your lives for them! May repeat, "He that would save his life must lose it for my sake." Read again the l1th chapter of Hebrews. Those be- roes illustrate our theme. Bring to mind those Christians who are true to their Christ. Do they not bear a cross? Let us leave thls shallow pretense of 1 formal following words, these forms. Let us go way to the heart of Christ and abide there; and strength, ened in Him take all sinners into ouI hearts.
 Yet we do not forget he has prepared way. There is no more wooden cross for us-he is drawing the world to Him. Drawing them because we have our own little cross. No soul comes to Him with out great travail somewhere. We must yearn and suffer and pray or we cannot save others. But now we have his help ''In this world ye shall have tribulations, but fear not, little flock, have overcome the world" He was not lost, he was saved, not of himself but by God. He went not down to flesh and earth; he as- cended to eternal life and glory. So we In being saved, are not lost, but he draws us upward. Yet there is only one way, we go by way of the cross! die to sir, ,are crucified for others. No man can save himself. He who tries fs lost. Jesus reaches down to gather in his own but he draws us from our cross and we may still hear those true though taunting words: "They saved others; themselves they cannot save."
 Ah, sinful people, do you see him there, do you hear him there? Are you in that multitude of onlookers? Such friend is not your father or your mother; and yet you treat no other friend so ill. He could not save himself and yet-do you remem- Der the other words? "He saved others"

history that has been made for many 8 day. In England 1t has also had sale commensurate with It's importance. An other fact of especial interest about this book is shat although it was published on November 29, it has already appeared in five different languages. France did not express much approha'ion over the autobiography of Prince Bismarck. It contained too many references to Sedan, to Gravelotte, and to the siege of Paris for her tender sensibilities. Russian sen- abilities have proved still more tender, and the Imperial Press Censor has re- fused Russian booksellers permission to place the work on sale. There are many subjects which Bismarck treats with 8 piain-spokeness that is most psinful to the delicately organized ear of the Rus. sian for instance, Bismarck speaks of the murder of the Czar Paul; the Russians speak of it always as 8 sssudden demiss.' g On the 24th of last month the work ap- peared in an Italian translation, and it is said, Is having very fair sale in Rome, Florence, and Naples.
 It is indeed unfortunate that the Iron Chancellor did not live to enI1y the suc- cess of his book. It is sure sign that throughout his misfortunes, throughout the bitter years of his old age, hls people still believed in him. It is to Bismarck's credit that his autobiography is neither pettish nor pessimistic, and it is safe t., say that the best monument to his mem ory will be half million copies of his book in as many German homes, and as many more copies scattered throughout the world. A man who has such mon- ument need care but little what marble mausoleums are raised above his ashes, or in what sarcophsgus he sleeps. Our illustration shows the ssrcophe gus of Prince Bismarck, which lately arrived at Friedrichsruh, and which has been placed in the newly built mausoleum. It is made of pink marble from the de- signs of Herr Schurbach, of Hanover, and is in the strictly Roman style. Is dimensions are 10 feet long, broad, and 51 1-2 inches high.

A Sermon by Rev Chester Fer
 ris of West Cornwall.

Text, Matt. P; 42. "He saved others; him. self he cannot save.
 These tauDting words were cast in the crucIble of passion. To us who see Jesus in his walk among men-allaying the bangs of fever, restoring sight to him born blind, quieting the palsied frame, cleansing of foul leprosy, leading wanderers to their Shepherd, God-it seems impossible that hearts should be so hard as to scorn him with his very kindness and sympathy. An, how did he now need some friend to cool his brow, the comforting word of mother in his dying ear, one to stand with sym pathy at his last hard hourl But no He hears TO gentle word; his enemies hiss: "He saved others, himself he can- not save" "Let him come down from the cross, if he be the Son of God"
 The strangest thing Is, those words'are true. l think 1t is that very helpful ex positor, Dr Stalker, who observes that on several occasions at this tragic hour, blackguards and criminals in their very ubkGAO0 0h CbGIuhl truths, as If inspired of God. After Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, the treacherous Pharisees, instead of being attracted to the great Physician, were confirmed in their hate andEhastening to the miserable Caiaphas, high priest, ex- claimed, "If we thus let him alone, all the world will believe on him." The worthy chief of red-handed murderers re- piled, "Ye know not anything at all i; nor do ye take account that one man should die for the people, and that the who'll. nation perish not" What truth from such mouth; but it was the word of God. Yes, "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son Of Man be lifted up that whoso- ever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life"-''and I, If I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself"
 And again, Pilate, fearing the mob, yet filled with great respect for Jesus, desir ing to rescue him, but not daring to en- danger his office, brought him forth, and as the rabble howled, said, ''Behold the mani" Meaningless words to him, per haps, but to us looking back to that sub lime scene where the Son of Man in his perfect character, matchless heroism, towers above earth's other great giants as the sunlit beat over the little hills, we re-scho those divine words" Beholdathe mani''
 Then, perhaps to heap contempt on the Jews whom he hated, this inscription in the three lSr guages of the world was raised above the crucified Savior: "Jeaus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." Inl Greek, the realm of intellect; in Roman

When Henry Maxwell began to speak
TO the souls crowded into the settlement
hall that night, it is doubtful if he had
ever before faced such an audience in
his life It is quite certain that the
city Of Raymond did not contain such
variety Of humanity. Not even the
Rectangle at its worst could furnish SO
many men and women who had fallen
entirely out Of the reach of the church
and all religious and even Christian in
duences.
What did he talk about7 He had al
ready decided that point. He. told in
the simplest language he could COM
mand some Of the results Of obedience
to the pledge as it had been taken in
Raymond. Every man and woman in
that audience knew something about
Jesus Christ. They all had some idea Of
his character, and. however much they
had grown bitter toward the forms Of
Christian ecclesiasticism OF the social
system, they pfeserved some standard
Of right and truth, and what little some
Of them still retained was taken from
the person Of the peasant Of Galilee.
So they were interested in what Max
well said. What would Jesus dot" He

that. 1t was genuinely interested. As
