SUMMARY.-The more carefully we
examine the things of God and relig-
ion, the more interesting will be our
discoveries. All our invaluable
privileges and advantages are conveyed
to us through the gospel. They flow
in a steady stream from Christ, our
Temple, our Altar, our Door-springing
from the everlasting love and mercy of
God, through His atoning sacrifice.
John ili:16.) No distractions of men
can interrupt the communication of
spiritual blessings from the fulness of
Christ to the souls of His beloved peo-
pie; and the course of the greatest riv-
erS might far more easily be stopped
than the progress of His gospel through
the labors Of His servants. 1t has
hitherto diffused it's influence grad
ually, and it will run wider, and deeper
in its energy and effects. until it shall
fill, heal and fructify the whole earth
Such was the sublime teaching con.
veyed to Ezekiel to encourage him and
make him faithful to the captive Jews
in Babylon.

SERVICE.-(V. 1O) Carrying out the
figure last employed, the angel COM
pletes the account by representing men
on the banks of the river who come
to ply their arts as fishers. They are
to be seen along all the water-course
and along the side of the sea into which
the stream flowed, even from Engedi
to Eneglaim, two towns on opposite
banks of the Dead Sea. There they
spread their nets in safe well-watered
place. These fishers represent the min
listers of religion, Matt. iv:19) who
gather along the waters of salvation,
who have no other hope of reaching
men, who would esteem all other places
and devices vain and useless, who
bring here with great gladness their

success in the service of their Master.

BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE

Some Queer Experiences of Men and
Animals.
A writer in Lippincotts Magazine
tells us how one feels during an earth
quake. He says:
Nature has peculiarly surly air
just before an earthquake, like that
of a spider lurking in his web in a dark
cellar, and seems to be meditating more
mischief in the same direction. This
appearance is heightened by the sultri-
ness of the atmosphere, which hangs
over the earth like a pail and depresses
the spirits. An occasional trem bling Z /
the ground sends the heart up into the
throat in apprehension of another
shock, for the earthquake, unlike the
cyclone, gives no warning of its APP
proach.
The barometer does not herald it. and
the weather bureau knows nothing
whatever about it until it is all over.
This Is why earthquakes are SO feared.
They come like a thief in the night,
when least expected. Animals, how
ever, scent the danger few moments
in advance. Some mysterious sense
apprises them of the approaching shock
and birds and beasts alike are terrified.
Horses snort, throw up their heads
and glare about in alright; cattle put
their shouts to the ground and moan;
sheep huddle together and bleat birds

lady told me that half an hour be-
fore the shock in question Cor shortly

linnetS and other birds in the grove
surrounding her house break out into
general commotion. This. in the mid
die of the night, was BILE
until the subsequent shock, after which
the alarmed birds quoted down and
presumably went to sleep again. 1t is
a pity that man has not some such
premonitOry sense, but ne IS helpless.
The sensation Of an earthquake at
sea is startling. The ship is shocked
from stem to stern, and the first i'm
preston is that she has struck a rock.
On a railway train in motion the SEN

the periphery Of about half a block,
when in reality the oscillation is con-
fined to a few inches, except in severe
cases.
The effect produced on the human
system is never twice the same The
man who smiles at the shock to-day
becomes terrified on some other ocea-
sion, He never knows beforehand how
he is going to take it. Women are al
ways more alarmed than men, and
many of them have a feeling of sea-
sickness.

in Ballycastle, which is the Donny-
brook of the North referred to- was the
one regular event which came to stir
up town which for 362 days out of
every 365 was as drowsy and dead to
the rest of the world as if its people had

Ballycastle is on the North coast Of
County Antrim, partly facing the

coast of the highlands of Scotland. Is

its people visit Ballycastle during the

plies of dried Goldfish for sale, depend

purchase of clothing and other things
needful during the rest of the year. A
promoter who took great interest in
Ballycastle gave last week the follow

anything but Gaelic, and left their
wives to sell the fish, while they hustled
around for customers. The women,
