CLOSE upon the heels of the radical

upon this course of action the con-

The final authority, too, of doctrine
is not vested in councils or churches,
but in its effectiveness. True Chris
tian doctrine is phenomenal, it brings
things to pass. Faith without works
Is dead in the nature of things. It is
not, as said to another great congre-
cation this morning, question of
what particular church declares au-
thoritative. 1t is rather what power
is manifested in the individuals of the
church. Never in the history of the
world has God been so active in His
manifestations as now. We are learn
ing new modes of His power, and for
myself I welcome every demonstra-
ton, no matter from what quarter it
proceeds, and / am only secondarily
interested, in the opinions which &C
company it. The ministry here has
ever been powerful in this way. Holy
men have spoken and acted here as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
II / can add the fewest items even
to the body of this vital doctrine l
shall inoeed be grateful to God.

Jesus had just performed specta-

sessed was groveling in the throes of
his agony, now and then crying out in
coherently as the spasm shook him.
The Healer spoke a few sharp words:
Hold thy peace and come out of
him!" Instantly the change is seen
and quiet replaces paroxysm and the
man is well. Amazed at what they
saw, the people with one voice cried
out What is this? A new teaching?"
The crowd is usually stupid, and its
utterances are oftener brutal than
otherwise, but this time it happened
upon great truth, truth which the
soberest minds have often utterly
missed. In the white light of their
excitement, they saw that true doc
trine is always dynamic, that what
creed processes stands or falls upon
its resultant. We are so accustomed
to regard doctrine as a thing for the
schools that we often overlook the
fact that it gets its finest statement in
affairs, not in books or systems. In
deed, am convinced that Jesus of
Nazareth had no earthly interest in
any doctrine not dynamic. A thou

stock posers of His time, but He had
absolutely no patience with either the
questions or their proponents. He

philosophy, and He never swerved

With the extension and develop
ment of the railroads of the eastern
part of Canada, the prospects grow
brighter for the establishment of
new ocean route between the eastern
and western continents. 'Tne terminus
on this side will be Green bay, New
foundland, and the other will be at
some convenient port of Great Britain
and the projectors claim that this will
possibly shorten the transatlantic trip
by SO hours between the United States
and England. But little railroad con-
struction is required to make the
Green bay readily accessible from any
point. A great point in favor of this
route is that it is claimed to be prac-
tically free of fog, and at all seasons
of the year vessels may ply this water
with speed and safety

game has run it's course Il viii have as

champion saic IS bridged. and chess IS
one Of the ns~ans cf demonstrating that
truth.
