Christ and unless it is so doing 1t is coming short of the purpose for which it was created. We should not forget that our re- ligious and moral influence de- pends more upon the life than upon the profession.
 Christianity seeks to make man happy, not by making the world outside of him just as he would have it, but by making his SOUL as God would have it, so that he is adjusted to his surroundings. The contented man has Christ in his heart, he like Paul has learned to be contented in any state, that is he restricts all his wants and desires within the compass of his present posses sions and enjoyments.
 Wealth, however enormous, ambition, however boundless and successful, has never produced contentment. Why labor for that which is not bread? Hear Him who spake as never man spoke: Gone unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. for l am meek and lowly in heart, and ye SHALL find REST unto your souls. !"
 The human heart, can never find rest, be content or satisfied until it finds it's rest in the God who created it.

CABLE BREAKS,
 SHIP AGROUND

It is an old story that misfortunes come in pairs, and the latest exempli- tication is the cable service.
 For two weeks the cable has been out of commission, q break having oc- cured in the neighborhood of Sitka. Immediately the interruption was noticed, the cableship Burnside hurried to repair the break. Latest reports are that she has run aground some where, and so delayed the mending of the cable.
 Messages are being sent over the Canadian lines, but the congestion is so great that much delay is being ex- perienced in the receipt and despatch of messages.

inquest could be held. This was about February If of this year.
 Dr. NJ. F. Spier produced drawings to illustrate the wounds found on tho bodies of the murdered men. On the larger man was hole from bullet which had entered a little below the right nipple, passing through the heart and lungs. The jaws were firmly set, and the hands clenched in a manner which indicated that death had been instantaneous. The smaller man had two wounds-one through the intes- tines from the left side and passing down the right leg and out little below the knee, and the other passing through the left leg a little above the knee. This man probably lived for several minutes after being hit. It was possible that the wound on the bigger man, and the frst-mentioned wound on the other were made by the same bullet.
