Tho Attorney In England.

The use OF the word attorney denotes
a belated mind. Since Nov. l, 1876.
attorneys have ceased to exist. their
title merged by law into that OF solic-
itor of the supreme court of judica-
ture. says a writer in the London Mail.
The name had long been used as n
term of abuse. Johnson observed of
an acquaintance that che did not care
TO speak Ill of any nan behind his
back, but he believed the gentleman
was an attorney"
Archbishop Trench in 1859 noted that
the word attorney was going out of ia
vor and that the lower branch of the
legal profession preferred to be called
solicitors. So when the judicature act
of 1878 was before parliament a clause
was inserted abolishing the obnoxious
title. But with our delightful con
servatism we still honor the attorney
general"

reer. Born In Australia In 1852, he
took up golf late in life and when he
was t~hirty-eight won his first national
championship. He is the oldest golfer
who ever captured the national title.
So wonderful a player Is he that at
the age of fifty-three he won the met
ropolitan crown from a field which in
Guided such stars as Travers, Kirkby,
Anderson and Marsden. He won the

The Sunday School Lesson

heard the Lord say 1t to Solomon. Our
Lord Jesus said 1t TO the blind man,
but what shall we say of John xiv, -,
IA, written for us and being said to
us continually. Whatsoever We shall
ask In my name that will | do. that the
Father may be glorified in the Son"
Elisha wanted something very definite
ly, and he asked for 1t, and he full
filled the conditions. and he received it.
The conditions seemed easy, but they
implied intense and unwearied stead
fastness.
If we would walk with the Lord and
look upon him and unto him as In
tently as Elisha looked upon Elijah
that day we would see some desires
granted. We must ask expectantly, be-
lievingly, persistently, in his name and
for his glory. Well, Elisha did not
fail in looking. He saw Elijah taken
and received what he sought, and 9th
ers saw that he had received 1t. He
rent his own clothes, suggesting the
end Of self, took up the mantle of
Elijah that fell from him, smote the
NuieTS, anu thts PoitSu hi'hcif anu
thither, and Elisha went over. The
o n of the prophets We're watching.
and they said, 1.-The spirit Of Elijah
doth rest on Elisha" verses IA, 15).
If we are redeemed we are here In
Christ's stead to manifest his life and
do his works by his spirit dwelling
I'm us.
The request of the young mar to be
permitted to look for Elijah lest the
spirit of the lord might have taken
him to some mountain or valley was
finally granted by Elisha, though he
knew how vain 1t would be. When
Enoch was taken he also was sought
for, but was not found. as we learn
from Heb. ri. 5. What a search for
the missing ones there will be when
the church is taken, but nde one shall
be found. Yet as truly as Elijah was
seen with Christ on the Mount of
TRANSPORTATION about 900 years later
so when Christ, who Is our life. shall
appear we shall appear with him In
glory (Col. iii, a when he shall re-
turn to the earth to set up his king
dom, fulfilling the TRANSPORTATION fore
~shadowing. The constant expectation
of being caught up to meet the Lord
in the air will tend to separate us from
this present evil age.
