LITTLE ENGLANDER.  - ----• I fear that sections of the Church of Christ have Leen and are making the mistake of Israel that election is no end in itself. If no. the result will be disastrous. Election is rrimarily selection and separation for service. A call to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. I holm our idea cf the Church in not that of "a little garden, by election walled around." If it is ea, the sooner we lutpclt down the walls the bitter both for the world and for ourselves. For such walls shut out blessing rather than enclose it. Or. if we most have walls let us eeck to become like Joseph—" Joesph i, a fruitful bough, even a traitfill bough by a well: whose branches run over the wall." We must enlarge our sympathies, widen our outlook. We must not be little Englanders in religion, but Imperialists. Christian Imperialists, seeking by the power of the Spirit of God, j through the agency of the Church of God, to win the world for Christ. Let me give in closing several reasons 'why I urge that Church members s"muld become Christian Imperialists. (I) It is Christ's comrtmnd. 12) The Provichmtial order !squires it. The doors of the nations are now rpm. People are asking for the Gospel, for teaclsers and guides. Such opportunities never nem before its the history of the Kingdom. (3) But self-interest should prompt the Church to service on behalf of missions. There is what has been termed the reaction of missions. It is a common principle. "Give, and it shall be given you"; •• With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again": "He that watereth ethers shall himself be svareels" The texts give us a principle: To he blessed. must bless; to receive, most give. Have we not here the rearen for the low spiritual life of the Church?, She has not done her duty, net fulfilled her obligations to her Lord and to the heathen world, and is suffer.  istg in eunacquenee. A missionary church is a humidly church. Selfishness is suicide; self-sacriSoo is self-preservation.

ZAM-BUR CURES POISONED AND ULCERATED ARMS.  Very few of those housewives who admire the beautaul work of the French polisher think of the physical suffering which has sometimes to be endured so as to give such a finish to the furniture. The chemicals used hare frequently a SOTlOU,effect upon the man's hands is,d arms, and in a recent Liverpool case, blood poisoning and ulceration was tha result. The victim was Mr. Joseph IT. Ames, of 2. Ravlan-tnrace, Alma-street, Everton. Linerpool, and he has given an account of his sufferings. and of his cure by acing Zarn.Buk, to a Liverpool : reporter: " About revers or eight years ago," said Mr. Jo,ce, ''lnv fingers gct covered with blisters in consequence of a strong polish I had been using. These blisters became very irritable, and in a short time developed into ulcers, which caused mo to seek medical aid. For several years I wan taking medicine, but I never seemed to proper... 7 recover. Shortly alter Christmas the affection spread to my arms and legs, and I was quite us. , able to work. I had to lay up. My fingers were rwollen, stiff, and were all out of shape. whilst my arms had to be blinlaged twice a clay, and I was helpless as a child. My wife had to wash, dress, and feed me, and I settled down as a confirmed invalid. "About this time my wife had beers using ZamBuk succe,sfully for her chapped hands, and she prevailed on me to give it a trial. I did so, with a result that Can only be described as magical. With absolute truth, I may say that from the first my hands And arms commenced to improve, and at the end of a fortnight I was completely cured. The swellings bad gorse. the stiffness vanished and the sore places were all healed up. I attribute this entirely to the soothing. antiseptic and cura• tire powers of Zam-Bulc, and when I think of the nights of sleeplessness I have suffered, of the agony I endured, my cure seems incredible."
