A fool hates good advice. Trouble* were given to teach us our need of ( !od. Live right anil Cod will see to it that yon die right. Hoarding up money never makes anylxxly like JPISUS. The mail who wrong* a brother strikes a blow at God. If we follow Christ somebody will be sure to follow us. The only people who live right are those who love right. The devils sugar-coated pills always have JKUKUU in them. Tho head is never regenerated until God gets into the heart. N T o one ever found the cross who did not take a burden to it. The devil has a tight grip on the man whot<e god is money. If all Christians would keep wide awake no sinner con Id leep. Knowledge can help us toward God, but it cannot bring us to Him. Everything in the Christian's life that is not good ili-lmnors God. One use God makes of a good man Is to prove that the devil lies. If yon want your children to love Jesut>, show them His face in your life. Whenever the devil comes in right f Heaven he begins to hate himself. No gift is precious in God's sight that does not have a grateful heart lie- hind it. The serpent's head IH to be bruised, o matter bow big or little it may look. The devil's cause prospers when OhriKtians quarrel among themselves. Giving as God wants us to is the only way by which we can ever be- eome truly rich. There is no religion in saying that ther people are not as good as they ought to be. Fellowship with Christ cannot be enjoyed by those who seek happiness lu their own way.

Mult hew Arlmer, Ad- Jntant-tieneral, who is still snfforing from i In- iicciilont to his foot, gives tbe following view of the Transvaal war. He says: "I was in England durum' the critical pvriotl preceding the outbreak of hostilities, and while peai e WHS desired aud diplomacy did ita ut most to avert war, it was thought that from the attitude of the Boers sueh was the only solution of the trouble. When it ufisnuiod a seri- ous ati]x-rt they enmmcnced to mobo- lize and equip the troops. We had 85,000 moboli/.od at Aldershot. The valise equipment was need and the clotliniK was of khaki, even the boot* being yollow aud i-orroKpouding to the uniforms." Continuing, Col. Aylmer said that the war occasioned the most intense ezcitoment all over th* Mother Conn- try. Nothing else was talked of. "I was there, "he taul, "when intelli- gence was first received of Canada's intention to Bend out aoontingent, and the aunnnncemont :ius*d great de- light. It merely 'ended to show the reality of Great Britain. Tliose wh attended the .,lueeu's Jubilee, how- ever. m -tronger evidence ef Colonial loyalty and unity iu th* Em- pire's interest. The embarkation of troops was intruded by great outbursts of enihuhiuhui. all hough the men went off in coin parti i r. .ly small detaoh- menrs whenever a -'up was ready. How loug will the war last 1 ?' WM asked. "In Knglaiul it was thonKht that the lioers i-otild be wiped out in a few weeks, but ufti-r the recent develop- ments. I think they have changed their tnne. The country is quite large and full of rocky fastnesses and al- most impervious passes. To my mind at least HKi.OOO men will be required to bun!,' the ibsuu to a snooemful ter- mination." Asked if there was a likelihood of ft second continj." tit going out from Canada, i 'ol. Aylmer thought that by th* tiiiiw the ono whu-li was now en the wuy was m linining trim, there would likely not be a necessity for morn. "Do yon think the Canadian contin- gent will be i-all'-d un u> ughi " "That is what they've gone ont for, but it will 1> somii time !x>fore they are ready. They're a fine lot of men, well olVu-ered ami evi-ry way a oredil to the ivmntry. but they miil ft month's systemtttic drill and practice in ritli- sliiHiting bel'nre U-mg called into action." "That story alwut the oontingen* bmiiK i lei in led for garriHon duty ex- clusively is all bosh, " i-oiitiiiued CoL Aylmer. Th* War < Mlice, if it ever entertained mu-li an idea, would never give it ont. If you went on your knees for such information you would never get it from the War Office. There is surely nothing iu such a minor. , death In a coal ramor - Th. men will probably spend .lamp ..\plovion in tbe Carbon Mill th* llrst mouth in ( ape Town in dis- i mil roinp.iii> s mn n the Northern ciplinnry and other drill.
