Job Shenton’a seriaon was one of «reat elcquence and power. His text was taken from the 101st Psalm, lst verse ; ** T will sing of mercy and judgment.’’— This psalm, he said, has been called ‘‘ The Householders Psaim.” The Germanz have called it the ‘‘Micror of Magistrates.” David states how he wiil govern his house- hold and the servants of his palace David's harp here gives two notes, which blend harmoniously ‘“mercy and judgment.” The first note is “mercy.” The song is to God whose mercy endureth forever. From the, lowest minor note to the highest major note on this scale, it is mercy, (1.) Govern- menial mercy. God's rule is over all. “‘The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice.” We are under a government of mercy and jastice, and are glad. Wisdom character- izes God’s rule—movre sunshine than cloud, more fine weather than storm. The thunder cloud ts spanced with the bow, whose colors blend as all the attributes of Deity blend in the government of the world “The Lord reigneth—tremble.” We get our ideas of power by comparison. The wave that lifts the vessel on the rocks, the wind that sweep along, the silent law of force in the _ ouvniverse, He that launches the tempest snd guides the stars is the God that rules. Sing of providential mercy. it touches us everywhere. Are not aware of danger. The young manafew days agodid not know that death was so near, ashe went forth to his work. On Thanksgiving Day, as we sat in thie church, we did net know that a disease, subile and deathly, had been stealthily creeping in so many homes, But lke a bolt ont of aclear sky it smote us with its startling suddenness and its terror. Said the preacher, [ could onl repeat for days the words of the 91st Psalm : ‘‘ He that dwolleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” For the safety of our homes, our families, let us sing of mercy. Here reference was made to health and domestic comfort. (3) Sing of redeeming mercer. God’s love great to men. The sin, rebellion, wickedness of the world, the cause of that display of love in the incarnetion, redemption and inter- cession of Christ. Sing of thie mercy, Need it every hour. Perpetnal mediation implies perpetual mercy. Kept by that mercy every hour. Gratitude is here urged in view of that governmental, providential and redeeming mercy. The second note of the song is judgment. Clouds and darkness ‘are about God; rig teousness and justice are the habitation of His throne. Governments exist to carry outlaw. Disorder must follow the failure of justice. These points were here pre- sented. Sentiment may arise about the judgment upon murder. It was provoked. The law holds that the murderer ought not to allow passion to control him. The man was drunk. You go back of the act and judge that a man ought not to destroy his reason by drink. Political reasons. The man whose hands wers imbrived in the blood of the citizens of this land, who was guilty of treason, ought to die. Justice demanded it. The majesty of tho law, not political reasons or rece, demands the execution of ® just sentence. [ do not, said the preacher, pload for harshness, nor do I speak as from a political standpoint, but I soeak according to the principles of justice, oa must maintain law for personal and paralyze the arm of the law two or three men could terrorize the whole population. Let the arm strike hard, let it strike surely, and you have safety. Justice is seen in judgment tpon person- al sins. David found it so in the case of Uriah, and though he sinned, his people suffered. A distinction must be made be- tween what God does,and what He permits. These illustrations were given. Liquor is sold legally or illegally. The seller gets rich—flaunts his riches, The drinker gets poor—pauperism, want aud crime follow. You have police, magistrates, almshouses, jails, etc. These are the effects. You stand around a pestiferous swamp giving medicine to the diseased. Why not remove the cause? ‘If you do not strangle the liquor trafic it wil strangle you.” ‘The smallpox is in our midst. You know how it has spread. In the hospital,the flagged houses, the terror of the people, the paralysing of business, you have the effects. But why not remove the cause? Every house of ill- repute ought to be closed and so stamp out the cause, A_ tribute was here paid to tha Mayor, Board of Health, and Vitizens’’ Commitiee, and to the public opinion so general that has supported all measures for the isolation and suppression of the disease. Finally all were urged to put their trust in this God, whose mercy and jastice blend in the government of all our lives, and to prepare for suffering, doiug, dying and triumphing.

RXPERIENCES IN THE MONTREAL HOSPITAL — THE DREADFUL SCENES TO BE WITNESSED, (Fredericton Gleaner.) Mr. Sherman W. Boone, in a letter to his friends, which they have consented to have published, givesa description of the smallpox sufferers, and the treatment of patients in Montreal. Hewrites that when it was discovered he had smallpox he was until the smallpox van arrived. This van is used for conveying the patients to the a bread cart, except that it is built on a sloven and the roof is higher. On the flocr is aseat and a little stove in the corner. There is an 8x19 pane of glass in the door behind, and two young men are in attendance, one the patient inside, while the other drives. public safety If in this city you a enough to lie down, took a position on the seat. We went along the streets at a snaii’s speed—the children running out into the street to get a glimpse at the new victim through the small window, and, in fact, everybody seemed anxious to find out who the unfortunate was. ‘*A(ter half an hour’s ride the van came te a halt, and, backing up to a door, 1 was let out and ushered in to a large room about 40x 50 foot. A strange medley met my ears, for there I was surrounded by some thirty smallpox patients in all stages of the disease. Here was one, who, in his de- lirium, was determined to get up and go out of doors, and making every attempt to dodge the nurses, who were running to catch him. Another was singing as well as he could with swollen tongue and throat all raw; while others too weak to rise or speak lay moaning and attempting to get at their faces with their swollen hands in order to tear their flesh from their cheeks, and pools of blood are consequently left on their pillows. The nurses ave busy all the time, running from cot to cot to give this patient a drink, whether a sleeping draught, an- other a piece of ice, and so on. I was con- ducted to a bed. It was a hard place to look for rest, but I knew of no alternative, so obeyed. My clothes were then taken from me, and I was made to consider myself one of the unfortunate inmates. By this time it was night, and as the room was lighted by electricity, I had a good chance to look around. About threo feet from me lay ayoung Scotchman. His face was badly swollea, but he will recover, Near me on the right was a young Cana- dian, now convalescent, Next below me a boy about ten years old, wildly delirious and screeching with might and main. He died shortly after. The next man was slightly better but covered with boils and in an awful estate. Next was a man very low, fac» swollen past all recognition, tongue of enormous siz, and head resting in a pool of blood. His hand being free he had torn the diseased flesh from his cheeks. I saw him before coming out. He will live but will bo a hard looking creature. On the opposite side of the room lay a young man, of one of the best families of Mon- treal, a3 L afterwards learned, stricken with black smallpox. He died bleeding from the noge, lungs and in fact from aj! parts of the body, in dreadful agony. His was the saddest case I witnessed while there. Enough for individual cases, to give you some idea of life in a smallpox hospital. When a patient dies, he is rolled in a sheet and carried out to the dead house, where he is placed in a pine box, taken te the graveyard and buried in a gereral grave. He dies without a word to his parents, or any earthly friend, except the nurses. ‘* After stoppirg in that ward two days, I was removed to a private ward, which had been occenpied before. After this [ did ot see so much suffering, except when I went the rounds in company with the doctor, when I was getting better. The Protestants and Catholics are in different buildings. ‘There were, when I leit the hospita’, abent 200 Catholics and 45 Pro- tes\an's, Desidss the many who ere sick in isolated houces. I found the nurses in the hospital all very kind and willing to dou everything they could to relieve the suffer- ing patients. Plenty of fruit is constantly sent to the hospital, and all the provisions are nicely co ked and served. As no one is allowed toc mein the building except those ia charge, I found it terribly lone- some and dreary. A minister, however, calls every other day, and holds service Sunday afternoon.” Mr. Boone was in the hospitel in all sixteen days, and has now so far recovered from the disease as to be able to resume his medical studies. He says he caught the disease somewhere in New Brunswick and strongly advises all his friends to get vaccinated. The Grit Inventive Faculty. (** Pica” in Toron o News ) The special correspondents are still bothering their brains trying to find out what started Sir John cff to England in that singularly abrupt and sky-rocket manner.

For Blake to see him. For his health. To see Dr. Clarke. To see Tupper. To send Tupper back. To teke Tupper’s place. T. get a new ti'le. To be made an earl, To fix the fishery ques‘ion. To arrange for reciprocity. To look after Canada’s exhibit at the big show. To make himself solid -with the new Im- p2rinl government, To teli the Queen his newest story. To flood Quebec with regular troops. To get out of the way of the French. To ask for a revision of the constitation. To mystify the Grits.
