For Calder‘s BiOGk FURNITURE Ni One incident only the speaker said marred the joy of the hour : the elder brother refused to speak to him or to come in. _ We all condemn the elder brother, but alas! we too faithfully folâ€" low his example. Remember he did not hear his brother‘s confession, he did not know all that was in his heart ; he was as we are in the world with only the outside of things reyealed. and his cryâ€" ing sin was that he would not believe there was anything worthyv left in the brother. Inquiring how the young man in the parable could have left such a home, he cautioned against supposing that the blame could be shared between himself and his father, Earthly parents may err, but this father never. Nor was it because the young man wanted to know the world. We come to earth with two worlds to exploreâ€"one outside and around us and one of our appetites and passions and it was our work to explore both and subdue them. This home he said was not penned up with a gate, but stretched out wide as the world. The speaker instanced the case of a poor girl whise life was sadly wrecked, but after she was dead there was found on her person a poem helieved to be her own composition, which evidently told the true purpose of ber life. The poem began with the words: f "Once 1 was pure as the snow but I fell, Fell like the snowflakes from heaven to hell. Had we not seen thiat poem we would haye thrust her aside as did the elder brother ; perhaps she was jostled about But coming to * The Welcome," the speaker showed how so often the suspicâ€" ion was in the minds of the prodigal, that no one cared for him. Could he have looked into the old home and read the sorrow that had been so real since he left, how his heart would melt! He showed how much this Father had done : tales of the Good Shepherd, the Lost Money, and this porticn, were but faint echoes of the love that was true to the death. cause it was an ideal story. Jesus might have told what was actually the practice in Judea at the time, but, howâ€" eyer true to fact it would not haye been of much use. The parable had all its interese because it brought into our everyâ€"day liyes the breath of heaven itself, Proceeding to show why he wandered he indicated two causesâ€"selfishness and wilfulness. These he said, were the two strands of the rope that had drawn our first parents away and they had formed the power drawing away every prodigal since. Going on to inquire how he was brought back he dilated on the mission of pain and hunger in starting the reâ€" turn,. We complain because we suffer but pain was our friend. What a fearâ€" ful world it would be if we could hold our hand on the hot iron and no pain warn us that it was destroying it. Pain and anguish are means of our strengthâ€" ening the soul : they are mills of God, and, * The Mills of Godgrini slowly f But they grind eiceeding small." Well, if at any cost we are brought to this spirit and are ready to sayâ€"* I will arise and go to my father." on the street by those far less worthy as we perchance still do with many whom Christ is drawing to himself. , With evident emotion which was abundantly reflected in his hearers he proceeded to say that it is one of the parts of life‘s business to discover the spirit that lies behind all the prosaic accounts we read in the papers or see with our eyes. He had a little poem he wished to read, its music was not per fect, but he felt sure that if the speaker‘s vyoice broke as did some of the accents in the poem, there was, in all his hearâ€" ers, enough of life‘s true poetry to join in the tune. The full text of the poem with the Author‘s introduction, is found below, it turns out to be Mr. Farquharâ€" son‘s own composition and the matter reflects credit on his heart as well as his head. Its copy right for Candda has been applied for under the copy right act for the Durham Review. Starting with his subject he showed that the parable had retained its freshâ€" ness and interest in all generations beâ€" "Jesus, Saviour, pilot me, .__Over Life‘s tempestuous Sea." the event must have been in ever y mind. As Mr Farqubharson announced his subject "The: Welcome _ back of the Prodigal" eyery eye was fixed and eyery earattentive. His treatment of the subject was courageous, tactful and unique, and was presented from a beart pulsating with sympathy and filled with the milk of human kindness. [LatER.â€"The fact that news of Cecil Gun‘s safety is to hand in no wise deâ€" tracts from the interest of these colâ€" umns.â€"Ed.] The congregation in the Presbyterian church on Sabbath morning was sinallâ€" er tHan usual owing to the wet weather. The service was dominated with the sad feeling that peryaded the town over the confirmation of the news of the drowning of Cecil Gun. Not a word was said regarding the tragical ending of our Durham boy, but as the hymn was given out. A STRIKING SERMON. It & true that he had his failings ; But who is there left who has none, He wandered away {rom the homeland Ere the battle was well begun, Yet away in the far off country His hungering spirit would sigh, And the thought of the love he had forfeit Would start the hot tear in his eye. Hard is the life of the seaman, The way of transgressors more hard Bitter‘s the sense of repining, When no one his grief would regard. Yet hidden ‘neath all the rough wildâ€" ness, There are sensitive nerves that feel, Protected ‘mid all the wild roving, Is a heart that is true as the steel.

Not ours to enter in judgment, Or mete out the guilt of another Ours the Heavenlier task to encourage And act the true part of a brother, May the Father who filled with rejoicâ€" ing The halls in the mansion of old To gladden the penitent tumin§ With feasting and purple and gold. P our out on us all of His spirit ; Enlightening our eyes to behold In the naked, the hungry and homeless A brother to win and to hold. May I fill the mission He‘s given me, And do while I‘m here what I may ; Lest our Lord when He cometh discover In me but a poor stowaway. On June 21st of this year the teleâ€" graph wire flashed over the continent the tidings that a lad aged only 18 who had come from London to Boston as a stowaway in the S. S. Virginian, and who bad been ordered deported by the Alien authorities, was drowned in an attempt to swim ashore in Black Rock Channel as the ship was leaving the harbor. The ftollowing lines are lovingly dedicated to the lad‘s mother in sympathy with her in ber sorrow, and in recognition of the manly qualiâ€" ties of the boy in successfully battling with the world at such an early age till the reverse overtook him which ended in his premature death. They said it was only a stowaway Brought from a distant strand, Some useless downtrodden pauper To swell the poor of our land. "Begone", was the message they sent him, ‘‘To land on our shore were a shame, ‘‘The likes of you are but seaweed ‘‘Washed up by the surging life‘s main". "I will arise and go to my Father" Is his cry in his burden of woe, ‘‘I shall show that still I remember "‘Tho‘ who would believe it was so ? "I shall show to the world that true courage, ‘‘‘The manliest power of the soul, * *‘Is not blotted out though misfortune "Like seaâ€"billows surge and roll. But alas for human ambition, Nor terror nor pain could enslave, The ocean tide raised its proud summit, And buried him under the wave.

Durham, Export Cattleâ€"Buyers were able to secure all the cattle they wanted yesterâ€" day, and a good many of them were out of the market toâ€"day.

Little change was shown in the condiâ€" tion of trade at the Western Cattle Marâ€" ket toâ€"day, as compared with yesterday. The ran was smaller, but the demand continued light, and there was no activity. All the cattie offered had a tendency to drag, and a good many bead were left unâ€" sold. The range of prices for cattle is unchanged. Sheep are easier, but lambs, calves and Logs are unchanged. The total run was 62 loads, including 634 cattle, 1,232 sheep and lambs, 64 calyes and 1,384 hogs. Sheep, Lambs and Calvesâ€"Export ewes are again lower. selling of 10c per cwt. at $3,40 to $38.50.

Butchers‘ Cattle â€"Fine cattle were wanted for local trade, but they were very searce. The offerings were rather heavy, but there were too many unfinishâ€" ed cattle. Bad ones are not wanted here at any price, but they keep coming in spite of that fact. _ They sellat yery low prices, and also effect the sale of the betâ€" ter classes. Prices are steady to firm for the good ones. Picked lots sell readily up to $4.72 and choice are in good demand at $4 to $4.40. Cows and bulls are quiet, with light offerings.
