'They Will Again Test Their Strength . in Parliament. New York, Aug. 8.---The London correspondent of the Evening Post cables as follows: Monday's division in the: House of Commons will be the ses- tion's iinnl test of the Unionist free traders. The resolution is practically one of censure upon Lord Lnnsdowne, Mr. Lyttelton, Lord Selborne. and Mr. Austen Chamberlain for their open alli- ance with i'luunherlainism. and the "ut'ntion, is whether Sir Micheal Hicks- Bmch. Mr. Gosehen and other Minister- ialist free traders have or have not any faith left in Mr. Balfour‘s independence. Some uncomprising members of the party are making frantic appeals to these free traders to vote straight, '4“ ‘Ln nnvnrnmnnt, hut the elee-l Substantial Increase Over Years in Which Same Conditions Prevailed. The sequel snow»; that Elijah was in the right, though Ahab persisted that he Was a bad man, a troubler in Isreal. and am not seem to see that he alone was responsible for the famine.. But he was not the first nor the last wicked man that has taken a similar view of things. Human nature desires to ex- culpate itself from blame, and so fre. quently endeavors to make others- re- sponsible when they are entirely inno- ‘cent. But the day is soon coming that (will vindicate every one who has done 'right and bring every one who has done wrong to confusion. I presume this is a part of the discipline every child of God is able to undergo in this life. He will put every man in their right place in the end. so that the children of God have only to hide their time and all will come out right. I presume this is one of the chastisementy with which God disci- plines His little ones. "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteueth. and scourgeth‘ every man whom He reeeiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whomi the Father chasteneth not? But if ye be Without. ehtrqtisement, whereof are ye partakers. then ye are bastards and not sons" (Heb. xii. 6, 7, 8y.--George W. Coleman. he Pty" was so in this case, and hence Elijah an- swered him, "I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord. and thou hast followed Baa. lam." (1. Kings xviii. 11).) It seems strange that it should be so, but that it has ever been and I suppose will be to the cud of time. No such calamity would fall on men or nations, that would follow the Lord, but it is sent in mercy to bring them back to God. We shall not Cure in eternity what means He has used to bring us back, so that His pur- pose is accomplished. ”um. an)!“ nan promised him" that he would show himself to Ahab that day he was content to tell his master, and then the king went to meet him. When Ahab saw him he said, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” It is e common thing for wicked men to sup- pose that the man who preaches the truth, or that God uses to accomplish His purposes. is the party to blame, when they might blame themselves for the catastrophes that have come. It '"'a'6. u-u your master that Elijah is here." Elijah feared that before his master came the spirit would convey Elijah elsewhere, and Ahab would think he had told a lie, for he knew the earnest- ness with which he had 'sought him. When Elijah had promised him that he maul.) -c__, , . ‘- “row. v1 persons, but in 'every nation he that feareth God, and worketh righteousness, is acce ted of Him" (Acts x., M, M). If all lfis chil. dren were equally faithful he would love all alike. Ahab, the king, had doubtless noticed that he could depend upon Oba- diah, and so had him in his employ. It is the case sometimes that wicked men notice this quality in Christians and de- sire the benefit by employing them. The famine had now continued in Samaria between three and four years, and it was quite difficult to find 8tttV tennnee for man or beast, but God sent Elijah to Ahab, promising to send rain. Ahab had sent his servant through the land to seek for fountains of water and brooks, and also to find grass and thus save the mules and horses, while he sought the some. going another way. Elijah met Obadiah on his errand and said, “Tell your master that Elijah is here."

From the very outset the Premier said he sympa- thized with his policy. even if it involved a. slight addition to the duties on food, but thought it was not practical at the moment, nor was the country ripe for it. l Lord Hugh Cecil, comparing the Ger. jmna. zollverein and the proposed colonial ayatem of preferences, said that 30 years after the zollverein Prussia violently un- nexed two States in the mllverein. It was a mistake to assume that increased trade necessarily meant an increase in affection to Britain. There was a larger trade with Germany than with Italy, yet we did not love the Germans, more. There was preferential trade with Gun. ada down to 1860. Were Canadians then more loyal than now? Mr. Lyttelton. referring: to Mr. Bttl. four's speech at Sheffield. made the note. worthy admiisiun that Mr. Balfour had oxpreawl sympathy with a policy of preferences, although that policy might involve taxation of food. He said that the absorption of four Ministers into what he contended was an annex of the Tariff Reform League was incompatible with non- taxation of food, and ineonsNtent with the assur- ances given from the Treasury bend: definitely pledging the Government against a preferential tariff and a duty on imported food. l London cable: In the House of Com- ‘mons this evening a resolution censuring the Government, offered by Mr Henry (‘ampbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, was defeated by a vote of 210 to 288. The resolution declared that the House regretted that certain of the Ministers had accepted official positions in a poli- tical organization whcih had formally de- elared its adhesion to the policy of pre- ferential duties, involving the taxation of food.

(in July 2 there were 30 to 40 deaths a day at Teheran, and recent cable' des- patehes have. reported a great inereane. The missionaries have opened four cen- tres of relief in Toheran, as both their hospital and their ehurch. and have sent throughout the country directions print- ed in English and Persian, for the guid- anee of the people during the epidemic.
