predominated as regards sbahp advances intensi fied by the possibilities opened up by the proposed copper refinery on the atlantic seaboard the issuance of a limited quantity of ventures lim ited shares by the lindsleys has also provoked considerable comment the new issue has won early popularity and some observers have predicted for it a very satisfactory market career it is much too early to gauge the latter at this stage but it is per haps apropos to quote the old adage nothing succeeds like success ventures limited starts out with large interests in sherritt gordon sudbury basin falconbridgi and numerous other properties of merely prospective merit it will have a large interest in the proposed copper refinery it has the advantage of shrewd and capable management the private offering of 8 per shaft was oversubscribed several times jver falconbridgi and sudbury basin achieved noteworthy gains during the third week of tho month the specul ative public has begun to discount the futuroof tho falconbrldgo nickel en terprise there aro understood to be some interesting developments in connection with the disposal of this companys products tha beginning of production is a long way in the future however recent develop ment results have been quite favor able it is noteworthy that there is only a limited amount of stock in the publics hands and the price is there fore suscoptlblo to sharp fluctuations sudbury basin attained a new peak price at 1375 it was carried up partly in sympathy with fabcnbrldge and also because of urlhor favor able developments at vormllllon lake the interests of sudbury basin fal- conbridge and ventures limited are linked togetber sufficiently that it is quite conceivable that developments affecting one or two directly will move the whole group the higher priced issues that con tinue to command a great deal of at tention international nickel has been fluctuating between s5s75 and 6275 this stock vas affected ad versely by the general drop of new york stocks influenced by the an nouncement that the reins of credit would be drawn tighter nickel has acted remarkably well aning every thing into consideratiou its spons ors aro etill talking confidently of much higher prices pointing to extra ordinary developments at the frood mine and probable profits in justifica tion it must be conceded that this strong canadian financial

only baptism an the lords supper there are iso great difference as to the- meaning of these sinn sacra ments the roman cathoics teach that in the lords supper tit sacrifice of christ is reau- for our purpose then is perhaps no better definition of a sacrament than that contained in the westminster confession of faith a sacrament is an hiiy ordinance in stituted by christ wherein by sen sible signs christ and the benefits f the new covert are represented sealed and applied to believers the passages which refer to the lojs supper fall into two grous mark and matthew go together while luke and paul form the other group it is in 1 corinthians that it is intci prom inent see 1 cor 10 113 1422 11 1734 i liaptisji iate 2s 19 20 v 19 baplisri is the rite of initia tion into the church it was institut ed by jesu himself and we find that it was practiced from the very earliest days in some passages baptism is in the name of christ but in the present verse it is wha is called trinitarian baptism most f those baptized in ttcse early days were naturjlly adults but we have hints that the en tire family of a leliever would receive bapt also this is trrt of the philippian jailer v 20 it i quite evidm from this verse that baptism was not a mora magical act but was directly associat ed with obedience to the teaching jf jesus it was not only a privilege but it also involvd certain obligations those who received it were called to i life of service jtsus does not teach that there are ally i sceraus virtues in the baptismal water whch change the person as by n pic hut we think- chiefly of the ichness and aptness of the symbol we continue tc celebrate this sacrament because it was tho command of christ in the practico of infant aptism while the child is not yet conscious of its meaning yet the act is a bold claim made that the blessing and savin pover of christ are available for suci little ones these chilurcn are also part of christs church did he not himself say of little children of such is the kiigdom of heaven ii the lords supper 1 cor ll2c29 v 23 the lords supper is differ ent from baptism in that it continues right through the life of tle disciple whereas baptism is dispensed once for all this iette gives very valuable testimony to the usage of the early church for it was written about twentysix year- aftei the death of jesus and in this passage paul takes for granted that tnis sacrament has long been a part of the christi ifi wor ship whenihe says ho received it from the lord he iles not likely mean that it came directly by a special re velation to himself but that it came from christ through the words of those who haa been with jesus during those last hours when he instituted this feast v 24 when jesus says this ic my body he does not mean the bread and wino are actually turns d into his flesh and blood but just as the body is the medium through which tho spirit of man expresses itself so this visible sacrament is a means of bring ing to us the mind and will of christ the one necesity in a true celebration is to keep christ before out eyes and to remember that he is cvci near us everything in the sacrament turns on the presence of our saviour most will know of the famous pictuv of tho last supper by leonardo da vinci and it is to be noted that all the atten tion is turned ucon christ alone wo may notice three facts about this sacrament 1 it is a commemoration this do in remembrance of me the feast is meant to stimulate ur mind and to enrich and strengthen our christian rmieory so that the past will moro and more be colored by the lova and life of christ v 23 2 it is sthis verse says a covenant by vhich we understand thrt god enters into an agreement with us and pledges himself to watch over and bless us christ has estab lished tho ovenart sealing it with his blood ar 1 in this feast wo are to claim this privilege which he ha3 so simply provided fo- us v 26 3 it is a prophecy jesus as he instituted tho sujper looked forward to the time when ho would be raised in glory and ascend to the righ hand of the father and ii promises the disciples thrtthe time will como w he will return for them and take them to th- house of many man sions when he will again drh if tho fruit of the vine in his fathers pres ence thus does jesus lift up the eyes of his sorrowing followers o the glor ious vision of ihosc days when all their troubles will pass away in tho joy of heaven we may therefore sny that this sacred snerau nt feeds two of the most important streams of christian life the memory and tho imagination every scholar should look toward to participatin in tho lords supper the pcnumntlc tire was known but unwanted ns early as 1845 which gives one hope at some day uso will be found for old number yiatcs
