SUBSCRIBE For: AN IMMENSE STOCK 0F READ FOR‘ RICHMOND HI LL i see it announced in one of the daily papers that the license of' :1 none too reputable innkeeper is likely to be trans- ferred to a large and well manned hotel which for a long time has been seeking in vain for permission to sell liquor. ' It is said that. this well and l'avorabiy known hotel will have to pay $3,500 to 'oblaih a privilege which has heretofore been enjoyed by a man who had nothing to recommend him save his connection Yvith so-called Liberal party. It is also casually mentioned that this $3,500 will pay his debts to the brewers, distillers, cigarâ€"makers, 85c. Is the license comâ€" mission in the city of Toronto to be miliï¬ed as a collection agency for the brewers and distiller-s? Are men who cannot keep out of the clutches of the inw to be given so Valuable a l'rancltiSe While reputable persons with hotel acâ€" commodation inealeulubly superior, with a clues of trade which eannot be com- pared to that of .a groggeryi to be fireâ€" 'Vettte'd i‘rom supplying; their boarders and Lransienb gï¬Ã©afa With nuuh liquid refreshment as they may desire. The license commissioners seem to be acting upon the idea that license holders have acquired a franchise which must not be taken away from them unless the person obtaining it pays a large amount of blood money. Even,as in the present instance, when disreputable conduct has made it impossible for the present license holder to retain his privilege, We are led to be» lieve that he or his creditors must be recompensed for the withdrawal of it. On the other hand, the man who has built a large and expensive hotel, which is a credit to the city and a convenience to the traveling public, it is held, has no claim for the privilege which is not inâ€" tended t‘or his proï¬t but as a public convenience. The licensing system was not established, nor was the reduction of' the number of licenses intended for the benefit of' hotelkcepers, but for the proâ€" tection of'the public. Why then are the License Commissioners conducting their business as iftlielicense,tvlien in the hands of a Favorite partism, is personal property and must not be disturbed, even for the most pressing public reasons, without the licensee being compensated? Under this system, even if' a million-dollar hotel were erected in Toronto, the proprietors of it must make an estimate of four or ï¬ve thousand dollars to purchase a license. This license would probably be taken from some ward healer, who had been selling bad whiskey in a oneâ€"horse tavern and the price received would be paid to keep him from being ugly at election times while the proprietors of the new hotel would be but paying the ï¬rst instalâ€" merit of asort of political blackâ€"mail, which having become ï¬rmly established is now evidently regarded by the great Reform Party as a legitimate business. â€"Don. The Mowat Government Trafï¬- ï¬cking in Liquor Licenses. By the annual report of the vital sta~ tistics of Ontario, lately issued from the Ofï¬ce of the Provincial Secretary, it is found that the number of marriages registered during the year 1889 was 14,551, an increase of 91 over the preâ€" vious year, giving a rate of 13.4 persons :inarried to 1,000 living. From a. denoâ€" minational standpoint, it appears that .the religion of those married was as folâ€" lows :â€"-Methodists, 10.057; Presbyter- ians, 5,713; Episcopalians, 5,209; Roman Catholics, 4,043; Baptists, l,- 682 ;' Lutherans. 591 , congregational- hats, 565, and the others divided among ‘smaller denominations. December seems to be the most popular month for marâ€" riages, and August the least popular. During the year 2,767 persons were married under twenty years of age, of Whom 2,560 were males and 207 females. In the next period, between twenty and twenty ï¬ve years, 11,566 persons were married, 6,578 females and 4.988 males, showing that the proportion of females to males was not nearly so great as in the preceding period. In every other period of life the ages of the males when married exceeded those of the females. Inert: were thirty-one persons married at seventy years and over, twentyâ€"nine bride-grooms and We brides. The oldest brideâ€"groom was eighty- four ‘years, and the oldest bride seventy-two years. The united ages ofthe oldest couple married was 148; their respec-- tive ages were seventy- eight and seventy years. The greatest disparity between the ages of any couple married was that of a man eighty-four years old, who took for his wife agirl oftlte age of seventeen years. Coming to youthful marriages. nine girls were married at the age of fourteen and twenty-ï¬ve at fifteen years. Two boys at. the age of seventeen and seven at eighteen years were married. In one case the bride- groom was seventeen and the bride fourteen years. A sermon preached in St.- Marys, Rich- mond Hill, June 26H], at the funeral of M‘s. Clm-kson, by Rev. W. Wheatley Bates, M. A., Rector. Romans viii, l8â€"I reckon that the suf- ferings of Ibis present lime are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. There are generally at a funeral those who desire to hear something of the last moments of the departed and Ihe last words uttered. Such a desire is morbid, and should not. be gratiï¬ed Of her that. is gone I will simply say Iliat she was a great sufferer. All that loving care and atten- tion could do for her bodily comfort was done; all that, l, as an ambassador for Christ, could do for her spiritual welfare. I did,'und I had every opportunity of doing so; but notwithstanding all. she was indeed a great sufferer. Now th'e thoughtful Christian can hardly help asking himself why the All-wise and Alhloviug Father permits suffering to come upon His faithful people; and this question I propose to ‘a'nswerâ€"not fullyl indeedI for that is im- possible-but pnrtially.

Thus it is that the Anestle (speaking of himsell) says, "I knew a mun 1 am more, in labours more nbuudnm, in stripes above measure, in prisons mnrp frequent, in dealhs 0ft. 0f the Jews ï¬ve times received I forly Snipes save one Thrit e was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I sufï¬ared ship- wreck, in day perity and happiness resulted from obediu ence to the covena’ntinto which they enter- ed at Sinai. and that suffering was the result of‘ unfaithfulness. Hence oneof their ob- jections against Christianity Was that it could not. be the true religion, inasmuch as those who embraced it were certain to 80?; fer persecution. St. Paul might well have retorted that if suffering shewed the religion of the sufferer to be falseï¬then the Jewish Religion must be false; that. if adversity shewed that those upon whom it came were not faithful to God, then the Jews them- a‘eliv'ee 'were not faithful; for were they not at that very time in subjection to a foreig, power, the Romans?

It is certainly a great mystery to mortals why such :1 Being as the Christian's God ever permitted sufl'ering to enter into even the most insignificant corner of the universe. One can understand the necessity of law for man’s guidance and of the intliction ot'a penalty upon the diaobedient; but one can- not understand why those should have to i softerâ€"even though the suffering be not of the nature of a penultyâ€"nvho'se most anxious desires and earnest efforts are that they may obey God’s L'iw as perfectly us that law can be obeyed by man while in a state of probrttion. This is the question to which [said Vl,\vo!L14.Ltg\to rgjvqesnme an- swer: it must be remembered that man does not occupy his proper’pluce in creation, the position God meant him to occupy, the position which at ï¬rst he did occupy. His soul is like a sentient being forced to live out of its natural element. There is evil to be removed, sin to be purged uwrry, error to be corrected, defects to be remedied. ‘ May it. not be thatâ€"in the very nature of' thingsâ€"sutfexing is the most etfective mee‘us, perhaps the only means, by which all this cm be accomplished? Not that sulfating is man’s saviour ; but that. it. is an essential factor in working out his salvation. Man, from the very cor.ditions of his moral being, was at the first capable of pursuing one or the other of two difl'erent and op- posite courses; and hence, at the very be- gitmift"; his going in the wrong‘oourse wss‘ Now even the most saintly Christians are no exception to the universal rule of "the whole creation†suï¬ering on accoltnt 6f sin ; for though redeemed. adopted, sealed, always trying to yield. a perfeet obedienée‘ l0 “18 Law of God as expanded and inten- siï¬ed in the Gospel, and do.in becoming more. sanctiï¬ed. yet; they have to suffer some of sin’s temporalrtunsequences. But. sad as the suï¬'erings of the saints undoubt- edly are, St. Paul does not look upon them as being useless; on the contrary he shews how they may be of great advantage, how good may be educed from what is in itself really evil; and then he looks forward to the time when, having accomplished its purpose. all suffering shall have passed away for ever. and the everlasting state of the l'uithl'nl members of Christ's Body Mys- tical shall be one of indescribable blessedâ€" ness and glory. MCCOLL’S Renowned Cylinder Oil Sufferings are often transformed into blessings to the sufl‘erers themselves; and are sometimes productive of great good to others, that is, they are in reality sometimes vicariously sacriï¬cial. lctliyologists tell us that oyster pearls are the result of' disease; so that, the very substance of the shellï¬sh is transformed into pearls which afterwards perchnnce bedcck the brow of beauty. So, too .the sufferings of the saints have often developed and brought to light hidden spiritual beauties which had lain embryotic in the soul, and which at last will make the Crown of the God-Man all the man glorious. As to the sacriï¬cial character of sufferings‘even those of others as well as the saints~it may be ob- served thntnlmost every material advantage which the civilized world possesses has re- sulted from suffering. Not a pang of human sorrow is useless; it. is beneï¬cial to some one sometime or other. Victims of accidents have suffered; their suffering have led to improvements in mechanical productions which httvo saved others from similar sufferings.

Now mo§2it notihe that the Omniscient God, knowing, this.,» pre- pared the world for the correlation of the effects which would be produced.it' the above possibility were to become an actual fact, and that He saw that. the sus- ceptibility of suffering by all creatures having animal life was a necessary part. of this preparation ? On this hypothesis stil‘~ fering is a remedial, corrective, restoring agent, an all important factor in man’s salvation from sin's power and penalty; and made necessary from the very ï¬rst, even before man's creation. by the know- ledge and love of God, seeing that by the former He knew that man would fall into sin, and that by the latter He would be im- pelled, so to speak. to rescue man from sin and its consequences. Had it pleased God to make men of". lower nature than he is. had man been ul- together material, suffering, it may he, would have been altogether unnecessary. The world, however, was not. made for beings of this kind, but for man created in the image of God, for man having a spiritual nature as well as a physical, for man capable ofexercising free will, for man who might possibly fall from the position in which the Creator would place him; and, hence, that he might be rescued, restored. more than restored, if he did full, painâ€" and therefore the provision for pain in the very constitutiOn of the worldâ€"may have been absolutely necessary. Sin is a foreign and deadly substance that has found its way into man’s nature; pain is the surgical knife by which it may be removed; and the knitle is in the Hand of the Good l’hysi- cian. Sin is dross combined with the precious metal of men’s nuturei pain is the furnace by which it nan be burned away; and He who presides over the operation is Christ Jesus. the Divine Reï¬ner of Silver. But, paln is a preventive as‘well as a cor- redtive. There is but one right path. whilst those that are wrong are innumerable. Into any of these latter man is liable to wander, and bring upon himsell (lire calam- ities; but pain stands like a sentinel at the entrance of each wrong path, and warns the traveller to go no further. There tire many shoals and rocks on any of which man is liable to be wrecked; pain is the floating bell, ever sounding its note of warning and telling the mariner of hidden danger. So, after all, pain, in the present state of things, is a. manil‘eslation of Divine Power, Wisdom, and Goodness. MCC‘OLL BROS. & CO- TorontO.
