The losses by lire during March in this country and in Canada amounted to #10,912,009, an in¬ crease over those for the same month of last year. Such a blus¬ tering month as March ought to make au appalling showing in tires, but if there is not a falling off during the next eighteen days in the record for April, March will brohahly be outdone in this respect by the tearful month.

SABBATH HELPS. Fesson for April 21st. Title of Lesson —The Two Great Commandments. Golden Text —“Love is the ful¬ filling ofthelaw.” Kom. xiii. 10. Time —Tuesday, April 4th in the afternoon. Place—I n the temple court. Pakallel Account.— Mutt. xxii. 34-40. Review and Connection —In our last lesson Jesns gave the rulers of the dews a parable, which was intended as a kind of looking glass, in which they could see themselves. This was in the mor¬ ning. “After Jesus had spoken the three parables, one of which we studied last there were three attempts by three different parties to entrap him into sayiug something which would give them an occasion for arresting him and bringing him before the Roman court. First the Pharasees went to him witli a delicate question, of dune con cerning the payment ti to Caesar. It seemed to them that was no escape for Jesus. Hemusi either offend the Romans or the Jewish people. But Jesus an . uisu -er 0 f marvelous wis J om . which made their question recoil upon their own heads, Next came some Sadduces, seep £?!£££ tion. No answer seemed possible with to them without conflicting simply told the law. But Jesus the full truth, and the question was answered. Once more comes a lawyer, a great and learned doc¬ tor of divinity, and asks another question, to try him, as recorded in to-day’s lesson. Again Jesus, by the simple but iulinite and glorious Peloubei. truth, is triumphant.”— 28 And one of Hie scribes came, and having heard perceiving them reasoning that he together, and had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command¬ ment ofrnll? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shait love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all tby mind, and with all thy strength; this is the first commandment. 31. And the second is like, name¬ ly this'Thou shait love thy neigh¬ bor as commandment thyself. There is none other greater than these. 32. Anil the scribe said unto him Well, Master, thou, hast God; said the truth: for there is one and tliert? is none other but he: 33. And to love him with all the L au t, and with all the understan¬ ding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, burnt-offerings is moi© than all whole and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any ques¬ tion. Explanatory —v. 28. “And one of the scribes:” Matthew calls him a lawyer. and The scribes preserved copied, “Having lteara Kninded them the law. together.” Ho had heard reasoning Jesus’ answers about the tribute money and tho resurrection, and seeing they \\ eje v\ ell ansv, ered, he proposes for lamself one ot the popular theological questions of the day. “Asked him:" perhaps for information, perhaps lor cmi os *W; “’VShich is the first cbm lament of all?” That is which is hrst in importance?

But Jesus, though he had answered the question to the satis faction of those asking it, wished to give them something else for their consideration; and so adds, “And the second (in position Thou shait and importance) is this. love thy neighbor last as six thyself." This embraced the com¬ mandments of the Decalogue. The law is divided into two parts love to God, anti love ought, to man. will It we love God as we we never sin against him; if we love our fellow creatures (man or beast) as we ought, we will do them no »>«««•. is .ft® OI tlio l<iw • liOlll.

And then the scribe repeats the substance of Christ’s answer, and adds that these are ‘ more than all WllOle burnt offerings and sacrifices, This reply seems to us to be also a good one; for if Jesnshad omifct e<l anything in his answer, it was the purely Levities! law; and this ! truly wise man simply adds in 'substance that to worship tlie Lord “inspirit and 'ill truth” is better than ceremonies. v. 34. “Discreetly” means wisely literally having possession and seemed of his mind.” He was wise, to be earnestly seeking the truth. Then how could such a man be “far from the kingdom?” Jesus said he was not. Yet, sad to say there seemed to be a great many who get very near tlie kingdom, without ever entering. Still, an honest heart seeking the truth is very near the kingdom. Dv. Ed¬ ward Judson tells the following: “Before, and for some time after the war, General Wallace was in¬ clined to be sceptical in religious matters, particularly the divinity of Christ. One day, while travel¬ ling on a railroad, he chanced to meet Colonel conversation Ingersoll, the turned infi¬ del. Their on religious topics, and in the course of tlie discussion Ingersoll presented his views; Wallace lis¬ tened and was much impressed, but finally remarked that he was not yet prepared to agree with In gelsoll on certain very extreme propositions relative to the non divinity of Christ. Ingersoll urged Wallace to give the matter tlie careful expressing study and research,, that he had, his confi¬ dence that Wallace would, aker so Ingersoll doing, fully acquiesce After parting, in the view. Wallace turned the matter over in liis mind, and determined to give it the most thorough investi¬ gation. For six years he thought studied and searched. At the end of that time Bon-IIur was pro¬ duced. I met Wallace at a hotel in Indianapolis naturally not long the after. The book was topic of otuj onversation. After liavii g told me the story I have just giv¬ en, Wallace turned to me and said: the ‘The absolute result of conviction my long study that was Jesus of Nazareth was not only a Christ and the Christ, but he was also my Christ, my Savin *, and my Redeemer.
