SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A recent case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Oflice to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a coursc will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies, SPECIAL NOTICE, PERSONS IN CUSTODY. EXPLOSIONS.

My kinsmen stand afar off'." Thus did they treat the Crucified One eighteen hundred years ago. How are we treating Him to- day 1 Another " Good Friday" is gone, and what has the event commemorated on that day been to us ? Has it been nothing to us as we passed by 1 Stop and listen — He who is " Mighty to save" ( Isaiah lxiii. 1), " Able to save" ( Heb. vii. 25), " Ready to save" ( Isaiah xxxviii. 20), still speaks from that Cross, and in His sayings He reveals Himself to us. " Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." He is our High Priest. He ever maketh intercession for us. " To- day shalt thou be with me in Paradise," and who could gainsay the King's Word which went forth with power ? " Behold thy son," and in His thought for the grief and loneliness of another, do we not see our Burden- Bearer? Again, in that terrible cry, " My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me!" may we not each one answer that question, Why ? " for me." He is the Scapegoat. He was made sin " for me." " I thirst," and to- day, too, He would fain be our Substi- tute. He thirsts for souls, and would fain see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied. " It is finished." If He says so. surely we may believe it; and lastly, let us hear Him say, " Father, into Thy Hands I commend my spirit," and learn something of that spiritual life which, beginning with forgiveness, ends in entire self- surrender. " And I, if Ibe lifted up, will draw all men unto Me." " How shall we escape if we neglect so great salva- tion?" See that ye " do not frustrate the grace of God." S. AND H.
