NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration was signed in London on the 2let of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows :— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party shall be found within the territories of the other party." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall the High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their own subjects, whether by birth or naturalisation."

Change for the up line !" " Yes," I thought, " and a better sermon in a few words could not be preached." These are the very words that God's Holy Spirit is whispering into our ears—" Change here ! Change here for the up line ! You are on a down grade that must end in your destruction. Change at once !" As we speed over the country by night we notice the signals— red, green, and white. How about your signals 1 Are they all right, or are you dashing along at railroad speed and disregarding them ? In God's own word they stand and gleam on every page. Red flashes out over and over again—" Danger"; " The wages of sin is death." Green speaks " Caution''; " Watch and pray, lest ye enter into tempta- tion." And white tells of " Safety " ; " Fear net, I am thy shield, and thy exceed- ing great reward." And then again the railway tunnels ; everyone of us has passed through many a tunnel already, those times of darkness and forrow when all around looks black. " Fear not," Christ says, " I am with thee." A little while and the trouble passes ; we are out of the darkness, speeding along in the sunlight. " All things work together for good to them that love God," and we have learned the great problem over which many are puzzling. Oh! the railway switches of life ; how many they are and how dangerous ! We read of a man named Judas who once followed the Lord tnd preached the gospel. The devil was watching- How should he turn him off the heavenly line 1 A golden switch answered— and there are drinking switches; and jealousy switches, and many more. But if there are switches from the up on to the down line, th^ re are, praise God, plenty of switches from the down to the up, so " Change here for the up line." anci you will always be thankful you did it. Who is our engine driver? " I am my own master." Ah, no ! we may think so, but there is an invisible hand on the lever, the hand of Christ or the hand of the devil. Whose hand is on ours ?
