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 Bhall 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."

PERHAPS' What a tantalising word " perhaps " is ! Tantalising in its doubtfulness, and it is something more than that. It is a confession. Not the proudest, the most self- suffi- cient, the most presumptuous ventures to say " I will." The words may be used, but deep in the heart is the acknowledgment of the " perhaps " Perhaps is very aggra- vating . . . but wait a moment. We are not always obliged to say " perhaps." " I know that my Redeemer liveth." The earthly father says to his child, Perhaps you shall be with me"; the Lord says, " Where I am, there shall My servant be." An earthly friend says, " Perhaps I will help you." The Almighty Friend says, " Ask, and ye shall receive." He changeth not—" the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever." Let us consider Him for a few moments in His character of Sympathis- ing Friend. Our Lord knew as well as we know that many widowed mothers had lost their sons, that many loving sisters had lest their brothers ; but by the grave of Lazarus, the sorrow of Martha and Mary was to Him the one paramount sorrow ; when He felt that deep helpful pity for the widow of Nain, He let her feel that her heart- breaking woe was to Him as it was to her ; and it is because of this that we all go to Him so importunately, so resolutely in our griefs— no " perhaps," but we know that He lets us say, " I am miserable, I am cold, I am tired, lam comfortless," and He does not reply, " Yes, so are most of you." He does rot send us back shiver- ing. In the very moment of our cry He makes us the one especial sheep that He has gone to seek, and stretches out His warm friend- hands to us, " Come unto Me, I will refresh you." " Certainly, I will be with thee. TADDY'S HIGH- CLASS TOBACCOS. ALL SMOKERS SHOULD TRY TADDY'S UNRIVALLED MYRTLE GROVE, Delicious, Cool Smoking.
