NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration - was signed in London on the 2lst 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." The result of the modification in the Treaty is that either Government may deliver up its own subjects to the other Government, but can not be considered bound to do so. £ 125 REWARD. i.— Whereas, ARCHIBALD REED, a river watcher in the employ of the Tiverton Fishing Association, was brutally murdered during the night of Friday, the 29th of July last, on the bank of the River Exe, near Colli- priest.

" One stitch dropped as the weaver drove His nimble shuttle to and fro, In and out, beneath, above, Till the pattern seemed to bud and grow, As if the fairies had helping been. One small stitch which coukl scarco be seen ; But the one stitched dropped pulled the next stitch out, And a weak place grew in the fabric stout; And the perfect pattern was marred for aye By the one small stitch that was dropped that day. " One small life in God's great plan, How futile it seems as the ages roll; Do what it may, or strive how it can, To alter the sweep of the infinite whole ! A single stitch in an endless web ; A drop in the ocean's flow and ebb ! But the pattern is rent where the stitch is lost, Or marred where the tangled threads have crossed ; And each life that fails of its true intent Mars the perfect plan that its Master meant." As I read these verses, I felt I should like to pass them on to you. Others may feel, as I have done, oppressed, depressed at the insignificance, the monotony of life, and these words may give us all a lifting up. Yes ; each stitch in God's great handiwork has its value. Each one of us He purposed to create in His own image. Each one He purposes to restore to that image, therefore for each one He gave His only Son to die; therefore He loves, watches over, cares for, teaches each one_; therefore He trains and appoints " to every man his work." In the light of His purpose nothing is insignificant, nothing is monotonous. " Who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord ? " " Be strong and do it.
