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 hound 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.

" Now once. . . . hath He appeared, to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." '• The Blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanseth us from 11 sin." If a man has lived fifty years, and only committed three sins per day all that time— one in thought, one in word, one in deed— he will have committed fifty- four thousand seven hundred and fifty sins. Who is there that that can say, " I have not done so?" If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Each person that breathes on this earth is a sinner, coming under the condemnation of God, and deserves the death penalty, There is one sin that rises up before God that outweighs all the 54,750 sins. That one sin is the rejection of His Ton, the provided substitute for all sins and sinners. Commit this one sin and all the rest cannot be atoned for. Accept God's message of love— the good news of salvation through the atoning werk of Christ — then all the rest, even though they were ten times that number, are washed away like figures on a slate are with a wet sponge. For God pardoneth iniquity, transgression, and sin ; covers it with the mantle of His forgiving love, and will not remember it any more for ever. Commit the one sin, all the rest remain, to heap up wrath against the day of wrath. Accept Christ Jesu3 and His atoning substitution, each one is passed away, for " there is now no condemnation to them that are in Cnrist Jesus. What is Christ to you Ring or Usurper 1 What is Christ to you 1 - Friend or Stranger 1 What is Christ to you 1- Saviour or Judge ? There is nothing like a plain answer to a plain question.
