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 BO.

He " calleth His own sheep by name." We never call a man a farmer unless he is a farmer ; so likewise when God calls us by a name, it is because we are that which He calls us. The names He has given us will tell us what we are. Let us see some of the names, that we may learn to know what we really are in His sight. 1. He calls us His children. " For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesua." Let us be children then, and live as children do, in the present moment, without taking thought for to- morrow. 2. He calls us His heirs. " If children, then heirs ; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ." Let us be heirs then in the sense of entering into possession of our inheritance. An earthly heir may be amazed at his good fortune, or may feel himself to be utterly unworthy of it, but nevertheless, if he is the heir, he takes possession of his inheritance; and we, who are declared to be the heirs of God, must do the same. 3. He calls us His friends. " Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth, but I have called you friends." Let us be His friends then in the best that we know of friendship. Let us trust Him, lean on Him, try to please Him, and, moreover, recognise the blessed fact, that if we are His friends, He is necessarily our friend also, and that the duties and responsibili- ties of friendship are upon His shoulders as well as upon ours. " There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." " I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." He will tell us His secrets. And He Himself has told us how to become His friends. " Ye are My friends if ye do whatsoever I command you." 4. He calls us His brethren. Let us be His brethren then, and take to our hearts the comfort and joy of having such an " Elder Brother " to bear our burdens and share our sorrows. " He is not ashamed to call them brethren " " that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." { To be continued.) H. W. S. FROST I FROST I PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS!
