IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The. Editor desires to call attention to the fact that all photographs of prisoners in custody, transmitted to the Director of Criminal Investigations, for purposes of identification are seen by the police or warders who visit all prisoners under remand, in the Metropolitan Police District three times a week. This system, esta- blished in 1879, has been the means of ascertaining the previous convictions of 7000 prisoners, and affords great facilities to Chief Officers of Police, and the Governors of Her Majesty's Prisons. Such photographs are also compared with the albums in the Convict Office con- taining the portraits of all Convicts liberated in the Kingdom, which are further open to the personal examination of any police officer or warder.

ARE ¥ 011 31 THE RIGHT TRAIN ? WHI€ M CLASS ARE YOU TRAVELLING ? " All true believers are certain to be saved— there is no question as to their security ; they are all in the train, and they are all certain to reach the Terminus of Heaven ; but some travel Third Class, some Second Class, and some First Class."— SPUKGEON. I thought that was very true. Who are the Third Class passengers t They are those who might thus speak : " What time I am afraid, I will doubt"— splendid faith when it is not wanted— marvellously strong when there is no tension brought to bear upon it, but when a little cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, appears in the sky— then what time they are afraid they begin to doubt. They are in the train, but they have many jolts, and are not at all comfort- able. Who are the Second Class passengers? They may be compared to David, when he wrote, " What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee ;" far better than the other. It is not the highest experience, yet still there is a soft pad at his back—" I will trust." But what I covet is the privilege of being a First Class passenger ; ' like Isaiah when he wrote, " Behold, God is my, Salvation; I will trust and NOT be afraid." It is a good thing to be able to say, " What time I am afraid, I will trust," but it is a grand thing to be able to say, " I will trust and not be afraid."— A. BROWN.
