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. CAUTION.

A party of children are preparing for their morning walk. I hear a call, " I am ready," and then an eager voice replying, " I am ready, too ; we are all ready." A question came into my mind, Was that child's reply correct ? Are we really all ready 1 All ready to bear disappointments 1 All ready to help the weak ? All ready to accept our appointed burden, and to carry it loyally ? All ready to believe that what our Father does is best 1 All ready to believe that hardest of all articles of faith, so essentially necessary to our happiness, that God does take into account our individual little mortal hopes, fears, longings, trials, vexations, and has sympathy to spare for all 1 I do not speak for others. I answer for myself. Half the time I am not ready at all ! I confess the word seems to me too often used in connection with death. Many a one talks of being ready to die, who is not at all ready to die unto sin, and yet that is what God calls us to. He would have us ready to live— as faithful soldiers, faithful servants, faithful stewards, faithful followers. When we live apart from Christ we are dead while we live; but when we can say, " We are all ready," alive in Christ, we find our Father's kingdom is the kingdom of the living. We have to be ready to do many things—" ready to dis- tribute," ready to " open the door " to him who knocks, ready to say " Thy will be done," ready to receive the Spirit of Truth when He is sent unto us. It seems a long list and a difficult one ; but St. Paul says, " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Without Christ— nothing ; with Christ— everything He is " ready to pardon " ( Neh. ix. 17), " ready to forgive " ( Ps. lxxxvi. 5), " ready to save me ' ( Isaiah xxxviii. 20). " Be ye therefore ready also, for the Son of Man cometh at an hour that ye think not. . . . Blessed is that servant whom He shall find so doing." G. S.
