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 pa ty." " 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."

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL ! " In the beginning, God." So begins our Bible, so let us begin 1888. Those are Ood's first woids to us ; and three times in the Revelation we find Him repeating " I am the beginning." Let us think about this a little. God is the beginning of creation, and Peter urges us to commit the keeping of our souls to Him " as unto a faithful Crfator " ; as if he would remind us that if it were only as Creator, God is faithful. But far behind the beginning of Creation lies the beginning of Redemption, and here " in the beginning, God," " who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world." We read of the Grace of God, the righteousness of God, the strength of God, the peace of God, and many other provisions by the way, each and every step being " in the beginning, God." If He be at the beginning, He will be at the end, and can we imagine He will be at the beginning and at the end, and not in the middle? If He is everything to us on the day of our conversion, and if He is everything to us on the day of our death, is He not to be everything to us to day and to- morrow, and the day after to- morrow ? Our Lord Jesus said, " Lo ! I am with you alway." " All the days," all the different kinds of days that make up our lives. Let us apply- this to the details of life. In every joy we may experience, in every trial that com _ JS to UP, in every work to be undertaken, in every decision to be made in 1888, let it be " in the beginning, God." If we would make sure of consulting Him about important things, let us consult Him about everything. I must close with two versis which strike me as specially appropriate for New Year's Day verses :— " Upon the first day of the first month began he to go up. . . . according to the good Hand of his Co l upon him."— Ezra vii. 9. " Day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God."— Neh. viii. 18. On ward ! Upward ! ! Heavenward !! ! FROST I ZETIROSTI PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS!
