EXTRADITION. as 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 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 surrtnder their own subjects whether by birth or naturalisation."

WILLING' 8. 125, STRAND, LONDON, W. C. Telegraph Address—" Willing'sLondon- Telephone No. 2,773. THE UNOPENED LETTER. A young man, belonging to a very good family, took up with very bad ways. At last he was driven, from sheer shame, from home, enlisted, and went to India. For a long time the parents knew not what had become of him. At last they heard, and the father wrote as follows—" My dear Son— Come home at once; we freely forgive all. I send out money to a friend at Calcutta to buy you out of the ranks, and to bring you home. Come at once. We will give you a hearty welcome home.— Your loving Father." This letter reachedjsafely enough, but the young man never opened it. He knew his father's handwriting, his conscience told him what he deserved ; he would not look at it. Farther and farther into sin did he go— at last came the end of his tether. In hospital he asked for this letter, and opening it found all that had been so long waiting for his acceptance— for- giveness, liberty, restoration, provision, welcome, love. But alas! the time for laying hold of these blessings had passed— he was dying. You say, " the man must have been a fool. How did he know 1 He might have looked, at any rate." Now, God's letter to you is the Bible, and perhaps you— certainly a great many — are treating God's letter to them in just as foolish a way. Many will not look into their Bibles at all. They know well enough they ought to find their con- demnation there— they think they will find some check on the way in which they want to go. They cannot imagine that The One they have offended should be The One to write kindly to them, to provide for them, to think out everything lovingly for them. You have a Bible— do not leave it unopened any loDger. Just make the experiment to see what it really contains, and if you cannot find in it all that there was in this young man's letter, then I will not ask you to read it any more; but, if you can, " come home," " come home." God has written to you ; do not any longer keep by you The Unopened Letter. REV. P. POWER.
