EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE.

TOKYO, November 23, |- The Government proposal for a settlement of the Jong-pending insurance issue purports to be a two per cent. loan to the insurance companies, amounting to the equivalent of ten per cent. of the claims against the companies will pay.

"We will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stub- bornness of his evil beart." And since king and nation refused to listen to his call to repentance, the prophet was told by God with an emphasis equally clear and equally final, that for his day, at any rate, there could be no longer any hope. Pray not then for this people, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear."

A considerable business has been done in Brocades, but we understand that for further busi- ness home ptices and shipments are prohibitive. Some sales of blacks and Blankets are also men- tioned.

Cotton Yarn-No sales to report and prices are unchanged

A limited business bas been effected at advanced rates from $6/8 per bale. Latterly the dealers ceased buying and clearances have fallen off considerably. Prices are much lower than those ruling in the manufacturing centres.

Quotations are: No. 108 $215/225. No. 125 $220/230. No. 16s $225/235.

The point of this passage of Scripture chosen for the Epistle is obvious. The Advent season now so close at hand is the annual rem-i inder of the Church of the new dispensation under which the Christian lives. Through the in- carnation the national dream of the prophet becomes a universal real- ity and the name and motto for the new year which is indelibly stamped upon the Christian's con- ciousness is, indeed, "The Lord our Righteousness."

THE GOSPEL.

The Epistle points forward to the Advent of Christ. The Gospel looks backward over the year, that is passed. For this Sunday is the last Sunday of the Church's Year and the feast of St. Andrew is the Church's New Year's day. As we look back over the past we are bid-|
