SCHEME FOR FUNDING DEBT.

STATEMENT BY CLEMENTEL. (Reuter's Service.)

The Apostle when he says." Lot s therefore cast of the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light," uses the expecta tion of Christ's coming as an argument for wakefulness and

The Christian ought to be characterised, by liveliness, but he is very apt to let torpor get the better of him.

Because the night is far spent and the day is at hand, we are bidden to cast off the works of: darkness and to put on the armour of light. The exhortation, though in two parts is one and the same. The apostle gives, both its negative and its positive side.

MITIENNE CLEMENTAL

Clementel, Minister of Finance, re- plied that hitherto there had only been cpversations between M. Jusserand, French Ambassador,

To-morrow is Advent Sunday, the first Sunday in the Church! Year, Its keynote is struck by the Epistle (of which the Collect is an echo). "The night is far spent, the day is at hand, let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light." The call is to awakening out of sin, carelessness or unbelief, in the sense that the dawn of the Second Advent is now a year nearer to each of us and it is to be noted that the Com- ing of Our Lord, recorded in the Gospel was neither His First Coming, nor Last Coming, to His own city, and that it accordingly seems, to represent His frequent coming to us at special seasons of the present life. Behold! I stand at the door and knock."..
