the thoughts of the resurrection of the dead, Christ's future judgment of mankind, and eternal life? When he said that all Israel is to be ultimately saved, is it possible that he only meant to say that every individual of the generations of Israel who shall live in the last times shall be saved, but that for the generations who have rejected Christ there is no hope? The rejection of Christ by his fellowIsraelites, he tells us, caused him "great sorrow and unceasing pain in his heart" (ix. 1); and for this was there no cure or consolation except in the thought of a salvation in the indefinitely remote future, from which they were to be excluded whom he knew on earth,-his kinsfolk, his playmates at Tarsus, his fellow-students at Jerusalem? Were these to remain under the wrath of God for ever? His words are inconsistent with such a belief. He asserts that the Israelites who have rejected Christ are to receive mercy at last. "Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid" (xi. 11). "As ye (Gentiles) in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shewn to you they also may now obtain mercy" (xi. 31). But what of unbelieving Gentiles? The answer as to Gentiles is the same as the answer as to Jews. If salvation is universal for the one, it is universal for the other; St. Paul preached to the Gentiles a Gospel in which the principle of nationality was expressly abandoned (see the entire Epistle to Galatians). In the eternal world all such distinctions disappear, and "the Gentiles are fellow-heirs " (Eph. iii. 6). Had not St. Paul believed in the final salvation of all, it appears scarcely possible that he could have ended his meditation on the fate of the historical Israel with the burst of triumph and praise which concludes the 11th Chapter; nor could he have said that "God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all " (xi. 32), if he had believed that the disobedience and sin were universal and the mercy only partial. Nor do these words yield any consistent meaning, if we understand by them that God has shut up all the men of one generation unto disobedience, in order that He may have mercy on all those of another generation. Finally, St. Paul says in the concluding verse of the chapter, that unto God are all things; that is to say, all God's creatures, however far they may have wandered from Him, shall be brought back in the fulness of time, when God shall be all in all (1 Cor. xv. 28). Rejection is but for a time, and election is not to a place in a kingdom from which others are to be for ever shut out; election means being chosen by God to be brought into his kingdom before the rest, and to be thereby a means of blessing to the rest. Abraham was chosen of God, not to any exclusive or selfish privilege, but that in him all the nations of the earth should be blessed. Moses was chosen that he might deliver his brethren out of Egypt. And Christ, the chief among God's chosen (Isa. xlii. 1), came into the world that He might return to his Father, saying, “Behold, I and the children which God hath given me (Isa. viii. 18; Heb. ii. 13.). The teaching of the 11th Chapter of Romans is that the elect and the rejected of the present dispensation are alike working, whether consciously or unconsciously, towards the realization of God's ultimate purpose of good to all. For much of what is in the foregoing, I have to express my obligation to Archbishop Whateley's Difficulties of St. Paul, and to the Rev. W. A. O'Connor's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans.

COUGHS, COLDS DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.-Dr. J. C. BROWNE (late Army Medical Staff) DISCOVERED a REMEDY, to denote which he coined the word CHLORODYNE. Dr. Browne is the SOLE INVENTOR, and, as the composition of Chlorodyne cannot possibly be discovered by Analysis (organic substances defying elimination), and since the formula has never been published, it is evident that any statement to the effect that a compound is identical with Dr. Browne's Chlorodyne must be false. This Caution is necessary, as many persons deceive purchasers by false representations. DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE. Vice Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD, STATED PUBLICLY in Court that Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE was UNDOUBTEDLY the INVENTOR of CHLORODYNE, that the whole story of the defendant Freeman was deliberately untrue, and he regretted to say it had been sworn to.-See The Times, July 13th, 1864. IS THE GREAT SPECIFIC FOR DIARRHOEA, CHOLERA, DYSENTERY. ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE. Dr. GIBBON, Army Medical Staff, Calcutta, states: "TWO DOSES COMPLETELY CURED ME of DIARRHOEA."

DEAR SIR,-We congratulate you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself all over the East. As a remedy of general We and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best; and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and to the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike. We are, Sir, faithfully yours, SYMES & CO., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists. DR. J.
