and profane, go far away from these sacrifices." With how much greater reverence should we approach our God, who cannot look upon sin, and who can receive us only through Him who was “holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners.' 229. Christ is our High Priest, (ver.1-13.)-A little boy desirous of seeing Queen Victoria, determined to go direct to the castle where she was residing, and ask to see her. He was stopped at the gate by the sentry, who demanded what he wanted. "I want to see the Queen," he replied. But the sentry roughly ordered him off. He went away crying, but shortly after was met by the Prince of Wales, who inquired what the matter was. On learning his story the Prince said, "Then come along with me, and I'll take you to the Queen." He accordingly took the little fellow by the hand, and brought him to her Majesty. When the Queen was informed of what had taken place, she spoke kindly to her little visitor, and when he left presented him with a piece of money. As the Prince presented the boy to the Queen, so Christ presents us to His Father. LESSON 127.-THE SCAPE GOAT.-Leviticus xvi. 5-22. 230. Christ has Suffered for Us, (ver. 5-22.)-Some children were lately asked whether they had begun to love the Saviour. One little boy answered, "Yes." He was then asked when he had begun to love Him. He replied, "Since the time that my mother was stung with the wasp.' On being asked to explain what the wasp had to do with it, he said that one day while he was playing, a wasp had come buzzing about him, and that, in his fright, he had run into the house to his mother. The wasp still pursuing him, his mother covered him with her apron, and he was safe. But his mother was stung in the arm; and as he looked at the swelling arm, his mother explained that Jesus did not wish to see little children suffer, and in order to save them had suffered in their stead, had given up His life for their sakes. The lesson taught by the mother had told upon the boy. He now loved the Saviour who had suffered so much for him; and dated his love from the time that his mother was stung with the wasp. 231. Jesus is the Only Saviour. "It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins," (ver. 5-22.)—Not long since a young Jewess was passing the door of a church in England. She was attracted by the sound of music, and went into the porch to listen. The minister gave out the lines:"Not all the blood of beasts She was surprised to place of worship, and On Jewish altars slain, Can give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain." hear mention made of "Jewish altars" in a Christian waited on till the next lines of the hymn were read out:"But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away: A sacrifice of nobler name, She was more than ever startled and interested, for she felt that there was something here she needed, but had never known; and so she continued to listen while the minister read and the congregation sang the rest of the hymu. She returned home. But the truth had taken hold of her heart. She sought the companionship of a Christian lady; and when dying, she made an effort to repeat another verse of the hymn that had so deeply impressed her : Here her voice failed. "Believing, we rejoice To see our guilt remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, In a few minutes she breathed her last, and went to complete before the throne the song she had begun, "and sing His bleeding love."

WE solicit the attention of Subscribers and several Societies to the loss and inconvenience caused by many not taking their usual supply of the July and August numbers of the Magazine, on account of their schools being vacant during the summer months. It would be a favour to the Publication Committee if Superintendents would arrange to keep their Teachers supplied continuously. Teachers who bind their Magazine often apply for these months' numbers when they are out of print; but the Committee cannot undertake to print and keep in stock, for any length of time, more copies than are certain to be wanted." THE Forty-Eighth Annual Report of the Glasgow Sabbath School Union is now published. It contains a statement of the work carried on by the Directors during the past year, with the Statistical Tables of all the City and Suburban Unions; and these comprise the Reports of the various Sabbath School Societies. Tables of the affiliated Unions and Schools in other districts are also given. Copies of the Report have been sent to the Secretaries and Superintendents of all the Societies, and to the Clergymen of the City and suburbs. Any Teacher or Sabbath School friend will be supplied with a copy on making application for it at the Union's Rooms, 70 Bothwell Street, or by sending to the Secretaries a postal wrapper for its transmission. AFFILIATION of SCHOOLS to the GLASGOW SABBATH SCHOOL UNION. SUPERINTENDENTS of Schools situated in towns or villages, where no District or Local Unions exist, may have their Schools affiliated to the Glasgow Union by making application to the Secretaries, 70 Bothwell Street, who will supply the Statistical Schedule necessary to be filled up for this purpose. Such a connection is necessary to enable Schools and Teachers in the country to participate in many of the benefits which the Union is able to confer.
