ed. Basilio into the empty saddle.
“He’s safe up there,” he assured
her, “My Man likes children.”
‘ The hoof-beat of a hor^e being
driven at- furious speed interrupted
them. Mercedes got to her -feet and
took Basilio out of the saddle.
“This will be my brother, Esteban.”
The oncoming horse splashed
through the - water, covering them
with a mist of silver spray. On his
back sat Esteban, a thin, wiry, nar
rowhipped youth. He leaped to the
ground and, staring inimically at
Blaze, launched into a triads of ex
citable Spanish. The girl saw that
he was upset and tried to restrain
him.
“Callar!” she cried. “Hush! Have
.you gone mad?”
Blaze had a fair smattering of
Spanish and' of the universally un
derstood Mexican idioms which tli$
Basques have adopted, but he was
unable to follow the rapid words Es-
■teban continued to shower upon his
sister. He- did catch the reiterated
elagua (water), and ’cequia madre
(mother-ditch). It meant only one
-thing. The Basques did suspect their
flanger.
When, her brother had finished,
Mercedes tried to tell him that Blaze
was a stranger and to explain how
he had helped .Basilio and her. Es-
•ieban thanked Blaze with some Show
of gratitude. He swung into his
saddle and .caught the child up be-
. side him. Mercedes got on Captain’s

Blaze and Melody exchanged
glances.

shot back. “I didn’t know I was

chil-
that
pro-Most people, including many
fessing Christians, have confused or
mistaken ideas on the Fatherhood of
God. It is a popular subject be
cause of the mistakes that are so
popular in connection with it. The
wildest views and teachings, in poli
tics,* sociology and religion, have
much to say about the Fatherhood
of, God. ’Almost every false pro
phet in any realm of life bases his
propaganda on some aspect of the
alleged Fatherhood of God. There
fore, it is of the greatest importance
that we understand what tfie Word
of God teaches about this, and what
it does not teach.
The ten different chapters of the
Bible from which the lesson pas
sages are taken tell us about the
characteristics of the Heavenly Fa
ther; His attitude 'toward righteous
ness and toward sin; His love and
grace and mercy and forgiveness;
His infinite wisdom and understand
standing and strength; His holy
jealousy; His tender thoughtfulness
the severity of His judgment; His
holy wath against sin; His perfect
love, because He is love.
The lesson passages also tell us
what those who are God’s children
may count upon from Him.' They
tell us that not all men are children
of Gocl, nor is He the Father of all
men. We are told how one can be
come a child of God, and thus be
entitled to call Him Father. They
tell us the doom of those who are
not God’s children, and the rich in
heritance of those who are. Finally

Sea Discovered’German Ace Met With Gmewteffle
Experience.
It must have been a weirt. and
gruesome experience to meet an airplane coursing through the upper air
manned only hy dead men. That
really happened during the World
War, according to Baroh Richthofen,
the great German ace, whose dramas
tice story is told by Floyd Gibbons
in “The Red Knight of Germany,”
One afteynoon when Richthofen
and his squadron were appicaching
a small bank of clouds, a British two-
seater with motor full on emerged
from the clouds and flew straight for
thetcentre of the German V' but with
out flring a single shot. Boeicke,
the German squadron leader, dived
to a position over the tall ar.cl press-
ed the machine gun trigger. From
above and below he saw his bullets
go into the bodies of both the pilot
and the observer who were sitting
bolt upright in their cockpin. Still
there was no return fire from the
British plane, no deviation in its
course, no attempt to shake off its
pursuers. The German ace was puz
zled. Gradually he flew directly over
it. Banking his wings slightly to de
press one side of the fuselage, he
peered down into the two cockpits of
the British plane and into the blood
stained faces of two dead men sitting
rigidly strapped to their seats. The
plane was a derelict of the air.
Death had placed its controls in
neutral holding it to an even keel as
it sped onward across the sky, its
motor roafing from a wide-open
throttle. Boelcke flew some minutes
above the derelict, escorting it like
a funeral plane is it flew westward
with the bodies of its air Vikings on
their last flight. Before changing
course to return he dipped his wings
in a final salute to the dead.
RALPH CONNOR
Ralph Connor, the well known:
Canadian novelist, collected recent
ly from,a half-breed voyageur in
the Canadian Northwest a highly
interesting folksong which will be.
sung at the Vancouver Sea Musie
Festival next January by Ulysse
Paquin, of Montreal. This song
is half French, half English, the
first part being the story of a ha
bitant Colin while the chorus is an
English, sea chanty, “Blow, ye
winds of morning”. This bi-ling-
ual song appears to have been pop
ular many years ago at a time
when white pine was exported, in
large quantities on the old sailing
ships from Quebec which carried
overseas the logs rafted down the
St. Lawrence from the Ottawa
River. The word ’chanty’ is con
sidered by some authorities as con*
nected with the ‘shanties’ of the
Quebec lumberjacks who frequent
ly were sailors as well as woods
men and always sang at their
work. According to Ralph Connor,
the half-breed or metis froah whom
he recorded this song was a hand-
some chap with beautiful voice and '
manners and was a first-class,
eanoeman. A number of purely
French Canadian chanteys as well
will be sung by Ulysse Paquin, at
Vancouver, as rhe intention is to
make this Sea Music Festival as-
Canadian as possible.

Jeru-

For
Isaiah heaps up the glorious de
clarations concerning the Father:
“There is no searching of His under
standing,” and there Is no limit to
His strength and power. Therefore
“they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength.” Let us no
tice that this promise Is limited to
“those who wait upon the Lord.”
There is no promise of
from God to those who
wait upon Him.
The fuller revelation of
venly Father is given in
Testament, but there is never the
slightest contradiction between the
New and the .Old. Tlie Heavenly
Father requires undivided love: “No
man can serve two masters. Ye
cannot serve God. and mammon.”
But those who give God first place
find that He cares for them as only
God can care; He provides as only a
Heavenly Father can provide.
There is no “universal Fatherhood
of God,” but God’s love is universal
in that it is offered to all who will
receive it. After Christ’s
men did not need to come to
salem to find God, for “the
worshippers shall

This Gospel of John,
Glares some searching,
things about God and men. Certain
Jewish religious, leaders, who were
the enemies of Christ, said to Him
pi'oudiy, “We have on? Father, even
God.” Christ’s startling answer
“Ye are of your fathei* the devil, and
the lusts of your father ye will do,”
Not all men are children of God
T-the Son of God says so. He says
also, “If God were your Father, ye
would love Me.” Only those are the
children of God who have received
Christ as His Son and their Saviour.
And the only way to become a child
of God is to be born into the family
of God, for “Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom
of God.’’

ing of their cry,. made possible by
“the spirit of adoption whereby we
cry Abba, Father,” is known only to
those who can utter it.
One great climax of having God
as Father is that the very love of
the Heavenly Father is created in
our hearts. This is brought out by
John, the apostle of love: “Every
one that loveth is born of God, and

all in our .Sunday school class, are
indeed children of God, and that He
is our Heavenly Father?

A Terrific Battle.
The wash and the hornet may be
reckoned as formidable foes, but It
would appear that the spider, for his
size and weight, at least, is equal to
anything he may come across. In a
recent experiment a spider was pitted
against a wasp in an inverted
tumbler.
The wasp scored the first point,
biting off one of its opponent’s legs;
in the next round the spider got in an
effective bite, and the wasp died in
minutes. Two other contests
fallowed, and in each the spider came
ofl victorious.
The strong feature of the spider is
its agility, and even in the uncongen
ial environment of a tumbler it
evades attack with apparent ease.
With the added advantage of a web,
which provides not only\lines of re
treat and attack, but alsd serves to
entangle and emjbarrass the enemy, the spider is a foeman whom \ven the
boldest spirits in the insect \wcrtd
would hesitate to attack.
1 Caused Actors to Sneeze'."■■ -'M-'j’’
When tire curtain rose for the first
act of the performance at the towh
theatre at Weissenfels, the audltmce
noticed that the actors on the stage
seemed to have bad colds. They all
sneezed so volently that they could
hardly say their lines, and y,matters
were made worse when thy' favorite
actress of the town swept/on to the
stage and joined in the() chorus of
sneezing. }
The audience rocked r^ith laughter
while the company on the stage
struggled to control themselves and
get on the play. It was all ix* vain,
and the curtain had to be lowered.
Before it was raised again it had
to be brushed and squirted with wat
er to get off the sneezing powder
which some practical joker had put
on it so that, as it rose, a cloud of
powder should spread on the stage
and set the actors sneezing.

almonds.
