Isa. lxiii 9 1. "And the Lord said unto Moses Yet will I bring; one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterwards he will let, you go hence." The Lime had come to deliver Israel from Egypt according to }Ls pro- mise to Abraham (Gen, xv, 11). Mose e and'Aaron are sent first to the elders of Israel to show by the signs God had commanded that they are His accredited agents in Israel's de- liverance, The people believed and worshiped when they heard that God was about to deliver them (iv, 29-3,1). Moses and Aaron are then sent to Pharaoh with tlie message from the Lord, "Israel is My son, My firstborn, and I say unto thee, let My son go that he may serve Me, and if thou refuse to let him go, be- hold. I will slay thy son, thy first- born," Pharaoh's reply was "I know not the Lorci, neither wilt I let Israel go" (iv. 22, 23; v, 2). He ordered Moses and Aaron to go to work, and he greatly increased the tasks of Israel, so that they cried agaiust Moses and Aaron, and Moses cried to the Lord, who then said, "Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh." And repeated with, great emphasis His assurance that He would now deliver Israel (vi, 1-8) Note especially the seven "I wills" of verses 0-8, beginning and ending with "I am the Lord." This "yet one plague" of our lesson was the only one of which God spoke to Pharaoh (iv. 23), but He is so long suffering that He sends first nine otters, if perchance Pharaoh will repent and prevent the necessity of this last terrible one, He sent blood, frogs, lice, flies, murrain, boils, hail, locusts and darkness (vie to x), but Pharaoh only hardened his heart (iv, 21; vii, 3, 13, I& 22: vile. 15, 19, 32; ix, 7, 12, 34, 35; x, 1, 20, 27; xi, 10) until this last one had to come before lie would let Israel go. He offered to let them go if they would not go far, but stay in the land. Then he offered to let the men go, but not the children. Then he offered to let old and young go, but not floctrs and, herds. But not till after this last plague was be willing to let all go, as the Lord demanded (viii, 25; x 11, 21; xii, 31, 32). The whole record is suggestive of tho way satan holds oir to those whom tho Lord would redeem, and also those whom He has redeemed, hindering theini from full consecration to God. behalf of Israel (der. xv, 1; Ezek. "not an hoof must be left behind" (x, 26). WO must be wholly set apart for Himself (Ps. iv, 3; Titus ii, 11, R.V.) 2, 3. God had said to Abram that when his seed should leave their house .of bondage they would. come out with great substance (Gen. xv, 11). The word "borrotv" M this passage, and also in itt, 21, 22; xii, 35, 36, should be "ask" or "de- mand" (see R. V.), for the Israelites had long -served the Egyptians and had a right to some recompense. To borrow with no intention to return the thing borrowed is simply to steal, and God could not authorize that which He had forbidden or was about to forbid (xx 15). God never tegepts any one to sin (Jas. i, 13, 14), much less commands it. 1.-7, "That ye may know that the Lord cloth put a, difference • between the Egyptians and Israel." The aw- ful night drew nigh when, because of Pharaoh's sin, there was to be one dead, the first-born, in all Egyptian homes from the palace of the king to the home of, the, humblest peas- ant. Cattle also were to suffer in like manner, but no obedient Israel- ite would suffer, and the difference would be manifest' to all. It came to "pass just' as God saide(xii, 29, 30) and Pharaoh and the Egyptians thrust Israel out (xii, 31-33. When the plagues preceding this one came upon Lhe Egyptians,- Israel suffered. not (viii, 22; ix, 4, 26),, and God said to Pharaoh, "I will put a re- demption between ruy people and thy people" (viii, 23, margin). The greae . difference between people on earth in the sight: of God is not wealth or poverty, education or it, noranco, culture or the lack or it, but redemption. S. After the plague of darkness and Pharaoh's heare was still further hardened he, said to illoses: "Get thee from me, 'Take need of thyself. Seo my face no more," And Moses replied: nThon hast spoken well. I will sec thy face again no more" (x, 28, 29).e Thern comes a last time W10&1 mercy ceases to be gracious. 'The heart has become increasingly hardened, and it wants only its own way of death, • and God gives it up, saying: "Because I ha-ve called and ye refused 1 will also laugh at your calamity. 1 will meek when your fear conieth- (Pi'�v 1, 24-27),He I had to say as Israel increased in sin that though , Moses and Samuel or Noah, Daniel and Job stood before Him yet He could net heal.'

Phar- aoh hardened his heart as well as that the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart. God commanded Pharaoh to let His people go, but. He knew the perversity of His heart, that he would not let themt go till compelled to, though he might have done so if he had chosen. By his disobedience he hardened his heart still more. All that, God did toward the hardening was to lay upon him a command which he saw fit to disobey. PROPER FEEDING OF PORK. Important Conclusions Arrived at by Mr. Shutt. The DepartMent of Agriculture has issued a bulletin giving the details of an investigation made by Mr. Frank Shutt, chemist, Dominion Experi- mental Farm, into.the character and causes • of soft pork. Seeing that Canada last year received from Eng - 1110(1 more than $12,000,000 for bacon, it is obvious that the bacon export trade is of great importance to this country. Among the quali- ties necessary for first-class bacon in England, none is of greater import- ance than firmness, A tendency to softness or tenderness --Is quite suffi- cient to rate the bacon at second- class prices, and if this softness is at cal pronounced, to make it alto- gether unsaleable at a profit. Among the more important conclusions at which Mr. Shutt arrives as a result of .his investigation are the follow- ing :—That the one great controlling factor in the quality of the pork of finished pigs lies in the character of the food employed. That Indian cora and beans tend to softness, viz., to increase tho percentage of olein in the fat. If these grains are used they must be fed judiciously if first-class firm pork is to be produced. If fed in conjunction with skim milk, it has been shown that a considerable pro- portion of Indian corn may be used in the grain ration without injuring the quality of the pork. That a grain ration consisting of a mixture of oats, peas and barley in equal parts gives a firm pork of excellent quality. That skim milk not only •tends to thriftiness and rapid growth but counteracts in a very marked manner any tendency to softness. That rape, pumpkins, artichokes, sugar beets, turnips and mangels can be fed in conjunction with a good ration without injuring the quality of the pork. That the fat of very young pigs and animals of unthrifty growth is softer than that of finish- ed pigs that have increased steadily to the finishing" weight. PLEASE SCRAWL HERE I Plan. Adopted for Preserving a Granite Globe. One of the great problems of Eng- land is how to preserve the "show places" from those vandals among 'the- sightseers who delight in scrawl- ing their names upon objects of pub- lic interest, and thus defacing them. 13ut a very good solution of this pro- blem is to be found in • it. pleasant little village called Swanage, in the south of Dorset. There, some years ago, among many other things, a Mr. Burt, who from a humble quarryman rose to be- come one of the Sheriffs of Lon- don, built, a huge granite globe one hundred and nntrteen feet above the sea, atet just a little way outside the town. It is 9c perfect atlas, with the lend part "rais.ed," like a bas-relief, and almot the alcove in the cliff in which. it stands a wall. of marble slabs is arranged, with texts relat- ing to the universe by famous poets carved on them. • Naturally Mr. Burt, knowing the ways of some people, did not relish the idea of having the globe or these tablets scrawled upon, so he e erected two additional slabs apart, looking just like a couple of plain tomb- stones, and these bear the following invitation : "People desirous of writing their names, please do so here." • The hint seems to Inore had the de- sired effect, for though thete is some Writing on these stones, the globe, and the tablets hearing the inscrip- tions, ave quite -untouched, A Mil/NIG HT REG A TTA.

Chicken.—To-day the Intelli- gent cook knows sne"naust let her chicken, even if it is a genuine spring chicken, hitng until the muscles have relaxed, about 1.2 or 21 hours after the chicken is killed. In old times, before the cloys when refrigerators were a ,common part of the kitchen outfit,, it wa.s impossible to keep a cbicken until it, was in the best condition for cooking. The prejudice against the animal heat is purely a sentimental one, The ehicken which is transferred thus hastily from the farmyard flock to the frying pan is sire to be delicious, tender and per- fect in flavor. It has encountered none of the contaminations of mar- ket poultry, the muscles have not hardened, and it has lost none of its juices in waiting for the muscles to , relax. It is impossible to pre- pare chicken in this way unless from your own flock. Pick the chicken as SOon as it is killed. Singe it, re- move rthe oil bag, draw it carefully anti cut .it into pieces. While the pieces are still warm, season them, dip them into a batter made 01 (110 yolk of an egg beaten with a little mill:, and season, like the chicken, with salt and pepper. Some eersons like a drop or two of onion juiee in the batter. Roll the piecea of chick- en in sifted breadcrumbs, and fry it in hot fat—enough to cover them and brown them in eight miraite.s. Each piece of chicken shoulct be flattened by gining it a sharp blow or two with a mallet on a 'block nr board of wood, before it is COVOITC1 with egg and breacicrunibs.
