= Planning to Reclaim First
Field of Wheat.
The plans for turning the desert
regions of Mesopotamia into an
agricultural paradise are being
pushed by the Turkish government
in spite orf ,its external troubles.
The irrigation scheme, which origi-
nated in the brain of Sir William
Willcocks, will involve the expendi-
ture of $150,000,000 before it is
complete.
The danswhich is to control the
flood waters of the River Euphrates
is under oonstruction by a British
company, and the Turkish govern-
ment is , now anxious to proceed
with the initial'istages of the irriga-
tion` works.
The success of the plan will en-

excited the wonder of Greek <tra-

According to the sometimes vera-

three hundred -fold, and there is no
doubt that at the time of the Greek
historian's visa the delta was the

FROG THE ACOR TO THE OAK
This Is God's Order, This Is Human History
the World Over and the Ages Through
g
Matthew v., 17.—I came not to
destroy but to fulfil.
To acquire something more out of
what we already have is the great
principle enforced by evolution.
Out of 'the chaos of the fire -mist is
evolved the structure of the globe.
In matter, in brute life; in social
institutions, in government, in re'-
ligion, the same method obtains.
Here is the principle of continuity.
The oak develops from the acorn,
the harvest from the planted grain.
Jesus t -he *great Teacher wrought
by this method. He; developed His
new kingdom out of the old, He
did not destroy the Decalogue, but
fulfilled it: He took the Samaritan
woman's crude idea of worship at
Mount Gerizim, and out of that
evolved -'the larger thought of spiri-
tual worship in every place.; The
larger acquisitions of truth and
character must always come from
what we already have. This is
God's order, never destroying the
Past, but out of itevolving the
greater' Present,
THE MORE GLORIOUS NOW.
All progress in truth ' must' be in'
accord with this principle. The
idea of • human 'liberty, slowly but
continuously unfolds in the politi-
cal history of .the world.
is with spiritual truth. So it i i l r ath. ,All
truths, including the truths of re-
ligion, are germinal. A truth is not
a diamond, but a seed.: A11 we ever
know of God and the kingdoms of
ap ritual truth must come from what
we already have, A man should

faith. - A new theology is safe only
r
it is evolved from the old.•,
ids
The same applies to character. A
man ' is disgusted with himself
wants to get away from himself. He
cannot. He must carry up what he
is to be a better manhood. His fol --
lies, mistakes and sins remain a
part of his historic character. Out
of the acorn comes.the oak. Jesus
Christ stands before each of us say-
ing:—``I came not to destroy you,
but to fulfil you." To a man hope-
less, discouraged, who would fain
get away from his past and begin
life all over again,
JESUS CHRIST COMES,
and taking his poor, bruised, bro-
ken, sin cursed nature as it is, re-
constructs it, renews it, redeems it,
always making the new manhood
out of the old.
An eloquent preacher said :—"If
Christ had spoken to farmers. in-
stead of shepherds, I think, instead
of picturing the love that sought
the "wandering .sheep • and brought
it into. the •fold, He,; would have
wonderfully_pictured: the ; love that
found the trampled grain,with all'
its power of life, and buried it in
the rich ground." '
So in Christian work God uses
men as they are, and uses what
they have. The. faithfulman brings
his -little gift, utters, his feeble
word, breathes his earnest prayer,
and .God takes it &s the prophet
took the woman's cruse of oil, and;
multiplies ` it and augments' it in-'
finitely.

upon his -followers? What did he
say about the use of oaths? What
are some of the dangers of profan-
ity1 What did James say about the
control of the tongue? To what did
he compare the tongue? What did
he say about good and evil speech
coming from the some mouth?
Lesson IX.=Hypoesisy and Sin-
cerity.—How • did Jesus say we
should give our alms? Where should
we go for our prayers? What mod-
el prayer did Jesus give ? What are
some of the characteristics of the
Lord's Prayer? What is fasting?
What did Jesus say of those who
did their righteousness to be seen
of men ? What of those who give
and pray and fast in simple sincer-
ity?
Lesson X. -Hearing and Doing.-
How should we bear with the faults
of others? Why is merely hearing
and assenting to Jesus's teachings
not enough?: What more is neces-
sary before 'we can really be Chris-
tians? To what did Jesus
the man who hears his teachings
but does not obey them? To what
does he compare the man who does
obey his commandments ?

call this perhaps baked eggplant.
The aubergine is smaller and more
delicate than our eggplant, but
much like it in appearance and fla-

lent `substitute. Slice and peel this,
after you have parboiled the egg-
plant. Lay the slices in a pudding
