A Prayer for Canada
From ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own Thee Lord.
And, filled with true devotion,
Obey Thy sovereign word.
Our prairies and our mountains,
Forest and fertile field,
Our rivers, lakes and fountains,
To Thee shall tribute yield.
Where error smites with blindness,
Enslaves and leads astray,
Do Thou in loving kindness
Proclaim Thy gospel day,
Till all the tribes and races
That dwell in this fair land,
Adorned with Christian graces,
Within Thy courts shall stand.
Our Saviour King, defend us,
And guide where we should go;
Forth with Thy message send us,
Thy love and light to show;
Till fired with true devotion
Enkindled by Thy word,
From Ocean unto ocean
Our land shall own Thee Lord.

Fact and Imagination.
"What is truth?" four-year-old
Margaret asked earnestly of a loving
friend who rebuked her for not telling
the truth. The friend, by definite
illustration, helped her to understand
the difference between fact and im-
agination, and for several weeks the
child's stories were followed by the
question, "Was I telling the truth that
Wale?" Finally she was able to dis-
tinguish the difference and her imag-
inative stories were introduced by,
"This isn't true but—" "Once upon a
time, etc." So she lived in her make-
believe world joyously increasing a
very valuable mental power, yet being
saved the reproof and punishment too
often meted out to children who are
not understood.

of a little girl who prayed in her own
simple childlike way that the wonder-
ful gift of Imagination might be token
from her because of the scorn and
ridicule with which the teacher of
geography treated her attempt to pic-
ture Arabia, about which she was
studying, instead of merely bounding
the country. "Please, God, help fine
not to see people and animals in
Arabia instead of an old snap on the
wall," she prayed.
Fortunately the little girl's prayer
was not answered and her imagination
developed and was so guided and con-
trolled by a wise and understanding
mother that when the child grew to
womanhood she was able to use that
imagination to write stories which
have brought joy to thousands of
little children.
The Wonderland of Childhood.
The world of imagination is really
the kingdom o; the little child in which
he lives with the companions we
adults choose for him. Let us help
him by telling him of the great heroes
of history and literature, and cease to
acquaint him with the cruel villains
and coarse buffoons of the movies and
the newspaper headlines. During
their early impressionable years, chil-
dren are influenced more by their
imaginary companions than by the
actual children with whom they come
in •contact.
"Let's pretend," the imaginative
child says over and over again. "Yes,
let's pretend," the wise mother ans-
wers, and jokingly may add, "Let's
pretend that we are fairies and that
all the specks of dust are wild animals
for us to chase."
Let us pretend and pretend with the
children, and be thankful with rever-
ent, humble gratitude when we as
grown men and women are allowed
to re-enter the wonderland of child-
hood, living with the little people and
guiding them in their use of this very
great gift of Imagination.

In the Name of the Lord of Hosts.
David knows the ancient songs and
stories of his people. Ile knows that
Jehovah has been called a ":encu of
War," that Ile is regarded as the
Captain of Israel's :armies, and that
He is the Giver of Victory. The title
"Lord of Hosts" originally meant God
of the armies of Israel, but later, in
the teaching of the prophets, it came
Ito signify the Lord of invisible as well
as visible powers, and of all creation.
This is the meaning we attona`h to the
name "Lord Sabaoth." David's faith
and courage are superb. "This day,"
he says, "will the Lord deliver thee
into my hand." "The Lord saveth
not with sword and spear." "The
battle is the Lord's."
• 17: 50-54. The Men of Is1'ael, en-
couraged by the amazing result of
the encounter of their youthful chant -
pion with the giant, rushed forward
to his aid, and followed up their re-
treating enemy as far as Gath (not
Gai) and the gates of Etsron. The
statement that David brought the
Philistine's head to Jerusalem ii hard
to explain, because at that time, and
for many yciire afterward, Jerusalem
was a Jebusite stronghold.
17: 58-18: 5. Whose Sona is This
Youth? This part of the story can
only be regarded as truly historical if
these events took place before David
came to the court and became Saui's
favorite, as related in chap. 16.
The friendship which sprang up
between David and "Jonathan" is full
of interest and beauty, and has be-
come a type for all time of generous,
enduring, and unselfish affection. They
made a covenant of brotherhood,
which remained unbroken even when
Jonathan came to know that. Davi'i
would take his place upon the throne
of his father. Years passe3 and
David behaved himself wisely, so that
he was promoted to high rank and
command in the army.
18: 6-9. But an incident occurred
on the return from the battle of the
vale of Elah which afterward was
remembered by Saul and gave occasion
for jealousy and 'anger. The women
came out ,from the cities with instru-
ments of music to acclaim the "victors,
and they gave as was -natural efter
what had happened, greater praise to
David than to SauL-. Brave and: bap -
able, and' with w•onie fine and geineroee
qualities, Saul alloWea the deanon of
:jealousy ,to enter his mind, and, al-
though he banished it, it returned
again and again in the lits of jealous
madness which' darkened hislater'
years.
