There is a large amount of insurance
there being

and a value of $161,31.4,000. Alfalfa, a
record of which was taken for the first
time, shows an area of 101,781 acres
with a yield of 227,900 tons, This val-
uable fodder crop is being principally
grown in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta,
the yield per acre for the whole of Can-
ada being 2 1-4 tons.
For the year 1911 the areas from
which the yields are calculated were
those of the recent Census and the re-
sulting data are not therefore strictly
comparable with the estimates of the
three previous years which were based
upon the reports of selected correspon-
dents. It may be mentioned however
that the area and production of wheat
in 1911 exceed by over 1,000,000 acres
and 65,862,000 bushels the estimates of
1910. A more satisfactory criterion of
the difference between the two seasons
of 1911 and 1910 is afforded by the av-
erage rates of yjeld per acre which for
fall wheat was 22.19 bushels in 1911
against 23.49 in 1910, spring wheat 20.63
against 16.53, oats 37.76 against 32.79,
barley 28.94 against 24.62 and flax 11.41
against 7.97.
In the three Northwest provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
the wheat production was 184,083,000
bushels compared with 128,891,000
bushels the estimate of 1910; of oats
212,810,000 compared with 21,377,000.
The wheat production of 1911 in Mani-
toba was 60,275,000 bushels from 2,-
980,000 acres, in Saskatchewan 97,665,-
000 bushels from 4,705,000 acres and in
Alberta 36,143,1.`00 bushels from 1,617,-
000 acreas.
By provinces the total value of all
field crops in 1911 was as followr:
Prince Edward Island $8,846,700, Nova
Scotia $14,297,000, New Brunswick
$16,797,000, Quebec $103,187,000, Ont-
ario $193,260,000, Manitoba $73,136,000,
Saskatcheson $107,147,00), Alberta $47,-
750,000, British Columbia $1,290,000.
Owing to the exceptionally mild
weather which prevailed during the
fall and early winter live stock are re-
ported as having entered winter quar-
ters in excellent condition. As a gen-
eral rule winter supplies are ample

The total amount of premium re-
ceived in Canada in 1910 for all forms
of insurance was $56,035,725, of which
$29,087,391 was received by Canadian
companies, and $26,948,334 by British
land American. These figures, of
course, do not include the large amounts
paid by leading manufacturers to U. S.
(companies not registered in Canada.
It is a peculiarity of the extreme pro-
tectionist that he can only see an ad-
vantage�on his side -he has no con-
sideration for the Canadian or British
insurance companies.

COULD NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT.
People all over this land toss night
after night on a sleepless pillow, and do
not close their eyes in the refreshing
slumber that comes to those whose heart
and nerves are right.
The sleeplessness comes entirely from
a derangement of either the heart or
nerves, or both, but whatever the cause
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills offer
the blessing of sound refreshing slumber.
They do this by their invigorating effect
on the heart and nerves, and will tone
u -i the whole system to a perfect con-
dition.
Mrs,. A. E. Martell, Rockdale, N.S.,
writes: -"I was troubled for a long time
with my heart, had weak and dizzy
spells, could not sleep, and would have
Ito sit up the greater part of the night,
and it was impossible for me to lie on my
left side. At last I got a box of Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills, slid they did ms
iso much good I got another, and after
taking it I could lie on my left side, and
sleep as well as before 1 was taken sick.
.,They are the best medicine I ever heard
401 for heart or nerve trouble,"

Lesson IV. -First Quarter, For
Jan. 28, 1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL . SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Luke ii, 25.38.
Memory Verses, 29, 30 -Golden Text,
Luke ii, 30, 31, R. V. -Commentary
Propared by Rev. D. M, Stearns.
l3eing made under the haw to re-
deem them that were under the law,
Ile was duly circumcised according to
the law and called as commanded by
Gabriel when he appeared to Mary
with the great announcement (Gal. iv,
4, 5; Luke 1, 31). He came to fulfill the
law, to fulfill all righteousness, that
Ile might become our righteousness
(Matt. W. 15; v, 17; II Cor. v, 21). Note
the extreme poverty of Mary, as indi-
cated by the offering she brought.
Though her hand round not sufficiency
of a Iamb (Lev. xii, 8, margin), yet
God used her to provide Ilis Lamb,
without blemish and without spot, to
fulfill all types and to provide eternal
redemption by His great sacrifice of
Himself i1 Pet. i, 19, 20; Heb. ix, 12-
14:. The great purpose of God is se
far beyond our comprehension, His
ways and thoughts so much higher
thnu ours, that even though we kuow
the facts, or some of them, the reach
of them, from eternity to eternity, is
too high for us (Ps. xc, 2). What au
unspeakable honor to belong to Him,
to be part of Him and a joint heir
with Bim of His kingdom and glory.
Some of the things written of Sim-
eon are true of every redeemed one,
for all true believers are just or right-
eous and have the Holy Spirit. All
should be devout, Spirit taught and
guided and waiting for the coming of
the Lord. The words "just, devout,
waiting," describe the threefold salva-
tion of every believer as set forth in
I Thess. i, 9, 10; Tit. 11, 11-13, and
elsewhere. By the precious blood of
Christ we are now saved, and by ills
Spirit we should ever live devoutly and
love Ills appearing. His title, "the
consolation of Israel" (verse 25), re-
minds us of Ise, lxvi, 13; Zeph. lit,
14, 15; Zech. ii, 10-12, and we think
also of another title, "the hope of Is-
rael" (Jer. xiv, 8; xvit, 13; Acts, xxvlii,
20), but this carries us beyond our
threefold salvation to the next step in
God's plan, our return with Christ in
His glory for the redemption of Israel
and the establishment of His kingdom
In verses 25-27 of our lesson we see the
Spirit upon Simeon, the Spirit teach-
ing him and guiding him to the tem-
ple at the right1 time to find the child.
it is our privifege to be thus Spirit
taught and led. May we know the
reality.
This aged saint, bolding the child in
his arms, looking fondly and reverent-
ly upon Him, while Joseph and Mary
stood listening to his wouderful words
and marveling at them, is, indeed a
beautiful picture. Listen to him as he
desires now to depart, having seen
with his own eyes and actually em-
braced the Lord's anointed. To him
this child was the fulfillment of
prophecy, but with prophetic vision he
saw a time of trouble before the com-
ing of the kingdom. Tbink upon his
words as he held the child, "Mine eyes
have seen thy salvation." Jacob said,
"I have waited for Thy salvation, 0
Lord" (Gen. xlix, 18). Moses and Da-
vid and Isaiah sang, "The Lord is be-
come my salvation" (Ex. xv, 2; Ps.
cxviii, 14; Isa. xii, 2). Every true be-
liever can say the same and rejoice
in the words of this same child when
grown to manhood, "Blessed are they
that have not seen and yet have be-
lieved." "Thy salvation which thou
hast prepared" (verses 80, 31). It is
of the Lord, wholly and only; He who
said, "I am the Lord, that maketh all
things, that stretcheth forth the heav-
ens alone, that spreadeth abroad the
earth by Myself." Ho is the author
and finisher of it (Isa. xliv, 24; Heb.
xii, 2). It will in due time fill the
earth, for all flesh shall see the salva-
tion of God (chapter 111, �6). Compare
Isa. xl, 5; xlix, 6; iii, 10. He is in this
present age a light to lighten the gen-
tiles, and when by the light His body,
the church, shall have been gathered
from all nations then shall He return
as the glory of Israel, and all nations
shall be fully enlightened by Him
through Israel (Isa. Ix, 1-8). There is
neither light nor glory apart from
Him. All else is darkness, under the
ruler o:t the darkness of this world
(I7ph v, 8; vi, 12). But 1f the light has'
shone In our hearth it is in order that
we may turn others from darkness to
light and from the power of Satan
unto God (Ii: Cor. iv, 6; Acts xxvi, 18).
Individual salvation is only"and whol-
ly by Him who came from Judah, who
died for us and rose again, and the
salvation of the nations will be
through the nation of which He will
be the King, for "salvation Is of the
Jews" (John iv, 22), whether individ-
ual or national. How perplexing the
words, except in the light of prophecy,
concerning the fall and rising ngain of
many and the sign to be spoken
itgalnst, but when we remember Elis
death and resurrection as predicted
in Ps. xatli, Isa. 1111 and many of the
types and His coming in {dory to set
up His kingdom all is more clear.
