recognized the fact that the tribes
that had seceded and come over to him
had not in so doing forsaken the God
and the religion of their fathers.
They would continue to worship the
God of Israel, and Jerusalem was the
true centre of that worship. He was
wise enough not to attempt to estab-
lish at once a new religion althougb
he knew that the repeated visits of
his people to Jernealem fcr worship
as the law required (Deut. 16:16)
would be likely to win them back to
the parent kingdom. The religious in-
stinct in man is deep-seated, and is

note that the images made by Jero•
beam were like that made by Aaron
in the wilderness (Exod. 32: 4.) Both
men were familiar with the image of
the .ox from their acquaintance with
the religion of Egypt, and Jeroboam
may have been influenced by that
knowledge in making the golden
calves. It is more probable that the
golden calves were suggested by the
oxen in the tel mem which rested

you to go up to Jerusalitme-Jeroboant

la his precedure he ignored the uni-
versal law of consequences, of cause
mid effect, Four important measures
received his immediate attention', 'a
eapital, a plan of worship, a festival
and a priesthood. Having fortified
some of the chief cities of his realm,
feroboam set to work to create public
dehtlmont favorable to his scheme,
which led to a division in the Jewish
church. His policy revealed his utter
distrust of God. -Ho took advantage

itis zeal for his own safety the

of the people, to serve his own ambi-
tious designs. ale took advantage of
the sacred associations of Bethel and
Dan. In every step Jeroboam took ho
was seallefg his own doom and that of
bis people. •
IT. Led to,a, violation of divine law.
God bad ordained that there should be
one sanctuary for the whole nation.
Jeroboam knew that and also that the
division of the kingdom was to make
no difference as to the oneness or the
position of the sanctuary. He was re-
peatedly reminded that Jerusalem was
the one place of incense and sacrifice.
He ignored the living God as a factor
in consolidating his kingdom. Recog-
nizing as he did the religious tendene
cies of his peoele, he foresaw that the
national assemblies for worship in the
temple at jerusalem would eventually
reunite the twelve tribes under one
king. To suit the exigencies- of the
case, God's ordinances were overturn-
ed, other places of worehip were set
up, the conunandment against imago
worship wag broken, the national con-
nection with the religion which God
had ordained Was broken off. Herein
was his fatal mistake. True policy
would have been to have left mat-
ters of religion unchtinged. Jeroboam
had.been called to the throne for poli-
tical purpose& He made use of the
church to serve his political anibitions.
He did not openly reject Jehovah, but
he corrupted his worship. It was pro-
bably his boast that he with the peo-
ele tvorshipped the one true God in a
more rational and primitive way. De-
vices to lighten the stress et duty
and to give a liberal interpretation to
moral obligations became popular.
The introduction of old errors indeulg-
ed their idolatrous propensities. A
servile priesthood aided in accomplish-
ing the enslaveraent of the people. The
one centre of unity gave place to three

divine obligation wag travestied by

eves -the fruit was not harvested. Many
growers, noweVer, did not destroy this
fruit, and its appearance on the mar-
ket interferred seine instances with
the sale of better grades. As a rule,
good fruit sold at satisfactory prices,
in spite ot the fact that canners han-
dled very few. Tile crop was well dis-

such as Bradshaw, Monarchs and.
Grand Duke have been thinned out by
heavy dropping, but there is still
Plenty of fruit remaining on the trees.
There will also be a plentiful crop tee,
tween Hamilton and Toronto. Green
varieties (Rein Claude, ete.) are light.
Peaches. -The Niagara peaeh crop
is now reaching tuliturity, and ship-
ments have already been made to the
Toronto market. A considerable quan-
tity of the fruit has fallen, but, suffi-
cient has been left upon the trees to
give a fair crop. The quality and size,
are good, as the trees are not now too
heavilyaloaded. Conditions are not as
favorable in 'orchards that were left
unsprayed last year and attacked by
leaf curl. Triumphs, Rivers and other
early varieties are fairly heavy, with
Crawford, Fitzgerald -and Yellow St.
John fair to good. Some of the late
varieties did Mit bear heavily enough
to require thinning. The total crop.
will be 85 to 90 pet cent. full.

Ottawa, July 27, 1015.
Dear Sire --His Royal Highness, the
Duke of Connaught, has been much
gratified, as the Chief Scout of the
Boy Scouts' Association tor Canada,
to notice that. Bay Scout in various
parte of the country are assisting the
recruiting offieers in 'connection with
tne enlistment ot volunteerfor ser-
vice overseas, arid I am eesired to
express the Chief •Scout's hope that.
Boy Scouts and their officers through-
out the Dominion will co-operate with
the recruiting authorities along these
in whatever way their services may
be made of value. In some localities
there have already been Boy Scout
• vendee on behalf of the 'recruiting
• cause, whilst elsewhere the lads are
helping with messenger services and
la other ways. The form of the
scouts "good turn" to this patriotic
cause may vary in different localities
cm account of local eiretunstances, but
these . are matte:la of easy arrange-
ment, and any help which may be
given in this way will be as much
cnjoyed by the lads themselves as it
will be appreciated by the military
authorities. Anything whit% is done
by the Boy Scouts along the lines
above indicated should in 'all cases
he done only by arrangement with the
local military authorities.
Lions of the Russian forces still re-
mains critical, there is every reason
to believe the excellent ereee with
whicb their. withdrawal ha$ been ex-
ecuted thus far will be maintained
until all have reached the new line ef
defence."
Little additional news has reached
London regardiug the Russians' laet
days in Warsaw, The Times corre-
spondent in that city, describing the
retiring Russlau troops, Says:
"There was no feeling ot hopeless-
ness, although disappointment was
written on every face. The long Rus-
sian defeat, culminating in the fall of -
Warsaw has touched the lethargic
temperament of the Russian nation,
and to -day the war has the support
of the entire Russian people. There
!a not the vaguest suggestion any -
a here of peace without a decision."
SOME GERAIAN BOASTING.
Berlin,. Aug. 8. --(By wireless to
Sayvilte.)-An account of the condi-
lions under which the German and
Auqrian armies are advancing
through the distriets of Poland devas-
tated by the Russians before their
retreat was given out to -day by the
Overseas News Agency. It follows:
"Thee colossal scale on which ar-
rangements were made. to supply the
armies caused a sensatiou in the towns
evacuated by the Russians. Hundreds'
of thousands of troops between the
Vistula, and the Bug are- being fed as
well as though they Were at eoine.
The men receive three warm meals
daily. Great herds of cattle are driven
behind the advancing troops. Millions
of bottles ot mineral water aro dis-
tributed among the men. The rail-
roads .were reopened speedily by the
Germans and Austrians, solving the
problem of restoring facilities for for-
warding troops by rail., The furnish-
ing of supplies ttr the men has been
accomplished notwithstanding the fact
that the Russians removed all such
supplies and set fire to the villages
before they retreated.
"The only representatives of neutral
• countries remaining at their posts at
Warsaw are those of the United States
and Norway."e
