homes of Egypt were smitten as by

a known in those days of sanitation,
nothingof the prevention of disease

was always regarded 115 the "stroke
of trod,•' and it WOO useless to resist
';it. The devout Israelite looked
upon it .in this case as a visitation
of (locl for the wrong done to His pee -
pie. For was not Israel Jehovah's
son, This firstborn among the nations,
and therefore were not the firstborn
of Egypt to pay the penalty of the
wrong that vitae done them? See
Exod, 4: 22, 23. And the plague did

barked),
12: 1-14. The I'11030001', The his,
1 torten, writing ]ong afterward, puts
side by side here the story of that
' dreadful n,ght in Egypt, when the
people of Israel remained awake and
fully dressed for the journey to com-
mence at daybreak, when -they ate
the flesh of the sacrificed lamb o1• kicl
! and hastily prepared cakes of tun
leavened bread, and sprinkled the side
posts and lintel of their doors with
the sacrificial blood, and the law or
laws governing the celebration of the
Passover• memorial feast w: ich mast
have been made et some later tame.
i It is well, therefore tin reading, to
, separate the story from the law and
1 -to reed each by itself. The story
of chapter 11 is continued in 12: 21-
36; the priestly law providing for
the Pa.eeover feast. is in 12: 1-20 and
43-51,
"This month" is the IIelvew mouth
• Abib, afterward called by the Bah -
71 11,831 name Nisen. It corers the
latter part of March and first part
of April, The old Hebrew year,
which le still observed by the Jews,
began in September. For example,
New Year's Day of the year 1079 w•as
September 711), 1913. The Christian
festival of Easter conte:( at the sante
time as the Passover, This month
was the flet of the old Babyloniol
year, and it is stere made the beginn-
Iing of a sacred year, and hence, after
the making of thio law the Jews had
two calendars, according to one of
which the year began in September
and acecrding to the outer in March.
"A lamb," or kid, was to be chosen
for every household, or if the nuni-
bars were small two households
might combine. The lamb, chosen on
the tenth day of the month, was to
be killed on the evening of the four=
teenth and eaten on the same night,
The blood was to be sprinkled on the
door posits and lintel, and all wag to
be done as a fit memorial of the night
which ,as
the departure from
Egypt.
• With the Passover was associated
the feast of unleavened bread, or
l4lazzotlt, and the sacrifice of the
firstborn of the flock and the herd to
Jehovah. This was probably an.
ancient spring feetical which oe0ur-
red at this same time, and this may
be the feast which Moses asked
Pharaoh's permiss:on for the people
to celebrate in the wilderness (5: 1-3).
A reason is given, however, for the
custom of eating unleavened bread
in 12: 30. See also 12: 15-20 and
I13: 1-10,
Whatever its origin may have been,
the Passover "came to be a great na-
tional institution of the Israelites; it
was a solemn annual memorial of a
!great national' deliverance and of the
birth of national independence; the
paschal lamb was a symbol of unity,
the unity of the family, of the na-
tion, and of God with His people;
while details corresponded to incid-
ents of the Exodus, as told by tradi-
tion, the rite as a whole reminded
men annually of the covenant -rela-
tion subsisting between Jehovah and
Israel, and kept alive their sense of
the continuance of His favor towards
them, And so the paschal lamb be=
comes a type of Chrlst and the Pee -
(hal meal of the Christian l:neharist.
Christ was the true Paschal' Lamb (1
Car, 5: 7) who gathered up into
:Himself, and realized in a higher,
more spirit:fi it sense, the associations
of redemption and deliverance ---no
longer, however, from the bondage
of Egypt, lint from the thraldom of
sit—of which the Passover, for so
many centuries, had been the expres

Stock Water in Winter.
A cement water tank built inside
the barn will make the work of feed-
ing stock in winter much easier, If
the barn is reasonably warm the wa-
ter will not freeze and the stock will
drink more of it when it le not ice
cold.
When the tank is out of donne,
much time is wasted in chopping ice,
finless the stock d1t]nle immediately,
the water soon freezes again.
Artifleial warmers for tanks have
1)0enused with 1401110 success, but
bringing the tame inside the barn
eliminates the neceseliy of heating

Some men are quick to know what
to do; some are easily rattled, lose
their heads and do just what they
ought not to do when a tight pinch
comes, A lean passing our house
with a team, broke down almost le
front of the house. It would have
been a111u±ing if it had not been so
serious to watch that man as he flew
around helplessly trying to think
what to do and really doing nothing
worth while. ITe had to be helped
out of his pinch by men who came to
the rescue. Now, you may be sure
that that main had not learned when
a boy to keep cool, to tht..-k calmly
and then work fast and to some pur-
pose. te
How can boys gain that self-mas-
tery which will enable them to meet
the hard things that will surely come
to them some time or other? That is
the thing all want to know, and two
or three things will help, In the
first place, try hard to avoid accid-
ents of allslcinds; but if they do come,
say to 'yourself, and say it quick,
"Now it is up to me to deal with this
situation. I anust kelp my thinit-
ing cap on. I will not get excited.
I will look things over and then do
what seems to me best." And then,
learn to be independent. That is,
when things happen, don't give up
b01te3. Stielc. Work. Be master
of the `situation. Meet trying things
like a man and ' will
