TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) REVIEW, EARLY LEADERS OF ISRAEL Sunday, Sept. 26. -Devotional Reading, Psalm 105: 1-7. Golden Text: 1 Let us run with patience the race i that is set before us, looking mete 1 Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (Heb. 12:1-2.) A great deal of the New Testa -1 inent is foreshadowed in the Old; , and this quarter's lessons in Exodus 1 give us remarkable illustrations, or types, of the Christian life, set forth in the actual experiences of God's chosen people Israel. A worth -1 while review may be had by liseov- ering parallels between the cepa- , iencea of Israel and the experiences , of the Christian. 1. Israel enslaved in Egypt (Ex. I 1:1-14). The Gospel of Christ is for enslaved people, and all men by nature are the slaves of stn. Our slavery is our need of a Saviour. 2. In the Childhood and Educa- tion of Moses (Eg. 2:1-10; Acts '7: 22) God began his preparation of a deliverer, or saviour for Tsrael. The best that the world could furnish was given to Moses in his education at the royal court of Egypt. The early years of the young Israelite remind us of the words concerning the boyhood of Jesus, that He in- creased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52). 3. In the call of Moses (lx. 2:11 to 4:18) we have an accurate and unsparing account of Mosey mis- takes and weaknesses, as well as of his great commission. He could only be Israel's deliverer after he had been brought into the presence of God, at the burning bush. When God calls, and man answers, God can • use !he mane in spite of his weaknes- ses. 4. Israel's deliverance required not only a deliverer, but also blood sac- rifice; and so we have the Passover (Ex. 11:1 to 12:86). There is no salvation apart from blood, either for Israel or for the church. The shed blood of the Passover lamb typifies the previous blood of the Lamb without blemish, Jesus Christ, poured out for us. 5. When Gocl leads on nothing can block the way. The Deliverance at the Red Sea (Ex. 18:17-22; 14:10- 16) , ie a miracle of God's ompipo- tence, rolling back the waters of the sea to let His people through, and then destroying their enemies by those same waters. This experience was, to Israel, that which Paul set forth in the words, "Now tharks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in, Christ" (2 Cor. 2c14). 6. After God delivers He caves for every need, both bodily and spir- itual. The Giving of the Manna (Ex. 16:1-36) proved this. The Israelites, e losing their faith, thought they were. all going to starve in, the wilderness. But God said "Beheld, I will rain bread from Heaven for you." God does not save'?eople,in order to ab-, atidon them, Paul knew this as he declared, "My God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ" (Phil. 4,19.) 7. Neither Israelites or Christians need to turn away from God's plans and follow the advice of woridy friends. What is called Jethro's Wise Counsel (Ex. 18:1-27, seeined wise, from the human standpoint, but it was foolishness with God. 'Both Jethro and Moses made the mistake a of trying to improve upon God's plan, "The foolishness of Gid is wlsel. than men" (1, or 1:25), /r" 8. Duties to God (Ex. 19:1 to 20: 11). Because God has brought us "out of the house of bondage') we are to "have no other gods" before Him; and we are to bear His name worthily. Is not the meaning of the first four Commandments expressed in the call to Christians, who have been saved "by the mercies of God," that they present themselves "a liv- ing sacrifice" unto Him (Rom. 12: 1), and permit no idols of any sort in their lives? (1 John 5:21). 9. Israel's duties to Man (Ex. 20: 12-21), which are the second part of the Ten Comamndments, are but ex- pressions of the New Testament duty and privilege of love. "Love work- eth no i11 to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law" (Rom. 13:10). 10. Before the elaborate taber- nacle was built in the wilderness, there was still a place where God met man, the Tent of Meeting (Ex. 13). It was here that "the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses." In Christ, and through his sacrifice men could have access to the Father, for He said to one of His disciples, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9). 11. Gifts for the Tabernacle (Ex. 35:4 to 36:7) were asked for when that elaborate structure was to be built. But only those were allowed to give who "brought a willing of- fering unto the Lord"; and only such giving is acceptable to the Lord from the , Christian, for "so let him 'give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 8:12; 9:7). 12. Obedience to Law (Lev, 26) was required of the Israelite. in or- der to have blessing; it is required of the Christian because Gori has giv- en him every blessing in Christ. We keep God's law to -day as Christians, not in order to be saved, but because we have been saved apart from the law, through faith in Christ. • ONLY PRIZE WINNERS COME TO DAIRY SHOW Gracie Cattle Receive Special Recog- nition at National Dairy Ex- position Detroit, Sept. 22. -Kings and queens of dairy land, blue ribbon winners at State and sectional fairs throughout the United States and Canada, will compete at the "court of least resort" for the premier dairy honors of the world when the Nat- ional Dairy Exposition opens at the Michigan State Fair grounds on dc- tober 6. When entries closed on September 15, fifteen hundred of the world's leading dairy cattle, from twenty states, were registered. They Som- prise the greatest dairy "herd" ever assembled, according to J. E. Burn- ett, superintendent of cattle exhi- bits. • Grade cattle classes are receiving considerable emphasis this year. Nearly $6,500 in premiums is given which compares very favorably with the pore bred cattle awards. All , cows must be sired by pure pred brills and the sire's name and number giv- en with the matey, Individttal and group awarda are made. The National Dairy Association en- courages the development of grade herds. because 10 a great many eases the Association realises that the grade cow opens up Mile avenue to profitable dairy peednetioh.

Three, four, Lock the door; rive, six, Let me mix', Seven, eight, Mine is straight; Nine, tet:, Say When! The Mysterious Gift By GEORGE ELMER COBB (Oopyright, 1915, Wooten: Newspaper naioa,) In the little trausfer depot of a rail- road junction, Rolfe Dayton sat muf- fled up In his overcoat directly behind a bench containing live persons. These were an old man, n woman, evidently his wife, two little children and a young girl, whose grace and beauty were radiant even In the fitful glow of a spluttering oil lamp. Dayton was waiting for a southbound train, the little family group, he gathered from their rnnverenllon, for ono honed 111 the opposite directlou. Elston had been named as their destination and Dayton was Interested, for that was where he resided. He was a young man not more than thirty, but some adverse experience seemed to have clouded his life, to judge from a certain world weariness in eyes and face. Ile was courteous to those he came in contact with, but malting no close friends or acquain- tances. From what Dayton overheard he was able to surmise that the man was Robert Lane, who had recently failed in the city, broken down in health, and be acted hopeless and discouraged. The little ones were the orphan children of a married daughter. Whit attracted the attention of Dayton was the infinite pains of his other daugh- ter, whom he called Arline, and of his wife to cheer him and make him com- fortable. "Only a few hours more, father dear," spoke the young girl soothing- ly, "and we will be in our new home. Then you must take a long rest and burden your poor tired soul with noth- ing for weeks and weeks." "And what is to keep us all from starving in the meantime?" asked the ord man with a dismal sigh. "Oh, we have arranged for every- thing!" answered Arline brightly. We have been very fortunate to secure that cheap, pretty house in Elston. The rent is scarcely anything; the agent has been most kind In seeing that our furniture was received and put in place. I shall find work, mamma can help out with her sewing and oh! the agent writes me there is a large lot for gardening and chicken houses and buildings for a cow and all that" "Which looks very fine," submitted the invalid, "but It Costs money to stock up such a place." "Yes, and fast as I earn money we will proceed to do it, if we have to buy only one chicken at a time," de- clared Arline buoyantly. "Oh! indeed, it will be rare delight to gradually build up our lives new tel over and forget our old troubles." Their train arrived, and Dayton, im- pelled by his strong human interest In these unfortunates, hastened to re- lieve Arline of one of the two satchets she carried. She bestowed a grateful word for the courtesy. Dayton stood watching the train till It was gone. The new life began for the Lanes amid novel and engrossing experi- ences. Even the depressed father tools an interest in life. They got the gar- den plat ready for planting meantime, and one morning little );dna came retailing into the house quivering with exclement. "Olt, aunty!" she cried wildly, "the chicken house is just full of the most beautiful liens and roosters you ever saw 1" Arline hurried oat to the roar of the lot. She could scarcely believe her eyes. Nearly thirty of the fowl trihe were visible where there had been emptiness. When had they come - who the generous donor? The mystery pnzzled nud disturbed. but as the days went on no explanation materialized and the Lanes were content to enjoy the gifts that the gods had bestowed. One day Dayton passed the house and Arline learned that he was their landlord. Be bowed politely on that occasion, on another paused to have n little chat with Mr. Lane and one af- ternoon when there was a circus in town took the two little ones to the entertainment. He seemed to expe- rience a pleasure in witnessing the perfect harmony, industry and con- tentment of the happy home group. He smiled indulgently as Arline told of her strange acquisition of live poultry and one day the mystery be- came so no longer. Some one bad left the chicicen yard gate open. Arline's cherished brood was gone. In great trepidation she ran out into the rear lane, In the distance she made out her disloyal guests led by n majestic chanticleer making for new feeding grounds. As she caught up with them, breathless and excited, they filed into the garden and then into the chicken yard of Mr. Rolfe 7layton.• He himself smiled at her pretty con- fusion from the house porch. Arline was Slushed and embarrassed as the 'truth flashed over her mind. "You were the generous donor-" she burst forth in her impetuous way. "Why not? with plenty to spare," he challenged with a smile. "I will see that the truants are'retnrued to your excellent charge. In 1net I will myself get them hack where they be- long." Which he did, and enjoyed the fun and excitement of ehnae and capture., and Arline joined him, and Dayton dallied at the Lane home, the malt neconiplished and carne again the next day, and the next. And, so unconsciously lead she won bis wearied soul from its loneliness, that he realized that he had /mind tomething worth living for and told *line se elle day, and sbo was glad. WEDNESDAY. SEPT, 22, 1930.. IMMIGRATION The Bishop of London enthusilt-- tieally advocates an immigration pots cy for Canada and suggests that 00011 iiarieh ntiui:ter of the Church of En- gland should seek to secure . uitable immigrants for Canada, The 1.1, a is very favorably received lcy di ire and it is suggested that Canada roul,l take a minion or two addition- al immigrants with benefits all round. The introduotion of •irid,tienal population has effects that the erdin ai•y citizen knows nothing. of, and which is unfortunately ignored by our public: men. Suppose the population of our Northwest was increased by say, two millions, ,last ts'lv,t on, anna9 have on the conditions upon which' immigration depends? Would it iia - prove conditions so that more people would want to locate, or would it have a contrary effect? It L. gen- I erally believed that the class of peo- ple we want are those who will set- tle on the vacant farm lands; and special efforts are being made to direct immigration in this direction, but it is always Ignored that most of the lands near railway transporta- tion available for settlement are pri- vately owned and held at such pric- es that the newcomer starts with a serious handicap in having to put up several thousand dollars in cash or else by paying a part down, secure the land, and giving a mortgage on the property and his future earnings for the balance. . To the vast majority. of those who are willing to leave Britain and set- tle in Canada it is absolutely impos- sible to make any payment on land, let alone purchase it outright, But suppose this difficulty were got round and the first one hundred •housand came and were located. They would by their presence add one hundred million dollars to .the land values of the district in which they settled, and the speculation would add as much more to the value of the remaining unoccupied, land so that the next one 6",h nF i n [i1nr` rMt i '1.

Limited hundred thousand settled would have to give an additional premium for the use of the land, and every suc- ceeding one hundred thousand peo- ple would keep the price rising until land price had so increased that it would be next to impossible to buy and use land profitably at the price demanded, and immigration would cease as the result of the increased land values produced by themselves. This is practically what happened as a result of the last increase of population in the Northwest. The very success of the efforts to fill up the country so boomed land prices as to make further immigration un- profitable to the newcomers, and they gradually ceased to noire. Any immigration policy that does not take into consideration these ef- fects of increase in population is doomed to failure. Surely the value that attaches to the lands of the C.P.R., the Hudson Bay's Co., and every vacant land owner because of an increase in pop- ulation due to an immigration policy financed by the country at large, should not be allowed to be absorb- ed by them. The only possible way to prevent it is a stiff tax on land val- ues, especially vacant land values. This would not only prevent private monopoly absorbing all the advan- tage of this expenditure of public money but will force such an ad- justment of prices that little more would be required to attract popula- tion than to let the people of Britain and United States know the fact that good land could be bought at such reduced prices per acre, and they would come quickly and of their own accord and unassisted, and these represent the more desirable type of immigrants. reLOOK AT THE LABEL A Wonderful Record of Growth ' 7777 40 _00 0 r .,yti0t-....��.:..iMg.:a.gT va ..M« ... *1.

Whole fleets of motor express vehicles of al1 types, including the new trailer, bearing in alining let- ters their newly aasntued name made their way through the streets of Montreal, Toronto, Wimtlpog and Vancotiver, ote September first, when the change of name became effoe- tive. But the horse-drawn wagons and ancient servants of the Com- pany were not forgotten; in Mont- real the parade was led through the principal streets of the eity by Samuel Nightingale, who is com- pleting his 80th year in the service, driving 'Babe," a t'eniarltahle little horse that has served the Company for 19 years and can still take the steepest hills on high. 'The wagon in which Me. Nightingale was seated was put into the service in 1,890 and is still on daily route.
