JOSHUA RENEWING THE COV
ENANT
, Sunday, Nov. 21.—Joshua 24:14
25..
Golden Text:
Choose you the, day whom ye wil
eerve . . . but 00 for M3 and me
!muse, we will serve the Lord. (Josh
24:15.)
Joshua had come to the closing
days of a long, faithful, succeesfu
life; he was one hundred and ten
years old. He could have .said with
the aged Paul, "I have fought a good
Tight, I have finished my course,
have kept the faith." (II. Tim. 4: 6
7.)
The last two chapters of the bool
M Joshua should be read to get the
spirit and setting of the lesson.. Le•
us not ,forget that this was one of
:he greatest men in the history of
the world, and it is hie last word
we are studying. Magazin: articles
giving as entimate glimpses of prom
inent men of to -day are popular, es
pecially when they tell us secrets of
success in the lives of captains of in
dustry or military leaders. Here is
an intimate glimpse of the life of a
greater man -than any living to -day.
He sends for the heads of Israel
and gives a vivid review of their na-
tional history. He is speaking to a
successful people, before whom no
one had been able to stand. Does he
congratulate and praise them?
No; but he does give them the
secret of their success, and of hie
own. It is the only secret of sueeess
for us to -day: "The Lord jour God is
He that hath fought for you."
Israel's task was by no means
ished; it was little more than begun.
Joshua assured them that not only
had God fought for them, but He
e would continue to do so.
Yet there was a sharp condition of
this, a searching proviso. "Be ye
therefore very courageous to keep
and to do all that is written in the
book of the law." And "leave unto
the Lord your God, as ye have done
unto this day." There .are the age-
old and never new secrets of :success
again; believing and obeying the
word of God- and abiding in Him,
Then eoshud gives his people a
heart-to-heart talk about the sin of
worshipping other gods. He reminds
them that their nation bestrin when
God called Abraham from "the oth-
er side of the flood in old time," and
delivered him from the worship of
such gods, and gave him the lendin
which they now dwelt. Joshua sket-
ched Isracre history in Egypt, the
miraculous exodus, the wilderness ex-
perience, and the victories before
and entering Canaan. All tide was

this. Joshua may have trigl to
shock them out of any lethargy in
the matter, and bring them up with a
sharp, sheet turn from any move-

ment toward idolatry.
The stroke cut home, and the pee -
Pie pledged their allegiance to God.
Joshua set up a memorial, and made
a covenant with them. It is one of
' the bright spots in Israel's history to
read. "And Israel served the. Lord
all the days of Joshua, and all the
t Joshua, a
days of the elders that overlived
nd which had known all the
works of the Lord, that He had done

Better Enforcement of Law in This
County Than in Bruce
The Lucknow Sentinel said editor-
ially in it8 issue of last week:
A Walkerton newspaper reports
that ene Jolla Kupferscmidt, after
being placed under arrest and chars
ed with illegal purchase of liquor
(evidently bootleggers' stuff), admit•
ted the charge and was fined 650
and cote. At the same time a.charge
against tile wife of the defendant of
"ebstructing the offivere in` perform-
ance of their duty" was withdrawn.
. There was no question about the
woman's guilt, either. She had smash-
ed a bottle containing wheakey in
the presence of the officers in order
to deprive them of evidence amtinet
her, husband.
The important point in the story
is the way the application of tho law
-wee mit down to the eery lowest
point --the minimum fine for the
man, and the woman let off altogeth•
er.
Kupferechmidt knew that he wee
violating the law quite tie well o the
officers and the magietrate know it.
The minimum flee surely is intended
for those who may break Om law in-
nocently through ignorance or some
other extenuating circumetarice, It
le not intended for deliberete law-
breakers. The,. ought te get the
full penalty. They would then thlok

ing Trouble .and Repair Expense
in Cold Weather Motoring
-""-- (George W. Sutton, Jr.)
Almost every self-appointed sooth-
sayer in the country has taken note
of Nature's signs and has come out
with the prediction that we are in
•for one of the longest and eoldest
svinters we have ever shivered
through. All of which means much
to those of us who expect to oper-
ate our cam during the next five
months. It meeme greatly increased
expense if we -neglect to take Pre-
cautions now to protect our herd -
working automobiles from the rigors
of a winter which, according to the
seers, is scheduled to be colder and
more unpleasant tban ever. How-
ever, if we make a few preparations
now and, during the period of coal
consumption, grippe and chilled ears,
follow religiously a few simple rules,
there, is no reason. why our motoring
should cost us g nickel more than
in summer.
No one knows better than the
modern automobile manufacturer
that the average motorist is a happy-
go-lucky individual whom it is very
eifficult to persuade to take decent
care of his car. And 'ye, every time
a car breaks down and a repeir bill
ensues it gives the owner and a num-
ber of his friends an unfriendly feel-
ing toward that machine, oven al-
though it may be all his fault. There-
fore the automobile makers have
made great progress in the past few
years in scientifically protecting their
vehicles against owner abuse and
many of them are now recommend-
ing that owners allow expert garage
and service station people to perform
all of the simple and inexpenseve ser-
vice that the modern car requiree.
The incursion of thousands of wom-
en into the motoring world has in-
creased the feeling that car service
can be performed by qualified ex-
perts better, more cheaply, more
quickly and with less effort mid un-
tidiness than it can at home.
Beware of Freezing
This, however, doe not relieve the
owner of the entire rsponsibility of
fitting hie car for winter 000. The
first precteetien is to make slirkl that
the water in the cooling syetem can-
not freeze. A neglect of this detail
until after the first cold snap may
remelt in hundreds of dollmis of ex-
pense for electric welding of the
engine where the internal ice has
burst it. This means either that the
radiator must be emptied out every
night and whenever a long stop is
made in cold Weather or that some
anti-freeee solutiereemust be put in
the radiator. There are several of
these. Alcohol, the most popular,*
, has advantages and disadvantages
which are wellsknown to the avee-
age motorist. There are overal new
ones, however, including glycerine,
whose characteristics are not so well
known but which have much to re-
commend them for engine protection
in cold weather.
Glycerine, a by-product of soap
manufacture, has been suspected of
a tendency to at into metal arid rub-
ber hose connections. This is nut
true; according to se lengthy report
by the U. S. Burettes of Standards,
when the glycerine is of the chemic-
ally pure neutral type, free from ar-
id s and alkalie, ab prepared for rari-
iator else by the larger soap makers.
The fallacy is doubtless due to the
fact that glyceine will seep out of
tiny openings through which waste
could not pass or, if it did :pass
would be evaporated immedeately by
the engine heat and the air. Glycer-
ine will not evaporate and therein
lies one of its greatest veins to the
motbrist. You can fill your radiator
with the proper solution of glycerine
anti -freeze soltion and water and
never give it another thought
throughout the winter except to re-
plenish with a pint or so of water
every few weeks.
The greater precaution that must
be taken before glycerine M put in
is to have the water circulation sys-
tem completely tightened up and, lf
necessary, new hose connections in-
stalled.
Several other advantages of gly-
cerine are that it has an extremely
low freezingepoint, a boiling point
eomwhat higher than watec so that

Because of her experience as a magis-
trate, her connectioil with so mane
healing and reforming agencies, and
her prayed courage and independence,
I sought an interview with Dirs. Mur-
phy in order to discover her attitude
towards the system of Government
Control of Liquor in Alberta,
In considering the interview In
queetion we are not of course prim-
arily concerned with whether Mrs.
Murphy is now right or not. The sub -
Sect is one which, with all respect
to Mrs, Murphy's new opinions, is for
each individual to settle for himself
or hers If. and for that reason we
are not going to reproduce the whole
article, but the following extract will
probably furnish ground on which
the majority of penme ean meet:
"So long as liquor is manufactured,
it caenot be eliminated, Every quart
distilled or brewed under Government
iespention or contrel will find a con-
sumer. It is indent to find, a eon -
sumer, •
"The same is true of the Meetly

it be found by the puttee,
"Personally, I am one who claims
that neither whiekcy nor beer are
hygienic drinks. We would be vastly
better without t000l—eetter physical-
ly, mentally and morally."
There will also be general agree-
ment with Mrs. Murphy when she
eayst "There is no douet that eel
tion along temperance linos is hes me
au Immensely powerful effect, and
that one day the gospel of abstinenve
will gain a vastly greater hold upon
our Canadian people." The utter-
ances to which she commits herself

ed with so little' queetion, hot 1he1'3
is 110 gainsaying the transparent sin-

we may 1101 agree with her conclu-
sions there will be no desire to with-
hold our admiration rom the trank
honesty and marage which charac-
terize her vleews. Telling her 013111

Racing Is Bad
Racing an engine to get it 'warm-
ed upon a cold morning and running
with open choke are twe of the high
crimes of motoring which are vest-
ing car owners millions or dollars
annually. When the engine is cold
the oil in it is more or loss congeal-
ed and, for several minutes after the
start, many of the parts are rubbing
against each other practically with-
out lubrication, a highly dangerous
condition for cylinder walls, piston,
bearings and other expensive parts.
Somewhat the skune situation is
produced by running le with the
choke open. In this case the cylin-
ders receive an over -abundance of
raw gasoline which works down past
the pistons, taking much of the lub-
ricating oil .with it and forming in
the crankcase a weak, watery mix -
ten which has little lubricating val-
ue. The remedy for both those ills
is to run the engine slowly with the
spark retarded and radiator shutter
closed in the garage f or five , or see
minutes before -starting out. But be
sure that the windows and doors of
the garage are, open. Deaths from
the crabon-monoxide poinsoning are
increasing annually and are totally
unnecessary and easley avoidable.
To have your service seation pre-
pare your car for the winter will cot
e very few dollars but will return to
you a great many dollars in satis-
f actory winter motoring and in the
avoidance of the damage which care-
lessness causes at this time of the
year. A cleaning and winter adjust-
ment of the carburetor, the installa-
tion of an automatic or hand operat-
ed shutter if your car is not equip-
ped with one, a complete cleaning
out of the water system before the
anti -freeze solution is put in for win-
ter use, a cleaning of the spark
plugs, the oil purifier, the distributor
and the gasoline tank ;and the fuel
lines are some of the inexpensive
things that should be done in order
to secure placid and trouble-free
winter driving. On account of the
greater number of cold starts in the
winter, the oil should be completely
changed every 500 miles, eyen in
most of the care equipped with ther-
mostatic water control, oil fillers and
crankcase ventilation systems.
The battery will make a lot of
trouble for you in winter if you ab-
use it. Start more frequently in the
winter and using the lights more
makes the battery work overtime
The water should be kept constantly
at the proper' level and the battery
should be kept charged, to avoid its
freezing or quitting 'old some nigbt
when you least expect it and when
it is most inconvenient.

car you will find that it pays hand-
somely to leave it in the garage

and deep froz,en ruts and to use a
taxi -gab f or your necessary errands.
Winter is a particularly hard time
for tires and driving them at high
speed over sharp ice ruts costs a lot
of money. You know probably that
wet rubber cuts more easily than dry
rubber and that a weekly inspection
of the tires should be made and all
small cuts and scratches filled with
rubber cement. Tires are e lot bet-
ter than they used to be, but even
the best of them can have thousande

er tire inflation becomes opecially
