RUTH AND NAOMI
Sunday, Dec. 5.—Book Ruth.
Golden Telt:
Thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God. (Ruth 1 :Ill ).
In four short chapters we have in
the Book of Ruth an exquisitely
beautiful pastoral romance, winch at
the same time is literal history of the
most Momentous fort, and recorded
by supernatural inspiration. Tt le a
revord of judgment, affliction, heart-
breaking sorrow through repeated
deaths, lives apparently so desolated
that their story is ended, then Divine
intervention, life begun all over ag-
ain, and a climax unspeakably rich
41.d blessed and of ' eternal eigniti-
cance.
It was in the time of the judges,
of which we studied last week. It
was a wild, uncertain time, for "in
those days there was no king in Is-
rael; every man did that which was
right in his own eyes" ..(Judg. 21:
25). There were receated onslaughts
upon Israel from many enemies who
weer often vietorious. As theme,
. that were not enough, "there was a
famine in the land." A farrane is
God's direct judgment, and we may
be sure that Israel never suffered
from famine while she was doing
God's will. Yet liachtment can always
mean bleseing, when eeeeptel
humiliation, confession and faith.
This famine drove a man oe Beth-
lehem, with his wife and I'VVO SCUM,
Ott't of the land into the eountrv of
Moab, across the Jordan, seeking
food. The man died, leavin.r his wid-
ow Naomi and her two sons, atid the
latter married women of Moab: Or-
pah and Ruth. Then the SOPN died,
and the three women were left alone,
all Wi(ICAVS.
When Naomi learned that her own
people had food again, she started
back to the homeland, after urging
her daughters-in-law to stag in their
land and marry again from their own
people. One took her at her word:
rhe o t her. Ruth, "chive 0 n te her."
Her words of love and assure:we to
N1lOnlk have been ealled 9 inag of
lyric beauty:
Intreat me not to leave thee,
Or to retern from following after
thee;
For whether thou geest, 1 wi'l go;
And where thou lodgest, I will beige;
'Thy peaple shall he my -people,
And thy Goil my Ood.

Was
born Obed, who became the father
of Jesse, the father of David.
In other word, the bereaved young
Moabitess Ruth was brought into the
most honored family line ;Ile world
has ever known or ever wilt know:
the family of which the Son of God
became the Son of Man. If we turn
O\1'7 to the -first chapter Of the Gos-
pel of Matthew we find, in th , genea-
logy of "jest's Christ, the 5011 of Da,,,
vid, the son of Abraham," the name
of Ruth. She may not have known
in her earthly lifetime the hill silent-
fiaance oe the honor that had come
re her; hut she knows now. •
The Companion Bible (Oxford
University Press) calls retention to
the striking fact that there are two
books only in the Scriptures bemire:
the names of women: "Ruth, a Gen-
tile marries a Hebrew husband; Es-
ther, a Jewess, marries a Gsntile hus-
band. Two tokens that Gentiles, as
• och, wen-, to be blessed only through
-Abraham': seed, accordine to Gene-
sis 12:3; 18:• 18," etc:
Another calls attention to the fact
that, Wypically the book ma' be tak-
en as a foreview of the Church
(Ruth), as the Gentlle bride oe
Christ, a •Bethlehemite who is ab'e
to redeem. Ruth also gives a norm-
al Christian experience: T. Ruth de-
ckling, 1 a II. Ruth Serving. 2; IT.
Ruth resting, 3; IV. Ruth reweried,
4."
CET ALL RED CLOVER SEED
The tests which have been vole.
dueted by the Dominion Experimen-
tal Farms with red clovor from dif-
ferent sources indicate to a marked
degree the advantageof home-grown
seed over the great bulk or imp need
varieties.
This being the case, the growers of
red elover will perform 9 valuable

Canada's largest esuelcret ranch
is now being established at Swan
Lake, about 40 miles west of Qaes-
nel in central British Columbia.
There are about 4,000 muskrats on
the farm now and it is estimated
that the raneh will eventually have
an annual output oZ 50,000 pelts.
The S.S. Emperor of Port Me -
Nicol, purchaeed by the Canadian
Pacific Railway Cempany and re-
named the 88, Nootka, sailed from
Montreal reaently for Newfound-
land and will thence proceed to Van-
couver via the Panama Canal to join
the Canadian Pacific coastal fleet.
The Nootka will be operated on a
cargo service between Vancouver
and Skagway, Alaska.
Edmonton.—The first plant in
Canada, outside of SritRh Colum-
bia, for the freezing of fish, poultry
and eggs under the Otteson process,
will be omitting in this city by
June 1st, according to P. Johnson,
managing director of the Johnson
Fisheries, Limited. His firm paid
$10,000 for therights of the ter-
ritory. • The initial capacity of the
plant -will be fifteen tons a day.
Victoria.—The new drydoek just
completed at Esquimalt, Victoria, is
the second largest in the world and
only 29 feet shorter than the Com-
monwealth dock at Boston. This
giant dock, hewn out of solid rock,
cost $6,000,000 and measures 1,160
feet long, 149 feet wide at the,top
and 125 at the bottom. Its depth is
49 feet 5 inches with 40 feet of
water in the sills at high water. The
dock will take the largest ship
afloat.
The shipment of Canadian apples
to England and to many centres on
the Continent is expected to be
',wavier this year than ever experi-
enced, according to J. R. Martin,
manager of the foreign freight de-
partment of the Canadian Pacific
Expseass Company. About three
years ago the practice of sending
Canadian apples to the Old Country
as Christmas gifts became popular,
and the shipment erieh year have
correspondingly increased.
Facilitiea at the Eastern Public
Cattle Market in Montreal have
been augmented by the addition of
a new export cattle building, which
was opened recently. This new
building is considered one of the
finest of its kind on the continent
and has accommodation for 50 car-
loads of cattle. By the arrange-
ments of 25 cattle chutes on each
side of the main alley -way, a train
of 26 cars can be unloaded at each
side of the building.
According to the western farmer
a feature of the present year's har-
vest was the. use of "combines"—
the combine reaper and thresher
now being made by several imple-
ment manufacturers in this country.
One farmer using this outfit claims
to have covered from 36 to 50 acres
per day at a cost of 45 cents an
acre. He says that they save the
cost of twine and about nine -tenths
of the labor of harvesting. The im-
plementstcost about $2,000.

SOYBEAN VARITIES AND THb.IR

There are a great many varieuies
of soybeans listed' by Amman
seedsmen, but only a limited number
of these are euiteble for Canadian
farms, During the epaet three years

'eel into four classes, determined by
the length of time which they have
taken to mature. The varietal mat-
urity groups with the outsamling var-
ieties in the group are 05 follows.
Very early varieties maturing in 1q5
to 112 days make the first gralie,
the best of which are Fairly Brown

ond maturity group which class as
early varieties, and which take from
113 to 120 days to mature, tho best
representatives have been Yellow

medium varieties which constitute
the third group, and which take 121
and 128 days to mature, Early Kor-
ean, Manchurian, Black Eyebrow, 0.
A. 0, 2.11. and Green have given the
best results at Haerow. In 'the fourth
group, requiring 129 to 136 days to
mature, the varieties A. K. Hoosier
and Ebony have shown rip the best
under conditions at Harrow. As
these varieties differ widely in mat-
urity, care must be taken in chimes-
ing one that is suitable for Hu! d:s-
triet in which itis to be groWn.
Soybeans can be grown for hay,
si'age or seed.. Under favorable
conditions, the earlier varieties will
yield from 1 to 11/2 tons of hay or
12 to 20 bushels of seed per acre,
while the later varieties will yield
from 11/2 to 21/2 tons Of hay or 18

Soybeans will grow on practically
any type of soil, but the best rasulte

ually suitable for soybeans. How-

To be certain that the radiator is
free from water in emptying the
cooling system run a wire through
the cock Or drain' hole. Radiators
become clogged with scale, end if
this sediment js Mot disturbed the
water cannot drain out. Joggling
the car- and idling the engine will

CAUSES OF SQUEAKY BRAKES.
The three principal causes of
squeaks of brakes are: Unequal pres-
sure on the drum, caused by improp-
er adjustment of the bands; badly
scored drums, allowing partielee of
metal to peel off and imbed in the
lining, and rivets in contact with the
brake drum or particles of gravel int,
bedded id the lining.

was the terrific light that this fish
put up. This was so spectacular and
so fast and furious, accompanied by

we had no time to take a piettare df it.
