Instead of going through tl
twelve lessons of the, quarter, one h
one, in this review, let us look
certain other aspects of the Seri

The Land is prominent througl
out. What land? There is only on
land on earth that God, as it wee
spells • p , th
portion of th ' • •

L. Again, the lesson on Ruth and
Naomi (Book of Ruth) shows an ls-
raelitish family leaving the Land to
find help elsewhere, and finding' only
death and disaster, When the, moth

well er of the family and the daughter-
in-law, Naomi and Ruth, MTh: back
of into the Land, they come MO such
fal- blessing as they never dared hope for

in The Christmas Leeson, "The Sa-
me viour's Birth" (Luke 2:3-20), shows
tan us the Land honored above all The
the rest of the earth as it is made the
birthplace of the Son of God.
re e A study of the people chosen nut
of from all the world for peculiae bless -
01 ings reveals God's purpose that le-
ant reel shall have temporal, earthly
ars prosperity if she does His will, in
the faith in Him, and dwells in the Land
lga He has given her. Israel, meeting
these conditions, is promise 1 earthly

ed that the hart of man legitimately

re- Isreel had these blessings, while she

an We must distinguish between God's
of promiees to Israel and to the Church
ee thug ',rightly dividing the Word of
of truth." The Church is na promised
0- earthly or temporal prosperity if she
'd abides in Christ, but rather persecu-
ef tion and sufferings and even death as
a result of faithfulness.

Y by character studies. Who nre the

from that of the hundreds of other
flatilto WOInen ia the kraal, but ORM
at a first glanne, It was easy to see
that she was different. Unmistak-
ably eine was Queen. Por not only
had she dignity and preseuce, a, cer-
tain self-possession and Carriage that
marked her Oilt as 11 WOlitall or 011 -
power and position, hilt she had
that 11111011 greater essential of all
modern queen: an eesentlal gracious -
nem This certain air nt graciousness
of hers, I discovered later, WI111 known
to all the white settlers of Strazi/and.
Bidding me ellevl into the royal
hut, she had a mat placed for me to
sit upon and immediately began -to
tell me how distressed she was that I
had had to walk so far in the swelter-
ing sun. And then just as a. modern
European Queen might have done,
she began to ask me questions about
Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban
and England. , . an in a soft.
crooning sort Of voice, and with a
smile and radiance that somehow •
seemed to nit the drab commonplace
of her Inquiries into subjects of a
really first-rate intimarz,, and magni-
tude.
And then, perhaps, the modern
Queen in her began to suoside a little
in favor of a more maternal concern.
She seemed perplexed and a tittle
perturbed that I ago, not married—
and who dW 1 think I should eventu-
ally marry; a South African girl or
an English girl? Almos1 us quickly
and decisively RS eb. put the qu'.o-
tio 5l, seemed to rxpect me to an-
swer it,
Yet it surprised ine still more, 1
think, to hear her brush aside all
possibility of my beeptulng married
to a South African girl.
"No," she laid down emphatieally;
"You. marry an Einelish girl, and then
nglIsh gill will alwaess want to
make you go home to England. in
England 1,011 will see your mother
--
and all mothers like to see their
sons."
But there were plenty more sub-
jects still to talk about. There was
the Prince of Wales, for inetance and
her tedorima affirmation that never
had she seen such a infusion; uniform
as the Ono worn by the Prince when
he came to swazaand. And the crops,
and the ralne. . tor hours., It Peel:te-
ed, we could have pour on talking
about the rains. Did I think that the
rain which fell last night would
reach the natives on the low veld?
No! Quickly the smile vanished and
her brow knit into a midden, solemn
concern. This was going to prove a
very bad time for the natives On OW
low veld; never had she known so
little rain for so lat.. a period in the
year. And only when the talk turned
to the possibility of her ever visiting
England, and her confession that she
felt alarm even at crossing the river
in R pontoon, VMS it possible -ler hel1
to senile again.
Then intervening In the conversa-
tion came 11 servaet with a howl of
kr beer, Taking a long draught
herself, the Qllaell handPd the howl
to me, and I took long draught
also. Nor was tile the only interrup-
tion. Two little children, naked ex-
cept for a single string of beads about
their loins, came in and climbed about
tho Queen's neck,
"They are the little prince and
princess," came the awed whisper of
the interpreter at tny side, "None
but children of royal blood ere al-
lowed at the side of the Queen."
But the real Interruption came
when a young man, dressed in a sin-
gle, Bowing native robe and looking
to be about 25 years of age, suddenly
crawled into the hut and said in a
rich resonant English: -Good morn-
ing! You have come, 1 believe, from
the South African newspapers to 8ee
how we are getting on here?"
Again—as In The cese of the Queen
—I had no doubt who was addressing
me. It was Sobbliza, the king. Hie
white teeth gleaming vividly in the
half-light of the heavily -shaded hut,
and a frank mire lighting up his
face, he stood shaking tne by the
hand with almost the easy, buoyant
air of an English under -graduate.
And it was not long, I found, before
Sobhuza was leading and maintaining
the conversation—even though no

"Olt, no; oh, no," he smiled at ale
immediately. "I don't think so; I
