It was moving day in Mrs. Smith's
?home, or rather, what she had called
home. The ugly dismantled look of her
apartment gave no hint of its former
coziness. Barrels and pacging cases
usurped neatness and order, and chaos
reigned supreme. But the worst was
:now over; only one day nhore and the
moving van evould back up to her door
and take away all goods and chattels
to a place of safe keeping for the sum-
mer, while she hied herself away for a
long vacation.
A hurdy-gurdy outside started to
play "Ful On My Way." and Mrs.
Smith, opening the window, recklessly
threw the munificent suis of a diene to
the unoffending son of Italy. "Take

prised man. This dime has been

There are so many ways that Dr. Chase's (Nutmeat is
useful to the soldier that it becomes invaluable to him. It
is used for chafing and skin irritation resulting from heavy

Again tate speaking tube was brought
into requisition. This time a voice, al-
most supernatural, breathed. "Have

cheap. At bargain. uuld wish to

thing but her monument of work. She
cut off conversation sharply. Would
things ever right themselves? She was
on the point of becoming discouraged
when she caught herself up, quickly,
What was the sense of becoming so
childish? Other women had gone
through this sort of thing before, And,
a result of her mercurial tempera-
ment she became as optimistic as she
had been pessimistic a moment before.
"All this disagreeableness will soon
be over," she assured herself. "and
then i know that the sun will shine on

forget everybody else, to repay tie for
all this horrid old time I have had to

with a gesture that bespoke latent his-
trionic talent, "I love the world, and
the world loves the. i ant never going

exalted nurcod she brought her toe up
sharply against a huge packing case.
She emitted a veritable howl of
pain. Good resolutions were forgot-
ten, and things spiritual. The phys-
ical turniented her with pang after
pang. It seemed as it a million nee-
dles were prodding. And then, in the
midst of her misery, the doorbell rang,
again. She jumped up, in a blind
rage, and hopped to the tube,' "No,"
she yelled down. "I do not wish any
laces, nor am I in need of soap, pow-
der or needles. I also am not in the
market for culture as evidenced by
Shakespearian revivals. But what I do
need, and demand, is immunity from
pests."
"There," she ejaculated, wrathfully,
"1 guess that will do for this time."
Horrors, what had she done? from
the depths of the cosmopolitan tube
came a voice urbane, suave, courteous

COURTEOUS attention to your needs wherever you may
travel is something you appreciate, and being a Ford
owner you can get it. You are always "among friends".
There are more than 700 Ford Dealer Service Stations through-
out Canada. These are always within easy reach of Ford owners
for gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, accessories, expert advice or
motor adjustments.
The cost of Ford Service is as remarkably low as the cost of
the car itself. Nineteen of the most called for parts cost only
$5.40. Just compare this with the cost of spare parts for other
cars and you will realize the advantage of owning a Ford.

Text of the Lesson, Dan, ill, 16.27,
Memory Verses, 17, 18—G61den Text,
lea, x1111, 2—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. I41. Stearns.
Wo shall not underetltnd this third
Shapter of Mittel apices we nave grasp-
ed in some osmium the secmud chapter.
Elie Bible must be studied as a whole,'
and well book its u whole, and yet each
as an essential part of the whole reve-
lation of God's eternal purpose by Ills
Spirit. As the heavenly bodied of our
solar system and all the systems In the
aniverso move in circles, so is it also
with God's heaveuly truths. The last
two chapters to the Bible complete the
;bele, which begins with the first two,
telling of this earth without sin or sor-
row or death. The third chapter from
the eud (Rev. xxi completes the circle
which began with Oen. iii, telling Of the
groat adversary, his beginning its rela-
tion to the earth and man and his end.
We have seen in resent lessons that
we have come in the Bible story to the
beginning at what is known as the
times of the gentiles, but this book of
Daniel covers the whole period and tells
us of the end of tblacc times, which we
taro now in the history ot'the world ap-
proaching or ere already in.
In chapter ii we have God's revela-
tion to Nebuchadnezzar cru the whole
period which began with film end will
end with the setting up of the kingdom
of heaven after the times of the gen-
tilts, a kingdom which shall never be
destroyed, hut shall stand forever, and
these things aro certain and sure (Llan.
ii, 44, 45). In tempter vii we pare the
saute period covered In 11 vision given
to Daniel and ending in the saline con-
summation (Dan. vii, 13, 1i. 271. To
a 1111/11 of the world like Ncburlm,i Isz-
ear the ,inion was eiseinatine, as are
the things represented uy gold and sil-
ver and brass 11110 10111 10 such people,
but to a wan of that like Daniel the
whole thing was represented by wild
beasts devouring eneh at bor. Chapters
iii and vi are another pair showing
what it costs to stand t'or• God in these
evil times, while chapters iv and v are
another (hair showing how God will
humble all pride, to bring to repentance
if at all possible or. If not, to bring to
everlasting punishment.
The vision of empire given to Neb-
uchadnezzar so aft'eetti that that in-
stead of making hire humble by the
honor thus conferred upon bins by the
God of heaven be bee:11110 filled with
pride and had a great image of gold
made and set up in We plain of Dura
and caused all the people of his king-
dom to assemble to worship it, threat-
ening with death in the fiery furnace
any who would dare to refuse to wor-
ship tlse image which he lead set lip.
Now here is another strange circle of
truth, for at the very end of the times
of the gentiles during the last three
and a half years after the ehurch has
been taken away there wilt he another
linage set up by the world power that
shall then be. and all who will not
worship that linage shall Ise killed
(Rev. xii1, 14181. The pride end blas-
phemy of the king of Babylon are seen
in such a saying as "Who is that God
that shall deliver you oat oe my
hands'?"- (1l1, 15.i But it will be ex-
ceeded by the biasphemy of the anti-
christ of the last days before tie shall
be sent alive to the lake of lire (Rev.
xjii and xix, 10, 201. Of all the multi-
tudes who were assembled on the plain
of Dura that day only three young
Jews dared to refuse to bow down to
the image, and that was because they
knew and worshiped the only Living
and True God. When offered a sec-
ond
ecand opportunity to bow down and thus
spare their lives they utast decidedly
refused in the glorious words of verses
17, 18. May our hearts ever cry, "Our
God whops we serve is able."
Bound hi their clothing they were
east into the burning fiery furnace,
which had been treated seven times
totter than usual, so that the flames
slew the men who east them in. But
the three young men walked about in
the furnace, unharmed, because the
Son of God was with these, and they
lost nothing but their bonds. 1 do most
heartily believe what the king's coun-
selors and great men saw when these
three came out of the furnace—that
there was no smell of fire upon them,
nor was a hair of their bead singed
(verse 27). So it will be in the last
days when some shall refuse to re-
ceive the mark of the beast or worship
him (Rev. xv). See hat verses 25-30 of
our lesson how God was glorified in
these men by the decree of tlse king
that no one should dare to speak any-
thing amiss against a God who could
deliver in this way.
The only place where Gtxl was seen
that day was bat the burning fiery ter-
nace, and wbeu God allows any of lois
pegple to pass through fiery trials of
any kind it ie that Ile may be welt
with us and in us, and Ifo will fulfill
the words of our Golden Text. In
chapter iv we see this proud king hu-
miliated, and the last word in his
worldwide epistle is "Those that walk
in pride De is able to abase" (iv, 37).
We would do well to adopt as our
own 1118 words of Paul in II Tim. iv,
18, "The Lord shall deliver me from
every evil work and will preserve me
unto fits heavenly kingdom." We
should renumber also that it is the
purpose of the Lord to atau the print
of all glory and bring into contempt
all the honorable of the earth that the
Lord 111011e may be exalted Ma. xxlii,
O1 it, 11, 17).

Postoftice officials ask that where -
ever there is an option between the
use of one or more large -denomina-

should always be given to the former.
A Dangerous Practice
The practice of carrying children on

be clone with great caution. A four-
year-old boy, Gordon Kennedy, of
Ailsa Craig was severely injured the
other day when the chain of the bic-
ycle broke.
