A •despatch from London says: Aerial warfare was waged on Fri- day on the largest scale in its his- tory, and under adverse circum- stances from the standpoint of the weather. British airmen, buffeting banks of snow in the air, swept over cities of Northern Belgium held by the Germans ;And dropped bombs on Ostend, Bruges and other places. Thirty-four aeroplanes teed sea- planes of the British navy took part ie the operations, and all of them later returned safely to their base' without casualties to their drivers, although two- of the, machines were claniagecl. The raid was made in order to prevent the development of submarine bases and establishments which might further endanger Bri- tish warships and merchantmen. Although no submarines were seen, the British Admiralty state- ment indicates that the raid had satisfactory results, for consider- able damage is said to have been done to German gun positions, rail- way linee and railway stations, The Ostend .station is reported to have been set on fire, and that at Bien- lcenberghe to have been breqty dam- aged. German nine -sweeping ves- sels at Zeebrugge also came in for a hail of bombs, but the damage clone to them has not been stated, A£ vat ions points the air'neeil Were received by the Germans with fir- ing from anti -aerial guns and rifles. None of the airmen are re- ported by the Admiralty 40 have been wounded in these attacks. One of the machines, driven by Flight Commander Claude Gra- hame -White, among the most intre- pid of the British fliers, fell into the sea while returning to its base after the raid was over, and the aviator had a narrow escape from drown- ing. Fortunately for h.i+ni a cruiser was nearby and picked him up, and then towed his aeroplane into port.

Verse 1, Israel went out against the Philistines to battle. -The Phil- istines were last mentioned in Judges, chapters 13 and 10. It wa evident that Israel was not able t throw off the yoke of the Pliilis tines. This servitude lasted fo forty ,years (Judg. 13, 1). It teruti nated about the twentieth year o Samuel's judgeship' (1 Sam, 7. 13 14). Eben-ezer, "stone of help," and Gilgal, "heap -of -stones,' had a spe- cial significance (Josh. 4, 20). Eben- ezer is at the head of the Vale of Sorek, where Israel defeated the Philistines (see next lesson, 1 Sam. 7. 12), Aphek means fortress. It was one of the strongholds of Samaria in northern Sharon, where the Philis- tines assembled twice, once before they invaded Israel and once be fore they crossed the plain of Es- drae]on. It was not far from the Mizpah of Benjamin, and was un- doubtedly the Aphek of Josh. I2, Is. 3. 'People means the army.

Well-known cases of runners were Cushi and Ahimaaz (2 Sam. 18. 19-31), and Asahel (2 Sam, 2, 18), There were also running footmen who accom- panied the chariots, These run- ners became professionals, as is in- dicated in 2 Sam. 15. 1 ; 1 Kings 1. 5. s His clothes rent, and with earth o upon his head. -Indicative of bitter grief.

It was natured, therefore, thee our conversation should turn chiefly, upon Russia's oew and great move- ment.

The result of this new law, even after a few months' of operation, is very strik- ing. Our hospitals in Petrograd never used to have 'sufficient room for patients. At the present mo- ment, in spite of the fact that, many a wonnded soldier is sent here to be tended, we have always plenty of room for our patients.
