BOTTOM OF `aat A FAMI1Y RE EBY
PAVPD IRON ORt
FOR MANY YEARS
`8ewtootl Reef in Stormy Superior
Brown With Many Thousands of ,
Tons of the Mineral
A veritable open pit iron mine of
mens richness lies off the shores
0f Keweenaw Point, which juts out
into Lake Superior from the southern
shore a distance of fifty miles. Saw-
tooth Reef, off Keweenaw Point a
retie, and throwing its cruel points up
from a hundred fathoms of water to
!thin twenty feet of the surface, has
caught and held many ships that havo
lost their course in thick fogs on dark
nights or have gone ashore because
of deviations of the compass. The
steamer George S. Baker of the Steel
Trust fleet, which was picked up by
Sawtooth Reef during a dense fog
recently, went on the rocks because
of the compass "running away," The
same was true in the case of the
Moreland, which was destroyed on
Sawtooth Reef three years ago, al-
though the Moreland went on the
rocks during a clear, cloudless, and
fogless night, according to residents
of Eagle River, who sat on the porches
of their homes and watched the big
ship swing in ontp the reef. Whether
it is the jettisoned cargoes of iron ore
that cause this deviation of the com-
pass cannot be said.
From the ill-fated Moreland, which
was just off Eagle River on her maid-
en trip, nearly 12,400 tons of ore were
Jettisoned. A cargo of 10,500 tons
was thrown overboard from the holds
of the George S. Baker. A half-dozen
other ships which have stranded along
the Keweenaw west and north shore
have contributed large cargoes. The
steamer Waldo gave 8,C00 tons of ore
toward this "under the lake" mine at
Gun Rock, ten miles off the point. A
score of wooden ships which have
gone down around the point in twenty
years or so havo lost their cargoes
there. It is estimated that lying loose
in the waters of Superior about the
shores of 'Keweenaw are from 100,000
to 150,000 tons of perfectly good iron
ore, all to be had for the taking. The
i!"copper peaihrula is rusted, along its
hones, from the wastings of the jet.

During this period he smoked 628,713
cigars, Of this number 43,692 were
presented to him by friends. For the
remaining 581,021 he spent the sum
of $10,200.
He had bought 86 pairs of trousers,
hich cost him $460; 75 jackets and

$265. His omnibus and train fares

On the Trees of Belgium.
About 800,000 starving Belgians
have taken refuge in Holland; four
times as many have gone to England,
and a number equal to one-quarter
the entire population of Holland. If
these poor people could have fled in
families their sufferings would be
less. But that is not the case. A
correspondent of The London Globe
writes of seeing the refugees stand-
ing gazing at trees on the roadside.
When he went near he found that on
the tree slips of paper were nailed,
which read as follows: "Pierre —,
your wife passed this way; she will
wait for you at Rozendaal"; a mile
farther the salve message was repeat-
ed on another tree. So the refugees
wander from tree to tree, seeking
news of their loved ones. This writ-
er saw a father carrying; an infant
and leading two more cbildree: all
crying, and hurryih,e, from tree to tree
in hopes of good news.
War Recoveries.
Berlin has at present about 1,100
hospitals for the wounded, the small-

larger ones have from 40 to 600 beds.
A very large proportion of the
wounded, it is said, are soon discharg-
ed as again 11'1 for duty and return to
the front. No definite figures aro
available, but an army surgeon who
has had large experience both in the
field and in the base and reserve hos-
pitals, estimated that about 70 per
cent. of the wounded were returning
or would return to duty, only 30 per
cent. being permanently unfitted for
military service.

Lesson IV.—First Quarter, For
Jan. 24, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the.Lesson, Judg. vii, 1-8,16-
23—Memory Verso, 7—Golden Text,
Zeoh. iv, 6—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The call of Gideon to be the Lord's.
representative in the deliverance of
Israel at this time was made very
plain in our last lesson. Today's les-
son and the chapter following tell of
the actual deliverance and that under
Gideon the country was in quietness
forty years (chapter viii, 28). In these
three chapters Gideon's name is men-
tioned thirty-nine times, but some
name of God is used sixty times. In
all things He must be pre-eminent. It
is Godi who worketh; we are only in
strumeuts. Interesting references to
this great deliverance, with an onward
look to a greater deliverance' by a
greater Deliverer, are found in'lsa, ix,
4-7; x, 20, 27; Ps. Ixxxiii, 0.
When the Spirit of the Lord clothed
Himself with Gideon and he blew the
trumpet 32,000 from several of the
tribes were gathered unto him, which
seemed a very small number to go
against au' army which was without
number and as grasshoppers for mai-
titude (Chapter vi. 5, 33-35). According
.,to Dent. xxx11, 30, they'would, howev-
er, be equal to 32,000,000 of the enemy
or even 1.00,000,000, but the Lord said
to Gideon, "The people that are with
thee are too. many for Me to give the
Midianites into their hands, lest Israel
vaunt themselves against file," and so
all the fearful and afraid ones were
requested to return home (verses 2. 3).
This was according to the law In D'eut.
xx, 8, and reduced Gideon's army to
10.000.
I am interested to know what Gideon
thought when the Lord said "The peo-
ple are yet too many" or if he made
any remarks when he saw the 10,000
dwindle dower to only 300, but 5 shall
have to wait. The lesson of II Chton.
xiv, 11, is strongly imin'essedupon me
—"Lord: it is nothing with Thee to
help. whether with meaty or with them
that have no power." As then, so now,
God is seeic'jg the whole hearted ones
whom He can use. IIe is ready to sire
all who will come to Him and not will-
ing that any should perish (John vi,
37: 11 Pet.'iii, 0), but for service it is
still tree that of the many who arc
culled 1'ew are willing' to be Itis Choice
ones. The cost of discipleship scents
Ino great !Luke xiv, 03). if all the
fearful ones ;)ud the ease loving ones
in oar C1111rnhe8 were turned down
would there be only one in a hundred
read)' to deny self utterly?
An interesting incident of encourego-
emit for Gideon is found fu verses
0-14, for, tbuu t h listeners are not sep-
poseil to hear any good of themselves,
this was rertiiul3 an exception, for
It was of the Lord. both the drealn and
the interpretation and the time of tell-
ing it Now, try to .imagine Gideon's
advanee— three companies of 100 each
end each man with a trumpet in one
hand and a concealed lam) in the oth-
er, Was there ever anything SO seem-
ingly ridiculous ie the annals of war-
fare? But IIe did it who uses things
that are not to bring to naught thing
that are. tie filled with food thousands
of hungry people by means of a few
loaves and fishes which a little boy
had. IIe overthrew an army of 185,-
H)0 by one angel. His name is "Won -
As
"Look On .lie and do likewise.
As 1 do so shall ye .do" (verse 17).
These are the Captain's orders, and to
as today the word is "Follow Thou
110I"
Not worldly ways nor schemes of
any kind to draw or hold the people,
young or old, but just the clear note
of the gospel trumpet and the lamp of
a consistent Christian life,for the life
is the light. When the 300 lights shone
forth, and the trumpets sounded, and
the cry arose on the midnight air "The
sword of the Lord and of Gideon,"
and every man stood in his place round-
about the camp, then the host of the
enemy ran and cried and fled and slew
each other, and the Lord wrought the
victory (verses 19.23). It 1s still true
that the weapons' of our warfare are
not carnal,, but mighty through God to
the pulling down of strongholds (II Oor,
x, 4).
There will always be faultfinders
like the men of Ephraim, and we are
apt to forget that a soft answer turn-
eth away wrath (chapter viii, 1-3; Prov.
xv, 1). ,There aro often ungrateful
scoffers who need to be taught by
thorns and briers (chapter viii, 0.9, 16,
17), and there is rarely an Abigail to
plead for the fools 'who act thus fool-
ishly (I Sam. xxv, 10, 11, 23-31). The>
wisdom of Gideon is seen in his say-
ing to those who 'desired him to rule
over them, "I will not rule over you;
* the Lord shall rule over you"
22, 23'). The folly of G Ideon is
seen in his leading `Israel to worship
an ephod instead of the Living God.
who had spoken to Israel by ,toe them
and Thumtuim in the breastplate on
the ephod (viii, 24-27; „Exµ xxvili,
6:15, 80).
Oh, the weakness and sinfulness of
our poor humanity, and how necessary
the admonition, "Let Pim that thinketh
he stancleth take heed lest he fall!"
12.)•
I Cor. x,'go, we learn again that
there is no perfection of human na-
tore but in Christ Jesus, no perfect
deliverer or ruler but Himself, no per-
fect rest for Israel: or the nations till
He shall reign lo righteousness, and
