The angel of God—The divine presence which manifested itself in the pillar of cloud called "Jehovah" (Exod. 13, 21; 14. 24), and sometimes ."the Angel of God,'' as here. Stood behind them—Took a fixed position between them and the en- emy dnring the night. 20. And there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night—While this translation is the More accurate, the Ring James Ver- sion, by the insertion of the phrases "to them" and "to these," makes the intended meaning of the passage a little plainer: "And it was zioloucl and darkness to them (the Egyp- tians), but it gave light by night to these (the Israelites)." 21. Caused the sea to go back by a strong .east wind --Not an unusual phenomenon at this place. It is quite possible that the water a of the Red Sea once extended as far north RS the Bitter Lakes; if so, there must have been many points at which it was exceedingly shallow. A. strong southeaa.6 wind, 'therefore, by driving the waters of the lakes northward, together with. a simul- taneous ebb of the tide in the lower gulf, might easily produce the effect described in the text. ' 24. , The morning watch—Between 2 a.m. and sunrise. Jehovah looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians—In P.ealm 77, verses 18-20, where an epitome of the events here narrated seems to be given, the meaning of the words of this verse is explained as follows: The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings_ lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. Thy way was in the sea. . . Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand ef gases and Aaron, 25. Took off—Literally, bound, hampered in their turning. Theydrove them heavily—Liter- ally, , `And made them to drive heavily." The reference is to the wheels, which sinking into the moist ground from which the waters had receded were clogged with sand and mud. . 27. Overthrew—Literally, shook off; the hosts were scattered here and there. 28, 39.—"In the morning watch, at is natural time for atmospheric changes, but in • obedience to the rod of Moses, the furious wind veered or fell, and the sea returned to its accustomed limits; and first, as the' sands berleath became satur- ated, the chariots -were overturned and the mail -clad charioteers went down 'like lead,' and then the hiss- ing line of foam raced forward and closed around and over the shriek- ing mob which was the pride and strength of Egypt only an hour be- fore. "But, as the story repeats twice over, with a very, natural and glad reiteration, 'The children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall untothem on tbeir right hand and on their left' " (Expositor's 31. Great -work which Jehovah did —This wonderful deliverance naturo ally made a deep impression upon the Israelites, Believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses—But when they turn- ed away from this,the scene of their marvellous deliverance, and again faced the stern realities and hard- ships of the wilderness, their faith was all too soon displaced by dis- trust and diseontent.

Not only because, as the highest officer of the Grand Trunk Pacific, he. is called the counaellor of the Grand Trunk official family. Still, that is not tlie•only reason why the first general freight" and passenger division point east of the western termirrus of the new rail- way should be' called after the good c•ounselator of the -official family. He was asked to be the godfather of many •western towns --towns which look calmly on huge glaciers and ruehing torrents, on mighty A. W.

And mow comes the reason why the last town—and most deekledly not the least—earee :bla be named after the great man who is -quick to rectignize good work, and just as quick to clothe criticism in ellenee. "Serve the othens firet,". wee his motto. And that is how they have Edson and Watrous and Biggar and Wain- wright, not to forget Melville, 'mined after the great man, Charles Melville Hays, in whose, brain the whole Western scheme originated. It was all so characteristic of Al - fired Waldron Smithera too -with to be the last godfather on the West- ern lin.• But we must speak oi Smithers, the man. Hie. modesty, has been hinted at above. Forty years ago when he was a youth 01 23, he join- ed the London Stock Exchange, and remained a member until four years ago, when he resigned, to devote his energies to the development of railro,add in Canada. •Being the son of the late William. Henry Smithers of the Bank of England, it seems natural that be should be recognized as lb financial authority throughout, the British Effipire. In 1895 he became is director of the Grand Trunk, later being elected viee-presi•clent and chairman. England stilt 'claims ranch of his attention, he being a director of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, and cheirma,nsof the Eng lash Association of, American, Share and BondholderS. And apart from all this, from his interest in things of national im- part, he is possibly the most inter - eking in his private life, Children ase his weakness, and wherever he is, he is seen surronncled by laugh- ing tots, all delighted to be enter- tained by the "big ina•n of finance."

Capital aceount expenditures show is material increase. The total te July 3181 was $13,014,270, as compared with only $3,897,386 in the same period of 1912. The in- crease was attributable te $6,516,- 705 paid in railway subsids, main- ly to lam Canadian Northern, and to a three -million increase of pub- lic workIs expenditure, including railways. For- the same reason the net debt during July Wag increased propor- tionately. At the end of July the aggregate was $298,009,1378, -which, however, is $21,000,000 less than at the, end of July, 1912.

GOD AND THE REIGN OF LAW lie Knows So Fully That There Can Never Be But One Thing That lie Can Do With him is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. ---James i., 17. Few things have done so much to upset traditional religious concep- tionin recent times as the discov- ery,of what we know as the Reign of Law. If God exists We must be- lieve that He is free, and that He has the power to do whatever he may desire at any time. And yet here are We told by those who ought to know that the activities of this universe are everywhere proceed- ing according to certain laws which are toliversal in their application and absolute, in their operation. The life of the world, In other words, is determined and permits of the intrueion of no particle of spiritual freedom. And this means, if it means anything, that God does not exist; or, if He does exist, that He is not the triumphant being to whom men have for ages addresiied their worship, and their prayers. Such seeziis the essential eenflict between the theological idea of God and the scientific idea of la. But is the case reallysee Lad as it ap- pears? Let us imagine -by sva,y of analogy that this nation is suddenly con- fronted by A Serious Public Crisis, At once we speculate /113 to what certain statesmen wilt, are in posi- tionof responsibility will do. Of one , man, it is promptly sa'd, ",Flea -yen only knows what stand he Will take. You never can tell what he is going to say or do. First he's here, and . then he's there, and again he's soniewhere . else. Yoe can't lay down any law or prin- ciple by which his actions are guid- ed, He simply ddea as fancy strikes him at the moment." Of a certain other public man, however, very different things are said. "011, we know what he will do, all. right! You can alweea tell where he sill stand on every question. Why, it's ;lust as sure that he will fight this measure ,as 18 is sure that the sun will riso to,inorrow morning. This man can't choose. He -must do this or else belie the tinearying roomal of forty years of public service." Thus do we speak of these two men. The one is weak, erratic, un- principled and thus hopelessly un- certaim The other is strong, high.. minded, eteadfast, end thus bound, as it were, by some iron law of recti- tude. With human beinge, in other words, the field of choice in pro- blems of individual conduct becomes restricted as we mouet the heights of character. The clearer is man's visioe the saner his mind; the purer his heart the more he feels himself caught in some great law of moral necessity which determines for hip his line of action. Certainly this' is our own experience if we ender, stand ourselves aright. When we are at our worst morally We are weak and irresolute Lind thus liable to do anything,. When WC are at our best, however, we feel moved, ' as it were, by somegreat newer not ourselves. At such a moraent nt rap tn re Choice is fleeted Uri. We feel—we know—that there is only one thing thatove can do, and we forthwith ;to it I Just here do we see how idea, of God can be reconciled with the idea of Law.. What is partially true of the beet men, what is true el 118 at our best moments, is wholly true of God all the time, God kriews His own mind. God is moved by one un- deviating 'plorpoae Arid this one thing is what we •actually see going on all of the 'thrie in the. manifold prOcesses of the univetse. Natural law, as read ad registered by the scientist, is simply the way in which God in His perfeet 'wisdom always acts. And God always este in this way because He is His free- dom is nome other than Divine Ne- cessity. , Is this not the solution of our doilies? If any God is unworthy of oar worship it is the God who is as capricious LIS a child: lf any Ged is werthy, <if our worship ft is the Cod ;the is the ,samgyerberclaY, to- day and forever. "With him is 00 vatieblemets, neither sisselew of turning," In His we may put, our trust --Rev. John ilaynes Holmes,
