The glory of -Jehovah- Quite evidently the reference here is not to the glory of the cloud, mentioned in verse 10 'below, but to the miracle- of providing food.

And Mona said unto Aaron - Aaron is still the • spokesmen for Moses, who had a physical dif- ficulty of speech which he apparent- ly never overcame: 'And Moses ,said unto Jehovah, 0, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hest spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue" (Exod. 4. 10). 12. At even -Literally, between the two evenings, that is, in the late afternoon. 14. A small, round thing, small as the hoar frost on the ground - The word translated "round thing" may also be rendered `Take." ' 15. What is it? -0r, Is it manna; Hebrew, man hu. For a descrip- tion of the manna, compare Num. 11, 7-9. In looking for a natural explanation of the feeding of the Israelites in the desert, some dem- mentatora have assumed that the manna was a natural desert pro- duct, the exudation of a desert tree Still common and formerly much more abundant throughout the Arabian peninsula. The exudation referred to is described by travel- lers as a glutinous, waxlike sub- stance whieh in the morning after its first appearance is white, chang- ing rapidly, te4 dirty yellow color; it melts quickly -in the sun, and be- fore the day is over is absorbed in the ground; it appears each morn- ing during certain inonthe af the year and is sweet te the taste'be- ing used for foosl in times of fam- ine. A more recent miggestion identifies the manna, with • desert lichen; grayish -yellow in ccior, which grows in great abundance Zin rocks and stones of the de,sert. When fully matured, the leases curl up, the Plant loosens from the rock and is blosvri about by the wind, being gathered ultimately in heaps in the ravines and sheltered places not unlike the leaves of ,au - stump, though of course very much smaller. This plant is a not un- common substitute for corn among the natives in the Steppe region of I southwestern Asia, being ground and baked like corn. The first of these suggested explanations Would harmonize with the description in Numbers so far as tlie size and gen- eral appearance of the manna is concerned, bet the narrative here clearly implies a sapernatural pro- vision, on account of the large quantity which was needed.

In one form or another it appears in a hun- dred different places in the pages of the Old Testament, and it is car- ori fe d il?evieitraenseeainnito.°51vLaPrilo.eictsi°pua8rtksiloldf the New Testament. It is the clear cut stunning up in 'commandment form .of that which lies at the heart of the teaching of prophet and aps tle alike -that religion must find its ultimate expression in the moral life and that the religious -man must show forth his faith, in the last an- alysis, ha term e df right relations with Ms fellows. The significant feature of this text is to be fennel in the first word. "The good,"it may be assumed, we understand; bat it is by no means so, certain that we under- stand what is our duty toward this great ideal of the soul. The wond "love," however, leaves the mat- ter in no doubt -Whatsoever. We are not to ,be rnerely interested in the good, or study it, or like it, or praise it, or seek atter it. All of these forms of action are unsatis- factory. We are to "love" the good, which means that we are to identify Ourselves with it with all that intense passion of allegiance which is at once the inspiration and the glory of The Consecrated Life. What the subject means by love of his king, what -the patriot means by love of country, what man means by lova of woman, what David meant by love of Jonathan "sur- passing the love of woman" -all this religion means by love of the good. To love the good is to serve it gladly, freely and absolutely. It is to rejoice when it is present and to mourn when it is absent. It is to be exalted when it is hon- ored and etricken when it is dis- honored or defamed. It M to yield everything to the cause of right -- time, -strength, fortune, --health, We Invite 1 You to inspect our stock of Standard Silverware. We guarantee the quality and our prices • will suit you. Lord Strathconai comfort, happiness -even life it- self, if ever "the last full measure of devotion" must be 'paid. • This is whet it is to "love the good." And it ie this, and all of this that we must do if we would fulfil the perfect will of God. Our text, it is to be noted, is not a sug- gestion or a requeet or even an appeal, but a command. It is a "decree which may not pass;" a law which must be obeyed; a thing • which must be done. Other matters -prayers,- ceremoniee, observances --may -or may ndt be heeded, ac- cording to -the temperament or the habits or the desires of the persons concerned. But this one thing, to "love the good," we must do re- gardless of conditions. OUT whole life must be consecrated to the good. We must enlist the lull ser- vice ,of eur hands and hearts in defenee of the good. We must seek every opportunity to give our all Inc the sake of advancing the cause of the good, if only by A Single Hair's Breadth. Nor is.this to be regarded- as some especial crown of our endeavors, some tare deed for some one day of heroism, the maximuon. attainment for some one "single hour of glori- ous life." On the contrary, it 'is to be regarded as the dull and com- monplace routine of every day, as • the minimum of God's demand sip - on us, as the least that we must do if we would riot fail utterly. God, I believe, will pardon ns much. He will forgive us our ignorance, im- patience, errors, -.excesses, -even sins. But I cannot believe that He will easily or lightly overlook our failure to "love the good" with all our mind and heart and soul and strength. If we love this, as the • knight his king or the disciple his Master, much 'Will be forgiven us. But if this one thing we do not do I know of little that can avail us in the end. --Rev. John Haynes Holmes. ITALIAN CENSUS.

State of Kansas: A despatch from Winnipeg says: The worst electrical storm that has visited this portion of the country for years, accompanied by a sixty - mile gale, swept across from Bran- don to the eastern boundary early on Friday. Hundreds of thousands of dollars damage was done to buildings in Winnipeg, and all the towns in the Province. The har- vest had just striated, and the dam- age to the ripening grain cannot be estimated. Electric light plants, railroads, telegraph, and telephone lines were put out of commission, and several towns will be without electric light for several days. Meagre reports coming over dam- aged wires indicate that central and southeastern Saskatchewan suffered great ,damage. Fred. 0.

The Egyptians Are In a Class by Themselves in Courtesy. The cordial word between master and man, the mixture of unclouded assurance and deference with which the poorest and most unlettered ap- proach the rich and the learned; the dignity on both sides, which permits equality and a hap,py fel- lowship, throughout the Egyptian villages visited by Mr. S. H. Leed- er' he often. eomments on in "Veil- edMysteries of Egypt." He tells of the graceful habit of speech among the poor fellaheen, which lends a touch of poetry to lives a toil and drudgery. It is extremely interesting, and sometimes amusing, to see the in- genuity and persistency with which two friends, especially after a long absence, will sustain 0 competition in courtesy. Mey heap one com- pliment upon the other, in /obedi- ence to the command of the Koran. "Salaam Aleikum." "Aleikum Salaam." "With you be peace, and the mercy of God, and His blessing." "May ,your day be blessed." - "May your day be bless.ed as yes- terday." "May your prosperity be in- creased." And so on. There is something in the Arabic language which lends itself to a rhythmic repetition and phrase expansion.. Mr. Talbot Kelly, who knows the out-of-the- way people of Egypt so well, from his travels as an artist, speaks of this "Old -World courtesy.' "I am frequently salaamed by a native," he says, "who asks, 'Does your work prosper?' " 'Thanks to Allah,' I reply. " `God increase your prosperity! Our Lord and the Prophet know the good men.'" _ --0 Using Him: "Lie still there and I won't hurt you. All I want is your money and your jewebs, and then I'll gill."
