of the past which he remembersso
well he recalls to the king the exempla
of his great predecessor, Nebuchad-
nezzar, and the humbling of his pride
(see the story told at length in ch. 4).
Belshazzar might have taken that
lesson to heart, New his pride, too,
will be humbled. His doom is pro-
nounced in the handwriting on the.

In v, 25 the writing contains four
words, the first word being repeated.
In the interpretation there are only
three words, the third from the Mae
root as the corresponding word in v,
25, but in a different form. So also
in the Greek and Latin versions, The
words seem to have each a double

INTROPUCTIoN—There are two an-

and the and of the Babylonian empire,
with which the tory told in this
chapter inay be compared, The first

I. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL,
vs. 1-16.
Belshazzar made a great feast .. .
and drank wine. The feasting and
wine -drinking are represented as un-
usual and ostentatious. The Babylon-
ians, however, are said bp one ancient
writer to have been given to excess
in such matters. On this night dan-
ger threatened the city, and the king
and his lords night have been much
better employed in its defence. They
seem to . have been confident in the
city's strength, and in their ability to
repel the invaders. It has been sug-
gested that there was treachery within
the walls, and that aBbylon was be-
trayed into the hands of Cyrus and
his generals. in any case feasting and
drunkenness do not help men to guard
'and defend the honor and safety of
their homes, whether i - times of peace
or of war.
To the Jewish writer of this story
there was an element of sacrilege in
the use of the golden and silver ves-
sels, once consecrated to the service of
God in the temple at Jerusalem (see
ch. 1: 2 and Jer. 52: 19), These ves-
sels were returned by Cyrus to the
company of exiles whom he permitted
to go back to Jerusalem, and to re-
build the temple, Ezra 1: 7-11.
The s-ord "father" nay quite pro-
perly have been used for "grand-
fathee," or "ancestor" (compare Gen.
28: 13 and 1 Kings 15: 11). The pres-
ence of women at the feasts, at least
among the Persians, is vouched for by
Herodotus, The Septuagint, the an-
cient Greek version, adds to verse 4
the words, "but the eternal reel they
praised not who hath power over their
spirit." How could Wren whose minds
Were befuddled by drink, in such a
scene of riot, praise the eternal God?
Compare v. 23.
In the full light of the candlestick
there appeared a mysterious hand-

She remembered the great reputation
of Daniel, who must, at this time,

Farm Notes
FEEDING OF DAIRY CATTLE
Experiments would indicate that
there is little to choose between Man -
PIS and sugar beote for the feeding
of dairy cattle, A test made at the
Agaesiz, British Columbia, Experi-
mental Farm last year indicates that
slightly better yields of milk were ob-
tained from the use of sugar beets,
which, however, were offset by the
greater difficulty of growing the beets.
The experiment was conducted during
February and March. Each cow under
test was fed, in addition to a ration
of, mixed grains, alfalfa hay and en-
silage, thirty pounds of .roots,. The
experiment procedure was on the three
periods plan. During the first and
third periods one of the two roots Was
Used in the ration during the second
or intermediate period the other rot
was fed. Tho results of the test are
given in the report of . the Superin-
tendent of the Station for last year,
published by the Dept, of Agriculture
at Ottawa. Ten cows were used in

is shown that to produce 100 pounds
of milk there was required in addition
to the other feeds, 115.03 pounds of

yield slightly less crops and are more
diffioult to harvest, Mr. Hicks the
Superintendent of the Station regards
it as wise practice to adhere to the
beets for the feeding of milking Bowe,
growing mangels rather than sugar
beets for the feeding of milking cows.

Negroes negligently balancing in side-

donkeys with riders, with none, with

They creep into one's affections; it
is easy to see each one as an integral
feature of the household, in which he
is indeed a most important poseessiol.
Such toil as he undertakes should
meet with a greater appreciation. But
appreciated or not, the donkey shows
no resentment, meets all with patience,
and sets forth daily on his round of
duty. Whatever the burden, however
long the journey, you cannot fail to
be impressed by the courage, the
'resolution and endurance shown by
these sturdy little animals. They push
along with bent heads through the
beating rain and wind, moisture
streaming from their shaggy coats,
but still plucky and willing, though
maybe their ears may droop a' trifle
sadly. Bright eyes, ears pricked, gay,
in the hot sunshine, little pattering
hoofs hurrying toward their.goal. In
rain or shine, in heat or cold, willing,
faithful, enduring.
And here in the East, pictures come
to thought, of Mary the gentle mother
riding down to Bethlehem; and of
Jesus as he entered into Jerusalem,—
"Lowly and riding Upon an ass"—as
the prophet foretold. Here in Tangier
today; as through all the intervening
centuries, patient and gentle, the don-
keys carry their burdens in honorable
service.

Canada and Australia
Sydney Bulletin: Canada doesn't go
in for compulsory trade -unionism, or
basic -wage commissions, or arbitra-
tion courts, or anything like that. It
believes that the less Government
meddles in Industry the better for
both employers and employees; and
as warrant for its belief it can point
to prosperous industries, recent wage
increases in many trades, low unem-
ployment returns and comparative
freedom from strikes. In 1917 the
number of disputes was 70, the num-
ber of workmen involved 22,683, the
number of working days lost 165,288.
Australia, with its expensiveapparat-
us- of industrial tribunals, had 441
strikes, 200,757 involved employees
and 1,731,581 lost working days in
that same year.. In short, Canada is
beating us badly, and we ought to be
too proud to let Canada beat u$ badly,
though not too proud to learn from its
example.
