Golden Text—The mercy of the Lord is everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righte- ousless unto .children's children,— Psalm 103: 17 We do not always see the full :significance of events when they hap- pen, We may be overwhelmed by some factor in - the experienecof tho hour so that we fail to see :the forces which have pensioned it or the direction in which it is leading us. Not until some time has elapsed, possibly years, 'are we able to see the deeper meaning of it all and discernthe hand ce Provi •dente in it. There can be no doubt that was the case with the people of Judah and Jerusalem. When the blow fell and the nation was torn away, from its loved centre in Jerusal:n. and carried to a far foreign land it looked like a .day of unrelieved disaster, But, view- ed in the light of history and seen hi its perspective, it is more readily understood and its educative and re- •demptive• element more easily recog- nized. Throughoutthe second Quer ter's lessons this year we saw some- thing of the forces which Md inevit- ably to the disselrtion of the Jewish national life as, it had been constituted, During this paat Quorter we have seen these people in .;ail., at school, as it were, learning the deeper lessons of life from God through the prophets and teachers given to them, Then having learned—in some measure— that lesson, we have seen there trans- planted once more to the old ground in Judah. What differences can you point out in the Jewish :ife of Jerusalem in the t'e-established colony from the life of the old kingdom of Judah, as it. was .just preceding the exile? Was their religion ever again exclusively a na- tional religion? Did not this "trip .abroad" somewhat enlarge tl eir na- tionaloutlook and broaden in some -moasurt the religious outloak as well? 'God was no longer confined to Pales- tine, but the God of the whole earth. What was the effect of Ezelciel's teach- ing on their Conception of religion? Recall the emphasis Ezekiel placed on 'individual responsibility to God. The idea of getting rid of our personal ac •countability tel the corporate religious life was no longer possible to these re. turned Jews. Do we ever react again •of the Sews taking up any form of idolatry? Before the exile this had .been the :apse of much difficulty in their religious life, . but never again 'was this a tendency of the Jewish •ehurch. What effects had the exile on the character ofthe people? Probably •here they developed those strong com- mercial tendencies which have marked them as a people since the restoration. 3n what way did this experience pre- pare the way for the coning of the Messiah and the Christian revelation •of God? Glorying in past and present were largely cut off and hope pointed to a new day. Besides the broadened national outlook, though but slowly de- veloped, prepared the way for the con- •ceptimn of a universal religion and a universal brotherhorn as seen in •Christ. It would be interesting to recall -3e •outstanding leaders who contributed co largely to .the preservation and education of the exile- and gave them leadership in the difficult period of the restoration: Ezekiel, Daniel. Zer- 'ubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Malachi.

Dominion. Field Ilusbaudmaa anti• 1119 assistants of the Field 'Husbandry Division of the 'lilxperimeutel Farms. When loads were hauled an average distance of 82 rods one man and a one-horse waggon dlepoecd of 101/4 tons in at day. One man with two horses put out 12,43 tons, while two men with two liorses loadedand spread on the field 15.62 tons, With the =mite spreader one man with two horses was able to handle 18.23 tolls, while when throe horses were used on tate spreader 21.03 tons, were put out. Those results are contained in Bulletin No, 115 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa which covers studies extending over several years. into the cost of producing farm crops in Ea stern• Canada, Eradication of Couch Grass It hasbeen found by an experiment conducted by the Field Husbandry Divlsiou of the Experimental Parma that couch grass plants will be great- ly weakened if the plant is kept clip- ped back to the surface of the ground for period of two months, This clipping back wasmechanically done and would correspond with close graz- ing. Clipping was continuedup to the first week .in October. The fol- lowing sprlug the plants were so re- duced in vitality as to produce only very weak shoots Bearing no seeds by, the month of September. Another experiment with couch grasswas carried out to ascertain the effect of cultivation so carried out as to out up the plants into small pieces. The root stalks were separated into piecs of inch and half-inch lengths and each piece containing a node or joiut was placed in the soli under con- ditions suitable for growth. Eighty eight per cent. of, the inch pieces and fifty-two per cent. of the half-inch pieces produced healthy shoots. Still another experiment by tvhlch the live couch grass root stalks were brought entirely to the surface was carried out. It was shown that under dry and hot weather conditions ten days exposure was sufficient to dry out the toot stalks to such till extent drat they vers incapable of farther growth. The report of E. S. Hopkins, the Do- minion Field husbandman, for 1928, gives the details of other experiments with couch grass and recommends a practical plan for the eradication. This consists in ploughing the sod about five inches deep immediately after the hay crop is removed and keeping it worked thoroughly with cultivation at frequent intervals until the autumn, wlten deep Ploughing should be done, This report, publish- ed by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, covers a wide range of ex- periments In the handling of soil in farm practice. Demonstrating the Value of improved Live Stock In the Eastern Provines, Manitoba, parts of Alberta and British _Columbia, the Illustration Stations operated by the Department of Agriculture at Ot- tawa are becoming centres of live stock improvement. At these sta- tions fine dairy herds are being built up and flocks and herds of very good sheep and hogs are being established. The majority of the station operators are now using pure-bred sires. They aro keeping individual milk records and making butter fat determinations in order to learn the 'production of each cow. In his report for Last year the Chief Supervisor, et the Illustra- tion Stations shows that the year's production of milk and butter fat dif- fers greatly on the different Station farms while the average production of fat in the Station hferds varied from 408 to 121 pounds—a cow was found that yielded only 74 pounds of butter- fat. These ontrasts show the need and possibilities of systematic testing and selection. During the past year there were sold for breeding pm'poses by the operators of ,Illustration Sta- tions 2606 head of cattle, 301 hogs and 202 sheep.—Issued by the Director of Publicity, Dom.

March /914 and /929 Nowhere is the advance in the de- velopment of Canada's resources more vividly reflected than in the records of the Dominion's export trade. The sheer increase in the value of that trade is amazing enough in itself, but no less astonishing is the manner in which Canada's exports have spread out into new channels, The United Kingdom and the Un- ited States have long been C,laarla's two great customers, and .until recent years other countries have taken only a minor share of the Dominion's ex - Torts. Within the past fifteen years a remarkable change has occurred. Dur- ittg that period the Dominion's, sales to the United Kingdon have doubled in value,those to. the United tSates have trebled, and at the same time exports to "Other Countries" • have risen more than seven -fold, These "Other Countries,' formerly a minor factor, now afford a huge market out- let for Canadian products. They bought from the Dominion last year a bill of goods greater in value than. the whole export trade of Canada fif- teen years ago. To these widely scattered acid lesser- known markets Canada's resources furnish an immense variety of pro- ducts in natural adn manufactured forms. Silver and :Oficial silk to India, newsprint and sardines to Aus- tralia, potatoes to Cuba, lead and lumber to Japan, herring to China, foxes and lobsters to Sweden, oats and nickel to the Netherlands, salmon and furs to Prance, cheese and furniture to South Africa, rye to Norway, zinc and, asbestos to Germany, codfish and opper wire to Brazil, aluminum and wood pulp to Italy, and, of course; wheat and flour to all quarters of the globe—these and a thousand and one other items help to extend the web of Canadian commerce across the seven` seas. Character and Intellect "Autaeus" in the Spectator (Lon- don) : (There is a widespread tend- ency in Emglaud to compare and on. Mast 'intellect and character. It is believed that these qualities are mutually exclusive, and that the pos- session of the one implies the lack of the other . It is quite commonly as - earned that intelligence cannot, in practice, be developed above a very humble level, save at the expense of character. If this confusion of thought has affected unfavorably the education of our youth --on whom our whole fu- ture welfare so directly depends—all other counts which can be brought agaiust it may be regarded as of minor importance. But it does work great mischief in many other ways. It leads to a widespread preference for men of ordinary or of inferior iutelli- geuce for the conduct of public—and private—affairs. Large numbers of soh men are to be found in Parlia- ment, on municipal and county coun- cils, on the governing bodies of vari- ous public institution and on nearly all public committees. And in very many eases they owe their appoint- ment ppointment to this popular belief—that lack of intelligence implies possession of character. The toss to the nation caused by this state of affairs is, in the aggregate, enormous. Its effects are felt everywhere. It impairs our national. capacity to deaf with current problems; and it detracts disastrously from our material and moral welfare. We cannot afford to persist in this error.

"They've been oub.six hours and they just sent word to the court to send in some more evidence." —Judge, The Struggle for Existence 3, de Cr, Delmego in the Nineteenth Century (London): Whenever in the past the more and the less civilized races have made any contluued eon- tact, at least in lauds where the form- er could hope to find a perillanent abode, itis the weaker aid leas de, velo1ed people •that has always gone to tite wall. Where he has not been extirpated by fere of arms or by the operation: of those fatal gift sof elvili- zation, clothes, drink, and disease, primitive Ulan—red, brown or black— has almost itwariably succumbed to a kind of vital, languor. Itis hammer - Lai customs euppressed or drastically modified, hie habits of thought die - orientated, life has lost its savour for lint, aria with all his profoundly in- teresting cultures he has faded silent- ly away. So, for example, the red man failed in North Atnerloa, the Aus- tralian aboriginal followed the ex. ample of the red mate, and it is only in the very Wok of time that the de- cline of the gifted end chivalrous Maoris of New Zealand has been ar- rested, if arrested it proves to be. Alone the hardy and prolific negro tribes of Africa have been able to per- sist and multiply under the domina- tion of the whitee, and this persist- ence has Dome to be dreaded by the domiciled ruling community as likely in the course of time to overthrow their present supremacy, political and economic. That is the essence of the native problem of to -day. ti France and Germany Sisley. Huddiestou in the New Statesman (.London): (At the time of the Snowden.Cherou duel at the Hague, French papers talked of sub- stituting a Franco-German entente for the entente with Britain). In spite of superficial appearances, France and Germany can -n0 more unite than can oil and water. Even if we assume that France, anticipating further struggles of another character, has need of the benevolent neutrality of Germany, it is inconceivable that Ger- many will find it in its interest to com- mit itself in this direction. Yet it is strange that at a moment . when we hear so much about permanent peace, about European unity, about the abanodltment of the old diplomacy, there should be these mors or less veiled threats of secret diplomatic soundings. British Troops in Egypt London Morning Post (Cons.): The presence of British troops in Alexan- dria and in thevicinity of Cairo; It it is resented by a few politicians, is popular with the mass of the populas tion, who know well, if they reflect at all on the subjet, that our troops, are their protection and security. In any event, the British soldier gets on well with the Egyptian people, and is be- sides a very present help in timeof trouble to the foreign population. His departure fromthose cities would leave the respectable, citizen very much at the mercy of an occasionally fanatical and mm'derous mob, which the unified Egyptian police niay be un- able to control. Chicago and the Sea Chicago Tribute: The agitation for a Great Lakes seaway has tended t0 blind the -public to the fact that to -day there are two water routes, both of them in use, between the lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. There is no water- way from the lakes to the gulf, though the commercial possibilities of the route are stupendous. There can be no such waterway unles there is a substantial diversion a Chicago.

Bombay.—The nation -building de- partments of the Nisam's Government continue to do good work, aeoording to the administration report. of Hyde- rabad State for 1927, which has only recently appeared. The record of the experimental farms in the state, of which there are six in the various districts, is com- mended. Experiments are being con= ducted in the economical growth of crops suited to the soil by the use of different fertilizers and improved types of implements. A notable feature of the activities of the department is the propaganda carried on its popularizing the use of modern implements and machinery, and inducing the people to grow par- ticular kinds of fruits for which parts of the state were once 'famous. Three foreign scholarships are granted by the Government for. agricultural edu- cation. The Department of Industries and Commerce has been particularly ac- tive. New roads comprising 230 miles - of territory were completed by the public works department and opened for traffic. Addition has beea made t0 the railways and some new tines are also is course of construction. East Indians in South Africa Madras Minch' Weekly; So far as the Nationalist Ministry in Soutb Africa is concerned, it must be said that it has so far tried to stem the tide of white opposition to the elementary rights of Indians. But this negative attitude, useful as it has been, caunot be expected to redress the grievances, many and irritating, of Indians throughout the Union.. It will be necessary, therefore, for the Agent of the Government of India in South Afri- ca to press them upon the attention 'of the Government of South Africa with as much emphasis as he can put and put tate issue boldly and squarely before then that there cat be no last- ing friendship between Indians and Europeans unless and until the former are considered to be as much entitted to political and other rights as the lat- ter. British Hunter • In French Hands Nairobi, (S.A.) —Some sensation has been caused here by the report- ed arrest by French troops in the French Congo of Mr. Marcos Daly, an old East African gamehunter. It is stated that Mr. Daly has lost ivory and stores worth $25,000 which have been ernilscated by the French authorities. It is believed possible that he may unwittingly have infringed the French game laws. He is well known in Kenya Colony. Mr. Daly has appealed to the Brit- ish Foreign Office for assistance.

Tite outlook is strange, different, in fact' it looks a bit like that time c£ life termed 'the "Nifty Nineties" when ladioe wore many frills, and flounces, or upon closer inspection one discovers a leaning towards the Directaize'and Empire periods. The high waistline,' capelets, small boleros, steamers, lace or lingerie touches at the neck all go to those early style periods, and"ir^at attractive they were in their .day, which fact designers of note realize; and thus they Lavo turned back the fashion pages, brittle and yellow with age, to find inspiration enough for this season and perhaps many more to come. It is more entertaining to glance at these old-fashioned figures of high. waisted ladies and upon opening the fashion books of this autumn season one is fascinated with the modern de- signer's interpretation of olden -time frocks, alike and yet different, suiting the age of rush and scurry even though they are betrintmod with such things as frilled collars, panels, cape - lets, berthas and boleros. They have raised the waistline, lengthened the skirts, and fitted the figure with aloeer molding lines, graceful, yet allowing for freedom of moventer.t. MAY BE SLOW Paris has provided stylists with thrillers enough to keep them arguing their pros and cons _ar into the sea- son. Some say the new fashions while extreme are wearable—.that Paris- iennes are wearing them and that they are lovely. Others say that they aro far too extreme to be taken literally and that. it will be a year, even 18 months, 'before they will, be adopted. All this naturally makes for inter- est, and that there has been a drastic change in fashion there is no denying. It does seem a bit disconcerting to consider corset, in connection with these widely heralded normal waist- lines, and to contemplate long skirts not only for evening but for street wear. There is no denying that the ghost.of the Gibson Girl stalks abroad and that her charm Las been the in- spiration for much that has been launched this season. Even her long black kid gloves have been revived! One hears the new silhouette re - hued to as The Lily Langtry or the Jersey Lily—which is anotherstep backward. Any way place the period where me will is nearer to the Vic- torian than to the aviation age which, of course, gives rise to all this specu- lation as to whether or not the cos- tumes as launched at the openings of the haute couture are consistent with the time. DECISION NEAR. The mode has suddenly gone Vie - lotion or to made remote periods and Chanel has given pause by sounding the Empire note. The scoffers who insist that women will never go back to corset; and to long skirts, are about to say either " told you so," or admit their error. Thus, Paris fits its frock, to the figure—with the molda:d princess lines, or the snug bodice above a belt at the natural waist. These two sile.ouettes are the most important which the French designers have agreed upon. And both types concur in sponsoring the molded hipline, and fulness placed low in the skirt. Sports frocks .ex- tend below the knee, afternoon mod- els are longer still, and skirts are lengthened to extremrs in the evening. Though the longer -in -back lino is still important, Lanvin and. Palau favor the full skirt with the even hemline reaching nearly to the ankles. Iin- portant details include evicts, tiers, and circular skirts for afternoon; sleeves that are long and trinuued be- tween the elbow and wrist; and a wealth of detail for the neckline. Deep bertha and cape collars, jabots, or lin- gerie touches alaborste every new frock for daytime occasions. THE NEW COLORS. Fashionable colors for the formal evening frock include what is termed the off white, green, dahlia pinks, red and various shades of purple. Black is a staple which always seems to stand firm in fashionable circles, Fabrics for these occasions are velvet, both sheer and pant e, metal lame, dull crepe satin, net, lace chiffon and taffeta. Colors to be worn during the afternoon, when one attends the for- mal ormal functions, are black, prune, dahlia, brown and dark green, while in fah - ries one may choose either sheer and panne velvet, canton crepe, crepe satin and for the very late afternoon affairs metal lame cloth, and coarse mesh nets; or embroidered crepes may be utilized. Tailored dresses shove such details as the elaborate use of tailored shap- ing -sections, fur trimming, the lin- genie neckline, low -placed flare, and the tunic and bloused types. These frocks are of either lightweight sheet: crepe woollens and tweeds, novelty patterned jersey, feather jerscye,cau- on crepe, or silk;, in 'tweed and necktie prints. Colors rage black, brown,:greett and Patou's dahlia shades. Bogota was founded on a recrea tion site of Zipa, the iftneer0r of the Chibchas Indians, wfia ''oetO ;conquer,' ed by fOttesada,
