September 29. Lesson XIII—Review
Significance of the Exile and the
Restoration—Isaiah 61: 1-9. 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.
Laurentian Night
With heaving lurch and spurt of flam-
ing smoke
-The last train cityward departs
Flinging its wailing cry to the echo-
ing hills
.'While down the winding road
'The homing line of autos starts.
Quiet falls the eve in each Laurentian
village
.Black spears, the lonely plues against
the rose -red sky
;Like blazing sparks the fireflies flash
and vanish.
-Tho whip -poor -will sends forth his
plaintive cry,
The cow -bells tinkle tiro' the glowing
darkness
.And mountain mists make one of hill
and sky.,
The yellow moonclimbs up
.And o'er tite lake
.Stares in the mirror whih the waters
snake.

Farm Notes
Spreading Farm Manure
The, use of a manure spreader ag
compared with hand wark was iu-
eluded its tate study of the cost of pro-
ducing farm crops carried on by the.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Commerce has been particularly ac-
tive. New roads comprising 230 miles -
of territory were completed by the

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.

Favorite Colors
Are New
And now, what has Paris done l0
afternoon and evening frocks? 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.
