The products of the three Colonies were found to attract much attention and there were many enquiries. Canada in the past has imported largely from West Africa, and the increase in West African Armlet has been chiefly accounted tor by the highprices obtained for West African cocoa, and the quantity of manganese shipped from the Gold •Coast, There are a lot of things which Weat Africa needs from Canada, and vtoe versa.

A holy day was celebrated sometimes with feasting and great mirth, Neh. 8: 10-12. Les- sons were drawn by religious teachers of the New Testament from the games and spectacles of their time, Heb. 12: 1; 1 Cor. 9: 24-27; hit. 3: 1.2, 14. Of this passage in Philippians Professor the old Sabbath laws are now made to Michael writes (Com. on Philippians, p. 162), "Every word would suit _a apply' To satisfy the need of hungry men was more important than to keep strictly some ancient rule. This Jesus illustrates by an incident drawn from the story of David, 1 Sam. 21: 1-6. The Christian church, fallowing the Master's example and works, in the end set aside the old rule of Sabbath observance, and substituted for the Jewish seventh day, the Christian first day, or Lord's day, to which some of foot -race, and it is the foot -race that usually tarnishes Paul's metaphors."

REBUKE OF -THE FAULTFINDERS, Matt. 11: 16-19; Mark 2; 18-28. ENDURANCE The Preventable Disease—' Issued by the Canadian Social Hygiene Council Typhoid fever is ono of the most preventable diseases known to the werid. Doctors have positively learn. od how it can be 'wiped off tbo face of the earth. What they need now to put the finishing tcutlhos os the job is complete co-operation of filo people—that is to say, the rest of us, who have everything to gala when, we lend a hand. During the South African war, there wore more deatitis among the erldiers from typhoid fever, than utero were from bullets, But things have im- proved since that day, to such an r a - tont that a wellknown medical hen. 'a officer said recently .that for every case of typhoid fever there should be one case or hanglug. Canadian Creeps in the Great War were inocul- ated against typhoid, and as a result not one died of it. The doctor that first made that re- mark uttered something that sounds fantastic, but really is highly pram Boal. Measures not unite so drastic, but nevertheless surprising, are al. ready in force in at least one country •in the world -Germany. When o110 case 'rf typhoid fever appears in a town in Germany, the commissioners, the health officers and the town coupe oilmen, aro haled to covet and forced' t0 prove that they were not negligent in allowing a Dasa ot typhoid to :prop up in their•town. if they can't prove it they are fined or sent to jail. Every year, there are about 150,000 People who get typhoid fever, and about 25,000 people die ot it, in Can- ada and the United States, two coun- tries oun tries that ought to know better. When you figure, as actuaries do, that a child born to a family living on 32500, a year has a potential value to that family of 39,333, and whew eighteen Years of age, has a value t0 the. coun- try of 329,000, and at twenty-five years of age, a value of 332,000 you will see bow great is the financial loss alone from typhoid, the preventable disease. Typhoid fever is caused by a very tiny and prolific germ with many legs that looks something like a tadpole. There are some fluids in which it can move about—of which water is the chief one. The only things that It affects are human beings like our- selves, and then only when it passes into our stomachs in the food or drink which we swallow. It floes great damage in the small intestine, producing inflammation there and small sores that may become ulcers, It is then that its victim has typhoid fever, and becomes worse, because once this typhoid germ gets in there, it multiplies with even greater rapid- ity than it did before. The machinery of every city in Can- ada is sufficient to keep typhoid down it it is backed by the co-operation of the public. Those who live in places unblessed by adequate public health machinery should do two things-- Press hings— press for the organization of suck machinery, and second, have them- selves and their families inoculated against typhoid just as the Canadian troops were in France, Those who are not inoculated should at all times, when not in a place where the source of supplies is rigidly inspected, guard against the possibility ot infected milk or polluted water. They should see that sewage is disposed Of just as effectively as it is in the large cities, because this is one of the male sources of the disease. in such places. only water that has been boiled, and milk that is pasteurized should be used. No one should eat without first washing the hands. Flies and their breeding places should be de- stroyed, eo that they cannot get at food that is to be consumed, nor car- ry the disease from a tYphotd victim to someone else. Remember, medical science has taught us how to stamp typhoid out.
