THE GOLDEN TREASURY November 22, 0 Lord, how manifold are thy works! Yat wisdom has thou made 'them all; the earth. 'is full o'f thy riches, Psalm civ. 214.. W hos o Is wise, and wilt observe' these things, even they shall understand the 'loving -kindness of the ,Lord. Psalm cvi-i. 43. O Lord, how many are - thine un- dcnowil utereiesl I ` am surrou'nde'd with them on every side; yet flow Little do I observe' them, and acknow- ledge them to thy .praise! If thou hast punished even the Heathen, for not having glari'fled thee in thy • works, what will -become of nee? Pardon, 0 Lord, this my blindness and ingrati- tude; and to all thine other kindness add a thankful heart, that I may joy- fully praise thee for the blessing o'f my creation, the daily bounty o'f thy providence, and the adorable' gilt of thy ,Son. In all thy creatures may I see and adore thine infinite power, wisdom and go'o'dness; and be there- by continually strengthened in faith, and stirred up to thy praise and love. Thus let me always converse with thee, cleave, to thee, and have uninter- rupted communion with thee; that noth'in'g may in the least disturb this disposition o'f my :soul. The glories of my Maker, God, My joytful voice shall sing, ;And tail the nations to adore Their Former and their King, 4. The Lord is in his holy temple, fhe 'Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try the child- ren o'f men_ On the Psalms.—Psalm X'I. an the first verse, the 'Psalmist had declared his trust to he in Jehovah, Af_ ter reciting the reasonings of his friends, 'he now proceeds to evince the fitness and propriety of such trust, notwithstanding the seemingly 'desper- ate situation of affairs. "Jehovah is in his temple;" into 'which, therefore, un- holy men, however triumphant in this world, can never enter: "Jehovah's throne is in heaven;" and'consequentl'y superior to all power upon earth, which may be contro.l'led and over- ruled by him in a moment; "his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men;" so that no secret wickedness can escape his knowledge, who serut- 4nized'the'hearlts as well as the lives of all sons of Adam. Why, then. should the man despair, who hath on his side holiness, omnipotence, and omniscience? 5. The Lord trieth the righteous; but the wicked, and 'hint that loveth violence, dors soul hateth. As to the afflictions which persons may suffer, who are embarked in a righteous ,cause, they are intended tc purge- away 'the dross and to refine them for the M'aster's use. "Gold it tried in the fire, and: acceptable men in the furnace of adversity," In the meantime, God's :displeasure against the wicked is ever the same, and their prosperity, instead of bene- fiting, will in the end destroy them, The cases of David and lSaul, the mar- tyrs and persecutors, are all cases in point, and should be often in stir thoughts, to tea'c'h us patience, and guard us against despair, in seasons of calamity, pain, or disgrace. 6. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares or .burning coals, fire and brim- stone, and an 'horrible tempest; this shall be the portion of 'their cup. ISt. Jude\ ver. 7, tells us, that the ci- ties of Sodom, Gomorrah, :etc„ for their abominable 'sins' are set forth for an example, or specimen, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. And 'here we see the images' are plainly taken from the dreadful judgment itnflicted on those cities, and' transferred to the vengeance of the last day'- Then the sons of faithful Abrahams shall behold a pro's'pect, 'like that which once' pre- sented itself to the eyes of their fath- er: when rising early in the morning. and looking toward Sodom and Go- morrah;: and toward alt the lana of the' .plain, he beheld, and lo, the smoke of the cnurttry went up as the smoke of a furnace!"-1Gen. xix. 21, Such must he the portion of their , cup tv'llo have dashed from them the cup of salvation, He, therefore, who would enjoy the prosperity of the wicked here, must take it with their tornient'hereatfter; as he who is ambitions of wearing the crown of righteousness in heaven, must be content to endure tribulation upon earth, 7. For the righteous Lord loveth rig'hte'ousness; his countenance doth behold the upright, F[e . who is in himself essen'tia'l ;righteousness, cannot but love his own: resemblance, wrought in the faithful. by his good Spirit; with a countenance full of pa'ternal affection, he beholds. and speaks .peace and comfort to them, in the' midst or their sorrows; until admitted, Through mercy, to the glory,yfrom which justice excludes the wicked, and behol'ding that counte- nance wbi'ch has always beheld them, they shall 'enter upon a life 01 bound- less and everlasting felicity. MUMMY ,WHEAT. (Lxperimental Farm Note.) 'During the past few mouths there seems to have been an unusual revival of inteteet in the vitality of wheat cla'i'tl>,ed to have been found in the tomb's of Ancient' Egypt. Samples o'f this so-called "Mummy" wheat have been received by the. Cereal Division, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, within recent months, from farmers who claim, to have produ'ce'd the said' seed from samples' coning ,directly from these 'Egyptian tro'n1bs.' 'Statements have also appeared in the press which Might lead one to 'believe that the tombs •,of Egyplt appear ' to possess some mysterious power to preserve the germin'atin'g ability of cereal grain for a long period• of time. 'Ap'parent- by these sta'tements have. attracted the attention o'1 a numbetr of ofd Country people. who have •ap;iealed to, certain o'ffi'cials of• the ;B'r'itish Musedm for in- formation as to whether or not tvheat stored in tombs for a long period of years is cap'a'ble of growing. As a result of t'he'se enquiries, Sir Ernest Wallis Budge, Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities in the above museum, pub- lished the following article in the Lon-. don Times recently. "Three genitlement connected' with the Press have rung one ..up and told Inc that they had received a report from America that a distinguished far- mer load 'succeeded in making to grow wheat which he had obtained from the toni'b of Tutankhamen. And they ask- ed the if I believed that such a thing was credible, 'During .my years of service as Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities in the British Museum I was asked this question. either by letter or by word of mouth, on an average twice or thrice a week, and the Director re- ceived many letter asking the sane question. Dr. Birch had said, 'An- cient ;Egyptian wheat will not grow,' and we gave that as an answer to in- quiries. Subsequently good fortune gave the the opportunity of buying. in 1897, at my own cost, in Western Thebes, a good specimen of a wooden model of an ancient Egyptian granary, which had just been found in a tomb of the Nineteenth Dynasty, say 1200 B.C, It contained little bins and the usual staircase, and the whole space not occupied by the bins was covered with a layer of darkish brown grain, wheat or barley ('I knonv not which), several inches deep. 1 poured out the grain into a leather bag and brought it Holme in due course, "I suggested to the Director that eve should give some of the grain to the authorities at Kew Gardens and ask them to make a careful experi- ment and let us know the result, 'With his approval I wrote to Dr, Thistle -I ton Dyer, the Curator, and asked his help, and he promised to give the planting of the grain his personal care and attention..He prepared soil and di- vided the grain into four little heaps. and he planted each heap separately, and covered each little plot with glass of a different colour — white, yellow, red, and blue. The .whole of the Kew staff was intensely interested in grain to ;germinate. They waited day after clay, week after week, but no shoot o'f any kind appeared. At length, after three months, they turned over the .lit- tle plots and found that all the grain had turen'd to dust. As a result 'This tleton Dyer reported that ancient Eg- ypfi'an wheat or barley would not grow, and then went on to talk about the shortness •of the, life of the ger- minating properties in grain general- ly. Many others tried the same exper- iment, with the s'anse result. "As we shall have all the did. stories and statements brought up again in rile Press generally, I would fain ask you to put on record in The Times the above' short account, of . Thistleton Dyer's exhaustive, experiment." RESIGNS ATTER S'ERVIN'G N.Y. CENTRAL 53. YEARS Patrick: E.

Several reasons have been given for the undesirability of more _Mennonites as settlers in 'Mexico, the chief being that too great an influx of then' would reflect on present labor standards. 'In their' demands on the elexicau 'Colon izatime Depart neart. the \lan- nonites, far from asking for tracts of land convenient to a railroad, and with certain improvements, have chosen a practically arid strip of desert coun- try, seeking a guarantee that no rail- road shall pass within 100 miles of their settlement for at least 100 years.
