'Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific. Lower right Bronze tablet designating the gift. A nother step forward in the interests of the wel- fare of boys was made recently at Shawbridge, Quebec, when a modern gymnasium, complete in every detail was formally opened by E. W. Beatty, Chairman and President of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The gymnasium which has be- come'the. property of the Shawbridge Boys' Farm and Training School, is the joint gift of Mr. BeattY and J. W. McConnell of Montreal. The Gymnasium was erected during the past year and was done so at a considerable expenditure on the part of 'the two interested parties. Mr. Beatty's connection with the Boys' Farm at Strawbridge has long been established and were it not that he was the guiding genius of the greatest' transportation System in the world, he would be a national figure for his interest in the welfare of boys. The Gymnasium is known as the "E. W. Beatty Gymnasium," a name that was given to it at the (request of the boys of the farm. The atiucture is of solid stone, quarried about seven miles from the Farm, which lies in the first - range of the famous 'Laurentian Mountains, No detail has been forgotten in its construction. The main floor is taken` yip with the gym proper where many an exciting game: of basketballwill take place. Below is a fine swimming pool with showers close by. On the same floor is what miirht be termed 'a den 1.011.1.11 ' •"gym:<. v< N„: or library. This room is finished in chestnut and is furnished throughout with generous leather chairs and so]id oak writing desks. Predominating one end stands an immense stone fireplace which is seen in the photograph. This .fireplace, according to the inscription, `was erected with funds left to the Boys' Farm by Private Harry Barry, who was a pupil in this school and gave his life in the Great War 1914=1918." After the opening ceremony this tablet was an - veiled in the presence of about 300 guests who had been invited by Mr. Beatty and Mr. McConnell. A tablet onthe outside of the building reads "This gymnasium was donated to the Shawbridge Boys' Farm and Training School by E. W. Beatty, Esquire, K.C., and 3. W. McConnell, Esquire, of Montreal and was opened for use on the twenty fifth day of June, 1927."

Golden Text—Be sure your sin wi find you out.—Num.. 32:23. The Lesson in Its Setting. Time—B. C. 906. Place — Naboth's, vineyard at Je reel. Ahab's palace in Samaria, Covetousness Working Wickedness. "But Jezebel his wife came to him. Jezebel, it will be remembered, wa the daughter of Etlrbaai, king of Zi don, Her father had assassinated hi predecessor on the'throne of Phoen icia, and the princess was as cruel a her father, "And said unto him, Wh is thy spirit so sad, that thou eates no bread?" Doubtless the queen ha had experience of her husband's sulk fits before. "And he said unto her, Because spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, an sail unto him, Give me thy vineyar for money. Or else, if it please thee 1 will give thee another vineyard fo it" The king wishes to show' how fai and generous he has been, and obstin ately refuses to look at the matter from Naboth's viewpoint. "And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard," Ahab does not quote Na- both's exact words, with their invo- cation of Jehovah and their assertion that the land is an inheritance that had come down to him from his fa- thers. ",And Jezebel his wife said unto him, 1)ost thou i uw govern the king- dom of Israel?" In reality, Ahab de- served the'. taunt; he did not govern the kingdom; the real ruler was his wife. "Arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry." This is just the way a mother or a nurse would pet a cry- ing chilli "I will give thee the vine yard of Naboth the Jezreelitte." I, a woman, will do what you, the king, could not do; and Ahab is so far ram being a king that he puts the eins of government into her hands. "So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with .his seal:" The seal, throughout ancient times, was the main means of authenticating documents. In those days few could wvrite.exeept the professional ,scribes, and often the 'king himself could not ;rite his name: "And' sent the letters nto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with aboth.""Elders" or "senators" cans the heads of the families or lams. "Nobles" meats "freemen" and ay be merely a synonym ,explana- cry of '"elders." "And she wrote, in the letters, say- ng, Proclaim a fast" Dining the' fast everybody would cease from work nd would be at leisure to attend the ublic .meeting that was called, "And et Naboth tstr high among the peo- 6," Naboth was placed on some ised platform, as in :a prisoner's ock; he was pilloried before alio city. "And set two men, base fellow before hire," The, law required tit agreement of two witnesses, in' cgs that called for capital ptlnishznen thus it. was in Christ's trial, Mat >G;fio.6i, "And let therm bear tvitne against him," We are nut suffieienii grateful for: our` careful ul judicial pr, c.clttre, which investigates all charge thoroughly, which insures a trial b jury, which appoints lawyers to sere- without ere without .charge on behalf of the pow. and which renders. virtually impossi ;Isle in our lana such an assassinatioi under the form of law as Ellieof Na both. "Saying, Thou didst curse Go and the icing. ,:And then carry him out, and stone him-todeath" The cruel punishment of stoning was ,the He brew mode of execution. Elijah's Stern Rebuke "And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead." Th c Greek translation says that un receiv- ing this news Ahab "rent his garments alma put on sackcloth. if lie did, it was urely for effect and was .rank hypocrisy, since in giving jezebel au- thority to go ahead with her'her'plans ' he knew well enough that they would involve murder. "That Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite,; to take possession of it. "Down" because Samaria, the winter capital, is more than a thous- and feet higher than Jezreel, the sum-, mer capita]; "And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite." Born in Tishbeh of Gilead; or in the Tishbeh of Naphtali, The word of God may have been vocal, or;have come in a dream, or have been an impression made forcibly on Elijah's mind by the Holy Spirit "(Saying) Arise, go down to' meet Ahab king of Israel, who dweelleth- in Samaria." "Down" because Gilead'was a hill country and Jezreel was in a valley. "Who dwelleth in Samaria" in- dicates that Ahab's ancestral lands were there; now he is grasping greed- ily at the ancestral lands of Naboth in distant Jezreel. "Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it." Naboth's vineyard, not Ahab's. Il The king had gone to take violent. possession of it, not rightful posses- sion. "And thou shalt speak unto him, z -saying, Thus saith Jehovah." God's prophets throughout the Bible under- stand themselves to be the agents of " 1 the Almighty, doing the deeds of the s Lord and, speaking His words. "Hast s, thoty killed, and Oars taken poesas- e aiun . .Art thou ;new the irilrc,r :rit,ap , es thou art the intu•dereri+ "Azul thou t; shalt speak unto hint :stryin, ,, 'l lots t. saith Jehovah, In th tit tt a • do,,- licked the bl(./od t.if t\aberth ,!tall y doss lick thy bloe,d, t:ven thine v tit,,,:;" 1; ,,r rut the or,,ud • kinkingof Israel with an, env at thy y back: Ahab was nut slain !in the . •v.n e of Jezreel, where Nabutli \ a ,sear ed' It, d,uath, but in battle at kaiiu,!h- - Gilead, and the dogs licked upupthe i blood from his eliariot:as it was wash- - - . ed in Samaria. d ".And Ahab said to Elijah, Hest •, thou found rite, O urine enemy?"

"And he answer- ed, I have found thee, because that thou hast sold thyself to do that I Which is evil in the sight of Jehetvah." Ahab had sold himself, he was now the bond -slave of wickedness. And at what a trivial price he had sold hint - self, his kingdom, his happiness, his future and that of his house, his : im- mortal soul! For a petty ,plot of ground he had brought upon him this ,utter and irretrievable loss.
