"Young Ambassadors of the Empire", the latter having visited Canada last year with the British "Young Ambassadors" Party were amongst recent arrivals, at Hali- fax, of juvenile Britons coming to Canada for farmwork. The admirers• son was Edward G. B. Kiddie (right), son of Ad- miral Sir Charles Kiddie, RJ., and the "Young Ambassador" was Frederick T. Mac.. (left'. who (11111111Mellf completed a correSpondence course in Canadian farming and who 'has proceeded to Winnipeg for place- ment. The boys were among a party of • 125 arriving on the Cuna.rder ' "Aseania" and who travelled west- ward over the lines or the Canadian National Railways. Their place- ments were handled under the auspices of. the British Immigra- tion and Colonization Association. THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) • Says • "THANK YOU'S" ARE A MEANS OF MUCH •BUSINESS. • There is a cigar store T know where they will give you back the ailment of your purchase if the clerk fails to say, "Thairk you." There -was a string of drug stores in Chicago that appeared to make it a habit of not saying, "Thank you" --they were forced to sell out at a loss. There is •nothing that grates on my nerves quite as much as to pay a check, a bill, or present legal tender in payment of purchase, and have the recipient of my money fail to express any,appreciation for the patronage extinded. And there are millions o1 others just like me. One of the most successrul mercantile concerns in the country • has built its'busines's on the motto, "It is only natural to trade where you are served best." Some cash ,register • company mightdo good if they put a "Thank you" on their regist&, like cuckoos on. clocks. Why shouldn't the customer be thanked? If one man gave another a dollar and the receiver didn't even grunt to show apprecia- tion, you'd 'call him an ungrateful cuss •and a poor specimen of hum- anity; yet, Many a sale at a profit equivalentto much more, is ac- cepted with the air of "Well, it's coming to me." That is mighty poor business, or elsdirtexeusable ignorance. • The cheery "Thank you", "Call again," or some other such card oh the inside of the door, or over the cash register, shows the right spirit and helps, but isn't enough. The public are fickle buydrs, and for that reason "blisineaa goes where it is invited, `Ind stays and comes back to the place where it is well treated and served best." There is many a business house, many a community, failing to make an expression of appreciation for ,patronage extended, that is thereby drivirtg custoMers to its that counts. "Thank You's" never drove business from any store or coin- mutity, but lack of them has cost many thousands upon thousands of dollars, • Copyright, 1929, A, D. Stone.

"In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakint king of Judah."—This son of the good King 'Josiah was placed on the throne by Pharaoh-necho, and was oblidged to pay,heavy tribute to Egypt. His father had been a faith- ful follower of Jehovah, but Jehoi- akim returned to idolatry. The re- buking . prophecy which Jeremiah' wrote, Jehoiakim contemptuously cut up and burned leaf by leaf, "Came Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- lon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it," —Nebuchadnezzar, the son of Nabo- polassar, king of Babylon, was sent by his father into northern Syria to fight Pharaoh-necho, who was attempting to wrest that country from the Asiatic empire. "And the Lord gave •Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand."—Jelmi- akim seems to have been captured by the Bablyonian forces, perhaps in some foray, but Jerusalem was not captured. "With part of the vessels of, the' house of God."—The temple contained many vessels of gold and silver, and a portion of these seem to have been used to ransom the king, and as an earnest of the regular tri- bute which the city would pay to Bablyon as it had been paying it to Egypt. "And he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god."—"The land of. Shiner" was the alluvial plain of Babylonia. • Na- bopolassar died and Nebuchadnezzar was summoned 'home to assume the crown, which he did, leaving to his generals the conduct of operations in the west "And he brought the ves- sels into the treasure -house of his god."—It was customary for such ob- jects to be brought back by heathen kings from their campaigns and set U1) in . their temples, ;for their own glory and the honor of their dieties, "And the king spake unto Ash- penaz, the master of the eunuchs."— "Eunuchs were, and still are, comm on in Oriental courts; they sometimes attained great influence with the mon- arch, and were treated by him as con- fidential servants." "That he should bring in certain of the children of Is- rael,"—That is, some of the Jewish cap tives which Nebuchadnezzar had just brought from Jerusalem. "Even of the seed royal and of the nobles." —"There is assumed here that. there were a large number of Israelitish hostages who would be reckoned cap- tives whenever the conquered state gave cause of suspicion to the reg- nant power in whose hands the host- ages were." "Youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored."—Physical perfec- tion would .be sought in the youths who were to be trained for important positions near the king, and as the Assyrian and Babylonian sculptures show that those peoples had an excel- lent taste in matters pertaining to personal appearance. "And skilful in alllvisdom, and endued with know- ledge, and understanding science." -- These phrases are virtually synony- mous, and it is idle to attempt to dif- ferentiate them, Soffe.tt translates; " iutelligett in all branches of know- ledge, adepts in learning, accornplish- ed scholars." i'And such as had abil- ity to stand in the king's palace -- The phrase, to "stand before" a king, means .10 serve as his officer or coun- • cillor; these boys were intraining fur the king's council chamber. "And that he should teach them the learn- ing and the tongue of the Chaldeans." J—The Chaldeans, a people southwest of Babylonia, fought. Assyria for a tottg time, and canie to be stpretne in tabYlonia, so that "Chaldeans" is virtually eqnivalent to "Babylonians." • "And the king communed with them."—Hc gave them an examina- tion, questioning them about the dut- lea they would be expected to per- form, and probing the thoroughness of their edueation. "Attd among thein all was found hope like Daniel, Hari- aniah, MiShael, and Azaria,h."—Their Hebrew names are not allowed to be Thursday, July 25th, 1929 .ryominlionn1,11.111.11.1 forgotten by the chronicler, who re- joices in this Victory of men of his own racd, and their admitted super- iority. "Therefore stood they before the king."—This technical phrase sig- nifies that they became the king's per- sonal attendants, standing beside his throne in respectful readiness to do his bidding, whatever it might be. "And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them"—We do not really know a subject until we can pass an examination in it. "He found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm."—The king at once discovered the young men to be wise and learned, and later, when they were tested, they proved them- selves to be ten times as able as the scholars on whom the king had re - Het. DANIEL THE INTERPRETER OF DREAMS. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing 'known to Han- aniah,.Mishael, and Azariah, his corn- panions."—It was a time for co-opera- tion, to prove that four heads are bet- ter than one, though that one were Daniel's, so keen and gifted. "That they would desire mercies of the God of Heaven concerning this secret."—We may be sure that all four spent the night in earnest prayer. What man could never hope to do, their God •could do easily for them, and they had faith to believe that He would. "That Daniel and his com- panions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon."— That none of them all should 'perish, for the prayer of the four for them- selves involved all the other sages, No true prayer cat be selfish. "Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night"—God had sent the vision to the king, and so of course God could reveal it to his prophet. "Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven."—He was so sure of God that he thanked Him at once for the answer to his prayer. In- deed, he could have thanke&Him be- fore offering the prayer. "Daniel answered and said."--Whai he said was an inspired song of praise, a' psalm of thanksgiving. "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are Iiis."—True thanksgiving is "for ever and ever." "And he changeth the times and the seasons."—"The meaning is, His- tory does not move with the regu- larity of a clock: the order of things established at a given time is not necessarily permanent." "He rernov- eth kings, and setteth up kings." -- This was illustrated to Daniel by. the dream that was revealed to him, as well as by his own experience in suc- cessive reigns. "He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding,"—The wiser one is, the readier he is to acknow- ledge his vast debt to God, • "He revealeth the deep and secret things."—Such things as the mystery which had been opened to Daniel. "He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."— Because God is light. He 'can irrad- iate all,darkness, material, mental and spiritual. "I thank thee and praise thee, 0 thou. God of my fathers."—What had been done for Daniel had been done for all the generations before Daniel, for as many as would submit thcm- Summer Wear For Men New and attractive lines in Straw Hats, Bow Ties, Fancy Shirts, Fancy Sox, Balbriggan Underwear and B.

"Who hest given xne \ yisdom and might,"—Some Share of the wisdom and might which were in God Hirnself. "And hast now wade I known unto me what we desired (.4 thee."—Daniel associates his three friends with himself in his thanks- giving, for all four had been praying. I matter."—This is a model "For thou hast made known unto ns the king's thanksgiving,: it is 'personal and it in- cludes others. ,, Therefore Daniel went in unto Ar- ioch, whoni the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon." —He was the captain of the king's guard; verse 14. "He went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon."—Daniel went in baste for he knew the king's com- mands had been urgent (verse 15), and did not know how long a stay the monarch would grant. "Bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation."— So Daniel was brought in haste to the troubled sovereign, and told him his dream, being careful to ascribe th disclosure to the one God in heaven that reveals secrets and knows the Superior tor The Largest Chain of Service Grocora Canadn.

Newspaper vs. Billboard. Here's a good advertisement story which is taken from an exchange. An editor and merchant were discussing the virtue of billboard advertising. The merchant contended that 'more people read the billboards than the newspaper. After a lengthy c.onver- sation in which neither man would give in, the men parted. The next 'week the merchant came tearing down to the newspaper office wanting to know why the obituary of his wift's mother was not in the paper, espec- ially ,after he had seen the copy was take oto the nevespaper office. "Well" said the editor; knew you wanted that obituary read by the people, so X took it out and nailed it on yotir billboard," Yt1.8t think it •over, HERE TAYLOR, POPULAR CLOWN AND OBILDRIEIN'S ENTMITAINER Hunipty Dumpt-y, master of Fun -Land, is corning to the Chants* quo!
