A few more seasons come;

Asleep within the 'tomb.
A few more suns shall, set
O'er these dark hills of time
And we shall be where suns are not,

S. S. LESSON FOR DEC. 26th, 1926;
Lesson Title Review; Moses to
Samuel.
Golden Text—Psalm 85:9.
Oct. 3rd - Israel Journeying Toward
Canaan.
Numbers 10:1,1-36.
_—Numbers 10:29.
After a sojourn of almost a year
at Sinai the cloud lifted from off the
ark and the children of Israel pro-
ceeded towards- the promised land.,
Moses invited Hobab, a mas familiar
with•the country to accompany them
promising him .a share in whatever
goodness the Lord would do to them.
s they journeyed: on Moses made a
Death.
Deuteronomy .32:45.52; 34:5.8•
Psalms za6 i-5.
Moses on finishinghis address
known a's '"Th.e Song of,Moses" was
told by God that• the time of his de-
parture had come. Because of his
great act of unbelief in the wilder-
ness o fZion he was not permitted to
cros ;into Canaan: God, to show hiin
the sin was forgiven,,took him up, on
to a high mountain and let him see
the goodly land and then, as the Jews
say, "with 'a kiss from the mouth of
God," Moses was not, for God took
him to that better land. The Israel-
ites mourned for him long an bit-
terly as was the custom for one of
high rank.
Oct. ' 24th -Joshua, Israel's New
Leader
'—Numbers 27:58-20; Joshua 1:g.
—Joshua i:g.
Joshua had shown his courage in
defeating•the Amalekites; his courage
and' his faith iii God .in opposing the
report of the evil spies" and. was .deem
ed the fit person to be the successor
to Moses, so God instructed Moses to
ordain him to that high office.
_ After the .death of Moses God ap-
rest Feared to Joshua and commanded him
to go. over Jordan and .possess Can-
aan. • He encouraged him to remem-
ber that the presence of God would go
with him; and he cautioned him to be
strong and of gpod courage and to
take time to meditate on the Law and
thereby ensure a prosperous outcome
to his life work.
Oct. 3xst—The Evils of Strong Drink.
-,Proverbs 23: 29-35.
—Proverbs 23:32.
Solomon depicts the results of con-
tinued indulgence in strong drink. It'
maims a inan insensible to his own
rights and. the rights of others; it
tends to impurity of speech and ac-
tion and 'i the end assumes coin
plete control of both body and soul,
for no sooner is he over one car-
ousal than he seeks to begin on an-
other. The only escape is surrender
to the control of Jesus Christ. •'.
Nov. 7th - The Fall of Jericho.
—Joshua 6:12-2o.
—1 John 5:4.
The faith, obedience' and patience
of the children of Israel were put to
testby the mode of attack Joshua
was instructed to carry out against
1` be in and end ,,ch the city. of Jericho. Gates of brass
ipraetice to g and bars of iron could not stand be-
fore the God of Israel, and so on the
thirteenth time of their encircling the
city, the walls fell flat.

warded.
-Joshua 14:6-18.
—Joshua 14.8.
When Caleb returned from spying
rney with prayer—an acknowledge-
ment that their safety did not depend
on their numbers but in' the favor
. of Cod resting on and abiding with
them.
OF>" loth—The Deport of the Spies.
-Numbers 13:23-33.
—Numbers 13-3o.
After almost two years 'journeying
the children of Israel were at the bor-
ders of Canaan.' Instead of entering
at once they prevailed upon Moses to
send twelve men to spy out the land.
'They returned, bringing wonderful.
sarnples of fruit, and saying it was a
goodly land, but ten of them contend-
ed that the cities were too strongly
fortified and the people too numerous
for them ever to 13e able to conquer
out the proinised land and contended
that they were well able to go up and
possess the land Moses promised him
that the land whereon his feet had
trodden should be his inheritance,
Forty-five years afterwards when the
children of Israel were in Canaan and
it was about to be allotted to the .3if-
ferent tribes, Caleb reminded Joshua
of this promise that Hebron sl uric:
fitted the :rata b.. his inheritance. He• claimed thatit. Two of them admitted �+'
of all but their inabiliy to possess 'though he was old he was yet strong
the land and urged their going `for and able to lead the people to victory
against the Anakins. Joshua bles-,
sed him and granted his request r,e
cause he had wholly followed the
Lord God of Israel.

THE FIRST CAROL
A Christmas celebration in Old
England would not be complete with-
out the singing of Christmas carols.
For hundreds of years these have
been sung in church and hall and
manor house. Today, throughout
the christian world, the good old
custom is growing in popular favor.
The first of all the carols known to
have been written in'England, "Lord-
ings listen to our Lay" was discover-
ed on the blank leaf. .of one of the
manuscripts in the British Museuni,
written in the Anglo Norman llug-
nage, and believed to date back to
the thirteenth century.

TWO CASES IN COUNTY
COURT THIS WEEK
Two cases we're on the list for the
County Court, held this weelc by His
Honor Judge Lewis. Young et al. v.
Coultis was tried with 'a jury and
Flynn et al, v. Kinberger was a non -
jury case.
In the fornlbr case the plaintiffs
were Wm.'H. Young and Thos. Stur-
dy. In 1924 John Coultis,' the clefen-
dant,bought from plaintiff Sturdy the
growing hay on land owned by Stur-
dy in East Wawanosh, In 5925 St ir•3y
sold the place to the plaintiff Young.
It was claimed that Coultis without
authority stored his hay in 5924 in the
barn -on the premises and when the
farm was sold in 1925 he refused to,
give up possession•of the barn, and
held it until long after haying time
in 5925. It was claimed also that
defendant in spite of'warning piled
fifty-five tons of baled hay in part of
the barn that_was in a weakened
condition and thereby caused it to
slide off the foundation. The claim
was for $500. Defendant The
that no objection was made to his
storing the hay in the barn and whe•1
he was asked to remove' it he did.
The jury returned a"verdict for the
plaintiff for $25, to which His Hon-
or added County Court costs. L. E.
Dancey for plaintiffs. R. Vanstone
(Wingham) for defendant.
In'the second case the plaintiffs
were Owen Flynn, of Hullett township
his wife and his wife's sister,' Miss
Evans. The three were driving on
an August evening in 1924 on the Pro-
vincial highway near Dublin, when,
as they alleged, an automobile in
which E. and Chas. Kinberger, of
Stratford, were driving, and travelling
on the wrong side of the road, crash-
ed into their buggy and threw them
out, carrying the buggy into the ditch.
All sustained serious injuries, and the
buggy was badly wrecked.
R, S. Hays (Seaforth) appeared for
the plantiffs; the defendants were not
represented. Judgment was given
for the plaintiffs, and the damages
were assessed at $5oo.
GREETINGS
Psalm 72:3
He whose hand prepared the foun
tains
Where the crystal waters spring
Has provided that "the mountains
'To the people peace shall bring.."
For He makes what seems repelling
Precious treasures to contain;
That in faith and love excelling
Earnest souls may strength obtain.
While the year, its course completing
Brings into your mind to -day
Those to whom you send a greeting
To their ,home so far away,
May you know that still unbroken
Is that circle true and strong
Which delights in friendships token
In the days of joy and song.
Like the men who read the story
Which the angels brought to them
May you view the wondrous glory
• Of the Christ of Bethlehem.
May you find with all who listen
Music sweeter than, all sound;
And while morning dew drops glisten
May your hearts with joy abou.:d,
