Some very fine work is being ac-
corded in the field of "Wired Wire-
less". The transmission of entertain.-
ment by this method is confined to
power transmission lines. Aerials
are erected near the power lines and
practically the same outfit is used as
the 'broadcasters employ. The re-
ceiver is a very simple case and it is
attached to the ordinary lighting sock-
et. When the switch is turned on,
an a.djustment of one dial brings in
the music very clearly. This plan is
already in use by the Hydro Electric
Power Commission of Ontario for
the transmission of operating orders
over some of the.Niaga.ra lines.

simultaneously from four of the more
powerful broadcasting stations in the

THE HOUR, OF FATE
What is the hour of fate in a
young man's life? I should say 7 p.
m. That hour is the spring board
from which most men leap to suc-
cess or fall off to failure.
I am also convinced that 7 p. m, is
the fork in the roads, one of which
leads to character and the other to
lack of it .
There are twenty-three other hours
in the day, but there is no hour so
potent as this 7 p. m.
Why? This is the answer: A.
man's waking hours are divided be-
tween industry and leisure. To a
majority of mankind seven , in the
evening mark a the end of work and
the beginning of leisure. It is the
hour when a man makes a choice of
the kind of leisure he is to have. If
he turns to the leisure that means
improvement to his mind and body,
his soul, he wins. If he turns to the
pleasure -feeding frivolties, he loses.
It is a cold-blooded proposition, but
it is true. Genius is ninety-nine per
cent. hard work, and the best of leis-
ure is a shift from one kind of work
to another kind of work. Ninety-
nine out of every hundred men who
Win in the world use the time' when
they are not at work in activities
which look work to the loafer -Vic-
tor Murdock in Association Men.
JOHN WAS RIGHT
A short time before his death. John
Wanamaker, in a talk with the adver-
tising manager, of his Philadelphia
store, declared that the public was be-
ginning to resent the awkward bulk
and the meaningless advertisements of
the average newspaper.
"If the newspapers are goieg to save
themselves and be useful to the public
and useful to the merchant who ad-
vertises in. them," said Mr. Wanamak-
er, "they will have to double, their ad-
vertising rates. Thus they would be
able to reduce the faithful advertising
to its proper proportion and to cut
out the waste and false advertising
altogether."
"News papers would come to a new
dignity and a new usefulness," contin-
ued Mr. Wanamaker. "There would
be morn in the newspapers for the
news of the world and better and high-
er employment for the men who cover
the news, edit it and write it. The
double -truck advertisement would be-
come a thing of the past, and possibly
the full-page advertisement, too. Cer-
tainly the full -Page advertisements
would continue only where there is
something very genuine and very im-
portaiit behind it."
That was the message of the largest
retail store buyer of newspaper space
in the world!

S. S. LESSON FOR OCT. 14, 1923
Lesson Title -Israel, a Missionary
Nation.
Lesson... Passage -Exodus... x9:x-6;
Isa. 43 :9-x x ; Isa. 45:20-22.
GOldell Text -Exodus 19:6.
Exodus 19:1-6,
In the r7th chapter' of Exodus we
are given an account of the notable
things that took place at Rephidim;
first. the murmuring of the people a-
gainst Moses because of the lack/of
water and the miraculous source of
supply; (verses 5-6) then the battle
between Amalek and Israel in which
"when. Moses held up his hand Israel
prevailed; and when he let down his
hand Amalek prevailed (vii). . From
Rephidim the children of Israel
marched into the desert and encamp-
ed before Mount Sinai.' In: the 5th
chapter of Exodus we read how Mo-
ses and Aaron requested Pharaoh to
let the children of Israel go on a
three days' journey into the desert
to sacrifice unto the Lord their God.
Instead of a three days' journey it
was "in the third month" they reach-
ed Sinai where they were to meet
with God. This corning to Mount
Sinai was a memorable day in the
life of Moses. Once before he had
met with God there who called him
out of the midst of the burning bush,
and talked with him about the afflic-
tion of His people in Egypt, commis-
sioning him to go and deliver them
from the hand of Pharaoh. God then
gave him a pledge that He would be
always present with him. "And he
said, Certainly I will be with thee;
and this shall be a token unto thee,
that I have sent thee; when thou hast
brought forth the people out of Eg-
ypt, ye shall serve God upon this
mountain," Exodus 3:12). This
pledge was redeerned when God
"called unto him out of the mountain,
saying "Thus shalt thou say to the
house'of Jacob, and tell the children
of Israel; ye have seen what I did un-
to the Egyptians, and how I bare you
on eagle's wings and brought you un-
to myself" (verses 3, 4.) God was
covenanting with His people and He
appealed to their memory and their
gratitude. He wanted their sacrifice

to be a willing obedience, so Ele re-
minded them of the great host of
Egyptians that, was destroyed for
their deliverance, and with what
swiftness and security they were
brought through their journeyings.
As an eagle, protects the young by
making it, -as it were, a part of its
own body, so God brought them unto
Himself. After such intimate care
perfect obedience was not too much
to expect from them; having' been
saved by Him that which is now in-
.sisted upon is that they should be
ruled by Him. "Now, therefore, if
ye will obey my voice indeed, and
keep my covenant, then ye shall b,e a
peculiar treasure unto me above' all
people; for all the earth is mine; and
ye shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests, and an holy nation" (verses
5, 6). By thus separting them unto
Himself He separated them from and
honored them above all People, mak-
ing them "a kingdom of priests and
a holy natigan," because living in the
spirit of obedience they were all re-
garded as "kings and priests unto
God the Father." So today those
who render obedience unto and are
the followers of Jesus Christ are re-
garded as "a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation a
peculiar people. (r Pete.r 2:9)
Joseph Parker in his explanation
of this passage says, we have first
the history, then the obedience, then
the promise, then the detailed law;
and the detailed law coming after the
promise becomes an easy burden, and
a yoke so light as to be like a necklet
of jewels.
Isa. 43:9-xx--tiod's Challenge to Idol
Worshippers
In the years since God met ' with
Moses and gave him the ten com-
mandments, the children of Israel
had wandered far from Him, asso-
ciating with the idolatrous peoples
round about! them. Through Isaiah,
His prophet, He called upon them to
renew their allegiance. He challeng-
ed•the worshippers of idols to give
proof of the divinity of their false
gods. Their/ gods have eyes but they
see not, ears and hear not, and they
that trust in them are like unto them
(Ps. 1L5). They are "the blind peo-
ple that have eyes and the, deaf that
have ears" (verse, 8). They are cal-
led upon to produce witnesses in op-
position to the truth of the things
claimed by the true God, or if they
cannot, to acknowledge the truth of
the latter that "It is truth." Then
God referred to His own witnesses
and to His prophet to show that He
is the one living and true God and
that He was from eternity to etern-
ity. He was before idols were form-
ed, "They sacificed imto devils, not
to God; to gods whom they knew not,
to new gods that came newly up"
(Dent, 32:17),
"I, even I, arn the Lord." On a
former occasion when ,the priests of
Baal called, there was no response,
though they lashed themselves into
a .frenzy, calling. hour after hour up-
on their gods to hear and answer;
but God time and again gave proof
to the children of Israel that He does
hear and answer prayer; and to the
truth of this they could bear witness.
"And beside me there is no Sa-
viour." He is not only the supreme
Lord, but He is the only Saviour.
When the children of Israel 4arne
out of Egypt, the Lord alone did lead
them by a pillar of cloud by day and
a pillar of fire by night; and there
was no strange god with thern. Who
among the heathen nations can bring
their witnesses to prove the 'omni-
science and omnipotence of their
gods? If they can they shall be jus-
tified. If not let them hear the wit-
nesses of God and acknowledge. "It
is truth," The cause of God is not
afraid to be put tb the test for "great
is the truth and will prevail."
Isa. 45:20-22 The Universality of
The prophettileisGicisPntehlis passage a-
gain calling upon the Jews, and those
of other nations,' that escaped from
captivity in *Babylon, to come togeth-
er to bear what God has to say for
their good about the idols they wor-
shipped, 'deceiving themselves by
praying to a graven image that has
no power to help. They are urged to
take "counsel together" to know
what to say in defence of themselves
and their idols. God is a God of Jus-
tice, and having given these idol wor-
shippers every opportunity to prove
their case He now claims for Himself
that "there is no God else beside me,
a just God, and a, Saviour; there is
none beside me,"
God is not the God of the children
of Israel alone but of all peoples and
kindreds and tongues. He says
'Look unto me, and be ye saved, all
the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else." The children

piece of work at Dixie, Ont., at whiclt,
Edward Hammer, a Hydro lineman.,
met his death while in the perform-'
ance of his regular duties was in. --
eluded ia the verdict brought in by',
the jury, at the inquest held at. the
Morgue, Wednesday night, with Cor-
oner J. H. McConnell, Preaiding,
The verdict read as follows:- •
"The jury find that Edward Ham-
mer came to his death at St. j'oseph's-
Hospital on Sept. 26th as a result of .
electric shocks and burns and falling, s
from a steel, tower, No. 264, at Dixie,,
Ont., on Sept 23.
"Frcim the evidence, we are of the
opinion that the , Hydro -Electric --
Power Commission of Ontario hav
been very lax in not seeing that the -
rules have been enforced on this
job. We recommend, to ensure the,,
safety of the men, that in future,,
all men employed be given a copy'
of the rules." -
The evidence showed that Ham-
mer had gone up_ the pole to re-
move a hand -line off, one of the low-
er cross -arms. The rifle, it appear-
ed, was for the power to be shut offi
while such work. was being, done,.
According to Thomas Emmerson,
the foreman cif the job, he had an--
nounced to the men at 7.30 that
day that he was going to have the.
power cut off. He was not stre,
however, that Hammer was one of
the men who heard what he had'
said. The foreman stated in his
evidence that no one should have
gone up the pole until the power had
been cut off. Although the lines -
were dead on. the particular cross--
aril-1ton which Haminer was wo
ing, the line or lines above were
carrying ,a voltage of 110,000, His
theory was that while Hammer was
standing on the lower cross-aran,
the current from the lines. above,
when he had come within three.
feet of it, had jumped across and„
passing through the body, had -made:
a connection with the steel tower.
Su.b-Foreinan McCollum admitted
nrciPring tc,, '1" that partic-
ular. job, but had taken it for grant-
ed that Hammer would not have -
gone up until the power had"been cut
off.
Must Work Together
No -town can, grow as it should un-
less its People' work together in its.
The history of every
city that has rapid and substantial"
growth will show that united and en-
thusiastic work of its people had the
greatest part in making it grow. In
towns where a few Jive men boost
and work the town's upbuilding and
many are indifferent and do nothing,,
the work of city building is exceed-
ingly difficult and the results slow in
coming. If all boost and help to
build tip the town it is an easy mat-
ter to make the town push forward.
