Joshua giv- ing . the ebnimands of the Lord, the priests going before and blowing trum- pets hail. each .armed man in his place. Not "many men, many minds," but many men with one mind, the mind of God, marching solidly, unswervingly, to vie - tory. Nothing can stand before a unit- ed people whose centre is Christ. HI. The courage of faith. "They, come passed. the city six days" (v. 14). It took courage for Joshua to issue a command for a military manoeuvre so apparently senseless. How well this great general heeded the four times re- peated exhortation in. his commission, "Be of good courage" (Dent. 31, 6; Josh. 1, 6, 7, 9)! It'took courage for priests and people to obey a command so appar- ently useless, Th people from the city walls must have laughed them to scorn. But God honored the courage of their faith and the walls felt III. Jericho accursed (vs. 17-19). 17. The city shall beelevoted 01'01 ..to Jeho- vah (R.

"It would be sacrilege to dedicate the whole to Jeho- vah and then take possession of a part for their own use." -Steele.. Make the camp accursed (R. V.) -If any one should take for personal use that which had been dedicated' to God, it would be the means of bringing a curse upon them, and the camp would be trou- bled and distressed because -of it. 19. The silver, etc. -Everything of value was to be set apart, for the service of the tabernacle. and counted among the sacred. things. God would be honored by enriching his dwelling place. His cause is built upon the destruction of the enemy's strongholds. This would teach the Israelites not to set their hearts on worldly wealth, and would show the nations around that.they were not a set of marauders seeking for plun- der. 20. Feil IV. Jericho captured (v. 20). down flat -Several commentators, both Jews and Christians, have supposed that the ground under the foundations of the walls opened, and that the walls sunk into the chasm, so that there remained nothing but plain ground far the Israel- ites to walk over. Probably the wall fell down from its foundations in every part. --Clarke.

The people compassed the city, the .Priests blew the trumpets. they all shouted in token that the city was theirs, while the gates were still closed, the walls still standing and an armed host still waiting to conic out and destroy diem. faith can shout before the walls fall. Anybody can shout when they see the enemy runlung; only those who believe God. can shout knowing the enemy will run. God said, "1 have given into thine Band Jericho." Joshua lieved it be- le before the� walv. ls fell, "Shout, He said to i +fore e the Lord hath given you the city" (v. 16.) "By faith Rahab perished. not" (Heb. 11; 31.) "I know God. bath given you the land," was her word to the spies (Josh. 2; 9.) God said to Abrarh, 'A father of many nations have I made thee," when he changed his name from Abram, high father, to Abraham, fatllecr of a multi- tude (Gen..,17; 5.) For many years"titre childless old roan bore the name which must have made him a laughing stock to his neighbors. But it paid to stand with God and call "the things which be not as though they were" (Rom. 4; 17.) God tells us whatsoever things we desire when we pray we are to believe that 'wo "have received" them and we shall have them (Mark 11; 24, R. V.) Whether we come for pardon, purity or power the process is the same. Desire, pray, be- lieve, receive, is the divine order. As we write a grateful acknowledgment of a cheque before we have cashed it,; as we sign a postal order saying, "Received the above," before the money is placed in our hands, so faith dares to say, "God has given, I have received," before there i sphysical or spiritual knowledge of it. Feeling is the result of faith. We have "joy and peace in ;believing" (Rom: 15; 13.) Not joy and peace so that we may believe. God bath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ. V. The victory of faith. "Every man straight before him, and they took the city" (v. 20.) S. A. Keen's experience upon entering Canaan and taking Jeri- cho is interesting: For fourteen years Jesus had been the morning star of my soul in the precious sense of pardon. Through all the years I had longings for spiirtual apprehensions of a higher life. One day in a storm of bewilder- ment and heaviness I said, "Lord, I am thine, for thee to do this thing for me." Peace unutterable eanie. I did not know that to give over to Jesus to do for me what I could not do for myself was faith, and that what had come of this was full of salvation; but. eighteen hours later I saw the Holy Spirit had cleansed, filled and completely saved me. -A.

Fight of Faith" (I, Tim. 6.12.) Every Jordan has its Jericho. Faith is the victory that takes the citadel (I. John 5, 4) . J ericho was one of the cities which the spies had described as "great and walled up to heaven" (Deut. 1, 28). It was so strongly fortified that it was impossible to take it by human effort. But man's extremity is God's oportunity. "By faith the walls of Jericho fell lona after they were compassed about seven days" (Iteb. 11, 30). Faith is the sub- stance, the real thing, riot the shadow of things hoped for, Faith is the evi- , denee of things not seen (lleb. 11,1). Whoin having not seen we love (L Pet. 1, 8). Faith as well as grace is the gift of God (Eph. 2, 8). Peter writes to those who have "obtained like precious faith" (II. Pet. 1,1); the faith of God (Mark 11, 22, marg.); the faith that is by Him (Acts. 3, 16); the faith by which we live (Gal. 2, 20) is illustrated in oar lesson. We see, I. The work of faith. "Joshua rose ear- ly" (v. 12), "They rose early" (v. 15). Prompt obedience ever accompanies faith. Abiiaham "rose early" to begin that three days' march of faith (Gen. 22, 3), which earned hien the title of friend of God" (Jas. 2, 23) mild Sather of the faith- ful (Gal. 3, 7), 11.

During the past year very material progress has been made liy way of per- fecting our methods of potato improve- ment and in instituting their application throughout the country. At the last meeting of the association a very excel leizt paper on "Potato ' Improvement' was read by Mr. W. T. h`Iacoun, horticul- turist at the Central. Experimental Farm. Upon the work which Mr. Ma- coun and many other authorities on the potato plant, both at home and abroad, have done, a system of potato improve- ment suitable for use among Canadian growere was drafted and is being applied by several this year. The system adopt- ed is simple and praetical, yet is founded on scientific prixzeiples, the individual plant being taken as the basis for im- provement. The tubers produced by each plant aro morphologically considered, simply swollen portionsof the vegetative and not of the reproductive system. The question has therefore been raised as to whether or not the principles through of breeding which apply in the case of sexual reproduction through the seed, obtain in a sexual reproduction or per- petuation through parts of the vegeta- tive system. Bud variation is, as a rule, more narrow than is seed variation, and some investigators claim that a part of any plant cannot possess qualities which differ materially from those of another part of the same plant. The best obtain- able evidence at the present time does not support this view, and the "individu- ality" of different parts is now general- ly recognized. Since the tubers pro- duced by any single plant are all dis- tinct parts of that plant, the possibility of variation in the productive capacity and in other qualities"" is recognized. The system drafted for use by this association enables the grower to plant the seed tubers taken from the different hills which were especially chosen for seed purposes the year previous, so that any promising variation which may re- sult may be selected and used in en- deavoring to build up a strong, healthy and productive type. Furthermore, is almost all parts of Ganda no matter how suitable may be the conditions, there are many adverse conditions with which the potato has 'to contend. Un- fortunately, man himself is often the wont enemy of the potato, and uncon- sciously, though very materially, assists in its downfall. The using of small po- tatoee from. degenerate hills ie perhaps one of the most glaring examples TATO IMP OVEMENT 7 Carried o . Throughout Canada leader the Direction of the Canadi to Seed Growers' .Association. the individual grower•'In districts where disease is troublesome the desirability of developing strains capable of withstand- ingthese maladies is such that spraying is ignored, and those plants which have shown the greatest power in resisting disease are chosen. The difference be- tween varieties in their aptitude toward blight and other diseases as observed at the different experiment stations is so noticeable that the development of disease -resistant strains seems to offer great possibilities. lvote-Potato growers looking fox, maximum crops are recommended to try the above system. While anyone may carry on the work independent of the above association, yet there are certain advantages which come through organ- ized effort. We advise all, therefore, who desire to know more of this work to communicate at once with the secre- tory, Canadian Seed Growers' Assoeia- tion, Canadian Building, Ottawa, Ont., as the best time for selecting for next year's crop is not far distant. e�l alts lthet eelifh d!t �Jtle.41.

U. -At 4 o'clock this morning, when the fierce southwest gale was at its highest, the sixty -ton schooner Martell° was driven neliore at Souris, near the wharves, and her wreckage now strews the beach. Size was owned by Captain Hayden, River John, N, S., and was employed this summer carrying gravel from Cape George. N. S., for the new concrete rail- way wharf under construction. Last night at 9 o'clock she anchored in lee of the breakwater; the gale freshened, the anchor dragged, and tine schooner was driven on the ruins of the old wharf. In attempting to put out the kedge anchor the crew lost their boat. Giving up hope of saving the schooner, they took to the rigging, and shouted for help.
