Review, --Road Psalm 103: 1-12, •
Summary, -Lesson I, Topic : Beho -
boam's answer to the ten tribes and
their revolt. Place • The assembly was
held at Shechem. After Solomon's death
the people assembled at Shechem to
choose a new king. Solomon's so;
Rehoboam was heir to the throne; he
was young and tender hearted, but vain
and wicked; the people asked to be re-
lieved of . excessive taxation; Rehoboam
counseled with the people as to what
answer he should give; he forsook the
counsel of the old men and listened to
the counsel of the young men; he return-
ed a stern reply and said he would be
more severe than even his father SoIo-
mon had been; ten of the twelve tribes
then revoltd and chose Jeroboam as
king.
I. Topic : Jeroboam's effort to estab-
lish himself in his kingdom. Place : The
northern part of Palestine. As soon as
Jeroboam was declared king of the ten
,tribes, he took measures to establish
himself in his kingdom; there were bright
prospects before him; he enlarged and
fortified several cities; he then took
steps to keep his people from going to
Jerusalem to worship fearing that if
they did their hearts would become at-
tached to Rehoboam and that they then
would kill him; he made two calves of
gold and set one up in Bethel, and the
other in Dan, urging the people to wor-
ship in these cities instead of going to
Jerusalem. This became a sin for the
people soon fell into idolatry.
III. Topic : .Judah's prosperity and
victory. Place : Judah, Asa's kingdom.
After the death of Rehoboam, Abijah,
his son, reigned in his stead; his reign
was short, .and at his death, Asa, his son
reigned in Judah forty-one years; Asa
was a good king and did what was right
in the sight of the Lord; he removed the
altars of the strange gods which had
been set up in the kingdom and broke
down the images which had been erect-
ed to idols; he •commanded his people to
seek the Lord and to obey his law; Ire
fortified the cities in Judah; the land
had rest from war for many years; Asa
raised an army to meet the Ethiopians,
who came against him; the battle was
set in array; Asa cried unto the Lord;
the Lord caused the Ethiopians to flee.
IV. Topic : Jehosaphat establishing
a judiciary. Place : Jehosaphat reigned
over Judah. At the death of Asa, Je-
hosaphat, his son, reigned in his stead
for twenty-five years. Jehosaphat was
a good king and trusted God; he thor-
oughly cleansed the land from idolatry,
but he committed a great error in join-
ing himself to Ahab; he went with Ahab
to fight against Ben-hadad, king of Sy-
ria; the prophet of the Lord warned him
not to go, but he did, and Ahab was
slain. Then Jehu, the prophet, reproved
Jehosaphat for helping the ungodly and
for loving those who hated the Lord;
after this Jehosaphat appointed judges
in the land and did what he could to re-
form the people and atone for the course
lie had pursued.
V. Topic: The, idolatry of Israel's
kings. Place: Omri and .Ahab reign-
ed over the ten tribes. Omri and Ahab
were both' very wicked kings; they led
the people into the worship of idols and
fully established Baal worship in the
land; the prophets of God were slain and
his worship forbidden; Omri founded the
city of Samaria and made it his capital;
at his death Ahab, his son, reigned in his
stead; Ahab was worse than any of the
kings that had preceded, for he married
Jezebel, .a heathen woman.; he built a
s Nettie Blackmore,
neapolis, tells how any young
woman may be permanently
cured of monthly pains by tak-
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.
" YOUNG WOMEN : — I had frequent
headaches of a severe nature, dark
spots before my eyes, and at my men-
strual periods I suffered untold agony.
A member of the lodge advised me to
try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, but I only scorned
good advice and felt that my case was
hopeless, but she kept at me until I
bought a bottle and started taking
it. I soon had the best reason in the
world to change my opinion of the
medicine, as each day my health im-
proved, and finally I was entirely with-
out pain at my menstruation periods.
I am -host grateful." — NErr E Baleen -

house in honor of .Baal in Samaria and
set up images to the heathen god; the
judgments of the ,Lord fell upon Ahab,
and he was slain in battle.
VI. Topic: Elijah's obedience and
faith. Place: Samaria, Brook Client;
and Garephath. Elijah the prophet ap-
p'eared to Ahab and told him that there
would be a great drought and famine m
the land which would continuo three
years; the Lord sent Elijah to the brook
Uherith; the ravens fed him there; the
brook dried up; Elijah was sent to Gare-
phath; a widow woman was commanded
to feed Elijah; he asked her for a little
water; told her to bring him a morsel
of bread; she said she had brit little ;
Elijah encouraged her and asked her to
bring him a cake first ; he said they
would all be supplied.
VII. Topic: Elijah meets Obadiah and
Ahab. Place: Somewhere in Ahab's
kingdom. The famine had lasted three
years and six months; the supplies were
exhausted; the Lord told Elijah to show
himself to Ahab; Obediah and Ahab
were seeking grass; suddenly Elijah ap-
peared to Obadiah and asked him to tell
Anab that Elijah was there; Obadiah.
feared and said that if he should tell
Ahab that Elijah was here, and then the
prophet did not appear to Ahab, he would
bo slain; Elijah said that he would cer-
tainly appear to Ahab; Elijah asked
Ahab to gather all lsrael and the pro-
phets of Baal upon Mount Carmel.
V111. Topic: Elijah convincing Israel
that Jehova is the true god. Place: Mt.
Carmel and Jezreel. A test was pro-
posed by emjah in order to prove that
he was the true God; Baal's prophets
prepared their sacrifice and called upon
their god to send fire; no answer; Elijah
prepared his offering; dug a trench; cov-
ered the offering and the altar and filled
the trench with water; Elijah then calmed
upon God and fire fell from heaven; the
sacrifice and„the wood and the stone
were consumed, and the water in the
trench was licked up; the people said,
" Jehovah is ,God.." The 450 prophets
of Baal were slain.
IX. Topic: Elijah's flight. Places: Jez-
reel, Beer-sheha and Horeb. Ahab told
Jezebel all Elijah had done; Jezebel sent
a messenger warning Elijah that he
mould be killed; Elijah fled for his life;
dismissed his servant; went a day's jour-
ney into the wilderness; sent angels to
care for him.
X. Topic: God's manner of dealing
with Elijah. Place: Horeb, the mount of
God.. Elijah was at Horeb or Sinai, hid
in a cave. God asked Elijah why he was
there; Elijah told the Lord how zealous
he had been, and how they had sought
his life; God caused a great wind to rend.
the mountain and break the rocks, and
after the wind an earthquake, and after
the earthquake a fire, 'but the Lord was
not revealing Himself in these; follow-
ing these manifestations, the Lord spoke
in a still, small voice.
XL, Topic: The parting of Elijah and
Elisha. Places: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho,
and the place where Elijah was trans-
lated; Elijah made a farewell visit to
the schools of the prophets; Elijah asked
Elisha -what he should do for him; Elisha
said, "Let a double portion of thy spirit
be upon me." Elijah went up by a whirl-
wind into heaven.
XII. Topic: Israel reproved and ex-
horted to seek God. Places: Amos was
a native of Telcoa, but prophesied at
Bethel. Jeroaboam II. was king of
Israel; the kingdom was prosperous and
rich: the people were very wicked and
were worshipping idols; because of their
sins Amos tells them that they would
bc•carried into captivity.
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
A disastrous clivi; ' yn. For nearly thir-
teen centuries the as dent of Jewish his-
tory had flowed the igh a devious but
undivided channcl.;1nt ited and obedient
God's people were , j tneonquerable, and
from a nation of kayos had risen to
peerless power an =rivaled glory,
which exceeded all ,,, , far and fabulous
accounts and before which the splendor
of Sheba faded into astonished insignifi-
cance. Divided and contending, their
strength wasted and glory declined until
the once proud and powerful people be-
came an easy prey to their enemies, They
were literally "consumed one of an-
other?'
Lessons two, five and twelve are con-
nected with the story of Israel, the se-
ceding kingdom. They should be reviewed
in connection. In them we have national
evil introduced, inereased, rebuked. Jero-
boam, forgetful of the power which had
lifted him from the estate of a fugitive
to sovereignty, violated the first funda-
mental command and as a political stra-
tagem introduced idolatry, thereby ac-
complishing the extermination of his
own household, and started his people
at the very threshold of their history on
the steep decline toward national de-
gradation and ruin. The history of the
past teaches that any nation departing
from true worship and obedience to di-
vine conunands, invites disorder and des-
truction France abandoned God, defied
reason and beauty and Wept repentant
tears of blood in the bitter strife of the
revolution. America temporized with
human slavery and five sanguinary years
wrought out the purification and punish-
ment. She bows to -day before the legal-
ized liquor traffic and is reaping the sad
harvest of corruption and crime, and in-
creasing confusion sweeps from ocean to
ocean, while darker clouds hang on• the
horizon.
Lessons three and four represent a
brief but consecutive period in the event-
ful history of the original and preserved
kingdom - of Judah. The subject consider-
ed seems to be rulers and reforms. Solo-
mon declared that "when the righteous
are in authority the people rejoice; but
when the wicked bear rule the people
mourn?' Asa and Jelioshaphat were both
reformers, though diverse spheres en-
listed and occupied their activities. Re-
hoboam, like his rival sovereign, early
forgot his obligation to the Supreme Au-
thority, on which depends the stability
of all thrones. Chastisement followed, but
utter destruction was averted by a timely.

Department of Agriculture,
Commissioner's Branch,
Seventeen illustration poultry fatten-
ing stations are being operated this year
by the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture under the supervision of Mr. F. C.
Elford, Acting Chief of the Poultry Divi-
sion. The following is a list of these sta-
tions, -with the names of the operators in
charge:.
Ontario—Bowmariville, A. W. Foley;
Holmesville, T. P. Foster.
Quebec—Bondville, A. P. Hillhouse;
Chicoutimi, T. 0. Lachance; La Trappe,
Rev. Father Edward; Stanford, Frank
Parley; L'Islet, Auguste Fafard.
New Brunswick—Andover, George E.
Baxter; Rogersville, F. Richard,
Nova Scotia—East Amherst, Alex.

Prince Edward Island—Vernon River
Bridge, Robert Furness; Alberton, H, J.
Matthews; Eldon, Rouert Longard; Glen-
finnan, David Macdonald; Montague
Bridge, William Campbell; Mount Stew-
art, Montague Pigott,
A great deal of the operator's time is
given to Showing farmers how the work
of fattening is done, therefore the sal-
ary of the operator and the cost of in-
stalling the plant are considered as ex-
perimental and educational expenditures.
The selling price of the dressesd chickens
is, however, expected to execed the first
oust of the chickens and the cost of feed-
ing, plucking and marketing. The work
of each stations is confined to fattening
enough chickens for illustration pur-
pose. About+200 is the maximum num-
ber kept at one time. The operator is
not allowed to- be a competing buyer
with others who have began to fatten
chickens as a private enterprise. If the
farmers are alrtady getting a fair price
for their poultry, .the Station will con-
fine its efforts to illustration or experi-
mental work with even less than 200
birds. Those who are carrying on the
work for themselves will] be considered
not rivals but friends, and will be offered
assistance where possible,
Special attention is being .paid to
choosing the right sort of bird for fat-
tening; for instance, the blocky type of
Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte is recom-
mended as suitable for the purpose. The
operators are required to spendas much
of their time as may be required in as-
sisting those who are engaged in or en-
tering the business, by giving instruction
in buying the proper type for fattening,
in killing and plucking, packing, shipping,
etc.
Only birds of the proper type will be
bought this year, and seven cents per
pound will be paid for these at the sta-
tions. An extra good type might well be
worth eight cents, while another type of
the same breed would be too dear at five
cents a pound.
Each •operator is considered responsible
for the work and success of his own sta-
tion. He is expected, as far as possible,
to find a suitable market for the birds
fattened at his station. The Department
will, however, endeavor to provide a
market for any surplus stock above local
requirements. Each station will be con-
ducted as much like a private enterprise
as posible, the Department assisting the
operator in marketing, etc., as it would
a private firm initiating a new business.
The demand for chickens fattened at
the Government stations is very brisk
this season, and front the offers already
received it is expected that the ruling
price will be from 11 to 13 cents per
pound.' Parties fattening chickens nc-
cording to the methods recommended by
the Poultry Division, who may wish as-
sistance'in marketing. can obtain. on ap-
plication to Mr. Elford, a list of dealers
who will be glad to purchase their birds.
Yours very truly,
W. A. Clemons,
Publication Clerk.
first care was the removal of the oc-
casions and evidences of idolatry. Im-
ages were broken, their altars were des-
troyed, the groves cut down and the peo-
ple commanded to `seek the Lord God of
their fathers, and to do the law and the
commandments."
In lessons six to ten we turn from
truths of public to those of personal im-
port, disclosed in a life closely inter-
woven with civil affairs. The character
of Israel's prophet, austere, unbending,
and unblemished, and hiding a great
wealth fo tender sympathy, towers in
majestic solitude above the corruptions
of the times like the glittering snow -
crowned summit of some lofty moun-
tain above the mists of the shadowed
valleys below. God always has such who
stand as human landmarks in erne of
general decline in church or state. Their
stern rebukes are the clarion call of
dutywith a ringing echo of doom if dis-
regarded. Fearless and faithful such men
become the storm centres of progress.
A peerless procession of such characters
move down the ages as God's advance
guards, the leaders of reform and her-
alds of progress. The perennial truths of
this magnificient life are many and var-
ied.

Heart relief in half an hour.
—A lady in New York State, writing of her
cure by Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart,
says: "I feel like one brought back from
the dead, so great was my suffering from
heart trouble and so almost miraculous my
recovery through the agency of this power-
ful treatment. I owe my life to it." -19.
RHODES' SCHOLARSHIPS.
Dr. Parkin Makes an Announcement
Respecting the rgo5 Appointments.
Toronto, Sept, 19.—Dr. George R.
Parkin, commissioner for the Cecil
Rhodes Scholarship Trust, announces
that the examinations connected with
the appointment of the Rhodes scholars
for the year 1905 will be held through-
out Canada about the middle of January
next, and that the committees of seiec-
ion or the universities making appoint-
ment will be expected to furnish to the
trustees the names of the selected schol-
ars during the month of April.
Many of the Oxford colleges complete
their entrance lists for October during
the summer term, and in order that the
scholars may be entered at the various
colleges with due regard to their own
preference it has been found necessary
to fix upon these earlier dates for ex-
amination and election.

Bradstreet's on Trade. -
There Inas been runner improvement
in the wholesale trade situation at Mont-
real this week. Orders have been coming
forward in an encouraging manner and.
the general outlook for the fall and early
winter trade, is for most departments -
of business, regarded as particularly pro-
mising. The values of staple goods and -
imported lines are firm. New cotton
prices have not yet been issued but are
expected soon.
Business in Toronto has continued act-
ive this week. There have been ninny
buyers in the market and they have been.
purchasing liberally for the coming sea-
son. The buying for shipment to in
land water points has been heavier.
At Quebec the business of the weekin
various lines has been rairly active. The'
Exhibition, which has been in full swing,
has been well patronized and the exhib-
its in the various departments showed'
up well. The shoe trade is still very dull:
Hamiltonwholesale trade circles this-
-week have displayed more activity. Num-
bers of buyers have been in the market
and they have placed liberal sized sort-
ing parcels for the fall and winter trade.`
Prices of manufactured goods are firmly
held. The outlook for businesss is good.
The movement of trade in Loidon,this-
week has been satisfactory. The sorting
demand for the fall is developing nicely.
Stocks do not seem to be excessive in'
any department.
At Victoria, Vancouver and other Pa-
cific Coast trade centres, business - has•
shown some revival this week, The real:
estate market is much more active.
