Ps, 343, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- It is generally consider- ed that all of these psalms are lat- er than the time of David, but for determining exactly when they were written we simply do not have sufficient data,. Place -- Inasmuch as these psalms were for the most part used in the choral singing of the temple, they may be said to relate to the service of warship as carried on in Jerusalem, though geographical de- tails are missing. In this lesson we find some off the most beautiful expressions re- lating to the soul's experience in the worship of God that are to be found in the world's finest religious literature, be it Hebrew or Chris- tian. Let us saturate ourselves in these worship -less days with just such psalms as these, that our souls may have the most beautiful and heavenly language available for such a sacred act as approaching God in praise and adoration. Old as these psalms are, we supremely need them in this particular age of ours. This little psalm, Like Psalm 66, sees in abundant harvests a type and witness of God's kindness, And Psalm 67 is evideutler mucic later than the age of David, though It might have been composed even in the time of Hezekiah, when the great hope began to be entertained of Gad's blessing towards the na- tion. The psalm is a fervent ex- pression of a well-grounded hope, not a prophepy; it is the joyful out- pouring of a. heart which longs to see the God and Sing of Israel be- ing acknowledged and worshipped as God and Sing of the world. SING UNTO THE LORD Psalm 96 is a call for all the earth to sing praises unto the Lord. L Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. This is taken from Iso. 42: 10. Fresh mercies demand fresh ex- pressions of thanksgiving, and the deliverance of Israel from Babylon inaugurates a new stage in the na- tion's a- tions history. 2. Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; show forth his sal- vation from day to day. 3. Declare hie glory among the nations, his marvellous works among all the peoples. Only those can declare the glory of God and his wonders who know God. WORTHY' OP ADORATION 4. For great is Jehovah, and he is greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gads. 5. For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens. 6. Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Sufficient strength is the constant impartation of God's own nature to those who constant- ly abide within the sanctuary. 7. Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kin- dreds of the peoples, Aseribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. 8. Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his nosier Bring an offering and come into his courts. 9. Oh worship Jehovah in holy ar- ray: Tremble before him, all the earth. Here is a glorious appeal to the nations to acknowledge Jehovah. Men give unto the Lord glory when they acknowledge that God is him- self supremely glorious, and when they desire that all which they do in their own lives may be accord- ing that glory, may be a reflection of God's glory; they are ascribing strength unto Jehovah when they acknowledge that God on the one hand is alone omnipotent, and, on the other hand, is alone worthy of receiving the offering of the strength of meat. Men ought to live in sutft a way that their lives are a constant acknowledgement of and a reflection of the holy character of God himself. GOD RULES THE UNIVERSE 19. Say among the nations, Se` ltovadt reigneth: The world also is established that it eannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity. 11. Let the .hea.vens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the ful- ness thereof; 12. Let the, field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the woad sing for joy 1L Before Jehovah; for he coin- et.h. For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with rigbteousness, And the peoples with hie truth. Here is announced the glad the Ings which the world is to hear. The world's largest hopes are to be fulfilled. A new era is Lo begin, a reigns of r'igbteonsness and peace, a Vane so blessed tlfet even the Mae.

With the coining of Je- hovah and the setting up of his kingdom, all the broken harmonies of creation shall be restored (see Isa. 35:1; 42:10; 44':23; 45:18; 49: 13; 65:12.) Canadian exports of planks and boards itt June were valued at $6,640,000 in comparison with $4,741,000 in June 1939. Pur- chases by the United Kingdom amounted to $4,374,000 and by the United States $1,688,000 - THE WAR -WEE K—Commentary on Current Events TENSION IN BALKANS, NEAR EAST, HOLDING Evidence that from the Axis point of view the Battle of Britain. had entered upon a oritical phase was seen last week in the strong and urgent efforts spent by Berlin and Rome in keeping southeastern Europe at peace. So delicate the balance between Germany's victory and defeat over England appeared to be, that a. conflict arising in the Balkans could upset it'. . . The R,A.P. remained masters of fihe British sky, and the defences of England held .. , It was estim- ated that one-sixth of the entire German air force was being used in the aerial offensive against the R.A.F. and in the attempt to break the spirit of the British people During the week the German pian of mass bombing attacks seemed to have been abandoned in favor of "nuisance" bombing flights of one or two or three planes; and night after night the sleep of harassed Britons was punctuated by enforced trips to air-raid shelters . "A Nasty Shock" Hopes of early aid from the Unit- ed States grew stronger in Britain last week , . . The London Daily Mail said editorially: "The Daily Mail believes we are about to re- ceive further very substantial and valuable material aid from Presi- dent Roosevelt, It will be a very nasty shock for Hitler when it is officially announced" . . , Did the newspaper mean destroyers? Gold? U. S. planes? Gasoline? A new Italia:. offensive in North Africa was thought to he shaping up but before the southern armies of Mussolini could become poised for action, the British were attacking them in the rear, berat- ing Libyan ports and raiding air bases ... In Rome, it was general- ly believed that Italy's offensive when it came would either be dir- ected against British forces station- ed in Egypt (in which case Egypt would be thrown into the war) ; or that the big push might be pointed against the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, with the aim of joining Libya and East Africa. Japan Consolidates In the Par East, while Japan awaited the "go" signal from Bur- ope to step ahead with her avowed program of expansion in the South Seas, Nipponese statesmen were busy revamping the diplomatic ser- vice, er- ie vefallo wing recall of five am:bas= seders and nineteen ministers (in- cluding the one to Canada) , , , and were working at a new understand- ing with the Soviet Union, following the signing of the New Manchu - Mongol border agreement, in an ef- fort to consolidate the Japanese northern flank . - . Coincidentally with Chinese accounts of extensive withdrawal of Jap troops from North China, Dame news of renewed Traffic Nap Pedestrians of W i n f i eld, Kas., noticed a woman slump- ed over the wheel of a .car halted at a downtown inter., section. Finally someone call- ed a policeman. The officer watched for some time, saw no movement, walked over and tapped the woman's shoulder. She straightened with a• start.. "Just waiting for the red light to change," she explain- ed. Chinese military activity in that area The Week At Home Highlights of the news in Canada during the week: capture of two German prisoners interned in the Dominion and escape of two more . , the tobacco failure in southern Ontario where 50 per cent, of the crop was ruined by frost and thous- ands of migrant workers were ren- dered jobless , . . athtouncement that the calling -up of Canada's single young men for military ser- vice would commence about Octo- ber lst ... the first meeting in On fence tawa of the new Canada -U.S. de- fence board, at which the armed services of the two countries ex- changed secrets behind locked doors .. - a telegram to Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King from the Act- ing Premier of Alberta asserting that the wheat situation in the west was developing into a national em- ergency, urging that the Wheat Board take over this year's crap and issue negotiable grain tickets to farmers against storage grain of Fertilizing Wheat The rate at which fertilizer is applied to the acre for Wheat has a very important bearing on re- sults obtained, writes Prof. Henry G. Bell of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. Wheat re- moves a moderate amount of plantfood from the soil. A 30 bus. crop removes 50 lbs. nitro- gen, 20 of phosphoric acid and 30 of potash. 1f the Wheat soil does not con- tain at least this amount of avail- able plantfood during the grow - ing rowing period of the crop, normal yields will not be obtained, Amount And Balance In the addition of fertilizers it is not the intention of the grower to add to the soil all of the plant - food that a normal crop would remove. However, experiment and experience confirm and establish the fact that if no other factor such as shortage of moisture, poor seed or the like limit the growth of Wheat, the yield is directly influenced by the amount and balance of plantfood added. Eight tests as to the effect of rates of fertilizers were con- ducted in representative Wheat growing sections of the province. The following standard fertilizers were used :-0-12-10, 0-12-6, 0-16-6, 2-12-6, 2-12-10, 2-16-6. These were applied on ori acre plots at 250 and 125 lbs. per acre, and an equal area without fertilizer was grown as check.. Results are as follows:— Rate Av. Yield Per At, Gain -0- 22.5 125 lbs. 29.2 6.7 bus. 250 lbs. 35,1 12.6 bus. The difference in cost ranges from approximately $1.56 and $2.00 for 125 lbs. per acre of fertilizers used on Wheat to double these figures for 250 lbs. per acre, The Book Shelf n , "PERSONS, S P8R N PAPERS B S A ND THINGS" By Paul Biikey A book which is enjoying great popularity in Canada at present is this autobiography of a newspaper- man, Paul Bilkey, Editor -in -Chief of The Montreal Gazette.
