THE VOICE OF WISDOM. -
Proverbs 4.
PRINTED TEXT, Prov. 4: 10-27,
GOLDEN TEXT. -
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
For out of it are the issues of life.
Prov. 4: 23.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time. No definite date can be
given for the writing of these chap.
tees, but the author of most of the
book of Proverbs, Solomon, flour-
ished about 1000 B.C.
Place. -No geographical location
is mentioned anywhere la this chap-
ter.
The emphasis throughout the op-
ening section of this chapter, as in-
deed throughout the entire book
of Proverbs, is on the priceless
value and infinite importance of
wisdom. Wisdom has been defined:
"In all the complex relations of
human lite and conduct, to know
and do God's will." Wisdom is to
understand, so far as it is per-
mitted to man's finite intelligence,
the manifold adaptation and liar-
m•ony, the beauty and utility, of
nod's works and ways, and to turn
our knowledge of them to practic-
al account.
In this lesson we have a remark-
able illustration of the iufinitely
surpassing value of parental in.
structiou, especially iu the matters
of true character and religious
faith.
Rewards of Wisdom
Four inevitable blessings are
promised in this chapter to those
who truly and consistently embrace
such wisdom in their own life, and
let it instruct them in all that they
plan and undertake: • 1, Wisdom
will keep such a person from
trembling; 2, 'Wisdom will make
such a man's life balanced and
sane and healthy -whatever he un-
dertakes will succeed; 3, wisdom
will bring honor from his fellow
citizens to such a man; 4, finally,
such a man, as he goes on in years,
will find his whole life beautified
and adorned with a character of
strength, a character tried and test-
ed, a heart at peace because God
is known and trusted.
Two Paths of Life
The father here informs his son
concerning the two paths of life
and which one to follow. Prov, 4:
10.
11, Hear. 0 my son, and receive
my sayings; And the years of thy
life shall be many. I have taught
thee in the way of wisdom; I have
led thee in paths of uprightness.
12. When thou goest, thy steps
shall not be straightened; And i3
thou runnest, thou shalt not
stumble, Widening of the steps is
an Oriental figure for the bold and
free movements of one in prosper-
ity, as the straitening (narrowing)
of them is the constrained and tim-
id action of one in adversity.
13. Take fast hold of instruction;
let her not go: Keep her; for she
is thy life.
14. Enter not into the path of the
wicked, And walk not in the way
of evil men,
15. Avoid it, pass not by it; Turn
from it, and pass on,
16. For they sleep not, except
they do evil; And their sleep is
taken away, unless they cause
some to fall.
17. For they eat the bread of
wickedness. .And drink the wine of
violence.
Instruction of a positive nature
urging the son to walk in the way
of wisdom is now followed by in-
struction of a negative form, warn-
ing the son to keep far, far away
from the path of wicked men.
18. But the path of the righteous
is as the dawning light, That shin-
eth more and more unto the perfect
day.
19. The way of the wicked is as
darkness. They know not at what
they stumble.
The path of the righteous begins
like the light of dawn. It is small.
in its beginning. The new-born
Christian is like a rising sun strug-
gling
trutsgling through the mists of morn.
Life of True Integrity
20. My son, attend to my words;
Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21. Let them not depart from
thine eyes; Keep them in the midst
of thy heart.
22. For they are life unto those
that find them, And health to all
their flesh,
23, Keep thy heart with all diI-
igence; or out of it are the issues
of life.
The fountains and wells of the
Bast were watched over with spec,
ia1 care. A stone was rolled to the
mouth of the well so that "a spring
shut up, a fountain sealed" became
the type of all that is more jealous-
ly guarded. So it is here, The heart
le such a fountain; out of it flow
the issues of life.
24. Put away from thee a way-
ward mouth, And perverse hips put
far from thee.
The Hebrew word here translat-
ed "wayward" means literally disc
tertian, and the phrase indicates
a twisting at the truth; perverse
lips are those that turn aside from
the truth.
25, Let thine eyes look right on,
And let thine eyelids look straight
before thee.
Canadian "Clads" Me Planted in American. $oil
Hon. T. 13. McQuesten, Niagara Parks commission chairman, and
Ontario minister of highways, presents to Margaret Anne Mather cut-
tings of Canadian gladioli to be planted in American soil. Occasion
was dedication in Fort Erie, Ont., of Mather Park, named in honor of
Alonzo Mather, 91, Chicago and Los Angeles industrialist, who donated
the land. The park is the only memorial in Canada to a'living Ameri-
can. The girl is a cousin of the donor.
26, Make level the path of thy
feet, And let all thy ways be estab-
lished.
27. Turn not to the right hand
nor to the left: Remove thy foot
from evil.

Weeds: Farmer's
Perpetirla! Enemy
Weeds are the farmer's per-
petual enemy and must be fought
continually says John D. Mac-
Leod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds
Branch, Ont, Dept. of Agricul-
ture, Toronto. It is unfortunate
that nature endows weeds with
more ability to maintain and per-
petuate themselves than it does
cultivated crops.
Here are a few figures as
quoted in the "Seed World"
showing the reproducing qualities
of weeds and the number of
years they will maintain their
germination:
Seeds per plant Life
Dock 8,000 40 yrs., plus
Pig Weed 12,000 40 yrs., plus
Mustard 20,000 40 yrs., plus
Peppergrass 14,000 40 yrs,, plus
Buckthorn 2,000 40 yrs., plus
Dodder 5,000 20 yrs,, plus
Smartweed 2,000 25 yrs.
Sorrell 3,000 20 yrs.
Thistle 9,000 20 yrs.
In England it was discovered
weeds lived in the soil 58 years.
The United States Dept. of Ag-
riculture planted 107 varieties of.
weeds and 51 grew after 21 years,
proving that weeds once in the
soil have an excellent chance to
produce at some period.
Here are a few disadvantages
of weeds:
1. Rob soil of fertility.
2. Make harvesting difficult.
3. Cut down yields.
4. Reduce quality of crop.
5. Reduce value of land.
6. Take needed moisture from
the soil.

A Seed Shortage
Corning In 1942?
Dominion Agricultural Sup -
piles Board Believes Certain
Ili-ennial Field Roots May
Then Be Short- Cabbage,
Beets, Cauliflower, Parsnips
The Seed Supply Committee of
the Agricultural Supplies Board,
which was formed after the out-
break of war last• September, has
been following closely Canadian
' seed supplies of cereals, fibre flax,
forage crops, field roots and garden
vegetable seeds, For the seed sea-
son of 1940 normal seed supplies
were found available and the pros-
pects for 1941 seed supplies now
are favourable.
Careful investigation of seed
stocks on hand, seed imports and
exports and contracts for delivery
in 1941 and 1942 indicate a prab-
able shortage in 1942 of certain bi-
ennial field roots and vegetable
crops including Mengel, Swede, Gar-
den Beet, Cabbage, Cauliflower,
Parsnips aiMd also two annual crops
Radish and Spinach,
DUTCH SUPPLIES CUT OFF
Respective seed shortages from
these crops are due to the cutting
off of supplies from Holland and
Denmark and to uncertainty as to
quautities that may be imported
from Great Britain,
This situation was reported to
the Agricultural Supplies Board, at
the conference with representatives
of Provincial Departments of Agri-
culture, held in Ottawa, July 18 to
20. 1t was agreed at that time that
as an insurance against possible
shortage in 1942 the production of
seeds in Canada from approved
seed stocks of these crops of cer-
tain definite quantities under a joint
plan between Provincial Depart-
ments of Agriculture and the Board
should be undertaken.
The Province's
Grain Harvest
Western Ontario, W a fe r -
Soaked, Is Weeks Behind
Schedule - Central and
Eastern Areas Report Much
Better Progress
'Western and Southern Ontario,
water -soaked and with less :than
half of its spring grain crop gar-
nered the first week end in Sep-
tember, showed marked contrast
with the counties in Central an.d
Eastern sections of the Province,
according to the weekly crop re -
,port issued by the Department of
Agriculture.
Carleton, for example, report-
ed "splendid harvesting weather."
Frontenac reported "80 per cent
of the threshing is completed,"
while in Leeds "milk production
is falling somewhat due to dry-
ing of pastures." Prince Edward
reported "rain is badly needed,"
In Northumberland, more than
90 per cent of spring grain crops
had been harvested.
ENOUGH FEED FOR STOCK?
Agricultural officials, were
hopeful that enough grain was
to be harvested in Western and
Southern Ontario to supply feed
for stock, but were not betting
on it. They definitely feared that
the sections would not be able to
produce seed grain for next
spring. Potatoes throughout these
entire districts were being at-
tacked by blight, and, it were es-
timated, scores of fields would be
a total loss.
The survey reveals that hun-
dreds of acres of fall wheat,
which normally should have been
harvested in July; were still in
the stook. Sprouting had start-
ed in every county in the two
areas.

An .order .of 67,000 pounds of eel
will soon be shipped to Ragland,
the Minister said, About 2,000
pounds of the largest eels will be
sent along as samples, The Minister
expressed the hope that export of
the product would 'increase stead-
ily.
Another 40,000 pounds have been
preserved for possible sale to the
Department of National Defence as
food for prisoners of war, the Mia•
ister said,
