The messenger that brought these gland tidings to Jerusalem is exhorted to announce the happy news to the remaining cities of Judah—to go to an eminence --to lift up the voice— and to proclaim that their God had came (verse 9) - In verses 10, 11 the assurance is given that he would come 'with a strong hand'—,Almighty and aIle to save; he would come as a tender and gentle shepherd, regarding especially the weak and feeble of his people— language alike applicable to God, who should conduct the people from exile to their own land, and to the Messiah. The prophet then refers not only to God, the Shepherd of Is- rael, but to Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, who gathers the weak and straying ones in the arms of his power out of which none shall be able to pluck them (John 10, 28). Con- densed from Barnes' Commentary. S. S. LESSON FOR APRIL 21st, 1929 Lesson Topic—Comfort For God's People. Lesson Passage—Isaiah 40:1-11. Golden Text—Isaiah 66:13. The subject of the whole prophecy contained in chapters 40-66 is intro- duced in verses 1, 2. The general de- sign is to comfort the afflicted and oppressed people of God. They are contemplated as in Babylon, and as near the close of the exile. Jerusa- lem is regarded as in ruins; the land is waste and desolate; the city and the temple are restroyed, their cap- tivity is about to end, and the people about to be restored to their own land. In this situation, the, prophet is directed to address words of con- solation to the oppressed and long - captive Jews, and to assure them that their calamities are about to close. Jerusalem—now in ruins—was to he assured that the end of her desolation ''was near, for that an ample punish- ment had been taken for all her sins. In verses 3-8 the prophet repre- sents the deliverance under an image taken from the march of earthly kings. The voice of a herald is heard in the wilderness making proclama- tion that every obstacle should be re- moved. that Jehovah might return to Zion conducting his people. As he Bad conducted them from the land of Egypt, so he was about to conduct them from Babylon, and to appear again in Jerusalem and in the temple. Between Babylon and Jerusalem there was an immense tract of country which was a pathless desert. A 'ghway would have to be made 'over which the people might pass in safe- ty. But the Holy Spirit who directed and inspired the prophet suggested language that would be applicable to e far more important event, when the (herald of the Messiah should an - ounce his coming. The main thing ronilich the voice was to cry is repre- senbed in verses 6-8.

He is seeking for God through Brahma and through Krishna. Suppose God would give Himself through the Brahma ap- proach, it will fix in the mind of the seeker that God is like Brahma in character. If He is like Brahma He is less than, God. And if God is Krishna -like in character, I am com- pelled to say that I would turn away from Him, for I know ten thousand men better in character than Krishna was. . . I know nothing higher for Goa to be like than to be like Christ. If the heart of the Father of the uni- verse is like to this gentle heart that broke on the Cross He can have my heart without qualification and with- out reservation. "There is nothing else that expres- ses the truth about our moral and spiritual universe; therefore, when Jesus stands and quietly says, 'I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by me,' it is not some arbitrary power speak- ing, it is eternal fact speaking out of the heart of truth to the heart of re- ality. Christ is the way, and if He cannot save the world I do not think it can be saved."—Stanley E. Jones. TiDips ive ding 1'°ill Warns Stomach Sufferers. Neutralize Dangerous Acids in Stomach with Hot Water and Magnesia. "Never force the digestion of fer- menting food from your stomach simply to get temporary relief from indigestion," says a well known au- thority. The habit of taking diges- tive pills after meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women because artificial digest- ents, drugs and medicines have prac- tically no influence upon the exces- sively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the cause of most forms of indigestion and dyspepsia. The after dinner pill merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a false sense of freedom from pain. If those who are subject to indigestion, bloating, gas, sour stomach, belching, heart- burn, etc., after eating would get a little pure Bisurated Magnesia (either powder or tablets) from any reliable druggist and take a teaspoonful of the powder or two of the tablets in a little water after meals, there would be no further necessity for drugs or medicines because the Bisurated Mag- nE sia instantly neutralizes stomach acidity, stops food fermentation and thus insures normal, painless diges- tion by enabling the stomach to do its work without hindrance. wealth iaa Wold Ceeee ,,:,r furs.

Thousands of mothers state that they know of no other medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tab- lets—that they always keep the Tab- lets in the home as a preventive of childhood ailments, or it sickness does suddenly grip their little ones they feel safe with such a remedy at hand. Concerning the use of the Tablets Mrs. Donat Ploudre, Tingwick, Que., writes:—"I have nothing but praise for Baby's Own Tablets. They are the only medicine I have ever given my two little ones and I am glad to state that the Tablets have always kept them in perfect health. I feel so safe with the Tablets that 1 al- ways keep a box in the house. Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and thus banish constipation and indi- gestion; break up colds and simple fever and make the cutting of teeth painless. The Tablets are absolutely safe, being guaranteed free from all injurious drugs. They are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE WEALTH OF THE HINTER- LAND Anyone who has travelled across Canada must have noted the long stretches of rocks and mountains ly- ing between the fertile plains. East- ern and Central Canada are separat- ed by what appears to be a useless territory of rocks, boulders and grav- el. It was a specialist in agriculture who first called attention to the val- ue of this rocky waste. It assists in modifying climate, both as to rain- fall and temperature, and it makes possible the rivers and great lakes which are the very life of the Domin- ion. Now we are beginning to realize that the great Laurentian range riot only protects and gives life to the plains, but that it has a wealth of its own which is sufficient to supply, the needs of our people for all time. Be- ginning at the Atlantic and working westward, it is possible to find trea- sures in every section. Asbestos, iron, silver, gold, copper, nickel, marble, quartz, coal—no one knows just how plentiful is the supply. And down in the valleys further west, there is an abundance of oil and gas, while it is hoped that the great areas of oil sands may yet be of value in road - building and in other ways. The opening of mines in Northern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan has hmeant the beginning of new life in Canada—and the work of develop- ment has not yet properly begun. Beyond the central plain are other and mightier ranges of mountains. These possess a wealth of their own that is yet practically undiscovered. Practically all the minerals of the East are there and coal in abundance, while the wood on the Pacific slopes 18 sought by builders and workera eta Sty where.

Powell) "Sails and Swords" Golden adventures of Balboa and his intrepid company, freebooters all, discoverers of the Pacific—by Arthur Strawn, and published by the Louis Carrier Co., Montreal, 340 pages, $3.50. Until this painstaking work by Mr: Strewn there had been no English biography of this famous explorer. Vasco Nunez de Balboa. Seventeen years after Columbus had landed at Espanola, his son, lion Diego Columbus, was governing the island with his headquarters at Santo Domingo. "This capital was indeed a rough settlement in which violence and petty discord were ever rife, but it was the door through which many famous men were soon t0 enter upon the stage of history, each to achieve after his own fashion the immortality great deeds inevit- ably create. It is true that the set- tlers of Espanola were on the whole a vicious and villainous lot, possessing most of the vices of their time and too few of its virtues. Yet there ap- peared from among then men who were destined to perform deeds of prodigious valor and to accomplish feats of courage and endurance of such awful greatness as almost' to silence criticism of the evils which accompanied them, and to cause the spectator of to -day to look across the vista of centuries with unmitigated admiration. Among these were Cor- tes, who conquerhd Mexico; Pizarro, who conquered Mexico; and Vasco Nunez de Balboa, discoverer of the Pacific Ocean, and in many ways the greatest of the three." "Balboa was a youth of seventeen when the startling news of Columbus' great discovery of the Indies swept over Spain, firing the imagination and filling the minds of old and young alike with wild dreams of wealth and adventure beyond the seas." Balboa reached Santo Domingo but did not prosper and escaped as a stowaway on a boat bound for Dar- ien. He soon proved his qualities of leadership and after various experi- ences is in command of the party. He combined the qualities of colon- ist with those of explorer. Wherever possible he placated the natives in- stead of attacking them—he thought always of the return journey, when friends were better than foes. It is hard to imagine the dangers, terrors and toils of his comparatively short journey across the Isthmus of Panama to the Sea of the South. They had to hack their way through the tangled jungle; many fell ill—only the hard- iest could endure; but still their lead- er pressed on, lured, not only by tales of gold and pearls, but by the over- whelming desire to be the discoverer of the vast new ocean. "When Columbus, in the course of his third voyage, touched the shore of Central America, he was certain that he had reached the Malay Peninsula —and had Balboa reached Peru or Mexico, he would have thought him- self in India. But to these Spaniards, gazing for jhe first time on the South Sea, visions of the cities which their imaginations placed on its shores must have brought greater hopefulness and joy than full knowledge of the truth could have given. In their minds it was the mythical El Dorado and the fabu- lous lands of Keebla Khan." However, Balboa's evil star was in the ascendant and almost unbelievable ill -fortune dogged his footsteps. In- competent officials superceded him and everything passable was done to frus- trate his plans and nullify his pains- taking work. In the end he was ex- ecuted but his name and glory lives, while his persecutors have passed in- to oblivion. "Sails and Swords" is an absorb- ing tale of absorbing times—the early days of the Spanish Main. Juvenile.
