Lesson Passage—Exodus 3:10.15 4- 10-12. Golden Text—Exodus 3:12. The deliverance and training of Moses were a providential prepares tion for his future work. The only circumstance that the Bible relates of the later, years at Pharaoh's court is his murder of en Egyptiafn task- master which forced him to' flee to Midian in order to escape t e,!wra'h of the king. In Midian=thaat�is, t south-eastern portion of the 15inaiti peninsula—he acted as/ .he dsman, and married the daughte'rr of priest • called Jethro. The forced sojourn in the solitude of the wilderness was, like his life at court, adapted to prepare Hoses for his work. He was, taught his own impotency. The voice from the burning bush announces to him his mission. The middle forty years of Moses' life was spent in Midian, and he was in all probabilitg)happier than at a'nv other period of his life—happier than 4 THE HURON EXPOSITOR '• when in Egssipt, as the s'oii of Phar- aoh's daughter --.he received the hom- age of servile, crowds yet knowing himself to be the object of secret dislike and envy of those who bowed Before hint} --happier than when, m later,.zlife,the burden• of Ieree�l lay% lir pn bine, and( he flat thaf,'Willem; net ha,udrto hear. 4 • As a Man of • pastoral habits, he no doubt employed a portion of his leisure in writing the book of Genesis and possibly the book of Job which is by some held to have been his composition. How 'Moses enjoyed the kind of life he led, ,and how little he desired to quit it for a wider and grander field of labor,""L is shown by the man- ner in which he received the call to proceed to Egypt for the• deliverance of Israel. A commun'ation, most solemn and emphatic cane to him out of a "bush burning, but \ not consumed," which he went forward to inspect at close hand. The speaker announced him- self as the God'of Abraham, of Isaac an&i, of Jacob. He declared that he had beheld with divine compassion the miseries of his people; and that the time for their deliverance lase come. All .this was well. It doubt- less made the heart of Moses glad. But the closing words filled him with consternation, for it declared that he was to go back to Egypt, to pres- ent himself before the King then reigning, and \to demand for Israel leave to.depart, This filled him with unfeigned astonishment. "Who am I, that d should go unto Pharaoh. and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?" The answer was undeniable and suf- ficient—,"I' will be with thee." Still Moses wa not satisfied. The diffi- culties of the enterprise—his own supposed nfitness for it -his reluct- anee to plunge ipto the conflicts he foresaw—all erdwded upon his thoughts,a,? and Made his heart sad. One objection after another that he made was patiently removed; as a last hope he pro lai•med his inability to ''plead before Pharaoh, saying; "0 my Lord, I am not eloquent; but I am slow of speech, and of ' a slow tongue." Yet, when he had nothing further to urge in the way of speci- fic objection, he nolle'¢. tie whole mass of reluctant feeling into one strong groan for release from so fearful a task—`k0, my Lord, send, I pray Thee, by the hand of hint. whom Thou wilt send." But he was the man appointed—for that task; for this he had been born; for this preserved; for this trained; and there was no escape for him. God knew his fitneSis better than he knew it himself.

WORLD MISSIONS 75 Years Yopng! Any casual passerby, A' ut eight o'clock on Thursday even g, seeing the brilliantly illluminate Medical School compound, with the bodyguard stretching;, in double, line, from the gate to the school door, and hearing the fusillade of crackers, might have wondered whether Royalty was ex- pected. He would have been sure that his speculation's !were correet had he seen the process#on that short• ly afterwards entered) the Medical School gate, headed by lantern bear- ers carrying two enormous ceremon- ial lanterns in front of a stately fig- ure in a 'gorgeous scarlet satin robe, arld I followed by rank upon rank of Medical faculty, alumni and stud- ents. A visit from Royalty would not have •been celebrated with such enthusiasm as the 75th birthday of Dr. McClure, `which was the occasion of all this festivity! Alumni had gathered from var- ious provinces of China to do honor to their "Iao shib"; most of the alumni practising in Tsinan were present, in addition to the score or so working in Cheeloo Medical School and Hospitals, and these, to- gether with the whole medical faF- ulty and student body, filled the As- sembly Hall, which was transformed into a place of beauty' with flowering plants and-' Chinese lanterns. , The• speeches made by the representaftives •of the alumni, faculty and students left, no doubt in the minds of all present as to the esteem and affec- tion in which Dr. McClure is held by all who have been taught by him and have worked with hien. Dr. 'Mc- Clure, in his reply, contrasted the conditions under which medical work in China was carried on When he ar- rived in Henan, nearly '50 years ago, and those prevailing to -day, and touched on the wonderful inventions and improvements that have taken place during his life -time, not only in medical science, but in all phases of life. • ..All held their,, .breath •ivhrle t birthday. cake with' its 75 candles w= carried in. ` The sleeves of the cer-- _monial robe were not of 'the most convenient for cake cutting, but Dr. McClure skilfUliy achieved the oper- ation., and his health was drunk in tea and eaten in 'birthday cake with great enthusiasm! o. Several .beautiful serrolle 'and sil- ver shields were .pres,ented to Dr. McClure by the aluni and number of telegrams cif congratulation were received during the day, one actual- ly during the reception. The good wishes showered upon Dr. McClure in person and ' by telegram Were echoed, we know, by many who were unable to be present, and we would add to them our sincere hopes that Dr. McClure may spend many more birthdays in our . mdist. •--, Cheeloo Bulletin. • How They Educate Young Thoroughbreds That horse racing is a .sport and not a business and that few people eonnected with it make any money is the Conclusion, not . altogether startling, arrived at by .Arthur Mann, a well -'known sports writer in The erican Mercury. He says that .it co is the average owner about $5,000 to eed, rear and train a colt or filly and snake the ordinary stake ens tries. But the average price of two- year -olds sold' at auction in the Unit- ed States is less thati $2,000, probab- ly nearer $1,500. In a fairly active season a fair sized stable, by which he means perhaps a dozen adults and as many juveniles, must take in $250,- 000 to break even and few stables do this. Last year the V. C. Whitney stable won nearly half a meillion'doI- Jars but probably the net profit was not more than $100,000. Consider- ing the capital investment this was trifling indeed. Mr. Mann does not discuses 'betting but it is well known that it is only through betting that the average Horse owner keeps cue, of the poor Mouse. The great own- ers are all millionaires and breed and race their horses as a hobby. It is perhaps,; the .most expensive hobby that a Haan tan indulge. The eeriti'cal months of the year on a thoroughbned.rsto'ek farm are April and May for it is then that the foa!e 'are dropped. In the three or six months that elapse before the young- sters are weaned' they are left with their dams and roam the open 'fields. On January ls't every thoroughbred becomes a year old according to rac- ing laws • though as a matter of fact they, are nearly all four or five months younger. At this time the syoungster is introduced to solid food, rite rations up"to then having consist- ed of grass and hay. It gets a mash made of oats;, bran and barley. Later on the horse is fed oats which re- mains its staple food through life in addition, of course, to' hay and an occasional mash. Nine quarts a day is t e average ration. The first ate=�tx�' the education of the thor- ough `red' is to separate him from his dam and put him ins ;a stall' ,of his own, which puzzles and perhaps alarms him a little at first but h', soon becomes used to it. The next stop is taken when a boy enters the stall and throws a saddle on the youngster's shack. It is allowed to resat but a mom- ent or two and is tlfen remiovest Ev- ery day and perhaps several times a day this 'is repeated' until the colt pays no attientio, to it. ' Then the girth is buckled, a treatment whicn the colt usually resents, but it isl quickly unbwdkled and the same pro- cees• follows an w'iith the saddle until the colt feels neither sari rise' nor re- seentment. Later on the bridle and bit are snriilarly introd'ti ed send lin- g+ • in -,u: ally a boy mounts the colt, sitting long enough merely for the animal to feel his weight. In three weeks the education of the colt has advaneed<to the point where he is bridle wise and does not object to a boy sitting in the saddle. -It is four months, how- ever, before he feels a race track un- der his feet. He is taken inside and outside the rail's, walked past the shadowe that the grand stand may cast ands accustomed to the noise that is tip be encountered irr•-aaetu.al racing. All the stable hands gather in the stand and by ,yells and waving of 'hats and arms strive to 'put the colt at his ease. At least we sup- pose that is the idea. But it i s the February following that sees the first serious work of the youngster, now officially a two- year-old. At first he is allowed to romp at a fast canter with a loose rein, the rider letting him choose his own pace. After a week sof this his muscles are loosened up, and he is given what is called•a mild search for speed. He is galloped a quarter of a Haile, and then put back to an eighth. The distance is then raised to three furlongs„ the animal put- ting in about five miles a day speed- ing and jogging. After each work- out he is walked around the track for twenty-five or thirty minutes to cool off, or as the horsemen say to, cool out. But for this eprecaution the • colt would stiffen up and be un- fit for training the next day. Rub- bings with various lotions and lini- ments also contribute to this end. It is said that old Exterminator; whom many have seen race in Toronto, was eo intelligent that he would walk afbout himself after a race to cool out. Another horse of extraordinary intelligence was Gallant Fox, On race dayhe would always leave some of . his noon -day oats unconsumed. He would refuse a drink before he had cooled out, or a piece of sugar of which he was very, fond. In face, Gallant Fox seemed to know as much about racing and training ,as many men. An important part of the colt's education ooncerns itself with the start 'where so many races are lost or won. He is made familiar with the webbing and taught to disregard bumping. Mr. Mann in this connec- tion tells another story of Extermi- nator's extraordinary intelligence. Once an assistant starter called him into service to hold an unruly horse. The big gelding threw his weight against the other horse, pinning him against the' rail and then suddenl' released him as the barrier swung, giving him a fair chance in the race. So the education proceeds, the oungstens nein z g . galloped increas- >�g• distan.es .until they are fit by he time: the summer arrives to gal - op three-quarters of a mile. By this time the trainers'l* e a pretty good idea of what kind of two -year-olds they have in their charge, though none of them is able to say what kind of. -three-year-old he will be. In other words, the trainer may be ably to advise the owner whether it i worth while persevering with a giv- en youngster or getting rid of him. New $20,000,000 Ontario Loan Provincial Treasurer An- nounces 14 Year Province. of Ontario Debentures. A new issue of $20.000,000 Province of Ontario 14 Year 5W7, debentures is being offered for public subscrip- tion. Bonds are in denomination of $100, $500 and $1,000, and the price is 97 and accrued interest, yielding 5.81% to maturity. Special interest is attached to this issue in that it de- parts from the usual procedure, be- ing offered direct by the Provincial Treasurer for public subscription. The inclusion of denominations of $100 it is- said, will receive a wide responne from small investors throughout Ontario. In lrrrliouncing the new issue, the Hon. E. A. Dunlop, Provincial Tress• urer, made the following statement; "Thin issue," he said, "is design- ed primarily to give the citizens of the Prolvfince an opportunity of par- ticipating at an attractive rate of interest, in the highest grade security available in the Province, namely, the bonds' of the Province itself. The de- bentures, therefore, are made avail- able in three denominations of $100; $5600 and $1,000, so that everyone with $100 or any multiple of $100 may share in the loan. The issue price of 97 gives the attractive yield of 5,81% per annum through the 14 year period of the lose. "The issue price of 97 and ieterest is the same.to all purchasers, and the small investor obtains his bonds at exactly the same rate and under precisely the same conditions as !pur- chasers of larger amounts. "The proceeds of the loan," added the Treasurer, "will 'be used to re- pay existing short term advances fn- curred for capital expenditure." Training Birds to Fly From Dawn to Dark Recently there was a kit of flying Tipplers which broke the Canadian record for long flying. Turned out at 5.15 a.m., they remained on the wing until 9.33 p.m., when they were dropped after having flown for 16 hours 18 minutes. This was a mag- nificent .performance, !probably the best ever" recorded outside of England which is the home of the flying Tip- pler as it is of so many other varie ties sof pigeon. The record which these game little birds brol+e had steed since 1922 when Dawson Bros., of 432 Crawford, flew a kit 15 hours 50 ,Minutes. It is interesting to nota that Gordon Feldcamip, 405 Crawford Street, ' the 1932 record maker, bought the parents of his champion birds from' Dawson Bros. The Eng- lish old bird record, whish is, os( course, the world's record, is 1, hours 10 minutes. The English young bird record is 16 hours 56i/c minutes, and the Canadian young When Taravelin WHEN you are away from home with the children, remember Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

Quality Guaranteed. 4 tip bird record, 15.03, so that the Car.- adian record for young, ,birds more nearly approaches the world's\ record than does the Canadian record fog• aged birds. The best time ever re- corded on this „continent, outside of Toronto, was established when the American young bird record was ss.: at 13 hours two minutes. The chic! reason why the birds fly longer in England is, according to local fanciers, because the Engli,-i•'have longer hours of daylight. The typical Tippler israther a small pigeon, and the most distinc- tive of therm have white feathers on the body, while the tips of the wings are dark. The original Tippler also had a few colored feathers under its c, called a chuck by the cogno- sc ni, of ,whom we used to be a c epic. But they come in all colors, and since they are bred for the 'single purpose of remaining aloft for as many hours as possible, appear- ance . is not considered. The skilful breeder puts his best cocks and hem together irrespective --of color or markings, and then trains the young. Well • bred young Tipplers will fly before they can feed themselves and many are lost in every loft through their sheer exuberance, unless they are familiarized with the outside- of the loft isefore they • are able to u•se their wings. They delight in flying and are likely at almost any stage of their career, to mount to the clouds and refuse to descend at night fall. Now and then a few straggle back next mornings but the losses from this cause are serious. The breeders try to combat this tendency by •keeping their birds' spirits low on a ration of barley, which isabout as exhi-- arating to a pigeon as gruel is to an army officer. On this diet they will fly for only a short 'tim<, and then consent to drop. But all the time they are adding muscle to their wing?, and when a few days before a race they are put on a• special food that they delight in they will, on being released, sear almost out „cif sight and keep on flying an extra- ordinary length of time, What i, called fly the clock round is to fly for twelve hours, and the ability to do this is perhaps comparable to a horse trotting in standard time which, as some of . you may know, is 2-30. Tip- plers Of a good strain should fly 12' hours with little special training be- cause they love to fly, particularly if the weather is favorablae. But to win prises and particularly establish records Tipplers have to be riot only trained but disciplined. They must be taught to drop on their loft at a signal, and conversely taught not to drop unless the signal is given. This disciplinary process be- gins when they are quite young. They are permitted to walk out on the roof as dark approaches and then enticed inside by some food. They are accompanied always by a white pigeon—because the white can be better seen in the dark—that does not want to fly. Sent out Hungry thus, the birds will drop after a short fly when they see the white bird on the loft, for that is a 'signal, that their food is ready. Gradual:y the time when they are liberated is set back, and this the birds are strengthene'd and also taught to fly until dark or until they see the dropper on the roof. This .process is continued until birds have .been taught to fly 19 hours or more. The critical moment on race days is when it begins to get dark Per- haps the birds, several kits of them, have been on the wing since day- light, and now „comes the double problem of 'keeping the birds flying and having them so low that they are able to see to drop as the light disappears. In some of the great flies, for the test couple of hours the birds will be merely circling round the owner's yard, or even roond his head, looking foe the signal to come down. Some fanciers have taught their birds to drop not at the sight of another pigeon on a roof but at the sight of a handkerchief tossed on the ground. Each competitor is timed by a judge who will disqualify his pigeons if one of them leaves the flock and settles on a roof or if the birds remain out of sight for more than an hour. •Gradually as one after another competitor drops out, some because their birds come down eitliausted, others Ilaeoause their birds refuse to come down a n d disappear in the darkness, the wire Wei' gets his birds lower and lower, He has information as to what all elt tem ree the other fliers are doing and where he knows that his kit alone is on the wing and under his control gives the final signal, and drops his birds at his feet or on the roof of • his 1of't.
