Commentary.- I. Preparing for the cross-
ing (vs, 1.8). At the banks of the river
Joshua called Upon them to sanctify
themsellse (v. G), for the living (,oil
wets coming among theta to do wonders
before their eyes. This menu -mad was
undoubtedly tate same as that given by
Moses on the eve of the delivery of the
law upon Mount Sinai (Exe(L 10, 10).
They were to wash their persons. and
their garments, and to abet -ate item
evreytlting that wonld cause their Tiede
to be drawn away front the miracle
about to be wrought in their baltalf.
A. similar command was generally given
on great and solemn occasions. -Bush.
Instructions were given to the priests
with regard to carrying' the ark tv. 0).
to verses i and 8 the Lord encouraged
Joshua and told him that he would
nutgnify hive is the sight of all lerael.
11. Joshua encouragiug the people (vs.
0.13).
9. Joshua said ---"Tho method of the de-
livery to Israel of the addresses by Moses
and Joshua is described in Josh. 1, 10.10;
3, ae. They were given, in sections, to
`tie elder's,' by them to the tribal chief-
tains, and by the;e to representative
groups, until, family by family, man by
Hien, the nation had had opportunity to
hear." (Some lather --"Coble to ostler;
,.prepare to hear Jehovalt's message;" The
Loth your (rod -in whose personality
the Hebrews believed tie profoundly as
they believed in the personality of each
other." 10, .the living God --Not an idol,
but Jehovah, the living God, is among
you. God. would prove His presence
among them by the manifestation of Itis
power, in the land whore they were
going, they were to combat with idol-
aters, whose gods were only wood. and
stone, but they were to have a living
God, who could give life or take it, and
He would defend His people." Without
fail -This was a strong promise, but even
this was not unconditional. See last
lesson. "When pian fails God refuses."
Drive out -A list of seven tribes that
inhabited the laud now follows. "Some
of them were powerful. There were for-
midable leagues of chiefs and kings,
organized armies with giants among
them, war horses and iron chariots,
strong atone fortresses, in a country
possessed by those who knew every foot
of it. At the same time, we learn from
the monuments lately discovered that
probably at this time they had been
greatly weakened by Egyptian conquest,
and there was some such preparation
for the Israelites as there was among the
Indians when the Pilgrims came over to
New England,"-Pelonbet. Cauaanites-
Or "lowlanders," who inhabited the sea-
coast and western bank of the Jordan.
But this term is often used to include
all the tribes here mentioned. Hittites
-These were descendants from Heti' and
were settled in and around Hebron (23,
19, 20). Amorites-The mountaineers,
the largest and most powerful tribe of
all. Their name is sometimes taken to
include the t tnaanitish tribes, See chap.
24, 18. (For the ether tribes fere men-
tioned see Dictionary.)
11. Ark of the covenant. -This was the
sacred ehest which contained the tables
of the law, e. pot of manna and Aaron's
rod that budded (Heb. ix. 4.) It was the
symbol of Jehovah's presence. `Passeth
over before you -The ark was carried
on the shoulders of the :priests nearly
three-quarters of a mile in ,advance of
the people. But when the priests reach-
ed the middle of the river they stood
still, as a protection to the people, until
the passage was eompleted. 12. Twelve
men -These men were to take memorial
stones from the river as described later
on, but they were chosen for that work
at this time. These men accompanied
theri
p eats and remained: in the river
until the host had passed over.
13. Priests that Dear elle ark -"On the
ordinary occasions the Levites of the
house of Kohath, by special command,
bore the ark. But when removed from
within the veil, or when borne on festive
occasions of ordinary interest, the
peieste, the offspring of Aaron, were the
bearers." --,Steele,
I11. Israel crossing the Jordan (vs, 14-
]7:)
14. When the people removed -Broke
tip their encampment. This was on the
30th day of Abib or Nise.n, the same
month in which they departed- from
Egypt. 15.. feet .... were dipped, ete.-
"The priests proceeded first with the ark,
and entered into the bed of the river,
the eouree of which was immediately ar-
rested, the waters collecting above the
place where the priests stood, while the
stream fell off toward the Dead Sea, eo
that the ashore channel below where the
priests were standing became dry." Thus
the priests stood above the people.
What strong faith they had fit God.
'When they crossed through the son the
ground was 'made dry before they ad-
vanced, but now they start on heir
march while a mighty river is still roll-
ing between them and Canaan. All his
banks --The Jordan bad two and in some
places three banks. At ite flood it over-
flowed the firet and seeond banks and
revered the whole space between the ter-
races formed by the second and third
banks. The waters on each side would
be comparatively abattoir. Dere the
prieste were to stand or rest in the shoal
water on the eastern hank until the
waves receded, and the river's channel
was trade bare; then they advanced in
the midst of the channel and there stood
until all the people had cross d.--Whed.
Com. T1iis was the barley harvest which
was several weeks earlier than the wheat
harvest. "The reason for the overflow
nt this time instead of the wintor,which
in that latitude is the rainy season, is
because the snow in the Lebanon Mount -
nine melts with the increasing heat of
summer:"'
16. Adarn.. ,Zaretan--Bee R. V. Where
these cities were is not known, but they
must have been up the river. Adana has
been placed by different writers all the
way frons fifteen to fifty miles above
the place where the Israelites crossed
the Jordan, There are many opinions as
to the manner in which tbis stupendous
miracle was performed. Come think the
water was heaped up many miles away
and that the river bed was dry as far ae
the eye eould see. Others think that the
Lord We a eentrery direction to the cur-
rent and that the waters were distribut-
ed over the adjacent country toward the
ens of (;nines, 1)r Clarke 40 3`14. "We
need not suppose them to be gathered
ftp like a mountain. but that they contig•
nett to flow back in the Bourse of the
channel; and ere they could Have reach
ed the Lake of Gennesareth, where they
might have been easily accumulated. the
whole army of Israel would have crossed
river Safely." The salt sea --The Dead Sea
tailed also the ,Sea of the Plaie at fa
clear but its waters are strongly tine-
tured with salt. Right against Jericho --
An instanee of their boldness, and a
noble defiance of their enemies. Jericho
was elle of the strongest cities, and yet
they dared to fade it at their first en-
tranee. It surely was proper for thrni
bo enter f!anaan at thle placid for God
himself had by a miracle opened the way,
It was a strong assurance that the Lord
was. about to give the city into their
hands.
17. All the Israelites -That is, all of
the nine and a halftribes that were to
1oeate on the west of the Jordan, and
forty thousand pieketl soldier's of the
two and a half tribes that lead loeatetl
on the east of Jordan. 1)ry ground --
Not hard and crusty ground,but dry only
in the sense of beiug drained of water.
--Steele, See chap, 4. 18. Clean over Jor-
dan---Tlte forty years of struggle and of
trial are over, and the people stand for
the first time Mt their own possessions.
One supreme hope had been cherished by
theta during the greater part of the lives
of nearly all of the Israelites. We rename
her that Caleb and Joshua, who were
men nt the time of the exodus, were
the only ones above sixty years of age
to enter Canaan. This life-long (tope was.
fulfilled, and they were given a marvel-
ous exhibition of the power of Him who
had long been leading them.
Thu twelve chosen men each took a
stone from the river -bottom where the
priests had stood, and carried them to
(iilgal, where their .first encampment in
Canaan was located, as a memorial of
this great display of God's power. This
aeromplirhed two purposes: "1, The pro -
servation of national history and religi-
ous knowledge. 2, The religious educa-
tion of the young."
PRACTICAT1 APPLICATIONS.
Over Jordan.
A'1 Bishop ITaven lay dying be ex-
claimed in joyful surprise, "Why, there
is no river here." His death -bed experi-
ence is against the old tradition that the
Jordan is a type of physical death and
Canaan here a type of heaven. And the
word of God is more strikingly against
it (Ileb, 3:7-10). There is no trial, no
temptation, no fighting, no death in
heaven; there were all these in Canaan;
there sire all these in the way of holi-
ness. which our lesson shows us is.
1. A divine way. "Hear the words of
the Lord (v. 0). Joshua did not plan
the jouruey across the Jordan; the peo-
ple did not ask for it. God did for them
"exceeding abundantly shave all" that
they could have asked or thought (Eph.
3:20).
If. A quiet way. "Stand still
and hear" (vs, 8, 0). "Be still and know"
(Psa. 46:10). Mrs. iishittemore once re-
ceived a letter from Germany which
said, "Will you for God's sake find my
poor girl in America? Her name is Mar-
garet C." As she read the word "Amer-
ica," the vastness of it reminded her of
the love of God, and she prayed that the
lost one might be found. The next af-
ternoon she gave a Bible reading in an
adjoining city, At the meeting one young
girl specially interested her, and at the
close she inquired her name. "Margaret
0," was the answer. With a cry of joy
All's. Whittemore threw her arms about
the girl. The lost was found.
III. A victorious way. "The living
Ood....he will without fail drive out
from before you the C'anaanites" (v. 10).
True of Israel of whom it was said,
"The living God. is among you" (v. 10) ;
more truo of those of whom It was writ-
ten, "Christ in you" (Col. 1:27). In the
wilderness the Canaanites frighten, in
the land they are overcome. The seven
"weapons of our warfare" (2 Cor. 10.4)
are truth, righteousness, the gospel of
peace. faith, salvation, the word of God,
prayer (Eph. 0:12-18). , "Thanks be unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph
in Christ" (2 Cor. 2:14) ; who will with-
out fail drive out from before us our
enemies.
1V. A promise way. "And it shall
coins to pass" (v. 13). The Bible pro-
mises to cover every possible "need,"
phyvical, mental, spiritual (Phil. 4:10).
"Every promise of God is built upon
four pillars: God's holiness, which will
not suffer nim to deceive; his goodness,
which will not suffer him to forget; his
truth, which will not suffer him to
change; his power, which makes him
able to accomplish,"
V, A believing way. "The people re-
moved from their tents to pass over
Jordan and .... the feet of the priests
..were dipped in the brine of the wa-
ter, for Jordan everfloweth all its
banks" (vs. 14, 15.) Israel did not hosi-
brate, did not promise to go some time,
did not wait to understand how God
could perform the miracle -they march-
ed unfalteringly toward the raging Jor-
dan. They believed God. A promise is
like a cheque that has to be endorsed to
he cashed. Faith is a man's endorsement
of God's promise to pay.
VL A protected way. "The waters ..
from above stood ... those that came
down -failed and were cut off" (v.
10.) There shall no evil befall thee"
(Psa. 91; 10.) John Knox was accustom-
ed always to sit in ft particular chair
with his back to the window. One even-
ing he would not allow any one to sit in
it, or sit in it himself. Soon a bullet
from an enemy whizzed through thewin-
dow, grazed the chair, and made a hole
in the candlestick. Howard, the philan-
thropist walked to church at Bedford.
One morning he decided to go on horse-
back, and took a different road. He
afterward learned that a man, whom he
had reproved for his dissolute habits,
waited that morning to waylay and mur-
;ler him.
VII. A straight way. Following their
leaders, "the people passed over right
'igainst Jericho" (v. 16.) A general in the
English army .selected one of his bravest
men and bade hiin lead his regiment up
to a certain place, The young com-
mander easift)y suvl silently conducted
his troops to the post of duty. He was
the first to be wounded by the enemy.
end was carried to the rear. His general
left the field of battle to say a last word
to him before be should die. As the of-
ficer stood before the dying man he turn-
ed his face toward him, and smilingly
held out hie hand, saying, "General,
didn't I lead them straight?" Beloved,
Cod greet that some day you may have
the joy of looking iip into your great
Captain's face and asking, as you point
to the little ones Weide you, "Didn't I
'esrl Thom et.relt-ext
VDI. A perfect way. They passed over
on "dry ground," though the waters had
just been taken away. "All the people
passed glean over" v, 17.) "'As for
God, hie way fa perfect .... he tnaketh
my way perfeot" (IL Sam; 31,. 33).

Bradstreet's Trade Review.
Montreal -Tightness of money con.tin
ues a. big factor of trade. The feeling
that the situation is slowly improving
continues to grow. There is still a very
great demand for monby. Wholesale
trade generally 1lolde brisk. Itt drygoods
it is now stated retailers' stocks are un-
expectedly light owing to good -'brisk
selling of summer lines during August.
Orders for winter lines continue brisk
and values hold firer in tone. Manufac-
turers of made-up goods report deliver-
ies better than at this time a year ago.
A very heavy tnado is being done in
men's ready-made clothing. The output
this season during the fall and winter
twill be very large despite the fact that
prices show a general advance. The de-
mand too, is particularly heavy for lines
of quality. Cotton manufacturers have
orders for far into 1008. Groceries are
more active. Teas hold firth. Butter and
cheese are firm, Exports of these lines
continue light. Bides are weak in tone.
Boot and aloe manufacturers are busy
and good orders are coming forward for
.winter lines. Collections are generally
fair.
Toronto-AIl lines of business continue
to move satisfactorily here, Wholesale
trade is brisk and there is a general feel-
ing of satisfaction regarding the outlook
for future trade. In all linos of trade
a healthy conservative tone is notice-
able. The period of tight money and of
slightly lessened briskness in some lame
of activity have been a warning that has
been taken to heart in a way that prom-
ises well for the trade of the country at
large. Dry goods men report a brisk
tradel'The better lines of dress goods are
in heavy demand. Priers are generally
steady to firm. No decline is looked for
in cotton prices. Orders to mills continue
beavy. Grocers report an excellent bus-
iness from the west and the northern
country. Staples are in good demand
and generally firm in tone. Sugar is
firm. The demand for canned goods is
active. The hardware trade holds a good
tone. Sporting geode and general win-
ter lines are moving well. It is said
bere there will be rather less building
going on a year from now, which will
mean a somewhat less active demand for
supplies. At the present they are in
good demand. Country trade is fair and
expected to improve towards next month.
Country produce is Lining forward in
moderato volume and prices hold steady
to firm.
Winnipeg --Until the past day or two
there has .leen the most confident feel-
ing regarding future trade throughout
Western Canada. The reeent frost which
arrived awhile grain was Still standing
in many parts of the country has caus-
ed considerable apprehension. It is, not
feared that the damage will have been
sufficient to seriously affect the total
volume of trade, but the effect will have
to be reckoned with in different loeaif•
ties. In Manitoba and Alberta the dam-
ge is lightest, most of the grain having
been cut. Orders to wholesalers have been
good and heavy shipments have been go-
ing into retailers' hands. Collections are
slow te, fair. A cheerful feature of cond-
tions is the subsidence in almost all dir-
ections of land speculation that has been
going on for some years.
Vancouver and Victoria -Excitement
over the question of Asiatic immigration
has gradually subsided during the past
week and general trade has been but
little affected. Wholesale lines are mov-
ing well, general orders being heavy front
all parts of the province. Groceries are
moving well and values hold firm. Can-
ned goods are particularly so. neve is
a brisk movement in all lines of whole-
sale hardware. General retail trade is
brisk and collections are good. A good
trade is being done in fruits. Almost
all crops of small fruits aro turning out
well.
Hamilton -Wholesale trade there holds
a steady tone. Retail trade is modera-
tivcly active, but in the country the
movement is a little slow. Collections
are fair. All lines of local industry con-
tinue active.
London -There is a brisk tone to all
lines of 'business there. 'Wholesale goods
are moving well and manufactories here
are well supplied with orders. Retail
trade moves well and the outlook for
future business is bright,
Ottawa,-General.lbusinese continues
satisfactory. The demand for winter
wholesale lines is brisk. Retail trade is
fairly active. Collections, however, are
still a little slow. Country trade dtas a
quiet tone. Produce is coming forward
fairly well and values are firm.

PROTECTION FOR GAME FISH.
New Regulations Issued Applicable to
Whole of Canada.
Ottawa, Sept.. 22.- An ktrdurstn-
Council bus been passed adopting new
fishery regulations applicable to the
whole of Canada. One provision

subject, is to pay for such a permit
a fee of $G.
The export of Week bass or speck-
led trout is absolutely forbidtlmt, and
these fish cannot be offered ler sale

CONVERSION TESTS.
BISHOP OF LONDON PREACHES AT
AYLMER.
The RIM Adints
,�
Ma hemeMe.
Faith and Prayer and Aim to Make the
Saviour Our Standard Among the
Tests Mentioned --Church Too Small
to Hold the Crowd Which Assembled.
Aylmer, Sept. 22. -"'Tho greatest day
this church has ever known," is the
way a prominent Aylmer Episcopalian„
in speaking of the beautiful service this
morning, characterizes the Bishop of
London's visit to the church. Hun-
dreds had to be turned away from the
service, and by 10 o'clock enough people
were already awaiting admission to
pack the building to- the doors. At
10.30 the doors were opened, and in a
remarkably few minutes the church was
packed so that no more standing room
was available. Rev. A. F. Winning•
ton -Ingram chose for his text for the
morning the 23rd verso of the sixth
chapter of St. Matthew: "Where your
treasure is there will your heart be
also."
He said be wished to speak, not as he

Through conversion only can we lay up
treasure in heaven. And what are the
tests of conversion? First of all, are we
trusting anyone but God for our con-
version? If not, He is our tree.

Prayer, too, is a great essential, and

In concluding, the Lord Bishop said:
"If you can stand this fivefold test, lift

DYING OUT IN CITIES.
English Mothers Have Not Time to Look
After Their Children.
London, Sept. 22. ---It would appear
from recent statistics that the F iglisb
are dying out in the cities. In the year
1800 the number of children was 33 per
cent. of the population. Itt the year
1900 they were only 23 per cent. Fewer
children are born in the tows, and
more die there. Physicians say that
this is due in a great degree to the
many demands on the time of the moth-
ers, which makes them neglect their
children.
