In addition the wind was sent over the
ara.ters to dry them up, that the earth
znIght agaln beeome habitable. The %sue -
cession of at introdeeed into the nar-
rative is remarkable, Taking the year
as the six hundredth of NoeIds life, we
have the commencement of the flood
the seventeenth day of the second month
Gen, 7, 11); the ark floats on the
tweuteeseventie day of the third month
(7.17); it rests on Ararat on the seven-
teenth day of the fieventh month (8, 4);
on the first day of the tenth month the
mountain tops are seea (8. 5); on the
eleventh day of the eleveotle
II:loath the raven is sent out
(84); the dove is sent out to return
again on the eighteenth day of the else
yeah mouth (8.8); on the twenty -frith
day of the eleventh month the dove is
sent out and returns with an olive leaf
(8.10); on the second day of the twelfth
mon.tit the dove is sent out to return
no mote (8, 12); on the first day of first
month a the next year the waters were
dried off from the land (8. 13); Rini
ou the twenty-seventh day of the second
month the ground eves dry and Noah
and his 'family with all the animals that
Were in the ark went forth (8. 14). It
is probable that the months hero men-
tioned Were lunar months, and if fio,
the time spent in the ark wits three hun-
dred and sixty-five days, or a solar year,
11. A sacrifice to the Lord (vs. 20-22).
M God remembered Noah (8.1) and
brought him and all in the ark safely
through the flood so Noah remembered
the'Lord, and at oace eet about pretent-
lug an offering to him. We leave here the
first ment4on of the building of an al-
ter to the Lord, yet it is generally sup-
posed VIA Abel built one when he pre-
seuted the offering which God accept-
ed, There had been previeion made be-
fore the flo•od for the • sacrifice that
Neeth presented to the Lord npon his
F.foing forth from the ark, when he was
ibireeted to take into the ark clean
beasts by serene; for it efeay be reason-
ably supposed that. the extra number of
dean beasts were intended for satrifices.
Since it le not clear that 'animals were
used for food before the 'flood, we
are not warranted In supposing that
provision was made for the slaughter of
any of them for the wee of Noah end
Ids family in the ark. The promise which
God made to the one surviving family
neyae-full of comfort. There would there
-
alter be no internaiesion of "seedtime
and harvest" and of the naturally re-
ourri seasons; nor would there , be
another destruction of animal life from
the face of the earth. 'Noah nod his
family had believed God before the
flood and daring those zonate of test -
leg, and now they were experiencing the
Joy of offering to God an aecepta.ble
sacrifice. In this aet Noah gave full re-
cognition to the feet that deliverance
of himself and family from death war
4•Aie work of God. He believed he could
obtain the divine favor by offeriug
lea/orifice to God. 1:116 saerifice was also
ao expression of his thankfulness or
salvatton from the flood. -

trail trran never fallen, the beast'sof the

must straggle for his sceptre, and can
govern only by fear and dread.-Whedon,
foed is b.ere expreaely gralted
foe the first time, and it ie doubtful
eilether before this time it had been
used. "When God promised that there
should never twin be a deetruetion of
the race, there was great danger that
any man might interpret it that no mat-
ter what violence he did to other, he
evold live on unpunished, and thus the
world creiad easily perish by a flood of
violerree, even if it eee.a.ped a flood of
wiiters. Imetead of the destruetion of

pity eaouid be more for the inultitucle

suffer, these for the juetly panished mur-
derer. The 'nook humanity that gives
flower's to the ratirderer, but a grave to
vlet1rn, is no sign that the love of
man to men is inereetehig."

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic -Merey sueceeding judgment,
I. God remembered Noah.
11. God blessed Noah.
HT. God. covenanted with Noe h.
I. God remembered Noah. As far as
man was concerned the ark' was left
alone upon the waters, yet theta was
an arm unseen directing it. There was
strength's unseen suppoAing it, and love
unseen that was wafting it to its siesta
nation. Noah and his family might
well rest in peace sinee God had them in
remembranre They conetituted the
whole body of believing people. Not un-
til the welcome word was given, "Go
forth," did Noah presume to leave the
alio Then with what feelings of grati-
tude and adornation to God would Noah
and .his family view their Own preserva-
tion on Ma occasion! With what sol-
emnity must Noah have viewed his new
relations upon earth, knowing that the
earth was to be repopulated by his own
posterity! Having known the utter cer-
ruption of hie generation preceding the
flood., here deeply be must have felt the
importance of beginning that new epoch
in life aright, As the ark was deserted,
an altar was erected. The wooship of
God was of first importance. Ile was a
family altar, where each member was a
Worshipper, and the priest Galilee house-
hold. Notah's sacrifice might Ife tompar-
ed to a morning ,prayer at the clawn of
a hew epoch in Inman, history. It was
a dedication of restored humanity to the
service of God, their deliverer. His wor-
ship was acceptable to. God, as a "sweet-
smelling savour." The deluge was God's
sermon against ein, showing his deter-
mination to neetroy sooner or later the
impenitent, yet he was determined not
to. send another flood though the evil
imaginations of man' s heart 'remained
unsubdued. This one severe Judgment
would have its. effect throughout the
succeeding season of suffering. Punish-
ment, though necessary in ite severest
form, could not regenerate the heart of
man; but it showed God's abhorrence of
sin ani pointed toward the atonement.
H. God blessed Noah: The Lord
visited the remnant of his people in their
devotions. Their sacrifice of faith pleas-
ed God. The divine benediction was
pronounced upon the new humanity.
Noah became the representative of the
patriar(bal families in covenant with
God. a he heirship of the new world
was :given to Noah and his seed ex-
pressry as the children of faith. A
blessing was coupled with the heirship
and dominion of the world with corres-'
ponding duties on the part of- man.
God was giving commandment and mak-
ing covenant with the whole human
race through those eight persons,.
III. God covenanted with Noah.
God'e covenant with all the new human-
ity originated with himself. The terms
of the covenant refer to the averting of
temporal punishment, but suggest the
promise of higher thins. This covenant
WAS to 'Noah a diselesure of God's
secret thoughts and purposes. It was
founded on a sacrifice. We see here the
kind of life which it was God's design
to encourage, a life of faith. Here was
the commencement of a new era in the
life of man. The pledge which Noah
had anticipated,* when the returning
dove brought the olive leaf, was con-
firmed in the covenant which the Lord
made with him. He could rest assured
that the fields would yield their in-
crease, that the forests would cover the
earth with their ebadowe and that all
conditions of seed -time the harvest
would be granted as before. Amid all
the corrnptione of his generation Noah
had Walked with God, and he believed
that his covenants would never be
broken, bemuse the honor of his gov-
ernment was pledged to their perform-
ance. He was the devout condnet of a
good man after a special deliverance
from impending dretruction. Noah
stood as a monument to the power of
God to keep man. upright in Hie sight
in the 'midst of corruption and violence,
and one who directed the ways of his
household in serving God.

Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 3.-A well-defined
rumor at the capital hes it that Sir
Hugh. Graham, owner of the Montreal
Star, will succeea _fiord Stritthe,ona as
Lord High Commissioner for Canada.
Lord Stratheona is now 93 years of
age, and though heis still performing
the onerous duties of his position with
unimpaired vitality, it is generally bee
Roved that he will withdraw from office
at an early date.
Sir Hugh Graham is not only a man
of means, but of eocial composition. In
addition, he has taken a strong imperial
Stand on naval and other questions, and
has kept up a. close relationship betweee
Canadian and British affairs. He is a
Canadian, having been born in Tunting-
don, Qne., 65 years ago. He was cre-
ated a knight in 1908. Like Lord Stratit-

Lord of the Admiralty, Wineton Church-
hae practically promised to ask Par-
liament for money for five more beep
ships, and it is possible that this num
ber will be increased to six on ace() int of
the eituation in the Mediterranean'and
the action of Austria-Hungary and Italy
in inereasing their naval programme.
Then there are the three battle-
ships which Premier Borden of Can-
ada has asked the Dominion Perna-
ment to present to the mother corm -
try, and the vessel for which the
federated Malay States have voted
the money, and which, like those
from Canada, will be a modern

to 630,000 atone, and the cost will run
very near $400,000,000.
To complete those ships with the
necessary speed. will require very
careful organization, Already recent
British programmes are in arrears, and
there are likely to be some delays with
thie reeord in wanship construction. Here-
tofore the Admiralty has calculated on
two years for the completion of a battle-
ship, but it ie probable that they will uow
have to revise this estimate.
The great difficulty that confronts
both the dockyards and shipbuilding
companies is the ineufficieney of skill-
ed labor. The doekyarde are work-
ing day and night shifts and overtime,
and they have recruited about all the
available men, epe ei al inducements
laving had no p1 feet. The Shipyards
are in the same fix. There is quite a
population of shipbuilders on the lower
Thames, where the trade once flourished,
but they are strangely adverse to leav-
ing the vicinity of London, and. while
employment is plentiful elsewhere they
seek work of any kind near their home.),

HIS HARD LUCK
Toronto, Feb. 3, -To fall fifteen feet in
an 1,800 -pound roadeter that turns it
emnereault in th.e deseent, and to eseape
with his life, wee the miracle that hap-
pened to A. P. Taylor, general manager
of John Taylor & Sons, soap manufac-
turers, at the McLaughlin Motor Com-
pany's premises this morning.
At St. Michael's liospital it was found
that he had a good cbance for recovery.
Mr. Taylor is 33 years of age. His in-
juriee include a. fractured. skull, fortun-
ately not at the base of the skull, but
over the left temple. His right, elbow
and a loft rib are also broken.
i\fr. Taylor drove hie neteltine into the
(Jeanine department on the ground floor
of the t''MeLaughlin- Company's premises.
He drove up an inclined gangway to
the floor of the roam and ran the car
across the northeeet -corner, where the
elevator is situated. Before reaching
the elevator he backed, with the inten-
tion of leaving his ear backed against
the west wall en line with a munbea of
others.
At the. first backing operation he fail-
ed t� reaeh the position against the wall
he intended, and he ran the ear forward
towards the elevator again, to get an-
c,ther start forbacking up. In running
forward be ran right into the elevator
ehaft.
"It was a mee of thinking the elevator
was -there," said his brother, in speaking
of the accident.
Idnfortuuately the elevator wee at an
upper floor, and the car dropped to the
baeiment, turning over as it fell.
