The Sin of eeelutn. -Josh. 7:1-20.
Commentarv,--1. The defeat at Al
(vs. 1-5). It was uot 1OWn outside el
Athan's houeehold that eledh eoaamane
respected the utter "devotion" of the
inhabitants and good* el' Jerento had
been violoted, bet Una noted Action's
lain, and there wee ne ;mire victory for ,
levee1 until that sin had been searched
out and puoielted. It was with a con-
fidence born of suecees that the spies
reported that a email army would be
sufficieut to teke Al, Israel's eet poiut
of attnek. Tide city lay toward. the
atelier of Canaan and was important
as a centre front which lerael might con-
tinue the Anbjugation of the laud. The
ease with which the' men of Ai put to
rout the three thousand armed men of
•sent againet them, Wee an en-
couragement to the former, but it
brought coneternation to Israel, who
could not understand why God's people
ehould thus suffer detest, when the
promise had been given that they iihou.d
poseess the land.
Joslitee appeal to God (vs. 0-10).
6. Joenua rent his clothes -The blow
of leritens defeat fell with almost
erushiog force upon Joshua. The rend-
ing of one's garment indicated deep
grief. Fell to the earth upon Ms face
-In token of the deepest humiliation.
Before the ark of the Lord -The ark
of the coveuant was the symbol of the
divine presence. The lid of the ark
constituted the mercy seat, Here Josh-
ua made lais appeal to Clod. Elders -
The chief Leen ot Israel. Put dust upon
their heads -This wee a mode of e-
pi geeat sorrow. 7. Wherefore
hest thou at all brought this people

meth in God, but he was in deep dis-
tress and could .not undeistand the sit-
uation.. The amorites-i" hiettnts of

Lo the people. To destroy us -From
human appearances the Israelites were
likely to be destroyed. On the other

Joules) with comparative peace was bet-
tor than to endertaee to possess Cana -

anateriee to those who were unfrienee

nort of Israel's defeat would naturally
eive their enemies confidence. Environ
us round -Surround us. Cut off our
name -Joshua feared that Israel's ene-
mies would make a ombined attack
and wholly destroy the nation. Thy

trees Joelme wee jeelous for the honor
of ,Tehovall. Ile peered out his very
soul in his appeal to God, and his cry
resehe.d -the ears of Jehovah.
10. Get thee up -God did not speak
this as a rebuke, but as an intimation
that be haft grieved long enough, and
that the mystery was about to be ex- •
plained. 11. Israel bath sinned -An in-
dividual had sinned, but it was the
nationie sin until itwas brought to light
and punished. Transgressed my coven-
ant -The people had declared that they
would be obedient to God's commands
(Exod, 19: 8; 24: 7.1, and upon their
keeping the covenant depended the Um -
Inas that God had promised. Ta,ken of
the aceursed thing -That which had been
consecrated had been appropriate,d to
private use. Stolen -Theft had been
committed. Dissembled -Lying ami de-
coption bad been practised. 12. There-
fore -Far the reason just mentioned Is-
rael had suffered defeat at the hands
or God's enemies. They were aceureed-
The, curse was upon Israel beca,thee of
their sin. Except ye destroy the ac-
cursed from among you -If the people
those to cover up the sin, they could not
expect God's presence and help; but if
they would reznove the occasion of his
eispleasur, his former .promise would be
fulfilled. The guilty meet be punished.
13. Up -There must be no delay. Sane -
iffy the people -Joshua's first duty was
to promulgate the order that the eeople
prepare themselves to. appeat before the
Lord. Sanctify yourselves -The people
must wasil themselves and their gar-
ments and complete ell other observa-
tions necessary to their ceremonial puri-
fication. Against to -morrow -In prepa-
ration for the events of the following
day. Aceureod thing , . 0 Israel -
Joshua was to make a public announce-
ment of the net already revealed to bim,
that there was sin in the camp. Thou
eanst not stand before thine enemies -
Israel's warriors Were the senile in num-
bers, skill and equipment before they
moved against Ai as when they -entered
upon the conquest of Canaan, but the
Lord eeassd to fight for them when the
"accursed thing" came to exist. 11. Am
cording to your tribee-it is likely that
representatives of all the tribes were to
be brought before Joshua, that the Lord
might declare the one in which was the
transgression. The tribe which the Lord
taketh-The word "taketh" is the word
used for making decisions. by the sacred
Jot. Title amide of making choices is
ntentioned frequently in the scriptures
(L Sam. 14; 42; ,Totab It 7; Acte It 24-
20). Otte way of doing this was to place
wbite pebble e with one black one at e
sack and let the proper persons each
draw out one. This mode of proeedure
"reeoramerals itself as a sort of appeal
to the Almighty, free from all influenee
of paseion or bias." Families —house -

ing, as though Action's sin was indica-

of selfish greed among the people, width
would have utterly subverted the- divine
purpose, if it had not been sternly re-
buked at the beginning. If Aethates
trespass had been connived by joshua
and the elders, it would have been con-
sidered a national sin. The penalty was
terrible, but the moral exigencies of
the tree demanded it. The divine dis-
pleasure at sin wasonot a new lessoa

trous people of Palestine was not to de-
generate into pillage. Mum's° sin was
committed immediately after all Israel

to God in the orainattees of circumcision
and the Passover. It was eommitted,

incleded disobedience, theft, deceit, in-

CHRISTMAS APPEAL
FOR
The Hospital for Sick Children
COLLEGE ST., TORCt TO
Dear Mr. Editor: -
Thanks for your kindness allow-
ing me the privilege of apfaaling at
this Christmas time on behalf of the
Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto.
It would take more space than you
can oars to tell of the good work done
for the sick and deformed children of
this Province. Let me, however, in a
few words, tell you of tiae progress of
the work of the Hospital.
One nurse, six little white beds, a
tow dollars, a few friends -this was
the beginning. The beds have grown
to 250, the dollars to thousands, the
friends to hundreds. 1876, the first
year, 44 in -patients, 67 out-patients;
1913, last year, 1,648 in -patients, 25,507
out-patients; 1876, 1 nurse; 1913, 70
nurses.
Since 1876, thirty-eight years ago,
the Hospital has admitted within its
walls 21,018 children as in -patients,
and 159,231 as out -pre -Wets, a total of
180,249, or an average of 4,743 per
year. 0? the 21,018 tima etients, 16,200
were from' Toronto, at d 5,813 from
other parts of the Penvince; 10,150 of
the total in -patients were cured, and
6,367 vere lniproved.
In the Orthopedic Department last
year, of the 1,648 in -patients, 278 were
treated for deformities, 25 hip disease,
37 Pott's disease, 2 knock-knees, 19
bownegs, 62 club feet, 8 lateralecurva-
tare of the spine, 44 infantile paralysis,
6 wry neck, and 75 tubercular disease
of knee, hip and ankle. In 3.03.3e the
Surgical Apparatus Shop manufactured
427 appliances for in -patients and out-
patients, including ankle braces, spinal
braces, hip splints, bow-leg splints,
club -feet splints, plaster jackets, etc.
In thia Department in 38 years near-
ly 800 boys and girls have been treat-
ed for Club Peet and 850 corrected.
Hall of these froni places
side of Toronto. Surely we have a
fair claim for help. from the people of
this Province.
Will you, the reader of this letter,
help to give crippled chi )l'eu a fair
start in life?
Busy dollars are bettel than idle
tears The sympatb.y tket helps is
good, but the Hospital has to have the
sympathy that works.

To the leguminous crops belong beans,

should be broken up in the spring, and

Hunger and Hurst Strike
Brought Release.
London, Dec. 7. -Mrs. Emmeline
nankhurst, the militant Suffragette
leader, who was arrested at Plymouth
on Dec. 4, on her arrival from the
.United States aboard the, steamer
Majestic, was released from the Exeter
jail ,at 10 o'clock Saturday night.
Mrs. Patikhurst began a hunger and
thirst strike immediately following her
arrest.
Mrs. Pankhurst was driven to a
hotel. She appeared very weak and
inamediately retired to bed. She was
n charge of a nurse. Mrs, Pankhurst
is liberated on. seven days' license.
She intends to proceed to London at
the earliest possible' moment. .
Not anticipating. the early release of
their leader, Suffragettes gathered at
the Empress Theatre, Earl's Court, to
protest against the imprisonment of
beat., these lat er Ingle ien ale heavily

For bearing orchards, commercial fer-
tilizers are frequently used. In rich' soils
the results of their use is quite niarked,
butfpr young trees in comparatively
pocir'soil,, commercial fertilizers are not
as valttable as good barnyard manures.
An mese of nitrogen is to be avoided,
as it has the •tendeney of growing wood
rather than fruit. The potash and one-
half the phosphoric acid may be applied
in the fall, but the remainder should be
applied in spring. It is generally eon -
ceded that potash is the most imncrtant
constituent, as fruits withdraw much
larger quantities of it than they do of
nitrogen or phosphoric acid. ,

Mrs. Flora Drummond, who presided,
explained the empty seats by accusing
the Post -office of tampering with let-
ters containing Invitation tickets. ,In
the course of her speech, denouncing
the Government, she exclaimed: "Here
and now we' swear that never again
will the GOvernment get Mrs. Pank-
hurst. We shall organize a body
guard which will even face battle-
ships."
A resolution demanding the instent
release' of Mrs. Pankhurst was carried
with enthusiasm, but as the meeting
was dispersing the news of her libera-
tion was announced and was greeted
with prolonged cheers. „
Several large donations to the cause
were made and promises of further
.donations were given, amounting in
all to $50,000. This amount includes
$22,600, the proceeds of Mrs. Pank-
hurst's American tour,
Scores _oe Suffragettes invaded St.

chanted "God Save Emmeline Pank-
