Everywhere one secs fields that are satisfactory ■in every particular. Mixed crops of oats and (barley have matured well. ........ ................\............ The oat crop is well above the aver­ age in straw and grain, though some anxiety was felt an -account of the excessively high temperatures of the first few days of the week. The cool days of 'the middle of tlie week have releived a good deal of anx­ iety. Apples Will be Scarce Apples are likely to prove decid­ edly scarce on account of the drought of the fall of 19(30 and of the scarcity of rain during the last few weeks. Most orchards will yield enough for their owners’ own consumption, but very little more. Plums are not abundant on account of the lack of moisture. Corn is a fair average in growth and stand. It requires rain. Rain and a few dark days are re­ quired for the clover seeding of last spring.As the nurse crops are re­ moved from the young clover thq tender plants are shrivelling under the burning sunshine. When it comes to the potato and turnip and mangels' and/ the hote crops .-generally, the need of rain is much in evidence. Great cracks are appearing in the fields where THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE 1W such crops are grown, these cracks increasing vaporation and breaking the tender plant roots. Pastures are becoming quite bare, with a consequent falling ■off in the milk' flow. Unless abundant rain conies soon cultivation for the sowing of the fall wheat will be badly interfered with.

The love of the mother heart did not crowd out her loye for God. The time caxne when she took little Samuel to Shiloh. There she reminded the old priest Eli that she was the woman whom he had seen standing there and praying unto the Lord, and how she was giving back to the Lord wliat He had so grac­ iously given to her, “For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given nie my petition which I asked Of Him: therefore , . , as long as he livetli he shall be lent to the Lord.” Hannah’s psalm of thanksgiving has came down through the ages as part of the very W-ord of God, It contains familiar verses precious to many: “Neither is there any rock like our God.” “They that stumb­ led are girded with strength.” “He will keep the feet of His saints.” As a wee bairn little Samuel be­ gan to “minister unto the Lord be-^ fore Eli the priest.” It must have been hard for Hannah to leave her precibus child in the temple and take the journey home without him; yet' her lieaj’t' was rejoicing; she knew the little fellow was safer with the Lord away from her than if she had kept him with her 'away from the Lord. But what a precious touch of mother love is this, en­ shrined by inspiration in the Word of God: made him it to him she came offer the yearly sacrifice. In the temple one night little Samuel heard 'a voice call his name. He ran to Eli and said; “Here am I.” The old man explained that he had not called and told the boy to lie down happened, God was told him again he should say: “Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.” Samuel was Called again, and when he answered, the Lord reveal­ ed to him what He would have to do to t'he wicked sons of Eli, who were dishonouring the house of God and blaspheming H}is while they ministered the temple. The next asked the boy to tell God had said, and S'amuel hid noth­ ing from the, old priest, who accept­ ed God’s judgment submissively. Samuel had become a prophet of God indeed. It is striking fact that just before this, the scripture speak of .Samuel in almost the very words used of the boy JesipS: “And the boy Samuel grew, and was in favor both with the Lord 'and also with men.” (Luke 2:52.) As -Samuel grew up, “the Lord was with him, and did net none of his words fall to the ground.” All that Samuel said as God’s prophet came to pass. And the whle nation of Israel “knew that Samuel was established to lie ■a prophet of the Lord.” W. S, lUTUAUU8BORNE <8: HIBBERT FIRE INSURANCE C0MPANT Head Office, FnrauKar. Out.

Rich lessons 'are found in story of Hannah the godly mother.

Before the temple of Shiloh Han­ nah poured out her soul in bitter­ ness before God and ple'aded with Him for a son, vowing that if God granted her prayer she would dedi­ cate tlie son to the Lord’s service for his entire life. Eli, the old priest at the temple door, saw the woman’s lips moving, but heard no voice, and thought she had been drinking; he rebuked her. Respectfully she cleared herself of this charge, -and told of her longing and prayer. Imagine her joy as the priest said: “Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou has asked Him.” She reurned to her home home with her husband, countenance Was no more sad.” But before they returned they “rose up in the morning early and worshipp­ ed before the Lord.” What would family life be today if worship had this place in it?
