CZECIIO-SLOVAKIA That Czecho-Slovakia presents to- 4iay a. picture of happy, contented ^people, who are delighted to think £hat they have gained their inde pendence from the rest of Europe, was the optimistic impression which Mrs. Louis J. Hornat', formerly Miss jDown, of Centralia, received during jber three and a half years in the City of Prague. Mrs. Hornat, whose husband is Canadian inspector of •^migration in that country, is a ^guest' with her sister, Mrs, J. Tro- then, Wortley road, London. In an interview with the London .Advertiser, Mrs. Hornat said: “The ^people put me in mind of beavers, they are always so busy with their handicrafts, at which they are em ployed in their homes, for the ex port trade. Home industries, such ns the finely embroidered linens and ({silks, which are to be found all .over tlie world/ cut-glass and bead work, xis well as the beaiitiful hand-paint- -ed china and wood novelties, have -given the 'people much employment -emd have made them contented.” Mrs. Hornat described the district aaear Prague as being a very romatic ^and interesting -old part with many castles. “Everywhere you go1 there always something new to be seen,” sshe said. ( “In the cities the people dress .ignite like we do with practically the same styles,' but' in the rural parts the men and women wear their na tional costumes, especially on Sun-’ sflays. Each village has its own special dress, and the churches pre ssent a very picturesque sight when sail the worshippers are assembled.” Speaking of the churches, Mrs. 'Hornat was most enthusiastic over -the beauty of the architecture and She lovely statues which the sculpt- J6KTS of .the country have produced. Many of the edifices in the rural dis tricts are small, but have esqueness which is not to in Canada. Czecho-iSlovakia, which of Poland and Hungary before the war, has improved her educational system since gaining independence, was the opinion of Mrs. Ho/rnat, who said that the Bohemians, Mor avians and Slovaks, who were kept in comparative ignorance by the Hungarians and Poles, now have a splendid system whereby all the people* are instructed. .Specially well- equipped >are the schools in Slo vakia with as fine kindergartens as are found anywhere. Since the war, the conditions of greatly improved Czecho-Slovakians send their money Vienna to improve those cities, as they were compelled to dp formerly. Contented to stay a;t home and work at the many crafts for which they are noted, the district now is show ing the good results of., their thrift. Mrs. Hornat described the peasant villages as being particularly fascin ating to visit, specially when. the folk dances are being held on festive occasions or on Sundays when every one is dressed* in the gaily colored costumes. . The ooffee-houses too, held a strange charm for the visit or when the peasants gathered there to enjoy a social evening. Mrs. L. J.

DIRECTOR^ siblo at the time, was glad to hear that were going to neighboring lands, not stop there. He turned from foreign countries to the homeland and declared the punishment of Judah and Israel, because they have despised the law' of the Lord, and have not kept His commandments.” He reminded God’s people of the wonders of grace and mercy and blessing that God had poured out' upon- them since He brought them out of the land of Egypt, and then he recited the sins of this people against God, The personal experience and voca tion Of the herdman come out in a vivid figure used, by Amos in pre dicting the terrible judgments of God. “Thus saith the Lord, as the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Da- .mascus in a couch.” This would be called sensational if an evangelist said it today, but God’s judgments are sensational. | The prophet shows, how empty are the sacrifices offered by Judah and Israel—they were offered’ in a way contrary to God’s law, and by a sinning and hypocritical people. There is more “religion” in the world today than ever before—and les righteousness. Naturally, Amos got into trouble. Men of God who tell the truth fear lessly, regardless of consequences,, have always had trouble. A faith-- less priest, Amaziah, sent word to King Jeroboam himself to say that Amos was conspiring against' the king, and doing it publicly, and “the land is not able to bear 'all his words.” Amos, said Amaziah, was actually saying that Jeroboam should die by the sword and Israel should be led away captive out of her land. Finally Amaziah commanded Amos to flee from the land and prophecying. The reply of Amos, was .and conclusive. He had prophet, he said, yet God had called him from follow ing the flock 'and commanded him to prophecy unto Israel. He .had simp ly obeyed God. And he gave an ad ditional prophecy now: the false' priest Amaziah himself should die in judgment after his family had gone down in, disaster and -death. As Israel and Judah hardened themselves against God’s word the prophecies of coming judgment deep ened and increased. The next to the last chapter of the book is ter rible in its intensity and tragic •a closing after the residents of John Another of the pioneer of Mitchell in the person Tilley passed ■> away recently in his 75th year. He was born in the town ship of Darlington and came to Mit chell with his parents when he was an infant. For a number of years late Mr. Tilley has been totally blind. Besides his widow two sons and four daughters survive, It is a dramatic picture brought before us by the Book of Arnos. One Of the great kingdoms of history was at the zenth of its power. Pros'* perity was on every side. The king was proud, satisfied, iself-assured. The people were living in luxury, indulgence, pleasure-seeking and sin There was no cause for anxiety to be seen in any direction, Sudden ly an unknown man from the coun try districts makes his appearance in the leading cities. He is a herd man, a cowboy, unused to city'ways, knowing nothing of the luxuries and refinements of the prosperous cen tres. And lie thunders a message of impending doom upon this happy, successful, carefree kingdom, reason he gives for the approachin, disaster is the fact that the has turned away from God. His words sound as the ings of a madman to the self-assured men and women nation, He is laughed at, set aside as one not quite right in his mind, and every word he utters is fulfil led to We ation great1 in the days before the last' when prosperity seemed established and assured, and if ,-an unknown farmer or rancher had appeared in Toronto or London or New York and had predicted the complete downfall of his nation. It is easier to be lieve in the possibility of such -down falls in the troubled days that now confront the whole world than it was twenty years ago. Humanly speaking, it was impossible for Is rael to take Amos seriously. But he was speaking the very words of God; and God’s words never fail. Moreover, God is calling upon the nations everywhere today to turn from sin and self-seeking t'o1 Him self, lest such disaster as overtook Israel shall have to »fall upon the nations today. • It is significant' that the opening verse of the book tells us that Amos prophesied “two years before the earthquake.” The shaking of the earth was evidently an early warn ing of the disaster God was going to send in fulfillment of His pro phet’s message. Earthquakes, are more than natural phenomena;' study them as scientists may, they have come through the centuries as arbitrary expressions of God’s ,sov- erign power and' as His judgments upon this world. They are .predict ed by the Lord Jesus Christ as signs of the end of this age under God’s judgment before the Lord’s return to establish His kingdom on earth. And -garthquakes are now greatly in- -re^ing in frequency and intensity Mbughout the world, especially in places where scientists; have told hs they could not occur. In his first two chapters Amos tells of divine judgment's that would strike surrounding countries, Damascus, in the north, Gaza and Philistine cities, and Tyre, Ed-om, Bozarh and others.
