Rain is a subject that is often in the

of daily discussion between individuals
in every land and clime. This year
we have experienced a very dry sum-

tore, Our grain crops have suffered to
some extent also but on the whole,
they have been excellent, and we had
good harvest weather,
In England where a bumper crop
was in prospect, torrential rains dur-
ing the harvest season destroyed much'
of the crop, and greatly reduced the
yield of the crops that were garnered.
For over 4400 years this earth's har-
vests" have been subject to the vag-
aries of the weather, with too much
rain in some localities and too little
in other places. Here in South-West-
ern Ontario, we have generally been
fortunate enough to receive ample
moisture without getting too much.
We have become so accustomed -to fav-
orable treatment in the matter of wea-
ther that we grumble when it is just a
little too dry, or a trifle too wet, to
suit or particular tastes or needs.
We are wonderfully blessed 'by re-
ceiving moisture freely in season when
we need it, The marvellous ingenuity
and tremendous scope of our world
watering system is amazing.
In prehistoric times the earth was
watered by a mist, which arose from
the ground„ At that time, it is gener-
ally believed there wee a cloud envel-
ope around the entire earth. The sun's
rays never penetrated 'that vapor shell,
and their heat was 'evenly diffused over
the whole surface of the earth. The
polar regions were as warm as the
tropics; and there never was any ex-
cessive heat, cold, ice, snow, or seas-
ons in those clays.
Then about 441'7 years ago, because ,
of the sins of men, God destroyed ev-
ery
1
living creature. except those saved
in-the Ark, off the face of the earth
by a great "flood", • He broke up that
cloud envelope; 'and it tabled on the
earth for forty days and forty nights.
So mighty was the deluge that it cov-
ered the whole-earth above the highest
mountains.
In prehistoric times there may have
been just one . large land area or conti-
nent, and one vast sea, possibly the
Pacific. Many who believe that theory
also think that the tremendous weight

a the water of the "Deluge" dented
the earth's crust et weaker points,
forming .1)0w. oceans, seas and' lakes;
and forcing up new bills and moun-
tains, They also believe that the jeg•
endary, lost continent, Atlantis, was
prebably drowned by the new-formed
Atlantic ocean at that time,
Thus God prepared our modern
watering-system over 4400 years ago.
He removed the cloud envelope, and
the earth, for the first time,..Perien-
ced rain, sunshine, beet, cold, winds,
frost, ice, snow, and .clifferent seasons;
because, "in the beginning", He had
tilted the earth's axis • to give these
things after the vapor shell should Le
removed. •
So we have our modern,, world
watering-system. The heat of' the
tropics causes surface Water to form
into vapor, which rises awl forms'
clouds, These clouds are distributer)
over the surface of the earth by winds;
and when colder tile from the polar
regions meets the warmer air masses,
the vapor' condenses and falls on the
earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, de-
1eending on the coldness of the eir.cur-
rente.
Then surplus rainfall drains off the
land through creeks rivers, and lakes
and finally reaches the oceans again.
So the endless watering-system keeps
circulating, and we get the moisture
that we. need.
Next time the rain doesn't come ex-
actly on the schedule that 'we would
like, 'we should remember the thous-
ands of miles it has to come, and all
the other 'Divine agencies, such as heat;
vaporization, winds, cold, condensation,
and gravitation, necessary to supply
ur o :wants. ,

BIRDS GOING SMITH

babilities in . the daily press, but they
are more weather wise than we human
I beings who do receive such reports.
, They know that summer has gone, that
,fall is here, and that soon it will be
winter.
• Nature has given birds an instinct
which is unerring. Day-.after day dur-
ing .the past few 'weeks they gathered
by the thousands, in ever larger flecks,
in the bushes. reeds, and grass border-
ing along :the rivers and ponds. ' They
keew that the time was near when
they would have to .wing their. way
south to a warmer clime. They flew
about intermittently and kept 'up an
endless, vociferous chirping and chat-
tering from - dawn to dusk, as though
arguing over the best time -to. start
the trip, and the best (teeth-iodine at
which to spend the next few months..
Already many of them have -departed
and gone south.
