They tell us That science has wiped out the possibility of such a one as the great Shepherd of the flock of humanity. Yet even they aro not dead 'o This great thought that so long stirred mews souls and made them brave, ready to sacrifice, to die. The truth is, the singer of long ago was but giving expression, in figures familiar to him, of a truth we all appre- hend with greater or less clearness, ono thul alone gives strength, hope, and faith to our hearts, the conviction that back of all THE WARRING PURPOSES and Jangling discorrts of our lives and our world there is reason, and order, and beneficence.

Egypt was known in antiquity ns the land of plenty, because its fertility was depen- dent, not on uncertain and scanty rain- fall, as was the case In Palestine, but on the regular and unfailing flow of the Nile (liver, caused by the perennial melt- ing of the snow and the !wavy rainfall in early spring near the headwaters of th•' etreant far up in limo Nubian moun- tains to the south.

The Canaan. ites and Perizzites are frequently asso- ciated with each other, in the narratives of Genesis and Judges especially. From some of these narratives it would seem that the latter occupied a district about Rolla -el and Shechem particularly, but the probable derivation of the word from " p crazi," meaning country folk or peasantry, mukes it seem probable that the name refers to Itre village popula- tion of Canaan, the tillers of the soil in general rather than to any particular tribe or race.
