TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday 8ohoalT,mrs) THE MINISTRY OF ISAIAH Sunday, April 7. ---Isaiah !i: 1-13; 7: 1-17; 20: 1-0; 3S: 1-32. Golden Text. Then said I, Here am I; send me. (Ise. 6:8.) For six moth's we are to study "Prophetic Teaching and Leadership of Judiah." It is a striking fact that the appearance of a prophet, in the history of Israel and Judah, always means that God had some contro- versy with His people. Prophets are God's spokesmen. Sometimes they %predicted future events, some- thnes they gave needed spiritual and moral truth for the present mo- ment. But always, when they were truly God's prophets, they delivered the message of God in the very word, of God to His people. trod sent them, and inspired them, in order to warn His people of their sins and to bring them back to God and right- eousness if this were possible. The six months' course takes us from Isaiah to the exile and captivi- ty of Judah, and then on into exile experiences, and finally the restora- tion of Judah to her own land again. It is one of the most momentous epochs in history. Seven outstand- ing (prophets, or Jewish leaders, come before us for study in the six months: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Malachi. Ia addi- tion to these a godly King appears, Hezekiah, and a true high priest, Hilkiah, under the boy Ring Josiah. The time covered by the six months' lessons is something over three and one-half centuries, from B. C. 760 to 397. Three of the lessons are from Is- aiah. Note the following from the Scofield Reference Bible: "Isaiah is justly accounted the chief of the writing prophets. He has the more comprehensive testimony. and is di.- tinetively the prophet of redemption. Nowhere else in the Echiptures writ- ten under the law have we so clear a view of grace, . , Messiah in His person and sufferings, and the bless- ing of the Gentiles through Him, ar,: in full vision." Four great events are recorded in this week's lesson: Isaiah's vision and comnlisson; the great sten end prophecy of the virgin birth of Christ; an object -les: on-proi he "" of God's judgment on two great heathen nations; the miraculous heeling of a Ring of Judah. Isaiah "saw the Lord." Other great men of Bible history haveeseen the Lord, and repeatedly the effect is the same; they are stricken down by the vision, terrified, and over- whelmingly conscious of their sin. Isaiah's vision showed hint the Lord on a throne, high and lifted up, as heavenly beings cried, "Holy, hbly, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the Whole earth is full of His glory." God's perfect and overwhelming holiness had one instant effect upon Isaiah—and we triust renlembor that 'Isaiah was probably a man whose life was righteous far beyond most :nen. But ht cried "Woe is me, for I gut uu,iviie ; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a 'people of unclean lips." We never know the real meaning of our sin until we have seen the Lord. Tiwre fo'aowod God's e1eans'ng of Isaiah by a live coal of fire from the altar : his 1!:s were cleared, "and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy 4. _ nrrr:d." We cannot be cleansed of our sin until we have been con- victed of it and have confessed it. God then seeks for some one to send to his people, and Isaiah an- swers, "Here am I ; send nme." He receives God's divine commission to tell Judah of her sin and pronounce God's corning judgment upon the na- tion, yet not the utter aestruction of the people. A. new conception of God ; a new conviction of sin ;,a new cleansing from sin ; a new commission from God ; these were Isaiah's experiences, and these must be our own if we are to let God use es as he would. Some sixteen years later Isaiah is given a message to Ahaz, King of Judah, whose capital, Jereusalem was threatened by enemies. He was as- sured by the profit that the attack on Jereusalem should fail. Then came one of the greatest "signs" and pro- phecies in the entire bible. More than seven centuries before the birth of Christ this prophet Isaiah declared: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bare a son, and shall eaU His name shall be Immanuel." If one has any doubt as to the unique inspiration of the Bible,. and its divine infaliibilty, this passage should clear away such doubt forever. The Hebrew word here translated "virgin" means virgin and not a young woman as some dis- tructive critics of the word have tried to show. Professor Robert Dick Wil- son of Princeton, one of the greatest linguists of modern times, has settled this conclusively. Almost thirty years tater Isaiah was told by God to walk naked and barefoot before the people as a pro- phetic sign that Egypt, and Ethiopia were to be taken captive, naked and barefoot, by the King of Assyria. God's prophecies, dealt not only with His own people 1,rael and Judah, but with hmathen nations in relation to Ilis ,people. Four years later the Ring of Ju- dah, IIezekiah, lay sick unto dr'ath. lie• plcadrrd with God foe his recov- ery. God sent l.eainh to him with the message : "Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayers. I have seen thy tears : behold, I will add unto thy days fil" tern years; And I will deliver thee end this city out of the hand of the King of Assyria." The shadow of the sun dial was actually turned backwards ten de- gree., as a miracle sign of this div- inely promised healing. "Is anything foo hard foie the Lord?"

Three fish hatcheries will soon be in operation in Alberta, those at Banff and Waterton Lake being supplemented by one at Edmonton. Each can handle 1,600,000 fry a season. These are not necessarily "fried fish." A twenty dollar gold piece that was 'mored for a thousand dollars and that sold for twelve hundred, was recently shipped by Canadian Pacific Express. The coin was one of ::even struck by the government in the 'Caribou district at the lime of the gold rush, It being, thought that a mint could best be operated on the spot. This proved unecon- omical, however, and sifter seven pieces had been issued, the project was :,h.,n,inned, The coin in ques- tion w•a.; ;1:;sued l' the S.B.

Most fruits. except those indigen- ous to the tropics, or sub -tropics, are now grown in British Columbia. Apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, prunes, nectarines, figs, loganberries, raspberries, strawber- ries, grapes, almonds and other less hardy fruits and nuts are now grown commercially. Apples have been grown for 17 years, rising in volume of production from 220,000 to 3,000,000 bushels. With 99 arrivals scheduled at the Port of Montreal and Quebec dur- ing the 1929 season, the Canadian Pacific sets up a new record for one line sailing its ships via the St. Lawrence route. There will be 74 arrivals and departures at Mont- real and 25 at Quebec, the season opening with the arrival on April 26th of the Montclame and the Du- chess of York, The latter will be on her maiden voyage of the St. Lawrence. The first arrival at Quebec will be the Empress of Scotland, May 4th, after a winter of Bruising in the Moddterraaean. One little pig went to market; and low and behold there were eight little pigs when the shipment arrived. It was a sow, and en route seven little pigs were barn. Whether the shipper or the express company should pay the tares of the seven extra and unexpected pigs is a matter that has not been decided yet. Thirty thousand tons of railway material—trucks and steel framing for box cars—will shortly leave Vancouver for the Orient, as equip- ment for the Trans-Siberian Rail- way. The order for this material was placed thirteen years ago, but delivery was halted with the out- break of the Russian Revolution, and the equipment held in the ran- adian Pacific Rallway's yards at Coquitlam until conditions for do - livery were more favorable.

We have progressed beyond the stage of bartering furs to fill our daily tobac- co pouch, the turnover in fur -trading places it among the 15 or 20 greatest industries in the land. More fur coats are worn now than ever before. The better heating of our buildings has made heavy cloth- ing indoors less essential, and e warmer wrap is necessary when out- side. That which was a luxury a few years ago is now a necessity. This new demand, coming at e time when our wild animals have been driven back to their last stand by advancing settlement, necessitates bringing the fur -bearing animals un- der cultivation. The fox farms that are now common throughout the country are evidence of what has al- ready. ,been done. The individual pelts of these animals are sufficient- ly valuable to make such farming profitable. Other animals farmed in this way include the raccoon, mink, beaver and lynx. MUSKRAT IS KING But nowadays most of our furs do not come from these expensive fur - bearing animals. The lowly musk- rat, once despised, is destined to supply our future furs. While plenty of pelts from Large animals were available the trapper had no time to give to the small muskrat skins, which he could sell for perhaps 15 or 20 cents. This field of endeavor was left for the farm boy atter school hours, who might fill his poc- kets with candy on Saturday by his sales to the town merchant. But as the price rose, reaching the neigh- borhood of $10 a pelt in 1919-20, later to become fairly stabilized at about $2, these pelts were worth while. The furriers found them more desirable than they had sup- posed, as they were easily dyed and made to imitate very closely the more expensive furs, Such furs are sold under a great variety of trade names ending with "seal" or "mink". But even at $2 a spelt it is 'not profitable to raise and feed musk- rats in houses. The solution of the problem, however, is not difficult The muskrat is an aquatic animal, and its natural habitat is the waste revamp lands which are totally un- suited for any agrioultural purpose.

Canadian Poultry For The Orient The judging rof poultry has during � the past years been changing from colour markings and form to actual performances in laying eggs. The Canadian Record of performance is giving Canadian poultry raisers in all parts of the world. For sines the World's Poultry Congress was held in Canada in 1927, the =ports of fine , poultry, have been increasing. Not only breeding stock but hatching eggs have been going forward over long distances. Japan took considerable stock last year and it is reported by the Poultry Division of the Live Stock Branch of the Department of Agri- culture at Ottawa) that the hatchings from eggs sent to Japan were well over fifty per cent. Already this year some three thousand hatching eggs have gone to that country. One shipment in the month of February carried one thousand hatching eggs far the Japanese Experimental Farms system and twenty mature White Leghorn fowls for a private Japanese breeder.
