Sunday School Lesson

(Editor of Tho Sunday school Times)
Obedience to Law (Temperanc
Lesson)
Sunday, Sept. 19—Leviticus 26.
Golden Text
Do not drink wine nor stron
drink, thou, no thy sons with the
(Lev. 19: 9).
The man under authority is th
strongest man in the world. Th
lawless man is the weakest Th
law-abiding man is the only one wh
knows the meaning of freedom; th
lawless man lives in habitual slay
ery. It is well for us to keep thes
fundamental facts in mind if w
would avoid weakness and bondage
If ever in the history of the wort
people needed to be reminded o
them, it is now.
Temperance is only another word
for sel-control. Not only temper-
ance in the matter of intoxicating
drinks, but temperance also in the
whole realm of living, is self-control
Real heart temperance, heart self-
control, is supernatural, and only
God can bring it to pass in a human
life. Therefore we read in Hi
Word that "th.) fruit of the Spirit i
temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23), and the
Revised Version reads, "The fruit at
the Spirit is self-control."
All law, even human law, rests inti
mately on the authority of God and
His law. The lesson chapter tells
of the promises God made to Israel
conditioned to their keeping His law,
and the punishments and sufferings
that He promised would follow their
breaking of His law. Today although
as Christians we are living in the
age of grace and are not bound by
the ceremonial laws that God laid up-
on Israel before Christ came, never-
theless, we are equally under obliga-
tion to keep God's laws as set forth
fn the New Testament, and we are
under obligation to keep the laws of
the Government under which we live,
The best Christian is the best citizen.
For Paul wrote by inspiration, "Let
every soul be subject unto the, high-
er powers"—using this term for hu-
man rulers, as the context shows.
"For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of.
God. Whosoever therefore resisteth
the power resisteth the ordinance of
God." (Rom. 13; 1-2),
Israel was told that if she kept
God's commandments He would give
her great temporal, earthly teles.. -ting
is the land that He had given her —
that strategic territory at the eastern
end of the Mediterranean Sea. Ob-
edience to law was to mean, for
Israel, the needed rain for flourishing
erops, sowing and reaping success-
fully, plenty to eat, peaceful homes
and no oppression by invading na-
tions, victory in war, health and hap-
piness.
We must remember, as we study
such Old Testament passages, that
God's promises to Israel under the
old dispensation were quite different
from His promises to the Church in
the present dispensation of grace. We
tend no such promises to the Church
in the New Testament, but, rather,,
assurances of persecution ani tem-
poral suffering as a result of faith-
fulness to God. Israel's blessings in -
eluded distinctly earthly and tem-
poral prosperity, while the Church's
blessings are spiritual and heavenly.
Yet Israel, as well as the Church, was
promised spiritual blessing ns t\'
heart of it a 11, for God says that the
/r
e crowning result of Israel's keeping.
Hie commandments is that "f will
walk among you, and will be your
:.God, and ye hall be My people."
Fellowship with God, with all the
g strength a nd joy and freedom that
e. this' means, ie the result of law -keep-
' ing, for both the Old Testament
e Israelite and the New Testament
o Christian. "I have broken the 1 ands
e of your yoke,'and made you go up -
o right," says God to Israel.
e Satan's great work is to deceive
- Wren into supposing that their rejee-
e tion of law will make then strong
e and happy ata! free. The Great Com-
. mission Player League of Chicago,
d commenting on the: terrible spirit of
f lawlessness that is seen everywhere
in society today, asks the question:
"Is this the age of "that Lawless
One'"" referring to II Thessalonians,
2:8. A New York preacher is quot-
ed as follows: "One of our most ven-
erated and far-seeing citizens recent-
ly remarked that in his eighty years
of active life, associated with some
of the most stirring events in the
s Commonwealth, he had never seen
s such an orgy of lawlessness as that
through which we are living now."
This preacher then goes on to say
that, as he began thinking ,bout the
matter, he "made some interesting
discoveries, namely, that I could not
recall ever having preached r gonion
or obedience; that I could not recall
ever having heard a sermon on obed-
ience; that when I searched volume
after volume of modern addresses
and sermons I did not run on any
that dealt with respect for encu obed-
ience to authority, Ther•.? were
plenty on freedom, on the emancipa-
tion of the individual, on the out-
growing of old restraints, but few, if
and, upon the necessity and ;glory of
being mastered by what t ightfully
masters us."
As God promi-ee overwhelming
blessings to Israel for keeping His
law, so He promises terrible punish•
ments for breaking His law, These
should be carefully read, in the les -
5011 chapter. The promise i pun-
ishments justify the Great Commis-
sion Player League in iits concluding
word, "Lawlessness is Hell."
Only the Spirit -tilled Chi•tsrtan car,
know the joy, the strength and the
freedom of keeping God's law. And
ire rejoices in the word, "Be not
drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit" (F.ph.
5: )%.
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES.
While everhetu•ing ctrawberrioe
can hardly be considered a commer-
cial 010p for general us., yet such
advances have been made with the
introduction of newer vmvoties, that
they are worth a trial in many plac-
es.
The fall yi+'ld from the varieties
is notch lower than from the June.
sorts. This neressitatee a higher
price if the returns per acre, are to
be comparable. Sone of the best
varieties have, at the. Central Expert-
mental Farm, yielded at the rate. of
2000 to 2800 boxes per Imre, the
first fall, and then have give* a
June, crop the following season at the,
rate of 4000 to 5000 cox,', with a
second fall trop about equal to the
first.
To obtain the hest- re alts fall
planting seems to be :i lri:,able. Py
Planting in Septemeer, the plants
become well tstabli,li d, and are thus
in a position to form a large num,
11.11. of runner's for the next fall's
crop. As most varieties of ever -
bearers are not rapid runner grow-
ers, plant them not more than one
font apart in the rows, and if the
first fall crop is to a feature stagger
them and put in a double row one
foot apart, leaving three and at half
feet between centres of double rows.
In this way n very litter not deer
of young plants can be e:tthl ;had
by the next autumn. Failing this,
very early spring planting of well
matured and early plants is ne0e5-
eery,
As the fruit buds of these fall
bearers are formed shortly after the
young plants root, an application of
a nitrogenous fertilizer, sometime in
July, has been found eery help1u1
in promoting. prodtictivcuees in the
fall.
It is advisable of course to keep
the blooms picked oil during the first
year until the first of July. After
that, however, they- should be per-
mitted to fruit at will. We have not
been able to obtain result,: from the
,removal of the bloom the s^100(1
spring. At this time, blos:nm remov-
al is really impracticable m
r cticable ow' „
to
the heayy expense involved andthe
loss of a good June crop.
Of the varieties to be recommend-
ed, only two have really been treed
at: this Station, viz., Champion and
Duluth. These are both improve-
ments over Progressive and Superb
under our conditions. The two oth-
er much advertised varieties, Masto-
don and Rockhill, have not fruited
here as yet, but the writer bac seen
the Rockhill in other places where it
appeared to bre the most promising
fall bearing sort yet introduced.
Canadians must remember that
our fells are not as lone ,as further
south, which means that finny green
berries are frozen on the vines. This
necessitates a considerable discount
from the fall yields reported from
other quarters.
ON THE FLYING OF KITES
AS A PASTIME
On a clear day, when a gentle
breeze was blowing, it was a ram
mon occurrence to find boys sitting
on, the slope of a hill flying their
kite_, sometimes quietly ane some-
times Working up to a pitch of ex-
citement equaled only on the base-
ball or the football field. It was a
pleasing sight. It had all the ele-
ments of an attractive open-air sport
and caused grown-ups who chanced
to be passing to hesitate in .heir step
and watch the kites soar skyward. It.
made little difference whether the
kite was diagonal or triangula• Sn
shape, whether it was made of new
pink paper or the castaways of an
evening edition. What counted was
that it rose to the least wind, and
maintained its course to the end of
the string.
What a picture it made against
the clouds! What a grateful poise:!
What a silent yet eloquent messen-
ger, establishing commun1cation be-
tween earth and sky! What signi-
ficance in the tug of the string on the
hand, as the yite rose and fell lightly
011 the breath of the wind! How re-
luctant the flier to coil the string,
and how careful to see, after a tri-
umphant flight, that the kite should
clear the treetops and not become en-
tangled in the branches! Kite flying
has a thrill that geeps the memory
green. It was such a thrill that Dee id
Copperfield got when he went with
the unforgettable Mr. Dick to fly the
big kite which had pasted oh it scraps
of the famous memorial out of which
it was so difficult to keep the kcal of
King Charles I.
To David the thoughts of Mr. Dick
seemed to soar with the kt e, and how
many boys' thoughts have risen un-
der similar circumstances? Few are
'unfamiliar with Benjamin Franklin's
exploits with a kite on a lake, the
assistance it rendered him in pulling
him across the surface of the water
when he did not care to swim; or the
other great use to which he put it
when he drew electricity from the
clouds, Since then it has been a
constant use, in meteorological work
es well ars in other branches of acti-
vity, and not the least appealing was
the use made of it by the steeplejack
in preparing for the work of repair-
ing a chimney. -
Had the thoughts of a kite only
come to the men who watched a briek
layer build a chimney so high that
he ;meld not come down by hie own
efforts, a good story might have been
Met; for it was the resourcefulness
of his wife in telling him to unwind
the wool in his stocking and drop
that down so that a string might
reach him, and later a rope, which.
brought about his rescue, and gave
him a place in the schoolbooks of a
generation ago. So divergent and
numerates are the uses of a kite, and
so far into the remote and distant

seem to be diminishing, Shops which

circular top, the diagonal =end the
box -shaped kites of the "elite." More
complicated diversions are taking
their. place, But if other sports are
supplanting kite flying, there arc

Getting ,Away "Smoothly"
The proper way to xtart a car le
to shift to low, give the engine a
little gas, and then, while observing
the car, let the clutch in very slowly
until the ear just begins to move,
then the clutch must be held, the "let.
tial:- in" stopping altogether, until the
car has moved a few feet. Then, and
while the car is in motion, t he clutch
can slowly be let in the lest of the
way. It is this stopping of the rais-
ing the clutch pedal, or " holditf th0
clutch," which is the secret of a
smooth start.
REMOVING BROKEN STUDS
If a stud is broken en e sm•ewhole
only a thin lubricant, such as para-
ffin and light engine oil mixed. In a
few hours the lubricant will soak to
the bottom and make removal. easy.
If from this stage a hole about half
the diameter of the stud is drilled
with a flat drill, with the cut rever-
sed, er "left-handed," the vibration
usually will loosen the thread and
the drill will turn thel stud instead of
cutting its way into the metal,
- To Reduce "Gas" Bill
To get more miles from each gal-
lon of gasoline, every driver should
be sure that the timing is 100 per
cent. correct on the car and the car-
buretor is set for a lean mixture, so
that the engine will operate efficient-
ly after it becomes warmed up. The
danger here, however, is one the`
must be carefully watched. It would
be futile to set the carburetor so lean
that considerable driving would have
to be done with the choke extended,
for if the choke is pulled out often
rad much driving is done, the lubri-
cnnt will be diluted Brom the excess
gasoline which flows into each cylin-
der and runs past the rings. After
being certain that timing and car-
buretor are set correctly, be sure that
the car is thor'oughte lubricated be
that it may roll freely on a level
street.
Spaugs

chamber and position of th ;+park

The horn is especially helpful at
cross roads. But de,vcrs should not

more widely representative abroad eer's hammer'
of the varied activities of Canadian
life. The new express company had not
only to move traffic but to help create
it. In those days the management
was a free agent in naming rates. At
that time, it was possible to and the
company did make low rates to en-
courage the farmer,' the fruit grower
and the fisherman without great
regard for the cost or the profit of the
moment. It was also free from the
necessity of extending unprofitable
rates to others not requiring them,
and had power to withdraw unpro-
fitable rates when they had served
the world, and the Dominion
Express had established a name. in
financial and transportation circles
that was universally honored. The
change was made, Mr. Stout said,
in the hope that in other countries
where the name and services of the
Canadian Pacific are better known
and more extensively advertised and
where, to a, very large extent, the
credit of Canada is one with that of
the parent transportation system
such good -will as 18 held by the rail
and steamship company will reflect to
the advantage of the express com-
pany.
When ie:rt -four ,years ago W. C,

vice-pre,kett of the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway, desired to place the
express service on the company's
lines in the hands of a regular
express company, the Dominion
Express Company whieh had been
incorporated to 1871,• was formed
with W. S. Stout, et very young
expressman as Superintendent. His
job was to give service over

tance of 445 miles
