It was a great, epoch-making op - Joshua, already seen, , ject lesson, at the very beginning of Israers experiences in the promised land, of victory by faith; such vic• tory as God promised His people continually and invariably if only they would live by faith in Him. And faith, let us remember, always includes obedience; it is impossible to trust God fully and disobey Hirn at the same time. ; Moreover, it was an object lesson of the truth thab God's ways are not our ways. "The central truth here is that spiritual victories are won by zneans and upon principles utterly foolish and inadequate in the view of human wisdom" (L Cor. 1:17-29; H. Cot, 10,3-5). Joshua, evidently acting under in- spiration, pronounced a strange curse on the ruins of the city: "Cursed be the man before the Lord,ethat riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho he shall lay the foundation therefore in his firstborn, and in bis youngest son shall he set up the gates af it" (6: 26.) More than five centuries later Jericho was rebuilt, and in its rebuild- ing Joshua's curse was fulfilled to the letter (I. Kings 16:34.) as we have is the same name as Jesus; made len of the words Je-hoshua, it mean; Je- hovah -Saviour. As one of the out- standing Old Testament types of Cheat, Joshua lived and fought and won by his faith, even as the man Christ Jesus did in the days of His flesh. Christ lived the faith life. Joshua lived the faith life. God asks every .one of us to live the faith life. Striking and supernaturel things have occurred in Israel's experience since our lesson of Oct. 21, when Joshua was given his commiesion as Israel's new leader. He was -told to live in the Word of God dey and night (Josh. 1:8), for that is tile only way our faith can he feci. He was told he need never be afraid if he did this. Faith and fearlessness go together. Joshua accepted his commission, took immediate command of the people, sent two .ipies ahead to view the land as far as Jericho, and received their report that victory over the Canaanites was certein, "for even all the inhabitants of the coun- try do faint because of us" (Josh. 2: 24.) Then came the first miracle under Joshua's leadership, Followine the Ark of the Covenant, a perfect type of Christ, the people "passed clean over Jordan," as God cut off the waters and the people made a - triumphal entry intothe land of pro- I mise. God was preparing, the way, for I when the Kings of the Amoriees and of the Canaanites "heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jor- dan from before the childrea of Is- ; race . . their heart melted, neither I was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel" (5:1.) Israel began eating the ;torn of the land; and the very next day the man- na ceased. There was no lomeer n,ced of wilderness food. The time had come for the ,second great miracle, and the first great eon - quest. Jericho was a mighty walkd- city, ruled by a Ring and defended by "mighty men of valor." Is it too much to say that GO told Joelma and the Israelites to make foolf themselves before these mighty men and their king? For God eirected the Israelites to mareh aroun 1 the walls of Jericho once a ,day for :ex days and on the seventh clay they ehould marcharound the walls ,ieven give a great shout, sine the walle- veould fall clown!

One of the most popular .featuree at the United Empire Exhibition at Wembley last yeas', according to a London writer, was the great racer. Everything that gives a thrill, he says, is popular and the bigger the thrill the bet,..er the show is pat- ronized and tho more money rolls tn. So entertaiument inanagere are al- ways on the look -out for something new in timing. The water chute, early effort in this direction, was originated by a wide-awake syndicate, which rented the lake in the North Tower Gardens; or the Crystal Palace, London, anti produced there a repre- sentation of the Niagara Rapids. They spent something like £25,000 In erecting this attraction, The sen- sation -hunter boarded a boat, which first plunged down a tremendous waterfall; then, after a dazzling course through caves and rocks, the trip ended on the calm lake. A thrill of another type is provided by an Italian hotel proprietor. He has bought a site on the summit of an inactive, but not extinct, volcano, and is building an hotel there. Those desiring excitement of the most in- tense brand will sleep In an under- ground chamber, which has an asbes- tos floor, on the bed of the crater. They will almost certainly experience slight earthquake shocks, and there Is always the off -chance of an ex- plosion. Those who would prefer to go "under -sea" are catered for in the kiosk -hydro, an installation invented to enable sightseers to descend into the sea. The observation chamber, which is circular and of steel, is fitted with double water -tight windows, above which are powerful electric lamps of tremendous candle-power. This chamber is gained by descending a narrow staircase from the larger chamber at water -level. For original thrills, however, the United States is hard to beat. In one town a runaway train was adver- tised, For this a. special track was laid down, roughly eircelar in shape, and banked up like a racing track. But this was the undoing of the show, for the engine, started from a siding, had not made sufficient speed by the time it reached the circle, and the slope caused the whole train to top- ple over into the centre of the course. The spectators, thus depriv- ed of their thrill, showed their dis- appointment by wrecking the en- closure. There was one daring U. S. citizen who thrilled onlookers by acting as a coupling between an engine and a carriau. It may have amused the spectators but it was fatal to the wretched man, who died of heart strain. Tugs -of -war between railway en- gineshave also been tried. The most sensational of these was when one excited driver over -taxed his charge to such an extent that the boiler burst and several of the spectators were injured. THE NEGRO PROGRESSES, Are Breaking the Bonds Binding Them to a Corner of the South. The heavy migration of negroes to the Northern States in recent years evidently marks a definite change in the soCial conditions of that hereto- fore oppressed and slighted race. The vision of Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington has become overshadowed by the new militant spirit of his people which has caused them to break the bonds binding them to a corner of the South and has led them to be- lieve that the,world is theirs if they but go after it. They are asserting their rights for recognition as citizens of the 'United States, say the Toronto Globe, and doing it in a fashion that is clearing the way of all obstaeles. When efforts are made to discrim- inate against them as property own- ers they appeal to a national organ- ization well provided with funds, ready to carry their fight to the high- est court. To establish further their position they have organized a league designed to train their membership to take a place in industrial life. It is to their credit that they are not evading opportunity to work. They are replacing foreigners as long- shoremen in New York, as toilers in the stockyards of Chicago, and as unskilled laborers in the motor fac- tories of Detroit If the program of the National Urban League works out they will soon emerge in large numbers from training schools as skilled workers. It will be profitable for the United States if this work is given encour- agement. The rising generations of negroes were becoming restless. They saw no reason why they should be compelled to submit to repressive laws and ungenerone treatment while hundreds of thoesands of foreigners from Europe were admitted to the country and hailed with delight as new citizens, entitled to vote and to become Representatives in Legisla- tures and Houses of Congress, They ware becoming a fertile field for Bol- shevist propaganda. But fortunately they are working out their problem, and doing It with every ' apparent prospect of auecens. World's Tallest Building.

Almost 80,000 Eggs Distributed An- nually From Eugenia Falls. Twenty-ulne thousand pheaeant eggs Were distributed thrbughout Ontario 'eat year, and, although the Present season was very backward and the birds did not begin laying well, it la expected that almost as many will be sent out thie year. This work has been going on under the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries for four years, with the de- mand for eggs increasing rapidly every spring. "We cannot begin to suePlY elle demand for pheasant eggs," states Deputy Minister MacDonald. "It would have taken some to 76,000 every year," Most of these ease come from a 75 -acre pheasant farm maintained by the Department at Eugenia Fano. Here 1,000 English Itiagnecks are kept under natural conditions, and their ogee collected. In the bush these birds would lay a setting of 15 eggs and then proceed to hatch them out. If the season was particularly favorable they might perhaps bring out a second setting later on, but that would be the limit. At Eugenia, however, where the eggs are collect- ed, the birds will lay from 40 to 50 each season. All the English pheasants in On- carth to -day trace back to an import- ation of 50 birds made by the De- partment from the United States a few years ego. In the spring of 1926 twenty-seven Hungarian plitetaants were imported from their eative country and put on the place at Eu- genia. If these prove satiseactory and show signs of a reasonable 'annual increase thee" will be distributed through Ontario. When visiting the Western Provinces three years ago the 'writer noticed quite a few Hun- garian pheasants, the descendants of a few importations made by one of the Provincial Governments. The pheasants seem to be multi- plying at a satisfactory rate, There is hardly a decent sized bush any- where in the older sectioxo of the, Province, where there ire not a few of them. In spite of their rather conspicuous appearance they seem to be holding their own. Crows are reported to be destroying some of their eggs, and boys have been tempt- ed to shoot a few, but, generally speaking, these English visitors are increasing steadily. e.

U. S. MOTOR FATALITIES. Total is 22,500, With Nearly 2,000 at Level Crossing. Automobile fatalities in the United States for 1925 totalled 22,500, an increase of approximately 2,200 over 1924, according to the report of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. The results were3uearouofthe tabysasttiseticsit ymiodme Committee yttleme of the National Safety Council. The study shows that the number of automobile fatalities:' excluding collisions with street ears and rail- way trains, Increased from 17,600 in 1924 to 19,000 in 1925. The total of fatal automobile grade -crossing acci- dents mounted froru 1,688 in 1924 to 1,784 in 1225. The total registration of cars, the s9t;aidyittsh1o9w2si itnociiergaf 47 11n7,99;.c. Fatality rates on the basis of regis- trations have been decreasing for several years, but the rate for 1925 was Practically the same as that for 1924. Deaths of children under 15 years old continue to be one of the most serious aspects of the automobile accident situation, he report says. During 1926 it is estimated thst 6,300 children under 15 years were killed in automobile accidents, as compared with 6,090 in 1924. WANTED CALF FROM COW.

So they gave him a glass of milk and put .41 some of their best whisky. Next morning they could not find. the minister, and after a little search they found that he had gone to the byre, but he was not then when the searchers arrived.

This work was done at the request of 'thee City Council, and the report suggests, among other things, that municipal Council might make recommendations to the Provin- cial Legislature for amencllne the Municipal Act to increase the price of the permits granted to these paesirieg traders.
