Golden Teat: Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth. (I. Samuel, 3:9). Mae than once, in God's special plans for His chesen people Israel when he needed to raise up a man for a distinctive purpose He made his very birth a miracle. There has been but one virgin birth: when the only Son of God became man. But the birth of Isaac, a type of Christ, who was vital to God's plan a call- ing out a peculiar people to whom should be entrusted His oracles and the evangelization of the world, was miraculous. Isaac was born to Sarah after she was ninety years of age and had been barren all her life. Again, nineteen ceturies lame when God would raise up the last of the prophets of the old demon- sation, He wrought another 'miracle in a righteous woman Elizabeth, who was barren and old, and john the Baptist was born. The birth of Samuel, the laet of the Judges and the first of the writ- ing prophets, was similar. Hannah, the wife of Elkanab, sorrowed great- ly because he bad no child. One day she went to the temple and pour- ed out her soul in hitterneso and weeping unto the Lord. She made a vow, telling the Lord that if Tie would give her a man -chill he in turn would give that child "unto the Lord all the days of his lite," as one set apart unte the Lord's service. In due time the miracle was wrought, a baby boy was born and she called him Samuel, which means "Asked or God." Hannah kept her vow. When he was weaned she brought the little child to the Lore's House, eonimitted him to the care of Eli, and gave him outright to the Lord, as long as he should live. Mothers who dedicate their boys to the Lord are not limited to Bible Ones. Countless mothers have done this since Hannah's time, and have rejoiced to see God take, and use, and keep the son dedicatee te service. I/ it were done oftener to- day, the "youth problem" would be less of a problem. A striking con- trast is brought out three times in these lesson chapters. The old priest Eli had two sons who were recklessly wicked. They were filling the office of pries:, but were making it serve their own inter- ests. They blasphemously ignored and broke God's law in the ceremony of animal sacrifice and. they were openly immoral. After the first men- tion of the corruptness of these two men, the Scripture immedlateW men- tions Samuel's boyish but true ser- vice of the Lord. "Wherefore the sin of the young inen was very great before the Lord, for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. But Samuel ministere3 before the Lord, being a child, girded with with a linen ephod" (2: 17-18). A little later we read that the agel father of the young men plead- ed with them to stop their sinning. "Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father. . . . And the child, Samuel, grew on, and was in favor both with the Lord, and also with men" (2: 25, 26). At the end of the same chapter a man of God predicts the eoming judgment upon Eli's two sons for their :sin, and upon the whole house of len because he had not dealt with his sons as he should; this is follow- ed by the record: "And the child Samuel) ministered unto the Lerd be - fete Eli." This triple antithesis be- tween the sin of the two young men and the righteousness of the little boy is plainly intentional. We sometimes mistakenly think that in Bible Hones God conenuelly spoke to His people in supernatural communication. Yet there were long periods in which there was no such open communication from the, Lord, and this was one of these tirnes. for we react: "And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; thee(' was no open Vision" (3:1). This makes what followed the more re- markable. God spoke to thie boy by His dir- ect, audible voice. Night had fallen; the, old' man Eli "was laid down to sleep," when "the Lord called Sam- uel." At once the little fellow ran to Eli, saying: "Here am I; foe thou callest me." Eli explained that he had not called, the boy -lay down again, and twice the call was repeat- ed. After the third tine Eltcame to his senses, and told Samuel that if the call came again he shout::: an- swer, "Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heateth." Again the call came, the boy an- swered the Lord, and then God en- OMPIALSablOS....M.00NVEMOTTIIMM.0) DIUM=.3.111,61=25i1r37mIlriated.6919.4,..MISI41.99,1 vMVO...0====.nan...auumaencluaastaxamsuu,,,.....10arsedmantsamar=o1 410// 7 he Season of Christmas Cheer SpEcials foe Boo ogi 011 ing larriond Wangs We are putting on sale our en- tire stock.

Both oil and gas have been encountered but the drill- ers are prepared to go 13,000 feet.

He has just sold teeton of thernt Oen" !listing of 100 mangele, averaging 20 pounds apiece. ' Toronto.—The first shiprnent of foxes from this point to the United Kingdom, valued at $10,000, has left recently via the Canadian Pacific Express. There were 15 foxes in all including the International 13.66 champion and grand championeof the 1925 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, valued at $4,500. Serious consideration to the con- servation of big and small game in the United States is being given by members of game and fish pro- tective organizations in various states who are holding the thirteenth National Gallle Conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania, in Nev York city, December 6th and Ith. Quebec.—Estimates of the cutting of timber for the season 1926-27 which runs from the. latter part of August to the end of April, as com- piled by experts here, are the the cut will be from 15 to 20 per cent. over last year's. In other words this season's cut will run to about 2,000,000,0000 feet of timber. Discharging over 1,500 third class passengers at Quebec, reeently, the S.S. "Iqontealm" and "Empress of Scotland" brought the immigration season on the St. Lawrence for the Canadian Pacific Steamships to a close. In the 74 Summer sailings, vessels of the fleet brought 40,000 immigrants to Canada, compared with 28,841 from 80 sailings in 1925 and 39,479 from 93 sailings in 1924, The average carrying per vessel in 1926 was 549, in 1925, 360, and in 1024, 424. The big game season now nearing its cloee. in the Lake Windermere region has been an unusually suc- cessful one. Parties from the mid- dle western States have been numer- ous this year and their "luck has been in." The nearness of those splendid breeding grounds, the Rocky Mountain Parks and the Provincial Game Preserves, has been a factor. Beaver trapping is OTICt again an active industry, with recent restrictions removed. Many licenses have been taken out, each licensee beiolg allotted a certain de- finer! area. Emmanuel B. de la Giroclay,' a native of Meturitius, who bas been resident in Canada since 1908, has the official sanction of the Maurie ties Government to make the neces- sary arrangements with the Gov- ernment of Britieh Columbia for the establishment of a farm colony in the Pacific coed province, according to report. "There are a few thou- sand people of Fmglish and Enamel descent in Mauritiu's who would be in a position to emigrate to Canada if a imitable agricultural colony were found," he says. He is busy on le scheme for such a colony in the Fraser Valley where Iruit and mixed farming would be engaged In, As a result; of discussions at the Imperial Conferenee in London the cheap passage scheme under which British immigrants have been pro- ceeding to Canada during the year is expected to be renewed. The mot important result of the confer- ence, however, will probably be the extension oe the scheme of training prospective British inunigrante for Dominion farms end, inatead of the 100 men eceured by Canada in this maimer this year, it is expeeted that with the broedening of the scheme from 1,20(fr to 1,500 men will be obe tatted next year. A new ten week' course in simple farm training will be introduced and will run cement.. rently with the foul' menthe' eouree already in opetation. ••••==•••=pn•••••••••••••••••••••••••MNAM1011• eeeeeetelelnegee..444.41±11+1144+404-44. • WANTED f • Highest mnrket prices paid. ▪ tiee me or Phone No. 2x, Hi us- • eels, End 1 0;111 eell and get you., Hides. 1.

WRECK OF THE LAURENTIC Details of the heroic efforts—ex- tending over seven years—which re- sulted in the recovery of more than .e5,000,000, mostly in goll bars, from the, wreck of the liner Lauren - tie, have recently been publosheee The Laurentic was sunk by a mine off Lough Swilly in January, 1017, and the salvage of the bullion, which was urgently needed at the time, was entrusted to Commander G. C. C. Daman, R. N. The vessel lay in 120 feet of water, and on IVIaren 14th of that year the first box of five gold bars was gent to the surface, "It looked," as Damant said, "as if a few weeks would see a job done whieh actually spread itself 0V0l: 50V - ell weary years." Gales sprang up, and down below the action of the water- was such that decks were pil- ed on decks. The whole ship eras found, when examination was possi- ble, to have been shut un like a eoncertena. The heavy gold had made its way down to the lowest depths of the sea. floor. The prob- lem was no longer one of removing gold boxes, for the once 1)1`0111.1 Lame entic had ceased to be a ship. Sloe was just, a litter of crushed and tan- gled metal sprayed about on the sea floor, and the gold ban, escaping in their wooden boxes, were ne longer in one closed sealed room, lent in 3,- 000 pockets wherever they heel fall- en or crept. At every gale the At- lantic swell churned and broke the tangled mass of steel more and more and redistributed the e;old hidden within it and beneath it. Seeing that he could no longe' re - 1110V0 the gold in bulk from the wreck, Commander Dement had to contemplate the removal of the wreck from tloo gold by cutting right dewn through it and clearing a way to the bottom of it, and the piec- ing up the gold bar by bar. This was abcomplished, and by the end of August, 642 bars, valued at about £920,000, had been brought up. The Pocket of gold exhausted Itself ill 1919. Winter gales followed. The two succeeding years woro almost blank as regards gold. By the end of 1921 so much of the wreck's structure had been blown away and brought to the surface tbat the se- vers had bureowed right through the ship from top to bottom as sloe lay, and reduced the steel scrap heap to O semblance of cinder. In the spring of 1922, when the first diva went down, he actually saw a limber of gold bars sticking up out of the and. Powerful hose pipes were used hy the divers, who could thus drive a -way sand and stones with the nozzle in one hand, while with the other they felt for the gold. By September, 1924, when the opera- tions muted, all but twenty-tive of the bars had been accounted for. It was as if Comaninder Dement had flung Father Neptune a consolatory poutboire of 442,500, after dragging .45,416,000 out of his grip, As to the transport of the gold to Lotclon, when a quarter of a million or 00 had accumulated in a destroyer, ar- e rangements would be made for the vessel to run over to a convenient port, where Et representative of the Bunk of England would appear with lorries and take it off the train, '!'" el. eite ete ete s'n etre e".e • "P.
