AND NATIONS, ROM. 1; 14,
INTRODUC3IOil—We',. have, in the
-Bile, some interesting examle3 of
frienly .ntrcourse and neighborliness
between people of. different races or
nations. Such are Abraham's relations
with Hittite communities in southern
Palestine' (Gen, 14: 13) the cordial
welcome' given Jacob and his sons by
the king of ,Egypt (Gen. 47: 1-10),
Moses with the Mtdianites (Exod. 2:
15-21), David among thePhilistines
-(1 Sam, 27: 1-7), David and Solomon
.and the .ting of Tyre (1 Kings 5:.1-7).
It is troethat there are many wars in
Bible history, but there are also some
fright instances international
of riendlinese. It will be remembered
that Jeremiah ocnnseled submission to
Babylon,: and spoke well of the king,
Nebuchadnezzar, chap. 27: 1-12. He
:even advised the Jewish captives to
nettle down peaceably, and to ntale
holpes for themselves in Babylonia,
shying, "Seek the peace of the city
.whither I have caused you to be car-
ried away captives, and pray unto the
Lord for it: ter in the peace thereof
ye shall' have. pease" (chap. 29: 4-7)—
good advice for exiles of every age.
I. AN INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP,
Ruth 1: 1•18.
The family of Elintelech had been
hospitably received in Moab, just
across the JordalLvalley to the east-
ward. he sons married women of
Moab. Apparently they werenotin=
gluenced by the bitter terms of the law
against foreigners in Deut. 23: 3, if
such a law was in existence at that
time, and they quite evidently knew
nothing of the stein measures taken'.
against 'nixed marriages by Ezra and
Nehemiah in the fiffh century B.C. •
The story centres it Rttth, the Boab-
i8tess, whose warm affection for her
znother-in-law Naomi, leads her to
forsake her own homeland, and to re-
tors with Naomi to Bethlehem in
Judah. It is quite possible that she
was influenced by the superior purity
and dignity of Naotni's religion as well
as by her personal character, In the
sequel Naomi persuades her to claim
from her dead husband's near kins-
nian'the right of levitate marriage, a
right ordinarily admitted only in the
case of Jewish women, see Deut. 25:
5-10, And so Ruth,. the woman of
Moab, becomes the wife of • Boaz, of
Bethlehem, and great-grandmother of
David, the king of Israel,
II. OVERCOMING NATIONAL PREJUDICE
AND ILL WILL, John 4: 5-10; Acts
10: 1 to 11: 18; Gal, 3: 28, 29.
The Jews have no dealings with the
Samaritans. The Samaritans were a'
:Hied race, descendants of the few peo-
ple of Israel who were left after the
fall of that•kingdom,, and•the carrying
off of many captives by the Assyrians
in B.C. 722, and the strangers from
eastern and northern countries who
were brought and settled there with
them, 2 Kings, chap. 17. In religion
as well as race they were a mongrel
people. combinisg the worship of Je-
hovah with that of other gods, and
with gross superstitions. They had
askedtobe permitted to share with
the returned Jews in the building of
the second temple, but had been re-
fused, Ezra 4: 1-3. Henceforward
they were enemies. The climax was
reached in B.C. 432, when Nehemiah
drove from Jerusalem a man of high
riestly rank, who -had married the
daughter of a Samaritan noble, Neh.
18: 28.. This man fled to his father -
lin -law in Samaria, and either then or
within the following century a temple
was built in Samaritan territory on
Mount Gerizim, which became a rival
bf the temple in Jerusalem.
In the story told in chap. 4 of the
Gospel according , to John, Jesus is
ween overstep' ing the bounds of Jew-
ish prejudice, talking freely with a
Samaritan woman, and visiting and
preaching to the people of tike Samar-
itan town of Sychar. Compare Acts
8: 5, 6, 25.
11 was not easy to breakdown the
prejudices' of the disciples of Jesus
against any kind of free intercourse
with people of other races. The story.
of Peters visit to the Roman cen-
turion is a good illustration of Allis.
!Cornelius, a centurion, a devout. man,
has had a vision '4 which'lfe,hae iteen

Britain and Russia
Viscount Brentford in The Sunday
Times (Cons.). Mr. Henderson is—
like all the Socialist Party—au ad-
vocate of open diplomacy. Surely it
is time that he took his fellow -coon
trymen into his confidence. True,
he tells us that this agreement which
lie has signed will bring the two coun-
tries together, but on what terms?
What has he promised his Russian
friend? After all, it is not closer
contact we want, but cleaner contact.
We want to know, before we come In-
to that happy friendship with Russia
which Mr. Henderson foreshadows,
that we shall find Russia with a
changed heart—no longer the apostle
of revolution in the world in general
and in our Empire in particular.
Courage
On the thin plank of cottrage I
Walk with slow steps, and fearfully,
Across the unspeakable abyss,
And dare not look that way or this
Lest the uufathomed depths should
show
The things I am afraid to know;
Lest on n1y downcast eye there
gleams
The phosphorescent stuff of dreams,
Or, trembling in the misty air,
Grim shapes of terror and despair.
And ever as I go I hear
The jealous waves of doubt and fear
Stretching with many -fingered spray
To snatch me tram my narrow way,
And drag into their angry sea
My half-inch of security,
God grant it fail not till I feel
The solid earth beneath my heel.
—J .J. Mills in the Observer.
The "life" of an average motor -car
is six years and nine months.
It is not what happens to you in
life that matters; it is the way in
which you face it.
Air and Ventilation
It Itas long been, known that air can
bo polluted in euclt a manner as to be
lnlut'loue. For many years, is was
thought that Oils pollution was due
to ap mese of carbonic acid gas, but
it is now understood that, in an ordin-
arY occupied room, the amount of
this. gas is not harmful, nor is there
a sufficient reductlou of oxygen
brought about to acount for the ef-
fects of bad air.
la the early YEW'S of this century,
it was proven by experiments that
the symptoms caused by living in so,
galled bad or vitiates air are due to
the temperature of the air, its meal -
tare and its stillness. In other words,
conditions of the air which do not
favor the loss of heat front the body
are the conditions which cause the
ill effects of bad air, The body le
ooustantly generating heat and if the
person is to be comfortable and Rt,
the surplus heat must be got rid of;
The skin Is the means for getting rid
of exessive body heat. When the body
is surrounded by hot, humid, still air,
it ie difficult or impossible for the
akin to eliminate as it should, and, as
a result, there is discomfort, and,
later, if the condition persists, there
will be headache, shortness of breath
and an increased pulse rate and tent-
peratul'e. W know, form common experience,'
hot much more comfortable we are
on the warm clays when there is a
breeze as compared with the way we
feel when the day is hot and still.
To secure comfort and fitness, we
should live in an atmosphere of cool
air whip is in gentle motion, and the
object of ventilation is to maintain
such au atmosphere. This can usual•
ly be accomplished in a satisfactory
way by having a thermometer in the
room and by opening the window. Ai
considerable amount of the ill -health
that occurs in winter is due to the 1
lowered efficiency 02 the body which
follows upon living aid working in
overheated places, The body is toned
up by cool air and upset by overheat-
ed still air.

Empire Trade
The Standard, Nairobi, British East
Africa: Those whose primary attitude
to the British Empire is one of pessi•
mism will experience a new hope and
a great pride if they read the annual
report of the Empire Marketing
Board. The report provides a picture
of Imperial economic progress, pros-
perity, courage and faith fascinating
and inspiring in the vividness of its
simplicity. In a survey of the posi-
tion during the last thirty years we
find that every one of -the great Do-
minions an some of the colonies have
advanced from relatively modest posi-
tions into that of great and important,
contributions to and purchaser's in the
markets of the world. Since the be-
ginning of the present century there
have been phenomenal increases in
the exports of raw and manufactured
products. In the words of the report,
"the tide of Empire trade is flowing
strongly." Britain has moved away
from the stage in its political thought
when "Imperialism" was a sneer and
a reproach in public life. To -day each
party strives to outbid the other in
attention to Empire development and
there is a growing body of public
opinion which favors the withdrawal
of Britain from her international en-
tanglements in order that every ounce
of the nation's strength may be con-
centrated on the development of the
Empire as a unit within itself.

There are only three links • missing

Until tate gaPs north of Lake Su-

and -through the Rocky Mountains are
completed, it will stilt be necessary
for the trans -Canada motorist to jour-

Links to Cost Millions
Agitation for completion of the road
is growing, but the few hundred miles
to be built run throtigh a territory
where tons of dynamite must be used
before motorists will have a path.
Tite missing links will cost millions
but will mean an immediate return of
millions in extra tourist revenue. The
i Lake Superior country, the territory
from Fort William to the Manitoba
boundary and the Rocky, Mountains
offer poasibitities for creating the
finest scenic highways yet construct-
ed in the dominion.
The gaps are gradually being closed,
The Ferguson Highway, opened three
years ago, pierces the northern On-
tario wilderness for hundreds of miles,
From North Bay the Trans -Canada has
completed the 280 miles to Sault Ste.
Marie. From here the motorist cross-
es into the States though the road is
opened for nearly eighty mites north
of the Sault.

In the centreof the long gap from
the Sault to Manitoba a stretch of
highway is completed on both sides of
Fort William and Port Arthur•and is
being' pushed gradually westward'.
along the old Dawson Trail. Itt Bri-
tish Columbia the Cariboo Trail has
passed through one • range of moun-
tains, but the main Rockies 'remain
to be crossed.
• It is the wild country that provides
the real attraction for the tourist. Its
lure draws motorists from the
smoothly paved highways of the south
1 to the twisting, turning washboard
gravel that represents the pioneer
stage of road construction in the
north.
Within five years it is expected that
the Trans -Canada -will be -• complete
across Ontario. Most of it will be
paved. By that time many stretches
will be strengthened..
In the north it is still possible t0
almost forget hot dog stain's. Forty
miles between gas stations is not un-
common. But there are beautiful
lakes every few miles and stretches
of giant red pine border the highway,
It le the ideal land for the motor
camper. Forest rangers are clearing
camps at convenient spots on the
Trans -Canada and have already clear-
ed scores of sites on the Ferguson
highway through the Temagami re-
serve.
It will be late next year before the
Trans -Canada taps what is believed to
be Eastern Canada's most rugged
scenery. Pushing north from the
Saint the road is almost on the edge
of the canyons and semi -mountains 'of
northern Algoma. The Algoma Cen-
tral Railway alone taps this territory
at present and few tourists and al-
most as few Canadians have discover-
ed its raged beauty.
It was this section of Algoma and
the northern shore of Lake Superior
that almost halted the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway fifty years ago in its at-
tempt to span the dominion with steel.
The hills are solid rock and in the
rock is low grade iron ore, millions of
tons of it, waiting for development.
Difficulties ahead in this section
have caused some agitation to change
the route and have the road go
straight north along the Ferguson
Highway to Cochrane and them west,
following the National Transconti-
nental Railway. The cost of this
route world be less, but the scenic
grandeur of Algoma would be lost.—

Care of the Teeth
Witch coneidorillg tike .airs of the
teeth, remember the paint associa-
tion's alogau—"Save the r.r,irfaoe and
you "
Natsave iILaro provides us w:ih a very
valuable set •of instruments for the
ptirposo of grinding our food into
small morsels, ready to pass into the
stptnaoit. If our teeth are not as
strong and ltoalthy as they should be,
the food will not be prepared aitd our
stomach will always be .worked too
Bard •and. evoutually will give us end-
less trouble, On the other hand if
our teeth are dirty,' the food will rub
off some of the dirt and will carry it
into our systems, la other words,
neglecting to glean the teeth thor-
oughly ,is lust one form of taking
poison:
A tooth is divided into two parts,
called the crown and ti10 roat. The
crovin is the wide part which we can
see, attd has a hard covering called
enamel, The, root is the narrower,
petaled part which is in the gums and
bas a cover which is called comentutu.
Beneath the enamel and cementum
in the tooth is a layer, not unlike
bone, which is called doutine. The ,
centro of the tooth is called the pulp
chamber and contains blood vessels
and nerves,
It is a clean tooth that never aches.
The first thing that happens to a tooth
which IA .heading for trouble is that
dirt collecta on the outside of the
tooth. Unless that dirt is removed It
will start decay and work into the
centre of the' tooth. The decay cute
through the enamel and into the den-
tine. . Because the dentine is softer,
the docaY always spreads la the den•
tine so that there is more decay inside
the tooth than there is on the out-
side.
A dentist, if he knows about it in
time, can prevent further trouble. He
can easily find the little holes with his
explorer, eta away tate decayed part
and fill the hole. It is a very simple
thing to do, when the decay Is just
starting, but sometimes it becomes a
very difficult and .expensive thing to
do because people delay too long in
going to see the dvatiet.
•If She tooth'is not filled right away, .
the enamel wilt gradually break down
and:the hole will become large enough
to collect food, which rots and causes
toothache. Hero are some of the
troubles that can come as well as the
toothache: rehumatism, neuritis, neur-
algia, headache, heart trouble, abs-
cess, skin troubles, ,colds and boils
and nervous troubles. And it will pay
—pay more than enough to compere.
sate you for your trouble—if good
care is taken of your teeth in between
visits to the dentist.
The most important thing you can
.do is to brush Your teeth regularly
.alter each meat and before going to
bed. The business of brushing: the
teeth thoroughly takes two minutes.
The tooth brush should be small,
for a small tooth brush can be
moved around more easily and
more rapidly than a large one.
Brushing should be light and rapid
and it should be borne in mind that
there are five sides to each tooth to be
brushed. There is the outside—near-
est the cheek, the inside—nearest the
tongue, the top—that surface that
cuts the food and the two sides be-
tween the teeth.
The tooth brush should move in
circles, on the outside of the gums
and teeth. Do not forget the gums,
because they must be brushed too.
The circulation of the blood in the
gums is a matter of supreme import-
ance to the health of the teeth. Brush
them softly, but thoroughly. If you
should have any trouble with bleeding
Moats, it is advisable to go the den-
tist at once.
Count the number of strokes whiclt
you take when brushing the teeth.
Iviove the brush around in a circle on
the outside of the teeth and gums six-
teen tines for each side and front,
making two strokes of the brush for
eachcount you make. Brush the in-
side of the teeth—that is, the surface
toward the tongue—by moving the
brush straight in and put. This is al-
so the way to brush the tops, that is,
the part that grinds the food.
One of the most healthful habits af-
ter you have brushed your teeth to
rho morning is to rinse them with
lime water. The lime water should
be kept in the mouth for about a min-
ute and then forced out between the
teeth.

on The Hague Conference and the
methods followed there: "France ap-
pears to have been very badly inform-
ed as to the policies of England and
Germany. Thie has brought to light
one of the defects of French foreign
policy—not to take the trouble to be
well-informed, to neglect the iridis'
ponsable preparation of big negotia-
tions, and to trust entirely to the im-
provising powers of leaders. . .
The Hague Conference has brought
out a political fact which should not
