THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. --The -feast of tabernacles, October 11-18, A.D. 29, the third Year of Christ's public ministry. Place, -Jerusalem: TRUTH AND FREEDOM. After Christ's discourse on the Bread. of Life, which we studied last week, occurred a number of import- ant events in our Lord's life which John omitted because they were nar;' rated by Matthew, Mark and Luke. These were the journey toward Sid- on with the healing of the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman, the feeding of the four thousand, the giv- ing of sight to the blind man: at Beth- saida, Peter's confessionof faith, the transfiguration, the healing of the de- moniac , boy and several' discourses. Now we find Jesus at the feast of tabernacles in Jerusalem, where He delivered several glorious discourses which John has recorded. One of these, ori the Water of Life, is in chapter 7, which we are .omitting, Chapter 8, from which bur six verses are taken, discuss the great topics of, Christian truth, light and liberty. Jesus therefore said to the Jews that had- believed Him. The preced- ing verse tells us that "as He spake these things, many believed on Him." Note the significant . distinction be- tween those that believe on Jesus and Experts See No Future. for Heinp Productisrn Hemp, onee a profitable' crop in this country,has dwindled in Importance, and the vehicle through which it has lost its market was the prineip:it market In former years. It is esti maked that In the early colonial days It took the product of 1,000 aeryt of hemp to make the ropes necessary to outfit a single stifling veers l of any size, Now ships bring Jute from India and this importation, due to' its meet; few er price, has driven hemp from this market to a large extent. In spite .of this loss of market, glowing pictures of prosperity to he had from hero, growing are painted for fanners wile have had no experience with the crop Agents with something to sell tees' induced many fanners to erteoi;rr' crops, but little hope of success is held out by Department of Agrieut ture officials. who point .out Mist h' no means is the general run of i0ntt. suitable for hemp production. Even it It were, there still remains the fact that the demand for hemp is mor+ than filled by present sources, with the result that the prices are too lain to make a crop an attractive were.' tion financially for the grower.—1 'a :, lngton Star.

One of the finest monuments in London is the massive marble one in front, of Buckingham Palace facing The ?i+fall, to the memory of Queen Victoria. At its unveiling in 1907, i.tlon of the Psalm by. the 'Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D., sometimes,, and with some appropriateness styled The Fa- ther of English Hymnody. The title of his edition 'was "The Psalms of David imitated in the language of the New Testament," and it need. not therefore be expected that he would attempt to stick closely to the Letter or the originals. It was the spirit he intended to translate into Christian and modern terminology,. and although not by any means uni- formly successful, he did make some magnificent hymns out of the old Jewish Psalems, as for instance, "Je- sus shall reign where'er the sun,", from Psalm 72, "Lord"of the worlds above," from Psalm 84, "Give to our God immortal praise," from Psalm 136, but finest of all: —"Our God, our help in ages past,"from Psalm 90, dogs delight to bark and bit." The well-known tune St. Anne, a model of what a cong>;egational hymn -tune `should be, was one of several, among them "Hanover,'` "Eatington (Let saints on earth in concert sing) and "St,' Matthew," for ,which we are indebted to Dr, Wm. Croft, a celebrated composer of cath- edral music, who lived from 1677 to 1727, and. was therefore a contemp- orary of Isaac Watts. Dr. Croft was the organist of Westminster. Abbey, ari'd published several books on mus- ical subjects, one of them Musica Sa- cra being engraved on pewter plates, the first known publication from ,en- graved metal in that form. Accord- ing to old records,: Dr. Croft found the first line of our tune, we are not, told where, and;added the other three lines. St. Ann:; was set with new harmonies to, "The Son of God It was John Wesley, an incorrig goes forth to war," by Sir Arthur men's hymns, I Sullian, and for many years has been ibie amender of other Y accepted as the proper tune for although no' one protested more ve watts' version of the nintieth Psalm. hemently against' any alteration in e 1 ns of his collections, who al= thhymns tered the first word from."our" to "0" improving it into ,a. powerful Prayer by that touch. There were nine verses in Watts' version of the first part of Psalm 90, but' the six in ordinary use represent by far the best of them. Another of Watts' hyinns, "When I survey' the wond- rous cross," is of probably equal val- ue in most opinions as is this hymn. Isaac Watts was born at South- ampton in 1674, the son of an Inde pendent Minister, at that time in pri- son on account of his religious prin- many of the good Q•ueen's grand- t ciples, being in conflict with the then children stood with King Edward, i existing law of the land.
