Jehovah... is... my strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? VIEWING THE PROMISED • LAND. And Jehovah said unto Moses. The question was whether the peo- ple would have faith enough to! go forward, weak as they were, trusting implicitly in their divine leader. It. is the question which, in one form or other, comes to every man in the course of his life. (Saying) Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. God will not have us 'start out with our eyes shut. He wants us to learn all we can about the way before us, knowing that the path is dark at the best. But, though we -are to venture into .a strange land, it is a land which he gives to us, provid- The elder brother of Moses stood next to him in the conduct of affairs, an, moreover, he was the high priest. And to all the congregation of the childrenof Israel. As the people bad originally moved for the expedition, the twelve explorers would make their report in some �gcneral : assembly. Unto the wilder- ness of Paran, to Kadesh. Tile peo- ple had evidently remained encamp- ed there during the, forty days' ab- sence of the spies. And brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and sihowed them' the 'fruit of the land. Every Christ- ian must keep in steady view the re- port which some day he must make to God, and so live as to give .a good account of his stewardship on the great day of finanl reckoning. And they told him. They made their report to Moses, and through him to the people, And said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us. Canaan, and especially the southern portions of it. And surely it floweth with milk and hon- ey. God has used the phrase in his first promise to Moses regarding the land. Ex. 3:8. And this is the fruit of it. Such are the words of every Christian in urging others; to enter. the Christian life with him. Howbeit. There is alwyas a "howbeit" to set over against every generous and brave underfhking. Some :objection to it can always be found. The peo- ple that dwell in the land are strong. Many men -perhaps most men -will not go up 'except against weaklings. Cowards always .see the obstacles in the way •as greater than they are. And moreover we saw the children of Anak there. The Anakim were a race of giants who lived in Hebron and other towns of the hill country of Canaan. ed only that we will take it. Of ev- ery tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince am- ong them. Our wise system of re- presentative government has its roots far back in•. the ,ages. These "princes" were not the heads of the tribes, for they would be too old for such an arduous expedition, but were active young men or strong nature men in prominent position. And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah. After their forty years of wandering in the wilderness, it was Kadesh which the Israelites made their rendezvous be- fore attempting Canaan by way of the land of Moab .and the crossing of the Jordan. All of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. Fenton translates it, "nobles, chiefs of the children of Israel. THE TWO REPORTS. And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. Twenty days northward, perhaps, and twenty days back again. And they went and came to Moses. Who had commissioned them, and to whom therefore, they would make their first report. And to Aaron.

And the Hittite. These Hittites, living in the hill country of Canaan, its central rocky ridge, were probably off -shoots of the main body of the Hittites, who "were a power- ful, non -Semitic, and probably non - Aryan people who made their ap- pearance about the beginning of the second millennium, B.C. 'in Asia Min- or. And the Jesbusite. This was a small tribe in possession of Jerusal- em. And the Ainorite dwell in the hill- country.. This tribe,, originating perhaps on the western shore of the Dead Sea, had by this time spread over the hill country of Canaan, and even to the east of the Jordan, and. were the most powerful of the Can- aanite tribes. And the Canaanite dwetlleth by the sea. By the Medi- terranean, occupying the coastal plain. And along by the side of the Jordan. Dwelling on the rich plains that fringed the deep valley of the Jordan, a region of tropical climate and luxuriance. And Caleb stilled the people be- fore tyloses. That Caleb alone is named here, whereas Joshua is else- where joined with him in the matter (as in Uum. 14: 6, 30), has been con- sidered strange; but it is not diffi- cult to supply a probable explana- tion. Joshua was the special compan- ion and minister of Moses, his alter ego in those things wherein he was employed: for that reason he may very well have given place to Caleb as a more impartial witness, and one more likely to be listened to in the present temper of the people; for it is evident from Deut. 1, that that temper had already declared itself for evil. And said, Let us go tip at on- ce, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. There is not now, ' and there never has been, and there never will be, a pian or woman who has not in them the ability, by God's help, to enter into a perfect Christian life. But the men that went up with him said, Weare not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. What a tiny hand- ful of followers of the Saviour found- ed the great Christian church which is overcoming the world! Ilove often it has been proved that one - with God is a majority; and still how we count heads! ply And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel. Let us leans, in all our forming of judg- ments, to look on all sides, and es- pecially ,on the heavenward side. Say- ing, The Land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a, land that eateth up the inhabitants there- of. Not by starvation or unhealthy condition, for that would be too pat- ent, a falsification of their own re- port e port just given, and illustrated by specimens of rich fruits; but the spies probably meant that Canaan was a country continually at war, the tribes of the land among themselves, and other tribes making incursions fr9x outside; 'There would be no Peaceful, dwelling there, And all the people that we saw. in it" are Teen of great stature. A lie. easily grows in the telling of it, Aird there we saw tate Nephilinn, 4 Th' w'.1nunin fokk 3 sure do look good in their frills of. to -day., baric how dye suppose they're gonna look in 1--h, old family aibmil. ten years n o,,, a /LOW- .p ..,., the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim, The exact meaning of the Hebrew word Nephilim is uncertain, and so it is left untranslated, with "giants," as the most probable con- jecture, in the margin. The Neph- ilim may have been some division of the Anakim, or the Anakim of the Nephilim. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers and so we were in their sight. It is a crime against others to be a discourager. FALL FAIR DATES • Arthur Atwood .._., Bayfield Blyth Brussels C _.....

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE Fire, which it is thought, was caus- ed by spontaneous combustion, des- troyed the barn, drive shed and hay stack on the fare of Wm, Kempton, two miles west of Lucknow, on Sun- day. Mr. and Mrs. Kempton, were away visiting in Ripley when the fire broke out, Neighbors noticing the smoke, rushed to the barn, released the cat- tle and tried te fight back the flames but it was an impossible task; how- ever, the house was saved. The only. implements lost were a wagon, sleigh and some small articles, as most of the implements were outside the buildings when the fire started. The fire which started about one o'clock Sunday afternoon, drew large crowds as the smoke could be seen for miles. The loss is partially covered by in- surance, Honey Production Figures A report recently compiled by the Bee Division of the Dominion De- I = partment of Agriculture estimates honey production for 1931 at 27,867,- 397 pounds, made up as follows: Province Lbs.

Mystery cruises, so popular out of New York, Southampton and Montreal, have cone to the Paci- fic Coast, being ushered in there by the trim little coastal liner "Princess Patricia," of the Cana- dian Pacific service, which took the first of these cruises recently. The ship had a full sailing list. The Canadian Open Golf Cham- pionship, third of the ace contests figuring yearly in the Royal and Ancient game, will be staged on the course of the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, next year, word to that effect having been receiv- ed by the secretary of the links from the Royal Canadian Golf Association. Seventy-seven per cent. of wheat and 63 per cent. of oats and barley in the three western provinces were harvested by Sep- tember 3, according to the report issued on that date from the gen- eral agricultural department, Can- adian Pacific Railway, Winnipeg. This result was reached in spite of the' halt in harvesting opera- tions d'ue to heavy rains in wide sections of the Prairie Provinces. All records for the story of the "big one that got away" were broken recently when a well- known fisherman hooked a beaver in Vermillion Lakes and played it for five minutes after which the tradition was fulfilled with loss of fly and leader. The hero of the exploit was S. C. Bennett, of Toronto, a guest at the Banff Springs Hotel. Canadians got a thrill recently when Captain J. A. Mollison, in- trepid trans-Atlantic solo flyer, spoke over the air, which he has conquered, from the Mayfair Lounge of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain. Cap- tain Mollison was heard on 34 radio stations from Halifax to Victoria over a network arranged by the Canadian Pacific Depart- ment of Communications. Loud speakers distributed the broadcast to 60,000 visitors at the big ex- hibition at Toronto. 865 Though the "Princess Royal," veteran of the Canadian Pacific Railway B. C. Coast steamship fleet has been scrapped and is now in the limbo of departed ships, her forecastle bell remains on the air at Ocean Falls, B.C., where it has been installed at the Ocean Falls United Church mis- sion, which ministers to the spiri- tual welfare of Japanese children. Official and unofficial delegates to the Imperial Economic Confer- ence went sightseeing from Aug- list 12th to the 14th.
