God's Covenant With Abram. -Gen, xv,
It 5-X6,
Oommentary I, God's covenant with
,Abram (vs, ,a5). ..1. After these things
-The fact that immediately after the
battle with the kings there came another
vision from God to Abram leads us to
think that he may have been passing
through a testing time, and perhaps lie
evas tempted to discouragement Abram
had made. a; long, rapid journey and was
weary. He was also disappointed in not
a. receiving the fulfillment of the promise
God had made him regarding his de-
scendants, for as yet he had no child.
In a vision -Which supposes Abram

' sensible token of the presence of the di-
vine glory. -Henry. Fear not--1?ear

promises fail thee. I am thy shield-

1 23).--C. H. M. Great reward-"Tlw re-
ward shall be exceeding great." "There
is surely a reference here to the battle
and the victory. 1 shielded thee in the
. battle and rewarded thee in the victory"
-Candlish. When God is ours we have
all that is sufficient for defence and re-
ward; this promise involves eternal life,
-Murphy. In verses 2-4 Abram calls at-
tention to the fact that he had no heir.
He ,greatly desired a son, for he knew
upon divine authority that his seed
should inherit the land; he accordingly
asked if one born in his house should
be his heir, whereupin the Lard. again
assured him that even in his old age he
should have a son. 5. Look...tell the
stars -"The stars in that climate are

says he has known Venus to shine so
bright as to cast a shadow. Brighter

to Abram. Whenever he might be tempt-
ed to doubt or discouragement he had
oniy to look up at the heavens and be-
fore him was a constant reminder of
God's great promise. To us the stare
are a sign of another promise; "They
that be wise shall shine as the brightness
of the firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness, as the stars for-
ever and ever" (Dan. aii. 3). So shall
thy seed be -The descendants of Abra-
ham included not only Israelites, but the
Arabians, the Mid.ianites, the Ammonites
and Moabites were a numerous people,
and were for more than a thousand
years among the most important in Asia..
i At least two branches of this strong
stock wet remain -.the Jews, who are
found an every part .ef the earth, and
I the Ara s who still roc unconquered

the
f highest fulfillment was hi Christ. •God's
people are, by faith, "children df Abra-
ham," and "heirs according to the prom -
I Ise" Gal, iii. 7, 9, 29).
I11. Abram's great faith {v. 6). 6. He
believed -"God speaks -Abram believes,
and all is settled and all is sure." Abram
believed the truth of that promise that
was now made him, resting upon the
Mower and faithfulness of God who had
made it. See Rom. iv. 19-21. "He is
Iandless and childless, yet in the word.
of Jehovah he has land and seed," It is
a 'very rare thing for a person even in
the Christian church to fully believe in
the Lord. A real and ungeustioning be-
liever is a rarity anywhere. There are
a great many Christians who believe in
euterurise and hard work, who believe
in prudence and good sense, who believe
in well -invested capital, who believe iu
knowledge, who believe in wise training,
w1;3 believe in importunities and eircum-
atanees, and who at the same time admit
that back of these and over them all is
the' Lord. But there are not so nIa.ny
who believe in the Lord as apart from
and in no way dependent on these
, agencies. Abram believed in God when,

! Melees; Were not possible of fulfilment

God's 'simple word is stamped as rights-
,, oneness, because such faith is the root
of all virtues, it is the central source of
„the godly life, without which all out-
ward works are as plants having no
root. --Newhall. "His faith itself was
not his righteousness, but it brought him
iinto connection with the righteousness of

ALL SICK WOMEN
SHOULD READ MISS SCHWALM'S LETTER
In Ali Parts of Canada Lydia 1?. Phsehamee
Vegetable Compound Has effected Similes
Cures.
Many wonderful, cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought .about by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Masa, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
The present ii'Irs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made a study of the
ills of her sex; she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women; who to -day owe not only their
health but even life to her helpful advice.
Miss Annie E. Schwalm, of 826 Spa-
ding Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes:
Dear Mrs. linkham
"I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound a s ecifie for female weak-
ness with which I have been troubled for
years. I also had irregular and painful
periods which affected my -general health
until last spring. I was only a wreck of
my former self. In my affliction I was ad-
vised to use your Compound and am so
glad that I did so. I found that in a few
short months there was no trace of female
weakness, my strength gradually returned
and in a very short time I considered
myself a perfectly well woman. I appre-
ciate my good health and beg to assureyou
that I am most grateful to you for discover-
ing such a wonderful remedy for suffering
woman."
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Com-
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She asks nothing in return
for her advice. It is absolutely free, and
to thousands of women has proved to les
do -day. There were no really prime beeves j •••

slow nnd uncertain, Country retail trade
has also been affected. Wherever possible
tbcre ie a geed demand for goods and it
may be supposed that when the roads are
once again clear business will be all the
more brisk on account 0f the temporary sus-

The following list gives the names ef
a number of these, which are now offer-
ed
ffer
ed for ro-operative testing. One of the •
objects of this co-operative testing is to
distribute these leading varieties more
widely that they may be tested in evert-
township
very
township of the Province and that each
grower may select for himeelf and grow
more extensively those which give the
best results on this own farm. Over 2.-
000
:
000 experimenters are already engaged
in tlmis work and are profiting because of
AS practical and educational value. The
co-operation of all who are interested in
fruit growing is invited.
Any resident of the Province who
wishes to take part in this work may
select any one of the experiments in
the list, and the plants for the same will
he furnished free of cost. All we require
is that. each applicant must promise
that he will try to follow the directions
each year on forms which will be furn-
ished 4 for the purpose. The experiment
selected should be indicated by giving
