we only its superficial aspects. Ike
knows future events, we only present
appearances, He knowe our true needs,
we our foolish desires. He knows our
life's mission, we our selfish aims." A
woman asked concerning a certain thing
said, "I am pleased with what God
pleases." "Yes, but if God should refer
it ,to you what would you . chooser
"Truly, if God were to refer it to me I'
would refer it to him again."
If. A. spirit of praise. "The children of
Judah ;Came" ((v. 0). Judah means
"praise." Grant says, "The spirit of
praise must have precedence of all :else
in the land of the inheritance of the peo-
ple of God, and will put us in possession,
most of oil of our inheritance there."
A. J. Gordon met an old man one day
going to the place of prayer. "Aged
friend," he said, "why should an old
111,111 be so merry and cheerful?" "All
are not," said he. "Well, then, why
should you be merry?" "Because I be-
long to the Lord." "Are none others
happy at your time of life?" "No, not
oue, my friendly questioner," said he;
and his form straightened into the stat-
ure of his younger days, and something
of inspiration glowed upon his counte-
nance. "Listen, please, to the truth
from one who knows; then wing it round
the world, and no man of three -score
anddten shall be found to gainsay it-
the'devil. has no happy old men."
711 A whole hearted spirit. That
Cale.) "wholly ' followed the Lord." is
{:price reeorded (vs. 8, 0, 14). "In obedi-
.enec to God's will, follow him universal-
ly without dividing; uprightly without
dissembling; cheerfully without disput-
ing.. end constantly without declining;
this Is following the Lord fully." Two
gentlemen were walking together one
dark night. One said to the other, who
knew the way, "1 shall follow you so as
to be right." He soon fell into a ditch
and reproached his friend that he had.
fallen. You did not follow me exactly,
for I kept free," was the answer. Then
tin man realized that it was a side step
that had caused his fall.
IV. A spirit of cheerfulness. "Four-
score and five years old" was this Caleb,
and yet "strong" (vs. 10, 11) . "I am on
the bright side of r,eventy," said a. dear
man of God; "the bright side, because
nearer to everlasting' glory." "My work
is done," said the Countess' of Hunting-
ton, at eighty-four, "I have nothing to
do but to go to my Father." It was re -
.marked to one, "I fear you are near
the other world." "Fear it, sir?" was the
quick reply, "I know 'I am; but blessed
be God, I do not fear it, I hope it" In
sad contrast to these was the remark
of a man of the world, when one ob-
served to him that his hair was sprinkled
with gray. "I wish you would not make
that remark," he said, "it ,puts me in
mind of growing old a subject of which
I cannot bear to think. I would rather
be the most miserable pack horse in this
wskrld than be an angel in heaven.
V. A spirit of vigor. "As my strength
was then, even. so Its odea strength now"
(v. 11). It is said of the great man
Moses that when he web an hundred and
twenty "his eye was not dim, nor his
natural force abated" (Dout. 34. 7). The
aged Elijah, after three years and a
half of famine, when he probably was
not well fed, could outrun the horses of
Ahab's chariot (1. Icings 18. 46). God's
promises for physical strength are as
sure of fulfilment as any others if wo
trust Him.. John Wesley, who lived in
the land of promise, preached on an aver-
age fifteen sermons a week. 'Set at the
age of seventy-three, lie writes, "I am
far abler to preach than when three and
twenty." Dr. Stevens says that at that
age his brow was emooth, hips oomplexion
ruddy, and his yoke strong and clear.
so that an audience of thirty thousand
could hear him without difficulty. This
vigor he himself ascribes, by the blessing
of God, to continual travel, early rising,
grad sleep and an even temper. }Ie
says, "I feel and grieve, but by the trace
of God I fret at nothing."
VL A spirit of heroism. "Thou heard-
est....how the Anakims were there, end
that the cities were great and fcnoed"
(v. 12) Caleb did not ask for a gam-
ftwtable valley, but for fortified, lotty
mountains. Caleb's inheritance at 1Ieb-
ron (v. 14) represents the highest bless-
ing and the hardest choice. Best things
cost. The devil will not contest ordinary,
level Christian living, but reaching u•p
after the mountain experience, we find
principalities powers, rulers of darkness
and wicked spirits all combined, to dice
Auto our advance (Eph, 0. 12). A godly
man tempted almost beyond enduranoe,
read this sentence in an old book, `The
best evidence that you are in God's will
is the' devil's growl." He thanked the
Lord for the devil're growl and went on
through sacrifice, self-denial and suffer-
ing to Make possession of his Hebron.
It was this man who wrote:
LESSON IV. -OCT, 27, 1907.
Caleb's Faithfulness Rewarded.: Josh.
14: 6-xs.
Commentary, --a, Caleb makes request
for his inheritance (vs. 0-9.) 6. Children
of Judah. -Judah was the fourth son of
Jacob. In Gilgal-This was the first
place where the Israelites camped after
crossing the Jordan into f•',anaan. Caleb
said -"Caleb was of the tribe of
Judah, and was appointed to assist in
making the division of the land. Lest
he might be charged with trying to
choose the best for himself, he brought
others of his brethren when he came be-
fore Joshua that they might be witness-
es to his justice. Caleb had been one of
the spies to go under Moses' direction to
spy out the land which he traversed in
his search (Dent. 1; 30.) Joshua was ac-
quainted with this fact, and Caleb
quotes that fact to him before the wit-
nesses, that it might stand as his mot-
ive in making bis plea for a certain por-
tion. Caleb came with his request be-
fore the lots were cast for the land. The
promise of God was sufficient and Caleb
would show that it would be in vain
and needless to try by lot to fix upon
his .portion in Canaan. All the people
seemed to fully consent that Hebron
wee the land intended for Caleb." Con-
cerning me and thee -Joshua was the
only other spy that was faithful and be-
lieving, and both were permitted to en-
ter Cocoon.
7. Forty years old was I -"The whole
circumstance was so clearly fixed iu his
mind that Caleb remembers his age, and
the place, so that lie can refresh Josh-
ua's memory. They were the two old-
est men in Israel at this time. A recol-
lection of old times would cheer them,
especially now that the promises nmd
to them were ready to be fulfilled."
Moses, ete.-Caleb manifested great re-
spect for Moses. In his character Moses
was "the man of God;' in his occupation
"the servant of the Lord," In mine
heart -He spoke his honest opinion in
the matter of which he was sent to
search out. He was not influenced by
fear or favor, but spoke the truth and
that only. 8. My brethren -Words of
tenderness for his old comrades. Heart
melt --'rhe other ten spies, by their
evil report of Canaan, influenced the
people to rubel against going in to pos-
sess the land, so that fear caused their
courage to fail, and they turned again
to wander in the wilderness. Wholly fol-
lowed the Lord -He had done his duty
and constantly aimed at the glory of
God. "Caleb is one of those men whom
we meet with eeidom in Bible history,
but whenever we do meet them we are
the better for the meeting. Bright and
brave, strong, modest and cheerful, there
Is honesty in his face, aourege and deci-
sion in the very pose of his body, and
the calm confidence of faith' in his very
look and attitude." Blltikie. 9. Moses
aware -Moses declared by authority
from God that Caleb should be reward-
ed (Num. xiv; 24; Dcut. i. 30).
II. Caleb is able to take possession of
his inheritance (vs. 10-12). 10. Kept me
alive Caleb had not only been brought
through the perils of the wilderness, but
he had been preserved from death in this
war of conquest. Length of years only
caused him to more deeply desire to be
perfectly obedient. 11. Yet I ani as
strong -Though eighty-five years old,
he felt as able to enter his possessions
that God gave him as when the promise
was first made. God would not appoint
him to a place and prolong his days and
then change because of his age. "All
our times are in his hands, all events
at his command," What though the
sons of old Anak were tall, and giants
• in strength! What though Hebron lay
in a mountainous region, he would go
gladly and confidently.
12. Give me this mountain -"Though
it was already his, by promise, he would
respect the position and authority of
Joshua, and have it granted him law-
fully." The Anakims-The giants. If
the Lord with me -"Though
it was the most difficult to overcome,
and he was old, yet he was strong in
faith as well as strong physically. The
only equipment he needed was G'od's con-
tinued presence, which he believed would
insure victory over giants and walled
cities. His faith for the overthrow of
those enemies had. only waxed stronger
since his first discovery of them, forty-
five years before. His truthfulness, piety
and 'faithfulness in former years had
grown, so that his relish was keen for
the battle."
III. Caleb receives his inheritance (vs.
13.15).
13. Joshua blessed Itirn He not only
admitted the claim, but. in a public and
earnest manner, prayed for the divine
blessing to assist the efforts of Caleb in
driving out the idolatrous occupants. --
J., F. & B. No doubt Joshua commended
Caleb for bis courage and piety, and
mentioned this singular provident as a
reward for his devoted life. Gave ....
Hebron -Thus Caleb came into posses-
sion of that very portion which he had
visited forty-five years before. 'The pro-
mise had been long delayed. 14. Unto
this day When this book was written.
15. Kirjath-arbaa-That is, the city Arba.
"It was called by both names for cen-
turies." Rest from war -"There was
no more .general war. There were after-
ward particular wars, arising from the
attempts of each trible to expel the an-
cient inhabitants still remaining in their
respective territories." -Bush.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
Those who dwell in Canaan have "un.
other spirit" from those who live in the
wilderness (Num. 14:24).
I A spirit of submission. "They di-
vided the land (v: 5). The people left
the choice of their possession to God
willing to take whatever he assigned
' them/. Lot chose his own inheritance,
and Suffered for it (Gens 13;11). "God

Matthews to Take His Time -- No
Snap Judgment, hie Says, in
Choosing From Varied Candi-
dates,
Chicago, Oct. 21. --Women affinity
seekers made a sox -t. of Mecca out of
N. H. Matthews' flat, 1,305 North Hal-
sted street, yesterday. Cupid awoke to
the realization, if he didn't already know
it, that "advertising pays."
After a strenuous day's work receiv-
ing callers and looking up a few candi-
dates living in: the immediate vicinity of
his home, Mr. Matthews looked cheerful
a.t night. He believed there was hope -
even foe a man with four small children.
In a modest sort of way Mr. Matthews
said he objected seriously to the amount
of notoriety that has followed the ap-
pearance of hie "Wife Wanted" sign in
the window of his flat, but acknowledged
that on account of it he has a "much
larger variety to (hoose from." He said
he couldn't estimate the exact number
of women who called.
"But I have the names and addresses
of all of them," he was' explaining, when
11 -year-old Iva spoke up:
"Why, I counted them, papa; there
were almost fifty."
"Did you make a choice? Did you
pick the one you would prefer for a
mamma?" the child was asked.
"Well, I don't believe I liked any of
them, but, of course, if papa should se-
lect one, I am sure we would all be sat-
isfied," Iva continued. "I did like the
nice, fat woman who said she lived in
Seminary avenue. She has two little
nieces just about my size. Some of the
callers couldn't hardly talk English. One
woman thought we were German, and
asked me if 1 didn't like sauerkraut. I
didn't like her. She was too slim."
Mr. Matthews was asked if he made
a choice.
"No, indeed," he replied. "This is too
serious a matter to jump at hastily. I
have certain ideals that 1 expect to be
fulfilled by the woman I choose to be
my wife, and one can't ascertain the qual-
ities of a woman on first sight. I ad-
vertised for a wife with the intention
of getting acquainted with women who
were matrimonially inclined. I am han-
dicapped both by my age and the fact
that I have four small children, but de-
spite that I think there are lots of estim-
able women looking for a good home
willing to consider 'ny proposition.
"To each of the Women who called to-
day I talked. in adl rartien1 manner,.
Without any besite. 'y I naked if they
were matrimonially ;iisposed, and with-
out exception' they told me that they
were. I didn't mean by that I was will-
ing to marry any one of them or that
any of them found in me the loan they
would like to make their husband. Those
things to resolve themselves."
Mr. Matthews was absent from home
until late. In the meantime Mr. Mat-
thews' oldest daughter, Mabel, who is a
school teacher, was in charge of the four
small children.
"I was greatly shocked to learn the
amount of notoriety papa, stirred up by
putting that sign in the window," she
said. "1 don't care to say a thing about
it. These women have been calling all
day: Surely they are nice, respectable
women, but nevertheless, I don't approve
of the method papa. took."
Mabel said she would remain at home
a few days this week and put the home
in order.
"It is a pity that papa can't find a.
housekeeper," she ventured. "Perhaps I
will give up my school and come back
to take care of things. I was surprised
to find the housekeeper we had last
week gone."
It developed that the "candidate" who
went on probation for four days, and
suddenly departed, was Mrs. Mary Fish-
er, housekeeper for a family at 3,244
Wabash avenue, seventh flat.
"I read Mr. Matthew's advertisement
in a newspaper," said Mrs. Fisher, who
is an elderly, robust appearing woman.
"It said four children, but to my sur-
prise when I get there.I found there
were seven, four small ones, the grown
daughter and two big boys. 1 felt sorry
for Mabel, the oldest girl; she had more
than her hands full. So I stayed four
days. until a week ago last• Saturday,
got things pretty well cleaned up, and
left.
"Mr. Matthews said the big boys in-
tend to go west." •
Mr. Matthews confided that the "net
proceeds" of the day was the selection
of a housekeeper, who perhaps will begin
work to -day.
".I have been deluged with letters and
matrimonial papers since this matter be-
came public," he said. "1 called this
evening on several 'of . the women who
wrote to me. I ample you some of the
women are surprisingly refined and well
educated. Some showed me their bank
books to prove they had means . 1 pay
no attention to the matrimonial. papers.
I think they are all fakes"
An embarrassing situation confronted
Mr. Matthews last nightwhen.he return-
ed from making several calls. our
women, one aeeompauied by a pretty 14 -
year -old daughter, ware awaiting his ar-
rival in the parlor. While waiting for
Mr. Matthews the women showed a 'pre-
tense of good will towards one another
and amused themselves playing with the
children.

Port Hope despatch: This was to use
the words of Dr. Rigby, the headmaster,
the greatest day in the history of Trin-
ity College School. For the first time
since it was established that institution•
was visited by a Governor-General of
Canada, and the occasion was marked
by demonstrations of loyalty and wel-
come which could scarcely have been
surpassed in the reception of royalty it-
self.

companied by members of the Town
Ccureil and the representatives of other
bodies, drove to Trinity College School,
where he was received by Dr. Rigby,
the headmaster, and several of the gov-
ernors. The interesting programme ar-
ranged for the occasion opened with a
service in the chapel. The service was,
