A writer in The Expositor's Bible says that "The days of Herod" were the Hebrew midnight, but they gave us the Bright and Morning Star. Upon the throne of David sat Herod, the king of Judaea, and Gentile hordes aver -ran the Holy Land. At this time there resided in one of the priestly cities of the hill -country of Judaea, a certain priest named Zach- arias. He was a descendant of Aar- on, and his wife, too, was of the same lineage; and 'besides being "of the daughters of Aaron" she bore the name of their ancestral mother, "Eli- zabeth." Like Abraham and Sarah, they were both . well advanced in years, and childless. But if they were not allowed, to look forward to their children's children with all their earthly relationships they made up for this lack by cultivating the hea- venly; for we read, "And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordin- ances of the Lord blameless." The Rev. 'Henry Burton, M.A., in writing on this incident says: "It is the autumn service for the course of Abia, and Zacharias proceeds to Jer- usalem, to perform whatever part of the service the lot may assign to him. The lot proves to be the covet- ed distinction — which could only come once in a life -time --of burning incense in the Holy Place. At a giv- en signal, between the slaying and the offering of the lamb, Zacharias, barefooted and robed in white, passes up the steps, accompanied by two assistants, one bearing a golde,i cen- ser, containing half a pound of the sweet smelling incense, the other bearing a golden vessel of 'burning coals taken from the altar. Slowly and reverently they pass within the Holy Place, which none but the Le- vites are permitted to enter; and hav- ing arranged the incense and spread the five coals upon .the altar, the as- sistants retire, leaving Zacharias alone. Then it was that "there ap- peered unto him, an angel of the Lori standing on the right side of the al- tar of incense." The message that the angel gave to him was that his prayers had been answered and that a son would be born to him. In verses 57-66 we read of the birth of the son and of the re- ;oicirg that took place over it. It t.n extraordinary event and was in everybody's mouth. The neigh- bors and cousins came together to discuss the almost miraculous birth and to be present at the ceremony of circumcision on the eighth day. It was the custom on such an occasion to name the child. Here a discussion arose. Some proposed he should be called after his father. To this his mother objected saying: "Not so; but he shall be called John." The father had taken no part in the discussion, for, since the visit of the angel he had been deaf and dumb. By signs they indicated to him their desire to know his mind. He by writing con- firmed the mother's wish. They were all astonished at that. They had both 'been guided by the same spirit. Zacharias at that particular time regained his speech and uttered praises to God. These things were told all over the country, to the great amazement of all that heard them. They laid them up in their memories and said to themselves and said to others, "What manner of child shall this be?" WO -ten Zacharias opened his mouth in a song of praise to God it was 'for the work of salvation that was to be wrought out by the Messiah himself (68-75) and for the part to be taken by his own child—John the Baptist. "For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways. In verse 80, we have a short ac- count of the early years of Joan the Baptist. "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and -vas in the deserts till the day of his show- ing (into Israel." Destined far a great work, he lived in obscurity in training by contemplation and devo- tion until the appointed tin're, WORLD MISSIONS How Davie Glendenning Preached the Gospel. This quaint little story is told by Rev. F. W. Boreham: Old Davie Glendenning was one of the most ob- scure members of the Mosgiel church; but he was the truest philosopher on the subject of finance that 'I have ever met. He was only a mill -hand, it is true, but his name is very great in the Kingdom of God. He has gone now, so that I am violating no confi- dence. He was no scholar, and I used to help him with his correspondence. The thing that astonished me was its magnitude and its character. .There were letters from Dr. Barnardo's Humes, from missionary societies, from hospital boards, and from char- itable institutions of all kinds. One day I asked him what it all meant. "Wee1," he said, "cit ye doon, an' I'll tell ye. I aye feel that I maun dae my bittie every week for the puir we !bairnies that hae neither farther nor mither. But I cud no tak' a bairnie into this bit hams, ye ken! An' then, ye mind what the Moister said shoot gaein' an' preach- ing the Gospel to a' the world; but hoo cud Davie gke. And boo cud Davie preach? And it makes my heart sore, ye ken, to think o' the puir things that are tick or in pain; but hoo can Davie nurse and tend them? Sae this is what 1. do. The first 'oor in the mill every day I ea' MRS. HANNAH ASH was restless and in the mornings I didn't feel like doing anything that required the least energy. I feel bet- ter in every way since I started Sar- gon, I'm full of new strength and energy, all my troubles are over and there's never a day that I don't re- commend Sargon to somebody. "Sargon Pills toned up and recon- ditioned my liver and didn't sicken or distress in any way."—Mrs. Hannah Ash, 6 Hatherly Road, Toronto. Sargon may be obtained at Charles Aiberhart, Seaforth. the Lord's 'oor. On Monday frae echt till nine, I say to myself, 'Davie, lad, dae a guid bit o' 'onest wark noo for the wee 'bairnies without faithers or mithers.'• And on Tuesday I says to myself, 'Noe, Davie, lad, ye're gaen to dae an 'oor's wark for India the day!' And on Wednesday I says to myself, says 'I, 'Davie, my mon, noo dae the n^erra best ye can frae echt till nine for the puir folk in their pain.'" And so on. On pay day he put the wages of those sacred hours into the little boxes that he had made on purpose. Once a quarter he had a glorious time in sending off his gifts. And Davie thought money just the loveliest contrivance that was ever invented. Davie would have said that a sovereign was a saint, ev- ery time. A REAL NERVE TONIC s a Bountiful Supply of Rich, Health -Giving Blood. Sufferers from nervous debility find themselves tired, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. They are totally unfit to per- form their everyday duties. Doctoring the nerves with sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. To secure this rich, red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. Enriching and purifying the blood is their whole mission. Con- cerning thein Mrs. Albert Bentley, Bancroft, Ont., writes: "Two years ago I was a complete wreck; in bed for seven months; extremely nervous, had no color. Nothing I tried seemed to help me till I began D,r. Williams' Pink Pills. My condition at once im- proved and to -day I am well and able for anything without fatigue or trou- ble." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A WORLD-WIDE PRACTICE There are nearly thirty-three mil- lion telephones in the world to -day. And the habit of telephoning far and near is growing daily. Residents of Ontario and -Quebec alone make more than 7{0,000 out-of-town calls a day. REPARTEE Two suburban districts in London bear the names, Hampstead and Is- lington. They adjoin, and the same bus goes into each suburb. The con- ductor was announcing the arrival at the first of these two places, by shouting: "'Amstead! 'Amstead!" "Pardon me," said 'Mr. J. J. Shan - on, the famous artist, as he was get- ting off the bus, "Conductor, you've drooped something—the 'H' in Hamp- stead." "That's hall roight, Sir," came the cheerful rejoinder, "H'I'll pick hit hup hat Hislington." Joseph Jefferson was once fishing, when a game warden approached and examined his catch, which consisted of one beautiful black bass. Then the warden said: "It will cost you, sir, just $25 for Druggist Tells Easy Way to End Bladder Weakness catching this black bass out of sea- son." • "I take a black bass out of sea- son?" exclaimed Jefferson. "Never! Suck an idea 'never occurred to uie. I'll tell you 'how it happened," as he handed the warden a cigar. "That black bass was eating the bait off my hooks as fast as I could put it on, so I thought I would just tie him up where he couldn't get at it until I got through fishing." * ** 'Henry Ward Beecher was once rid- ing with Robert Ingersoll, when the latter asked him to write his epitaph. Taking a piece of paper, Mr. Beecher wrote, "Robert Burns." Pleasant4 Inexpensive Home Treat- ment Quickly Relieves Daily Irri- tation and Getting -Up -Nights.

Whereupon the General did likewise. It shocked the Southern officers, one of whom asked, "Why, General, do you take off your hat to a Nigger?" General Grant coolly replied, "I will not allow a Nigger to outdo me in politeness." * * Some years ago, while travelling on a small steamer on a Florida river, my daughter and the captain were admiring the semi -tropical scenery. "Captain," she asked, "if I fell over- board what would you do?" Quick as a flash came the reply—"Well, madam, I would stay here the bal- ance of my life and sell sweetened water at ten cents a glass." The late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was .noted for his caustic wit and cutting sarcasm. A characteristic example concerns a political caucus which the Senator attended. He was trying hard to hear what the speaker had to say, but the squalling of an infant directly in front of him gave him little chance. At length he leaned forward, touched the mother on the shoulder and asked: "Has your baby been christened yet?" "No, sir, why do you ask?" "Merely because I was about to sug- gest that if he had not been christen- ed you might name him "Good idea.'" "'Good Idea,'" exclaimed the as- tonished mother. "Why in the world such a 'peculiar name as 'Good Idea°?" "Because," replied Lodge, "it should be carried out." A lady once asked Charles Schwab for advice relative to investing in a certain mining stock. "Mr. Schwab," said she, "will XYZ stock go up or down?" Quick as a flash, Mr. Schwab, who was somewhat irritated by her per- sistency, answered: "Madam, I am sure it will—it can't go sideways!" THOROUGHBRED YEARLINGS OFFERED AT AUCTION There are probably a good many people in Canada who would like to own a thoroughbred horse which would permit them for a year or so to indulge in the gorgeous dream that they! might win the King's Plate. These people are not to be called horsemen, but horse lovers. They know nothing about racing or train- ing horses. Perhaps they have not a foot of land of their own to estab- lish a farm. Maybe they haven't a garage where they could keep a horse. But they are aware that there is nothing wholly incongruous in a man without even a stable of his own becoming the possessor of a horse that might some day win a lot of money and renown for the lucky own- er. In short, if they have the money there is nothing in the world to pre- vent their buying a colt or filly that will be eligible for the King's Plate and other valuable prizes. There are so many people in the class we have mentioned that we are inclined to think that they outnumber those who are not interested in horses or rac- ing. On Tuesday and Wednesday eve- ning next they are going to have an opportunity of buying a horse, and precisely the same opportunity has not .hitherto been presented to them. On those evening there will be of- fered at auction most of the thorough- bred yearlings bred in the Province of 'Ontario in 1929. It is astonishing to think that there are only 56 of them surviving, sound and healthy. Never- theless this is the total crop of avail- able yearlings in the stables of the members of the Thoroughbred Breed- ers' Association of Canada with the exception of those owned by Mr. Harry Hatch. This association was formed recently to further the inter- ests of Canadian breeders of race horses, which axle sometimes quite different from the interests of the racing associations or the interests of the race going public. One of these interests is obviously to increase the number of owners of race horses. There are fourteen stables repres- ented in the sale, and how many mem- bers of the association have no year- lings to offer we do not know. We have been told that there is an in- vestment of $5,000,000 in farms, horses and plant in bhissprovince, but after all the breeding industry is now carried on by a mere handful of men. Quite naturally they would be pleas• ed to see others join them. The way to join them is to buy a colt or a filly, a brood mare or a horse in training. So these various breeders are offering for sale every yearling they own. There is no reserve !bid on any of them. If the owners waist to bid in in some of their offerings, which no doubt they will, they will have to bu'y them in competition with, others. There is, we beliervd, a lot of sport to be got out of horses that remains to be extracted, so far as Canadians are concerned. 'Suppose there were a hundred men in Toronto, men of sni'ail or limited means, who yet could afford the cost .of ' keeping a race horse, which, after all, need rot be much greater than the coat of keep- ing a dog kennel or a poultry yard. Where could diley hae mere fun than racing their horses against each oth- er eve* Saturday afternoon in the CaiiM Different from WCICevery other Oats 1304 uAKER.• COOKS IN 2% MINUTES AFTER THE WATER ROILS summer? This is the way horse rae- • ing was conducted in the old days. It was racing of this kind thatdevelop- ed into the Derby. Before the motor cars came there were scores of men in this city who owned a shifty pac- er or trotter, which they drove them- selves in private match races or on the old speedway. They had as much fun, we believe, as the owner of the most successful racing stable in Can.! ada has had. The average value of the horses they drove was probably less than $500, but the thrill they got out of a fast brush was hardly less than the thrill of leading in the win- ner of the King's Plate. Personally we are not much con- cerned about the fate of the thor- oughbred horse in Canada. We have become bored with the hypocritical ar- guments which have been advanced from time to time to justify betting, though we see nothing wrong in bet- ting. We have not been impressed by owners who race horses as advertise- ments for something they have to sell. There have not been many real good horses bred in Canada, mainly icr the reason that there have not been many men in the breeding industry with intelligence and courage enough to buy really high-class ,brood mares. Perhaps we should modify this as- persion on their intelligence. After all, why should a man pay $20,000 for a brood mare and a thousand - dollar service fee (with a guinea for the groom) when he could breed a horse good enough to win a Queen's Plate out of a $250 mare, and a sire whose service fee was $10? The only reason would be that he loved a good horse and took pride in owning the best mare in Canada. There have been men enter the sport who have speedily become dis- gusted and quit it because they found it a sink hole for money, and because of the dubious practises they found all too common. But they would find all kinds of people in all sports and if racing men are a trifle more hard- boiled than any others it is because they go in constant fear that their best friends are about to steal their eye teeth. But the horses are not to blame for this. There is nothing more beautiful than a thoroughbred horse except a game cock. We should rather own one than a painting by Land - seer. There is a lot of pleasure to be had from a horse, even after it be- comes too old for racing or even if it is never fit to race. We should like to see one gazing over the gate of every paddock in Ontario, and on that ac- count, are glad to give this publicity to the work of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of Canada, even though we do not believe (1) that it is necessary to have betting at race tracks in order to maintain the Brit- ish cavalry; (2) that race -track own- ers are in businesh to improve the breed of horse, and (3) that all races are as free from suspicion as the ap- pointment of Peter as Chief of the Apostles. ARCHITECTURAL NOTES - Colored concrete has made its ap- pearance in road building. A 60 -foot strip of concrete, rose in color, has been laid along the center of Canal Street, New Orleans. In 1928, 35.2 per cent. of the people in 257 representative cities lived in one -family houses as against 58.3 per cent. in 1921. Quite a comment on the changing habits of the American people! Dutch housewives with traditional thrift have solved the question of urn welcome callers. A door bell is in- stalled that rings only when a coin is put in a slot. Welcome callers get their money back; others don't Post- men,, being privileged characteis, are provided with special discs that fit the machine and are returned after use. A noise filter is now being perfect- ed which will be placed in windows and not only keep the uproar of the street from the ears of those indoors, but also remove dust and dirt from incoming air, according to R. F. Nor- ris, acoustical engineer for the !Bur- gess Laboratories, in speaking before the Illinois Society of Architects. He, explained that most offices are noisy because their walls and floors have no sound absorbing qualities, sound of- ten coming in and reverberating until it is five times as noisy inside the building as outside. Now comes the announcemeat that Los Angeles is in the limelight with a 12 -story 'building to be erected there with a landing field on the roof.

New York City, will be chilled as de- sired, ,for the radiators are to give heat or cold according to the season - An entirely new idea in interior decorating through the medium of colored light that paints countless de- signs and colors on walls and ceilings at will has been developed. The first commercial installation of the system, has been made in the ball room of the 'St. George Hotel, Brooklyn. An; operator may decorate the room for at. morning wedding, change the scheme for a luncheon, adapt an entirely new conception for an afternoon bridge party, paint coiiege colors on the walls and ceilings for a fraternity dances and so on ad infinitum. Colors andi designs may be changed at will, the glory of a sunrise merging into the dusky grayness of a storm at sea; ghastly green faces appearing and disappearing, changing to floral and other designs as the: operator wills, and at an instant's notice. It is like a master organist with the whole- gamut`pf colors as his keyboard, com- bining his tone and harmonies as the spirit moves. The entire room is finished in flat white paint to provide the "canvas"" upon which is "painted" with light various patterns and color combina- tions. Frank Lloyd Wright states that he proposes to build four New York city apartment houses -of inverted 18 story pyramids of glass, copper and con- crete with steel furnishings. He in- tends to banish walls in their present form and to substitute vast windows. transparent or translucent as needed.. The towers will be much larger at. the top than at the 'bottom and stand on a base or pedestal of reinforced" concrete; through the center of then building, from base to roof, 'will be a. core of reinforced concrete. They will be located on the property of the Church of St. Marks-in-the-Bouwerie_ In discussing this project Mr- Wright rWright said: "There is beauty in steel that wet have overlooked, that symbolizes our. times. We live in a mechanical age,, and unless we turn it to our ow$ ac- count it will turn us to its account.. So 'I propose to make my towers of glass and steel with copper floors, and thus get the maximum of light and air. My buildings will be modern, not modernistic. "From now on our buildings will be constructed in parts, as an automobile is manufactured, and then assembled. That means they will be carted to the - building site in sections and fitted to- gether without the bother of lengthy construction work. It's a big step ahead, we think, and truly represern-• tatively American." WILL KILL MOPE FLIES THAN SEVERAL OOLLARS'WORTH \OF ANY OTHER FLYKILIER/ Rest of all ily killers.
