11. Divine protection and provision,
The Passover marks the birthday of
the great Helerew nation, It is the
first national institution, the first sac-
rifice by direct divine command of
welch we have any xecordn and em-
braced the first precept or Hebrew leg-
islation given in Egypt. Its first de-
sign was to preserve a memorial
."throughout your generations" of their
deliverance, and with its accompani-
ment of "bitter heybs" preserved a
remembrance of their generations of
bondage. It can not escape uotice
that their first national institu-
tion God cemented and sanctified tho
family relationship. No nation rises
about the a,verage et ats Lotto life, and
no nation can continue whose ,famile
• life isdisordered. It is of far-reach-
ing significance that to the fine'
visitation of death, there was univer-
sal amenability. The exemption of
-Israel was not a course, but by a pro.
vision of grace. Their saleation was
not without price, it was not procur-
ed by prayer or fast, but by a life.
-The first-born even of Israel were in-
cluded in the universal forfeiture, The
blood was tb.e visible token that
a life . had been surrendered,
The first paschal feast was not eaten
with a light, Iteart. There was a rus-
tle of sable wings, ,and "eeath was
scrutinizing the lintels and doors
posts." Its observance was an expms-
seen of faith (Heb. 11: 28). In, the
•act of sprinkling, the Israelitish
householder claimed exemption from
the desolating Judgment which was
'sweeping abroled. The hyssop ,branch
Which was *used, and . admirably suited
for the purpose, was afterward re-
served by the law for those sacrifices
• which expiated sin. The sacrifice must
be perfect, remain unbroken, and be
eatee. with girded loins, sandaled feet
and with staff in hand. Its accom-
paniments were unleavened bread ape'
bitter herbs. They were about to
leave the land of judgment and death.

during the remainder Of thie season

whe has been clesely in touch with
the various food committees in Great
• Britain'and. with the Inter -Allied Food
Council, explained that nothing could
be done to plan for the handling of
the crop of 1919 until after the Peace
Conference lied met and the war had
been formally ended, There is now in
proceas of formation a supreme food
board which will probably have Her-
bert Hoover as its director-general.

year. For the time being, however. Re
•concern will be the disposition of the
present world's eupply.
The situation as it applies to Can-
ada, therefore, involves continued
GoVerlement regulation and control.
Sir George Foster alarmed the men
frpm the west that both the Winuipeg
Grain Exchange and the Canadian
Council of Agrice)ture would be
authorized to send representatives to
London, where they could keep in
cloee touch with Dr. Robertson in an
advisory capacity during the delibera-
tions and operationa of any interna-
tional food. board that may be estab-
lished by the Peace ,Conference.
In the light of present indications
and -estimates of the world supplies
recorded here, it is felt that a ready
and available m, arket for Canada's
wheat crop next • season will be as-
sured even under centinued restric-
tions and limitations of an interna-
tional board of food control. It is also
felt that even without a guarantee

ian wheat will not decline very meter.

ITALY'S CLAIM
TOO EXTREME
Wilson Said to Only Par-
tially Endorse.
Cannot Completely Control
the'Adriatie.
A Paris cable: President Wilson, it
is said, has virtually made up his nlind
eow far he will support Italy's claims
atthe Peace Table, and informed Pre-
mier Orlando of his decision, but it is
probable his ideas will not be made
known publicly until the peace dele-
gates have been advised of them.
It isasserted by persons close to the
President that he favors onlypartial
endorsement of Italy's ambitions. The
expectation has been expressed that
President Wilson is agreeable to meet-
ing the principal features of Italy's
claim tie territory undeniably Italian
ane essential to safeguard her sover-
eignty and at the same time to recog-
nize the territorial aspirations of the
Jugo-Slavs. It is anticipated that the
President's leanings in. fever of Italy
do not go so far as to warrant the sug-
gestion that he is in favor of giving It-
aly control of the Adriatic.
The President is Said to realize that
the Italians are dependitig almost sole-
ly on the United • States for support,
but that he has felt front the first that
he could not endorse their dairies in
full, though he is said to entertain the
warmest sympathy for Italy.

RUSSIAN REPRESENTATION
parts, Special Cable - It is understood
OI( best authority that „negotiations have
been under way for some time between
the Allies, lookitig to possible represent-
ation of all the different parties of Rus-
sia at the peaee congress. It is under-
stood that mind:Alen of these delegates
'would be the period coveredby peace
negotiations.
Teel proposition, which is suppooed to
entanate front the British Government,
is not aceepted m its present form by
lerance, which refuses 10 recognize the
Bolsheviks In any form. It is pointed
out that recognition et the BeisltevbitS
by the admission of their representativeS
to the peeee congress would, lit the
estimation Of the Premix anthorities,
give their propaganda fore°, and promote
an extension of,the Bolshevist movement,
of whielt the Allies might be the first
victims. At the salve time the French
