Commentary -I. Mordecai and Esther
(vs. 10-14). Mordeeai learned of thie ter-
rible decree and sod word to Qtteen Es-
ther and aeleed her to intereede with the
leing for the preeervation of her race,

It was o. Universal rule, known by all.
The object of this law WAS to maintain
both the dignity autl safety of the king.

were alienated from her, "and that Bei-

archswere fickle and deepotic, In at-
tempting to are her people the wen
must risk everything. The ardor of the
Ung had for the time cooled toward
Esther, aud site feared she had lost her
influenve with the monareh, and if so
now coull she hope to influence him for
the salvation of the despised Jew. We
must not be surprised that Esther
shrank from obeying the summons ot
MordeeaL She proved her heroism by de-
ciding to go in into the king, knowing
as she did the danger to whieh she was
exposed. Let us learn (1) that it is
right to carefully estimate difficulties;
Cfr that we should never be discouraged
beeause there are difficulties; (3) that
those who go at the call of duty, in the
faee of difficulties, have a right to ex -
pet divine support. It is not every
werker who has the good fortune of Es-
ther; however, that servant is glorious
who triumphs in hie fall if it secures the
success of bis cause."
13. Think not, ete.-It seems that Es- ,
flier had not been known as a Jew, but
the fact would be brought to light, and'
in the general slaughter she would per-
ish with ner people. 14. Then will relief
foul deliverance arise (R. 'An -Mordecai
had strong faith that God would not
allow the Jewish nation to be destroyed.
But thou, etc. -You will not escape de-
struction, but you will lose an opportun-
ity of saving your people. Who knoweth
-God may have put you in your present
position that you might be the means ot
saving your people in this hour of dark-
ness. "It is a great blessing to have
some work assigned up by God and to
see God's hand in our lives, .acomplishing
that work. This makes us strong, and
renders life glorious, since it is a plan
of the almighty mid all -wise God." Sev-
eral motives influenced Esther in this
hazardous undertaking: 1. She was in
danger. 2. Mordecai's words that deliv-
erance would eorae from some other
source and that she would lose the op-
portunity .of saving her people. 3. The
suggestion that God had 'brought her to
her present position that she might be
a deliverer in this terrible hour. 4. The
assurance she had that God would give
her success.
IL The three days' fast (vs. 15-17).
16. Fast ye for me -"In Day behalf.
Fasting implies humiliation, repentance,
consecration to God. It was the expres-
sion, outwardly, of the intense desires
of the heart. Only God could give suc-
cess to her efforts." Three days -It has
been supposed that Esther could not
have meant an absolute fast -complete
abstinence from both. rood and drink -
for so tong a period as three days; but
the time intended, from the evening of
the first to the morning of the third
day, need not have much exceeded thir-
ty-six .hours.--elhawlinson. My maidens
-they were probably either Jews or pro-
selytes to that religion, and thus would
be in sympthy with her. If I perish -
1 will put forth every possible effort
to save my people even though I perish
in the attempt. The great danger to
which Esther was exposed will be seen
more dearly wben we consider the des-
potic nature of Xerxes. When he was
on his way to Greece he halted at
Celaenae, a. city of Phrygia, where he
was entertained by Pythias with incred-
ible magnificence. Pythias even offered
two contribute some millions of dollars
toward the expenses of the war. But
when Pythias begged Lis a favor that, of
his five sons in the king's army. the
oldest might be left with him in his
old age, the brutal monarch went into
a rage, and caused the son to be slain
in the presence of his father, the body to
be divided into two parts. and placed, the
one part on row side of the road, and the
other on the other side, and ordered the
whole army to march between thein." --

bers to the church. The total contribu-
tions were $28,088. The committee's re-
ceipts were $1,124. Four new schools

ment was 024.

son, who valued the stock at $3,388,

stations, at a cost of $24,278, These
churches themselves raised $40,283. Dur-
ing the year 632 were baptized and 580
eeceived by letter, a net gain of 800.

of the Entomological Society -of Ontario,
\Melt combated here emday.
`fine afternoon Dr. James Fletcher,
C. E. in, Ottawa, gave a short address
on insects wbicit bave been injurioue
to crops in 1005. A great many injur-
ious insects, he said, boa beeu reporeed
during the year, but there had not
been any which hail proved especially
aggressive in character. The stalk;
boring caterpillar of the potato lued
peeved rather abundant and destructive
in fields of corn aaul potatoes in the
extreme west of Ontario. Tbe corn
worm, which is the same ae the dee-
tructive boll worm of the southern
cotton fields, did some injury to :sweet
team not only iu Ontario, but extend-
ed for the first time through Manitoba
and the Northwest Territories.
The most interesting attack of the
year was made by a caterpillar named
Barathra, which previously was only re-
presented in single snecunens in most
colleetione, but of which this year many
were taken, and these caterpillars were
abunaantly destructive from Nova Sco-
tia to Lake Superior. A new forma
insect was tbe European larch ease -
bearer, widen in some way had been in-
trodueed into America and is found do-
ing noticeable, injury in Oetawa.
The purslone sawfly was a noticeable
discovery in Canada for the first time,
This insect lays its eggs in the edgai
of the leaves of the common purslane,
which is only too well knownto gar-
deners. The eggs hatch and in about
a week the gineu grub has destroyed ehe
fleshy contents of three or four leaves,
after which it burrows into the ground
and in another week emerges as a small,
four -winged, ehiny black fly. This in-
sect increases rapidly, there being about
seven broods in the year, and it has
been found so effective in destroying
the troublesome weed that in Indiana
it is recorded that the plant could not
produce any seed because the leaves were
destroyed by myriads of the grubs.
Consequently, purslane, being an annual
fell.
, has its numbees m
very ucleere-
iDr. Fletcher drew attention to the
cabbage and turnip aphis, which is do'
ing so much harm year by ,year in Oan-
mil. A knowledge of the natural his,
tory of this insect, he said, showed that
much good could be done to prevent its
spread over whole fields, as was now
too often the case, resulting in the ruin-
ation of the crop. He recommended
that farmers in thinning out their tur-
nips in August should be on the alert
to detect the colonies of the insect
which at that time are small and few
in number. By the destruction of
these at the proper time it had heel'
Mond that the crop could be saved,
Feather, Dr. Fletcher pointed out that
when an insect was found in small mon-
bore, as was the case in some plaeepe
with the pea weevil ftna the e.odling
moth, that was the time above all others

and with the recognized remedies could
be destroyed.

WitS not worth while adapting the usual
remedies, which would be applied read-
ily in a year of a heavy crop. This con-
tention Dr. Fletcher vigorously combat-
ted, and' claimed that spraying was a
method of protection which should be
practised -every year, whether insecte
were to be found or not He mentioned
the instance .of orchards nt the ex-
perimental fawn at Ottawa, in whicit
