It 18 no dream city; of that Mr. Mitchell-Hedges has already shown proof, for last year he brought to the .Museum of the American Indian ove! 1000 pieces of pottery, fragments of tools and weapons, and ornaments from the ruins of the ancient city. Scientists have studied these, They have found them to differ entirely from the relics of other Indian civili- gations discovered in the jungles o Central America. "It is old," Mr. Mitchell-Hedges ad- mitted guardedly when questioned about fis find. "It is so old that there .are not even any date stomes to be found in it, as far ae I can say. There are no carvings of the feathered ser- pent god of the Mayans whose cities we have dated back to 600 B.C. It is older than any of these, "Do you know," he warmed up to the subject, "I'm a little diffident about speaking of this because it seems so extraordinary. There is a wall about the city. Inside there are two mounds. And these mounds have stones abou them--exactly like Stonehenge! "Nothing like it has yet been found Jn the three Americas." Strange Happenings cl 1 to Mr. Mitchell-Hedges. Barthquakes have torn and tossed the masonry walls. They have opened great cracks through the old city. They have ele- over. The work of destruction has been aided by the jungle plants whose fast growing roots have torn to pieces what other structures there were built of stones. It's a weird sort of place," Mr. Mit- chell - Hedges sald reminiscently. "There is a three-acre patch of land, that is a lot like that 'Lost World' that Conan Deyle wrote about. "On this patch there are gigantic lizards with a spine that makes them look as if great combs for the hair are growing out of their back bones. They are seven feet long," he continued. "They must have been cut off. from the rest of the world for thousands of years, for I cannot otherwise under- stand how: they can have developed in such fashion." n Peculiar Animals Animal lite, according to the ex- plorer, has altogether 'received pe- culiar stimulation along that part of the Caribbean from which he will make entrance to his secret city next January. "I have caught turtles there which were 11 feet long from front to back and over nine feet in width," he said. "I have found crabs three feet across, end «inthe. lagoons towards the in. terior there are crawfish that are five feet long." : And then the explorer was once more discussing city. He has had expérience in judging the age of the old walled towns buried under the ngle of 'Honduras and Yucatan, For 7 years he has been collecting speci- mens for the British and other mus- eums. In 1924 he was one of the co- discoverers of Lubaantum, oldest Maya city in British Honduras, whose site fas been entirely taken over by the British Museum now. "The only clue I have so far found to the age of this new city is a strange one," he confessed. "I have found statuettes, about 18 inches high, buried in the ground when I dug among the ruins, Now do not forget that they wore granite. But when I touched 'them. I found that parts of them had become as soft as toothpaste; that they had turned te clay.

South of the bay it is almost flat, rising slowly toward the height of land, and then sloping gent- ly down to the north, Its rivers are broad and filled with smashing drives of ice in the Spring, but they can be bridged. The timber gets thinner and shorter as one travels north and fin- ally disappears in the tundra. Fur ther wast, of course, there are moun- tains and broad valleys, but where most of the railroad extension has been taking place the country is ap- parently ideal. Canada, however, is cursed with a surface known as mus- keg. It exists in large patches, al- most everywhere in the North, It is swampy, a mushy mass of decayed vegetation, the bane of all railroad builders. Year after year the lines take on a snake-like or roller-coaster appearance and have to be reballasted. ee ------------------------------------------ about this ancient city, according to Mr. Mitchell- Hedges. There are great limestone cayes under and around the city. Many of them have, of course, been' filled by earthquake subsidences, but many are still left. And these have man-cut shafts going down into their blackness from what formerly was the great city." . Sh L pd Back 5m also make raitroad work often ] ag dangerous as exploring.

In the Peace River district and the Lake St. John coun- try, areas which for years were thought unsuitable are being settled by farmers. A map of the resources of this north. ern country is dotted with markings of copper.and gold, lead andyzinc, sil: ver; bituminous sands and oil, coal and iron. Ore from the Coppermine on the Arctic Circle is no longer an impossibility. And between all these points, extending almost to the mouth of the Mackenzie River on the Arctic Sea, lies the limitless forest. Year after year the paper mills have been growing in number and size, and re- forestation is being done to conserve their supply. In the Lake St. John country there are enormous paper mills, and there also a little town, Ar- vida, has been built around a mill which will turn bauxite ore from South America into aluminum, a mill made possible by water power. A little further west in Ontario the town of Kapuskasing has been con- structed as a unit, a modern, comfort- able town, with all the household com- forts and many of the entertainments of much larger cities in the south. It has its moving pictures, its community house, Badminton courts, hockey and curling rinks. This town was erected in a reglon formerly so desolate that during the war it was used as an in- ter: t camp because the priseners could not possibly make their way out. A paper mill was bullt. and the care- fully planned town grew around it; a railroad was constructed over the muskeg to Smoky Falls and a hydro- electric power house built td supply the mill.

They explain why the Hudson's Bay Company has been forced to push its posts further and further to the north, even to the Arctic islands. Men dig for coal a short distance from the place where Hudson died, and drill for oil almost at the Arctic Circle. The trappers are turning from the trap line to the fur farm, and there is talk of a fishing industry in Hudson Bay as large as that of the North Sea.

INTRODUCTION-- The painful news reached Paui that his converts in the Galatian churches were forsaking his teaching. Judaizing missionarios from Palestine had come a.iong them. They were evidently belittling Paul as a mere underling, Gal. chap. 1. They were also rapidly persuading the Gala- tions to accept circumcision and rith it the regulations of, the old Daw, 5: 2, 4. The Galation church was in danger of becoming a sect of Judaism. In the first part of this letter (Chaps. 1 to 5; 12) Paul vindicates his own independence as an apostle, and sets the choice before 'hem--Christ or the Law. Another danger confronted this Galatian churci. The liberty of the gospel was being abused. No longer under the law, some thought that hey wore free to indulge their lower im- pulses. In the second part of the let- ter (5: 13 to 6: 10) Paul warns against this danger and gives prac- tical guidance for avoiding it. He mentions four safeguards. The firsy is love, 6: 13-.%. They are, :ndeed, free from the Law, but if a man loves his neighbor as himsaf, freedom from a legal code. will not tempt hiru to steal from _him. The man who oves will observe all 'aws. The second safeguard is being filled with the Spirit, 5: 16-24. The man who follows within him is in n. danger of break- ing any law. The last two safeguards compromise our lesson today. Cal. 6: 1-5.

IIT. NATURAL LAW IN THE SPIRITUAL worLp, Gal. 6: 7-10. One more warning! The conse- quences of sin cannot be avoided on a technicality. God is not fooled. One is rewarded or punished according as his deeds are good or evil. | . Rewards and punishments are of two kinds, arbitrary and natural. A diploma is an arbitrary reward for work well done. The enriched person- ality, the increased capacity for work, service, enjoyment, are the natural ' rewards. A jail sentence is an arbi- | trary punishment for drunkenness. Trembling nerves, lowered resistance, | lessened efficiency, weakened will, are | the natural punishments. God's rewards and punishments are ! natural. As the ripened grain grows | from the sown seed, so rewards and i punishments grow from the attitudes and activities of man.
