Place.--Kadesh-barnea was lo- cated between Tamar and the riv- er of Egypt, at the extreme south- ern end of the territory assigned- to Judah; Gilgal was on the west- ern side of the Jordan River, north of the valley of Achgr, about three miles east of old JeFi- cho; Hebron was located twenty miles south of Jerusalem. Of the twelve men who had- spied out the Land of Promise there were two of a more optimis- tic mood than the ten, men of unswerving faith in God, who be- cause of such faith refused to be a part of any so depressing report. These two men were Caleb and Joshua (Num. 14: 6, 30): Caleb never appears in- history until he is chosen from the tribe of Jephunneh, who is called a Kenizzite, from a tribe of pcople descending from Kenaz, a grand- son of Esau. / Nearly half a century has pass- ed since last we saw Caleb short- ly after the exodus from Egypt. There have been forty years of wandering in the wilderness, and seven more years of conflict in Palestine when our lesson opens. These must have been indeed years when the stoutest hearts of men were tried. Every man who had heard Caleb that day plead with Israel to go up and possess the land of Canaan had died, with the single exception of Joshua. In other words, there was not a sin- gle man, with the exception of 'these two, sixty years old at this time among the Israelites, Vigor and -Courage 6.. Then the. children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son 8f Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jchovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadeshbarnea. 7. Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it wgs in my heart. 8. Never- theless my brethren that went up with - me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God. The city of Gil- gal, \where Joshua and the Israel- ites are gathered together, was the first camp of Israel after crossing the Jordan. When it says that Caleb "wholly followed the Lord," it does not mean that he claimed to have perfectly attained every virtue in life, but only that he had a' perfect aim. It simply Sunday School | Lesson S T . other voice. states that he had allowed no dis« tance to come between him and God. i Amid the marchings and coun- termarchings, the innumerable deaths, the murmurings, and re- bellions of the people, he retain ed a steadfast purpose to do only' God's will, to please him, to know no other leader, and to heed no. A man in whose strong nature weaker men could hide, and who must have been a tower of strength to that new and young generation which grew up to fill the vacant places in the van of Israel. The Promise of Moses 9. And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, be- cause thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God. This promise is found in Deut. 1: 35, 36, "Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware "to give unto your fathers, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden up- on, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah." The particular area to which Cal- eb here must be referring is Heb- ron, which was one of the cities visited by the spies in their jour- "ney through the land of promise nearly half a century before this (Num. 13: 22), and possibly at .this time Caleb- had seen the white buildings of this city and had longed for it as a possession of his own. All through the years this promise of the lawgiver had burned in Caleb's heart. 10. And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wildernes=: and now, lo, I am this day fou:score and five years old. 11.-As yet IT am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in. In this speech we have the only direct evidence as to the duration of the wars of Canaan under Joshua. The spies were sent. from Kadesh-barnea in the second year of the exodus, about 38% years before the pass- age of Jordan (see Deut. 2: 14). Thus Caleb would be 40 plus 38 equals 78 years old when they crossed the Jordan. He was 856 when they began to divide the country. Therefore the conquest itself must have extended over a period of seven years. Religion Preserves Youth Christianity, by the inspiration that it imparts, the stimulus that it gives, and the hopes that it per- mis us to cherish, has a direct tendency to keep alive in old age all the best of the characteristics of youth.

Heb- ron was one of the most ancient and important cities in southern Palestine located about twenty miles south of Jerusalem and sit- uated about three thousand feet above sea level. Here Abram dwelt (Gen. 13: 18), and here the three angels came to visit him (Gen. 18: 1). The Anakim were, of course, the descendants of Anak, a mighty giant, and probably the ancestor of a race of giants. Caleb does not ask for which the inhabitants have already been driven out; he asks for one of the most difficult places to take in all the Promised Land. He may be eighty-five years of age, but he has the heart of a young man. Such a Man As He "We want some such men workers who are willing to con- tinue the work." 13. And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an in- heritance. 14. Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Keniz- zite unto this day; because that God of Israel. 15. Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kir- jatharba; which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war. Of all the Israelites that received now. We must not dismiss old their inheritance in the land of promise, Caleb appears to have been the only one who succeeded in perfectly expelling the native occupiers of the country. The Israelites generally seem to have made but poor headway against their strong and mighty foes, with their chariots of iron and fenced walls, Repeatedly we encounter the sorrowful affirmation, the were nat able to drive them out, Yet Caleb drove them out-- not he indeed, but th2 Lord, who was with him, 'and gave him a victory that must have otherwise eluded even his strong hands.

"Swing" like every other type of popular music will definitely have its day and then sink into deep, dark oblivion. Since the current "rage" for swing music started about three years ago, music critics, orchestra leaders and people in gen- eral have forecast a sudden and violent 'death for it. Strange as it seems, however, "swing" is still going strong with the younger g:n- eration. Now, "swing music" is jazz of the "hot" type that appeals to the "jungle" complex in us. Have you ever watched a crowd of frenzied "Big Applers?" LEKvery muscle, ev- ery nerve is engrossed in one thing --Rythm -- the same rythm that drives African natives into deliri- ous dancing.

RADIO--A CANADIAN DEVELOPMENT Contrar, to popular belief, the electric radio is not a foreign in- vention, but was brought into the world in Canada, within 150 miles of Teronto! Let us turn back time. It is a warm summer night in 1914. Deep in the heart of Muskoka, a boy sits tense before a rough home-made wireless receiver, cu CL OUS- ly. he listens. Yes!--there it Is-- "Imperial German Army crosses Belgian frontier." That boy was E. S. Rogers, better known as "Ted" and tt rath - crude wireless re- ceiver was the world's first suc- cessful electric radio. Many years havc elapsed since that summer night in 1914, but "Ted" R- ws is still one of the leading lights in Radio engineeriug. The story of radio is a long one and is far from being complete. But we should be proud of Canada as the pioneer of radio!

TAPPING PUBLIC OPINION TORONTO.--A new type of ac- tuality broadcast, in which an at- tempt is being made to get a cross- section of Canadian public opinion directly from "the man in the street" himself, is being presented every week day except Saturday and Sunday over the CBC national network at 1.30 p.m., EDST._ This microphone questionnaire fs being conducted in important Canadian cities from _Vancor = to Halifax. CBC commentators, sta- tioned at the busiest street corners, interview passers-by on questions of current and general interest, A certain amount of preparation is necessary for these broadcasts, but all interviews are genuine and the opinions and statements obtain- ed from "men in the street" are spontaneous and sincere.

By FREDDIE TEE P . . . erspiration Is Body Thermostat Regulates Heat of Our System And Keeps It Normal Now that the hot season is here, even in the northernmost portions of the continent, we are more interested in perspiration and its effects upon the human body. One of the chief uses of perspiration is to regulate the heat of the body and keep it nor- mal. s The sweat glands are the chief paths by which water reaches the surface of the skin. Much water, however, passes through the skin by what is known as insensible perspiration, It has been deter- mined that the insensible perspi- ration is uniform except for a few areas on the palms and soles. It is impossible for the human body to control insensible perspiration, but the sweat glands_are subject to nervous control and vary wide- ly in the amount of their activity. Exhaustion Increases People who are already adapt- ed to hot weather will perspire more easily and produce more perspiration than those who are not adapted to high temperatures. It is important to realize that perspiration may definitely weak- en the human being so that he becomes fatigued more easily and requires a longer time to recover from fatigue. Experts advise that anyone cxposed to high tempera- tures must take warning if the degree of exhaustion increases every day and if the degree of re- covery after each night of rest is less. 'Canada Starts Youth Hostels Importadit Movement Well- Known In Europe Begins Here--For Hikers and Lov- ers of Outdoc:s. i] New impetus is being given to hiking in Canada by a movement known as the Youth Hostels "As- sociation, already registered in a number of countries. The aim of youth hostels is everywhere the same--to enable young people to enjoy hiking and cycling in the beautiful outdoors of Europe and North America; to enable youth to find wholesome companionship along the road, travelling inex- pensively, and acquiring a knowl- edge of their neighbour's land and customs as well as their ewn, One of the codes of the hikers is that they pledge themselves to leave the countryside ufmarred as a result of their travel in it. Draws Youth Together The youth hostels idea began in Ilurope in 1911, as the prac- tical dream of a German school- master. Since its inception, youth in millions upon the open roads of Curope have advanced youth hos- telling from a national to an in- ternational influence. In 1930 hostels were opened in England; in 1933 one opened in Canada, and in 1934 the movement spread to the United States. Today there are thousands of hostels in forty different countries with several millions of members. As youth hostels concern themselves not at all with the religious or political beliefs, or social positions of members, the movement more and more is lessening racial distinc- tions. Chain In Alberta So far Canada has but a dozen or more hostels and a scant hun- dred members. The first youth hostel in Canada was opened in the foothills of Alberta, and a total of twelve now forms a chain from the E. P. Ranch to the town of Banff in Banff National Park. In 1937 Canada was the twentieth country to be admitted to the In- ternational Youth Hostels Asso- ciation, and extensive organizas tional work is now being carried on to extend the movement from Maritimes to British Columbia. Northwest Expects Record Navigation With a record anticipated, movement of freight by boat into mining 'arcas of the Northwest Territories was' reported at Fd- monton last 'week by directors of freighting operations to be hit- tine a fast fin. Despite low-water conditions between Waterways, Alta, 275 miles Roi) of Edmonton and the end of ste¢l, and Lake Athabaska, freighting is opening up on ap- proximately normal schedule. Freight tonnage is expected to Le about 38,000 tons compared with 25,000 tons ldst season. Boy Air Pirate A youthful voice recently sur- prised Slovakian radio listeners by announcing where a bookshop that sold "cribs" for homework was to be found. Pirate turned out to be 16-year-old school-boy who had made his own transmitter and was giving informal broadcasts to his friends. | ~~ Zr ke > A Ze 54 --- ~
