Having In the intervening decades groâ€" n away from the parochial 11ml- ta'inn.? inevitably set by nature upon th- I Society, tlie Canadian National Kxlilbition has never lost sight of the original purpose for which it was founded, namely for the encourage- ment of agriculture and Industry; so that today wo find the basic industry more firmly than ever established as the foundation upon which the super- structure of the "Show Window of the Na'ins" {'•â-  •"â- -"• Pr'iz: L;3t3 Extended It is generally acknowledged that there Is no agricultural exhibition In the world equal to the Canadian Na- tional Kxhibition, and in this Coron- Bticn Year all the latest developments In "^riculture and aids In the aclentlflc cu"lvation of the products of forest anl field arc on display.

Mounted Police In Pageant Among the most popular attractions of the 1937 Exhibition will be the Cor- onation detachnienl of the Royal Can- adian Mounted Police. This splendid body of men together with their per- fectly trained and magnificent mounts will be present for the whole terra ot the Exhibition, and will bo seen night- ly as a part ot the Pageant. Every Canadian will feel a thrill of pride at the spectacle of the "Mounties" guiding their steeds through the in- tricate evolutions of the Musical Ride. fa keeping with the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition's policy ot presenting the finest of the world's musical or- ganizations this year the United States Navy Band will bo featured. The consent of President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to be obtained in order that the band tnight be present. MuMc. lovers are promised a rare treat in the opportunity to hear at the Exhibition's magnificent new band shell thid world . famous aggregation ot more than eighty musicians. Every year there Is something new, some innovation or improvement at the Exhibition and this year it is in the realm ot amusement. 'Gone is the old Midway and in its place is a new amusement zone known as Frol-Ex- land. Here are many startling Innova- tions in the way of entertainment: Es- kimoland, an Eskimo village complete with igloos, dog-teams, blond Eskimos from the Arctic wastes, and Major Godsell's famous collection of north- <!rn trophies. Hollywood on Parade, wlilch can best bo described as a rev- elation ot '"movies" from the inside, taking in every phase ot the making ol a moving picture. There are many more interesting, mirth-provoking and Instructive features of Frol-Ex-land which sets Its apart as being in the forefront of the ntnusement world. Ot tho utmost importance is the fact that exhibit space in tho many buildings of tho Canadian National Exhibition is in greater demand than has been the easo since 1930. Space rentals as a whole are ten lo fifteen per cent, higher than 'ast year, and since the Exhibition has for years been acknowledged as Canada's busl- Iness barometer this is Indeed indica- tive of the Dominion's increasing pros- perity. Overseas Exhibits Overseas exhibits are bigger and more comiirehonsivn then ever before, the Ilritlsh Empire being particularly well represented. Australia, Niiw Zea- land, South Africa and tho Indian Em- pire all have large displays of natural and nianufaetuied iiroducts, while Great Uritaiii Is represented by the commor-ial displays In tho liritlsh Section and tho exhibit ot the Scot- tish National Development Council. Foreign nations have lakon over the International liiillding this year and among those exliildling are Finland, Czechoslovakia and .Japan, who Is rep- resented at the Kxhlbillon .„, ^ ' Tho 1937 dates for tho Canadian Na- tional Exhibition are from August 27 to September 11. In keeping with its policy and posslbilily as a tangible lltik with tho Niagara Agricultural Society, one day each year is tradi- tionally set naldo as Agriculturists' 1)*»»', tills year Wednesday, Sept. 8. When the old-liine fiddlers and square dancers were Introduced at the Canadian National Exhibition it was done as a novelty and Intended iis a t(!mporary attraction. Tho innovation was an inslantunoous hit and will bo continued this year. Huge crowds listen here daily to concerts by world famous bands. The U. S. Navy Band will be heard this year.

"U Is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything, whereby thy brother stumbleth." ''And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire be- fore Jehovah, which he had not com- manded them. And there camo forth fire from before Jehovah, and devour- ed them, and they died before Jeho- vah." The first section ot our lesson has really no relation to tho subject ot temperance and the drinking ot wine, though in It Is the record ot a sad Incident occurring during the for- ty years of Israel's wanderings, which has served for centuries as a power- ful warning against serving God In a presumptuous and self-willed man- ner. Two sons of Aaron. Nadab and Abihu, putting fire In their respective censers, offered strange firo before tho Lord, wliieli he had not command- ed them, and Immediately by fire, God slew them. What this strange fire was has been a question of dispute among commentators for a long time, but at least we know that they efferoi! this fire either In a way not rommnnded, or at a time not commanded, or in a place not commanded, or, perhaps. In each and all of these ways, they of- fered firo not eoinmand(>d of tho Lord. "And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying." A Statute Forever "Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into tliu tent of meeting, that ye die not; It shall bo a statute for ever throughout youi generations. Anil that ye may make a distinction between the holy and tho common, and between the unclean and tho clean. And that yo may teach tho chil- dren ot Israel all the statute."} which Johovah hath spoken unto thorn by Moses." In this paragraph we have the first word of many spoken by tho Lord down llirough the ages against the drinking of wine. "It Is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, whero is strong drink? Lost they drink, and forget tho law, and pervert tho Justice due to any that Is afflicted." If tho king who Is horo called Lemuel Is not King Solo- mon himself, wo do not know who he might be, for ho Is novcr referred to In any other iilaco in tho Dlblo except In tho first four verses of this chap- tor. While tho words In the preceding section forlmdo wlno to tho priests ol God's people, tho words here are a warning against tho drinking of In- toxicating liquors on the part of kings and princes, and tho reason given for such a prohibition Is that, by heavily drinking, thoso In whoso hands gov- ornnieiit and tho execution ot tho law rest would bo In danger of forgetting tho law ot tho land, and being unjust to thoso who are In trouble. "Woo to the crown of pride of tho drunkards of Ephrlnni, and to tho fad- ing flower ot his glorious beauty, that Is on tho head of tho fat valley of them that arn ovorcoiuo with wine!" I';pliiiam Is only another name for Sa- ni.iiia. or tho northiM-n kingdom, com- luislng tho urea occupied by ton of the twelve tribes of Israel, of which Ephrlanv was tho leading tribe. "Heboid, tho Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tompost of hall, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will bo cast down to tho earth with tho hand. Tho crown of pride of the drunkards ot Kphrlnm shall be trodden under foil' " '!'!il3 I.H a lerer. â- !!,,• in r!|(^ .Ass;.- rIniiB, whom tho Lord would use as an agonoy for tho punishment ot his own people because of their stubborn- ness and wickedness. "And the fading flower of his glor- ious beauty, which is on tho head of the fat valley, shall be as the first- ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it, while it Is yet in hts hand he eateth It up.'' The first ripe fig ripened in Jane, while the common fig does not ripen until August. The Idea here Is that the early fig would be plucked and eaten with great greediness, rather than picked and put away for future use. Prophetically Isaiah is telling the Samaritans that, as soon as the Assy- rians should see their beautiful coun- try, they would rush upon it and des- troy It. "In that day will Jehovah ot hosts become a crown ot glory, and a dia- dem of beauty, unto the residue ot his people." Tho threat is now followed by a promise. The place of tho false glory thus overthrown Is now filled by a glory that is divine and true. The remnant ot his people Is not Ju- dah, but Judah and tho remaining por- tion of Ephrlam. as distinguished from tho portion which had perished. After the perishable thing In which they gloried had been swept away, tho eternal person ot Jehovah him- self would be tlie orii:inuiit and tho pride ot his people. "And a spirit of Justice to hini that sllteth in judgment." (See Isa. 11:2; 32.15, IC; 1 Kings 3:2S; John 5:30.) Tho plirasu undoubtedly means that tho day would come (wo do not be- lieve it has yet come) when thoso who Judge in tho land will do so In the illumination of tho very Spirit ot God who will bo to such Judges a spirit of Justice. "And strength to them that turn back tho battle at tho gate." This must undoubtedly refer to the turning back of the hosts ot Sonnnchorib which wore beseiging the city of Jerusab â-  during tho reign of Hezeklah, tho vivid record of which is to bo found in 2 ehronlcle. 32 and in 2 Kings 19. "And even thoso reid with wine." This iiaragiaph refers to thoso within tho kingdom ot Judali, who, though they saw llio terribly ilisastro.;i ef- fects of drunkenness upon their nor- thern brcllueii, still continued to In- dulgo In tho same vice. "And stagger with strong drink; tho priest and tho prophet reel with strong drink, they uro swallowed up of wine; they stag- ger with strong drink; they err In vi- sion.'' To be swallowed up ot wine, is a vivid way ot expressing tho torrlblo fact that they were lu tho complete grip of tho sin ot Intoxication, their very reason, strength, and virtue de- voured 1)V sui'li liululgeiu-es. "They stumble in Judgment." For every true minlstor ot tho gospel and for all worthy priests, occasions must arise, with more or less freqeency, in which they will bo called upon to render Judgment, and glvo advice or comfort In the most critical and dell- oata problems of life, which will de- mand the clearest mind and the pur- est heart for proper evaluation. Every- one knows that intoxicating liquors becloud tho mind; one does not hoar accurately, tho delicate fibers of tho mind do not function readily or in unison, and one says tho most foolish things, and thinks generally tho wick- edest thoughts, when under tho pow- er of such a demon as drink. Alcohol- ic bovoragos are not tho only things that becloud tho minds ot ministers. "For all tables aro full of vomit and filthlneas, so that thore is no placo tIoan."All tho tables ot the carousal are full without being any further room; everything swims with vomit. Tlie prophet paints from nature, here, without Idealizing. He receives their conduct, as it were. In a mirror, and then In the severest tones holds up this mirror before them, adults though they were. "It Is good not to eat flesh nor to drink wine, nor to do anything where- by thy brother stumbleth." For a still stronger expression ot the noble prin- ciple of this verse see 1 Cor. 8:12. Of the three verbs, the first refers to the wounding of the heart caused to our neighbour by conduct which he disap- proves; the second to the sin which he would be led to commit by being drawn away to do what his conscience condemns; tho third to the want of regard for the scruples with which he is affected through weakness ot faith. What a vast change would come over our country It every time a man ordered a glass of intoxicating liquor ho would first say to himself: Am I by drinking this loading others Into tem- tatlon, or in any way weakening the power of their moral life to resist temptation? Exkibition Notes There is no agricultural show In the world equal to that at the Canadian National Exhibition. . . All the now developments as applied to farm, field, and orchard aro on display. Horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, goats, calves, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, flowers, grain machinery and farm equipment of all kinds are there in profusion. "Empire Onward", the pageant at the Canadian National Exhibition this year, will stiver largely of Coronation activities, but as usual tho glittering extravaganza for which thoso produc- tions aro famous will bo deftly woven into tho theme . . . Incidents portray- ing tho coronation ot Quooh Victoria of revered memory and ot tho other nionarcbs through tho years to His Majesty King George VI will bo in- cluded. When tho Royal Canadian Mounted Police appeared in tho recent Coron- ation parado in London they were ac- corded a vociferous reception all along the route. Their specially se- lected, highly-trained horses and the ultra-smart appearance of tho men were a credit to Canada. This same carefully prepared unit will bo a Canadian National Exhibition feature this year. Business men have learned that the now trends In business, in busi- ness methods, new types ot goods, equipment for plants and olilces and all the ramifications of tho world of trade and commerce aro ou review for thom. Foreign buyers from around tho world make an annual pilgrimage to this exposition. The retailer, wholoj saler, jotyber and manufacturer fli^ not only pleasure but profit In adm^-j able combination. Highly Importadt] to all ot the foregoing classes of b\iA-\ ness men la the fact that two mlllKfiil consumers attend In two weeks. The Canadian National Exhibition,' originally chtrtered ''for the encour-'- agemont of agriculture, industry and' 'the arts," has never forgotten tho'* purpose for which it was organized.|* It has grown and expanded in many^ respects but the basic plan has been; carefully adhered to. *' It was necessary to secure the per- sonal approval of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to bring the United States Navy Band to the Canadian National Exhibition this year. Witll cighty-flve musicians and attaches the personnel will run to almost one hun- dred. They will travel to and from Washington, D.C., In special trains. Tom Mix and his famous horsa "•Tony" will be at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition to delight the young- sters. The oldsters, too, will be enter- tained by the hero of the movies, who has quit the sliver screen for the cir- cus, and will bring his own three-ring show and "Wild West" to Toronto for the "Ex." • •â- â- Â»Â»â€¢ I i»«»*«>«»>>»>» Open 10 A.M. to • P.U.
