Short Course in Agriculture CLUBBING LIST. The Durham County Branch of the Ontario Ontario Department of Agriculture is arranging arranging to hold their third annual course in Agriculture in the Town Hall, Mill- brook, from January 19 to February 20, 1914. In previous years this course has been held in the Port Hope High School. The Advisory Agricultural Committee deemed it wise to hold the course in some other centre than Port Hope. This year Millbrook has been selected. Another year most likely the course will be held in West Durham. This course is intended intended for farmers' sons ranging in age from 15 to 30 years. A comprehensive and practical programme has been prepared. It is hoped a large number of young men will avail themselves of this opportunity. No fees, no examinations. The only expense expense is for board and railway fare for those coming from a distance. Calendars and application forms maybe obtained upon request. R. S.

When the Israelites were wandering wandering through the wilderness to the promised land they encountered all sorts of vicissitudes. Day after day they were brought face to face with privations and disasters, un- 1 ;il it seemed as though flesh and flood could endure no more. What shall we do ? they cried. Whereupon Whereupon "the congregation" divided, in answer to this question, into three distinct and mutually antagonistic antagonistic parties. First, there were the people who looked back to the good old days in Egypt and clamored to return. They had been in slavery in those days, to be sure, but they had had plenty to eat and had been secure from the perils of trackless wastes and the attacks of unknown enemies. enemies. "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt," they said, "when we did eat bread to the full, for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Set up the Golden Calf. Next there were the people who, at the end of each day's journey, were well content and desired therefore to go no further. The manna and quails were abundant, the water gushing "from the rocks was sweet and the heavenly portents portents seemed propitious. * "This _ is the promised land," they said. "Let us remain right here !" It was this party, we may believe, which set up the golden calf at. the foot of Mount Sinai and worshipped at the" new made shrine. , Lastly, there were the _people, few in number but mighty in courage courage and spiritual insight, who were willing neither to return nor. to remain remain but insisted - always upon pushing ahead. They realized that they were wandering in a;n,unfamii- iar country and were) beset by the perils of the desert-and its savage inhabitants. But they also realized realized that- to return to Egypt witi to" go back to bondage, to stay here' at the night's encampment was to remain remain in a perpetually insecure position, position, and that, above all things else, to dp either of these things was to miss the promised land.
