The discovery of other na- contain the principal groups of the world's popultaion, and that electricity is everywhere depended upon to improve or eliminate evil conditions rooted in congestion and characteristic of almost all ouch great centers, it becomes obvious that development of electrical power for manufacturing purposes on so tremendous a scale as is possible in Ontario must have great and far-reaching significance. The influence of electricity upon industry is illustrated at Niagara as nowhere'else in tho world. Niagara represents only enc link of Ontario's hydroelectric eyslem developed and contemplated for furnishing power to every section of the province. The greatest factor, however, in connection with the manufacturing outlook is the geographical situation of the province in the heart cf tho North American continent, with communication open to all markets from ports in the Great Lakes, the St. Lowrence and the seaboards of (Canada. In the face of all these conditions of business contact with other countries it is to be expected that Ontario will grow more and more rapidly upon the economic consciousness of the world.

Increased and varied investment of capital is broadening employment op-' portunities', and developing the power, r and" re- for absorbing the immigration flowing ich nickel into tie province from Britain and last dec- northern Europe.

Is Favorably Situated As indicating the favored geographical situation and natural advantages of the province it is well to remember that Ontario is practically the only part of North America to-day where wine grapes are grown and commercial wins-making is carried on upon a large scale. Tobacco, corn, sugar beets, peaches and all varieties of fruit j produced in the temperate North America are outstand ' in this province. The appeal of the land to tourists and sportsmen has received widespread attention withnn the past ten years. The main transcontinental line of the Canadian National Railways brings the lover of summer or winter open spaces into close presence of his quest, whether sport, Ihe chasefl or ev-ploration of primeval nature.

David 8pares Saul, 1 Sam. Chapter 26.* Golden Text--Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.--Rom. 12; 21. ANALYSIS. I. saul's jealous pursuit of david Ickel, gold, i h_.o already assumed proportions, of high rank among the. mineral producing regions of the world. A value of $CO,0CO,000 represented by twelve months' production of the metals named, marks Ontario as a land of treasure destined to assume the leadership of the world in regard to some, at least, of the most important min-wals. Of nickel, Ontario possesses practical world monopoly. Ontario ranks, third among gold-producing countries. The fact that gold, silvi and other valuable minerals are d posited through all the pre-Cambrlan formation stretching across tire province would imply that mate future of the mining industry cannot es yet be possibly estimated. Pulp and Paper The -pulp and paper industry of On- 3 has taken away from the lumber trade the spectacul; part at least of the harvest of the provincial forests. Captial to the amount of $200,000,000 is Invested in the processing of pulp and pudpwood. The production of lumber and paper are assured in perpetuity by a farsee-Ing conservative policy undertaken by thg Government. K" The gross annual value of Ontario's manufactured products has attained a flgure of ^proximately $1,600,000,000. The urban tendency is not as" obviously toward the creation of large centres of population as in other countries. Toronto, which holds a place among the big cities of the continent and cf the world, got its business impetus early in the home manufacturing movement, and is a city to be regarded highly according to all civio standards. New Industrial Era Near Eut Ontario stands on the threshold of a new Industrial era, a fact that Increasing numbers of manufacturers both of the United States and Europe are recognizing. When it is remembered that coal producing countries Ontario offers many and varied opportunities for contract with world activities, and Ontario born people are to be found in every part of the world. At home our people have realized a high standard of living upon reasonable terms of economic equality as between classes. Economic pressure, fundamental in character, may be somewhere in the very remote future, but it is nowhere proximate. Capital investment upon an enlarging scale can open up so many additional uea of employment that the future is looked forward to without unrestricted optimism to find ten or even twenty millions of people provided for in great comfort in this richly endowed Province of Ontario The spirit of the old settlers was fine, and Is preseved by their descendants. The generosity with which education in all its branches is provided for is perhaps the best testimony of this spirit. Laws are mild and reasonable. The people of Ontario have in p of fact a great deal of work laid out for them, and will welcome all comers ligibie for participation in a task of high service to the industry and « of the world in the years Capt. Harry H. Blrkholm wired General Steamship Corporation officers in San Francisco yesterday as follows: Freighter Alaska's captain, E. L.

For a time he sought refuge among the Philistines, then in the vale of Elah and the cave of Adullam, about twelve miles southwest of Bethlehem. There his father and brothers and other kinsfolk joined him, "and every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto could have shown him." He now appears as captain of ( false were Saul's suspicions, and how a band of outlaws, mbout four him-! false the accusations which David's d-ed men.

The night visit of David and Abishai to Saul's camp was a daring adventure. To have been caught would have meant death for both. It is difficult to understand why no watch was kept and no sentries posted, but Abner evidently had no idea that David and his men were eo near and felt himself quite secure. (See David's taunt in v. 15.) It has been said that "at the camping ground of the Bedouin Arabs, a spear stuck in the ground outside the entrance distinguishes the tent of the. ver"&iori ofthis sheikh. There may have been a! similar reason for the spear at Saul's bolster, that is, at his head, as a symbol of rank and authority. David's nephews, the sons of Zeru-lah (2 Sam. 2:18), were fighting men, who proved their courage ana their loyalty to him many times over. It seemed now to Abishai the right and proper thing to smite the sleeping enemy whom God had delivered into their hand, v. 8. But David was than a mere soldier.- He was actuated by a higher motive. To hii Saul was the Lord's anointed, chose and set apart by God to be Israel king. The Lord shall spite him, h said, but he himself would not lift up his hand against the king.

Of such en ouering would have the significance of a prayer, and would represent an approach to God. David's instinctive feeling is right that through such approach in sacrificial offering and prayer to God the trouble could be removed, reconciliation effected, and friendship restored.

David's taunting speech must have David and his men were hiding, has i been very annoying to Abner, who been identified with a ridge east of ~" Ziph and overlooking the Dead Sea. David's spies kept him informed of Saul's movements, and in that wild and rugged country it was easy for unoer cover of the night, to approach Saul's camp unseen. The story tells us that Saul lay in the trench, meaning within the circle of wagons which formed a barricade about the camp. Abner, the captain of his host, appears to have been Saul's cousin, ch. 14:50, 51, Rev. Ver. Margin. Abishai, Moab's brother, who was with David, was David's nephew, his sister's son (see 1 Chron. 2: 13-16). clearly very much to b.li keeping so careless a guard over the person- of his royal master. Saul's better nature is touched as he listens and learns what has happened. His former affection for David revives. Why, indeed, David asks, does he pursue him so relentlessly? Either it is the Lord's doing, and if so let an offering be made to appease his anger, or it is at the instigation of men, of whom he says;, Cursed be they before the Lord. Nothing meaner or more wicked, indeed, can be conceived than the slanderous accusations of such men. It is quite according to the ideas of those times, however, to be- War On Rust Ey Aviation Planned Over Prairies Winnipeg--War on rust has been declared by the Dominion Government and serious operations have com- . _ menced at Portage la Prairie. shot of filler.

"A Tapestry has the same characteristics and is made by the sarao method as a velvet, and like it has all of the yarn on the surface.
