Which is but another way of say- ing, what has been repeated ten "housand times, that the most con- temporaneous book in the world, and the one that best expresses the ex- perience of every individual and gen- eration, is the Bible. A thoughtful person can get more light upon the world's present perplexities from ra- viewing the history of the Hebrew nation, as the Sunday Schools have studied it for the past year, than from a careful reading of the aver- age newspaper, This wonderful book is always a present lamp for the traveller's fee', A review is a long look backward. It is an opportunity to consider things in the large, Old-fashioned Sunday School teachers often try to confine themselves to verse-by verse moraliz- ings upon the assigned poriion of Scripture, Thus they miss the larger meanings of Holy writ. Here we have the whole of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel in review; and we find that the story is fraught with deepest gignificance '0 our own dark day. The review should stiffen the moral backbone of everyone who truly studies it; for as we read of the Hebrew people we find the analogy of history pressing close to our own land.

It is easier to discern in the story of the Jews than in the perplexities of today the paramount truth that the times are moving steadily toward some definite goal. Even when affairs seem most muddled, they are really geiting somewhere, And nobody is prepared to" think intelligently about his own or any other period who does not believe that "Through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are wid- en'd with 'he process of the suns." This year of our Lord, 1922, sorely needs men and women who will "see life clearly and see it whole." Our +} thinking must be in larger units, The mind for the times js an Internation- al mind. The best preparation for a grasp of the welter of any one of the groups of current Old World prob- lems--say the Near East situation-- is a clear apprehension of what took place around the Mediterranean in the times of the Bible. 'Phe reader of Wells' Outline of History is in a mood to realize that the Mfe of a na- tion has vast and moving significance.

ROL us to see straight as we confront our own difficult day, Things are not "happening" in our bewildering generation any more than in the time of Israel. A Bover- eign Will is at work. Vast designs are being wrought out. We see only a small part of the pattern, and us- ually the reverse side, but it will in the end be beautiful. The Master Workman wants us to co-opera'e with him; but either by our help or despite us, His purposes will be ac- Best, and Second Best. This would be a good time to play 4 game of "supposing."

Ellie. fashion of having a king over them; would the day of world democracy have been hastened by centuries? Suppose Prince Rehoboam had not been a vain young fool, listening to the "hard" advice of courtiers as shallow-brained as himself, would the united nation have succumbed to Assyria and Babylonia or would it have grown into imperial greatness? Suppose the succession of Hebrew kings had been brave enough and big enough and loyal enough to keep the faith that made them a nation instead of wandering off into the sensuality of heathenism would the Jews have won their "world to the worship of Jehovah? Suppose the prophets had been heard and heeded, and that the time had obeyed its highest truth, how many centuries would have been sav- ed In the world's religious develop- ment? Who dares to estimate the many-sided loss to the world of men's aflure to be true to their loftiest per- ceptions? Suppose that even after the exile the Jews had been united in loyalty to a noble ideal of their nation's mis- sion and faith; would the restoration of the people to the Land of Promise have bad larger, sublimer results? For though a large group of the dis- persed came back from captivity, the Jews never again really became a na- tion, comprehending the bulk of their race. Suppose, finally, that the Messiah had been accepted by the Jews; what would have been the probable effect upon the character of the Children of Abraham, and upon their place in history since? Bent On Brotherhood, "The one far-off, divine event, Toward which the whole creation moves' Is the acceptance everywhere of the beautiful will of God and the estab- lishment of a new era of human brotherhood and happiness. Through the centuries of old Israel's history may be traced the presence and per- sistence of this purpose; even as in all the ages since. The Heavenly Father's principal concern with the human race is to shape it into the family likeness. He wants good wil! and peace and justice and happiness more than any reformer or prophe'. Only the depth of His desire can ac- count for His with us. There is an increase of reckless talk upon current social questions; and it is timely to declare that our best human aspirations take their rise from the Holy Scriptures. Not is the place where the great promise for the race has its spring. The voices that are clearest in heralding the new day are Christian voices. The pulpits of the world are resounding with appeals for justice, righteousness and broth- erbood. The line of God's prophets has not been broken. It is Christian hymns that best express the world's deepest hope, Christian literature is vibrant with the social message. Last Bunday we sang in church, from the Presbyierian Hymnal. Dr. Louis F. Benson's song of "Brother- hood," one stanza of which compre- hends what all prophets of the dawn are trying to say: "Who ahares his life's pure pleasures, And walks the honest road, Who trades with heaping measures, And lifts his brother's load, Who turns the wrong down bluntly, And lends the right a hand: He dwells in God's own colintry, He tills the Holy Land." After nine months spent in study- ing the decline and collapse and part-' fal restoration of the Jewish nation, we find just one clear, compelling word for our own era. Keep Faith With God. Loyalty to Jehovah, and to his word, is the only way of de- liverance, for nations as for individ- required build and maintain sturdy strength 3 3 'and robust health, is a complete food for body and nerves --a delicious 'luncheon or supper treat. exhaustless patience | DAILY BRITISH WHIG. 1847 ROGERS BROS.

Dutch Engineers Are Now at War With Nature. A wonderful engineering feat is | being carried out in Holland. It is nothing less than an attempt to re- claim a large portion of the Zuider Zee, ! Where at present fishermen sink | their nets there will rise villages, | poplar-bordered roads, and sleepy | canals, and new farms and homes for thousands of people. i Holland has always been at war | with the sea. More than a third of | <he total area of the kingdom lies | below sea-level, and would be flooded were it not for its dykes and sand dunes. | Indeed, the Zuider Zee itself is al result of the bursting of the dykes. | This happened in the thirteenth cen- | tury, and, in addition te Holland be- ing cut in two, and Friesland being | separated from the rest of the eoun- | try by a large sheet of water, hun- | dreds of villages were submerged and | about 80,000 persons were drowned. | Dutch engineers are building a | great dam, or embankment, across | the northern end of the sea, from | Wieringen, in North Holland, to | Plaam, in Friesland. It will Late a | length of about fifteen miles, and | will carry a double-line railway and | road for ordinary traffic, thus afford- | ing a more easy access between | North Holland and Friesland. Com- | munication with the North Sea will! be maintained by thirty-three large sluice gates and a couple of locks for shipping. Within the embankment four, areas, known as the northwestern: southwestern, northeastern, and southeastern, are to be drained and reclaimed. It will result in adding 827 square miles, an area almost as large as the county of Cornwall, to Holland. The construction of the embank- ment alone is expected to occupy nine years, and a sum ot $75,000,000. | | { How to Get a House. ; Look into almost any pool upon the rocky parts of the beach and you will see winkle and whelk hells scuttling about with amazing activ-| ity. None of the little snails that built the shells could move so rapidly. As a matter of fact, the original builder has in almost every case been devoured by the present tenant of the house. The cousins of the hermit crab are provided by nature with a solid armor Plating for their bodies, but he pos- sesses a long soft tail which has no | Protectisn, and for this reason he is regarded by most fish as a delicacy. His only hope is to find some un- suspecting whelk, whose shell will do admirably as a protection for his tail. His long claws 'enable him to haul out the shellfish, and having dined on the late tenant he proceeds to occupy his house, into which he in- serts his unprotected tail. It you look at a hermit crab, you | will notice that one of his claws is | larger than the other. This arrange- ment provides him not only with al deadly "right" in battle, but also | with a ready-made front door for his |- stolen house. When he retires into | the shell the big claw is used to close the entrance so that no other house- hunter can eviet him. ---------- Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted. During the holiday months many people wonder what they may and | may not do in the way of crossing | land or rowing on rivers. Notice | boards warn them that trespassers | will be prosecuted. As a matter of fact, most of these | boards are quite meaningless if you | do no damage. To cross another man 's| field or park is no crime in the eyes | of the law, provided that you do not break down fences or trample upon growing crops. In any case you ean- not be prosecuted for merely walking on private land; all that the owner can do is to sue you for any damage You may have done. If he meets you and threatens you, consent to withdraw, and offer ten cents as compensation for the havoe you have wrought. If this is done no prosecution will follow. When crossing private property, be careful to close gates after you. It, in consequence of your ecareless- ness, sheep or cattle stray and do damage to crops, you may be held lable and made to pay. There is a right of way up and down all tidal rivers, but that does not mean that you may loiter. It you moor your boat to the bank you may become a trespasser. ------------ Ping-Pong. : Nobody seems to know who invent. ed the game of ping-pong. i It is sald to have been first played forty years ago in an Oxford stu- dent's rooms, where two young men started to play it with cigar-box lids for bats, "corks for balls, and a row of books for a net, They invented the rules as they went "long.
