But if there is a loving God, Miss Clemens, I want to know it definitely!" "And you may know," answered Migs Clemens, "Do you remember that the Lord promised Abraham that his seed should be as the stars of heaven in number? Abraham was like you; he wanted to be sure, and he said, 'Whereby shall I know? God sald he should prepare a sacrifice, just as if he were going to make a covenant with a friend. "Abraham prepared the sacrifice and divided it into halves; according to the custom, the contracting parties would pass between the divided sacrifice in token of agreement. Abraham solemn- { ly passed between, but God did not ap- pear to seal the covenant on his side. Abraham waited all day, and as the vultures swooped down he patiently drove them away, It was not till even- ing that he saw the smoking furnace, the symbol of God's presence, passing between the sacrifices and heard a voice say, 'Know of a surety.' "Human nature hasn't changed much since Abraham; we still want to know. But if we expect to get the assurance that Abraham' got, we must do as he did, faithfully perform our part of the covenant and wait for God to perform his." x "It seems to me I have tried," said Marion. "Yes, but remember that all day Abraham stood and drove away the vultures. It may seem to you'a long, dreary time that you are forced to stand. and drive away the 'mocking 'vultures of doubt, but that is your t of the covenant. And perhaps in most' unexpected manner and at the most. ected time you will see God passing 'ween the sacrifices. But be.sure that He will! There can be no shadow of doubt about it. many earnest souls have proved Him; too many. patient waiters have heard his voice out of the' darkness saying, 'Know of a surety.'" "I knew you could help me," sald Marion as she rose to go. "I'll keep driving away, the vultures." refi MONEY ORDERS. Send a Dominion Express Money Order.

A certain percentage of the output of the fish hatcheries of the Depart. ment of Marine and Fisheries, Canada, is marked each year for the 'purpose of gaining some definite information with regard to the life history of the fish and the number that come to maturity. This marking is principally confined to the anadromous species that is those that ascend rivers to spawn, such as the Atlantic salmon of the eastern provinces and the sockeye salmon of the Pacific. Every year a proportion of the par ent Atlantic salmon, from which the eggs are obtained for the hatcheries in the Maritime Provinces, is marked, after they are stripped, of their eggs and milt and before they are liberated, by attaching a numbered silver tag to 'the d 1 fin.

Among the many woes of China is a revival of the opium evil Great Britain agreed to prevent opium from being sent into China if China would suppress the culture of the poppy and desist from making opium at home. For a time China did discourage and greatly reduce the home production, but when Indian opium céased to be a competitor and anarchy spread over the country the laws were relaxed, and many of the provincial govern- ments actually encouraged, and in some provinces required, the cultiva- tion of the poppy for the revenue they derived from it. Now, it is reported, the crop in China is nearly as large as it was before there were any re- strioctions, and because of the official indifference the use of the drug has increased to an alarming extent. The production is reported to be enormous and the demand "limitless." ---- Washing machines which can cleanse 850 shirts at once are mnow| being made.
