Gasoline is a very handy article for several 'purposes, but, like fire, it is a good servant but a bad master. Judging by the way some of its users treat it, especially for cleaning' purposes; the wonder is that it has not caused many more deaths and injuries than it has. One very common practice is to use it for removing spots from clothing or rugs, by the simple process of rubbing the spot until it disappears. The worse the spot, the harder the rub, never, apparently, knowing or her growth is i : " par wo hope) A Nn Joist Edwin B.

Have you ever noticed the chains trailing under the lem, Here we find the anger of these opponents réaching its highest pitch. "And they conspired all of them to- gether to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein," The sudden arrival of hcs- tile forces outside Jerusalem did cer- tainly cause confusion, "But we made our prayer unto our God." Note here the plural pronouns. Hitherto there had been a melancholy solitariness about the 'earnest devo- tion of Nehemiah. The success of his misson began to show itself when the citizens began to participate in the same spirit of devotion, "And set a watch against them day and night, because of them." Certainly prayer did not make these people carelss. Men who first speak to God and manifest dependénce upon him are generally found to be those who make the wisest use of "every available and honorable source for bringing about those things concerning which God has-revealed his will, "And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known un- to us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us tg the wall, every one unto his work." God has brought the counsel of the enemy to nought through the precautionary measures |. now taken by - Nehemiah, and the enemy apparently abandoned their in- tention of making immediate attack. "And it came .to pass.from that. time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the ehields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah." We should gather from this verse that only In the,case of Nehemiah's personal attendants was there still an {insistence upon arms being carried while the work of building went on. "Laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon, And the builders, every one has his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me." Nehemiah had kept oversight of the entire under. taking. -- "And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest. of the people, The work fs great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far. from another." "In what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us." "So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appear- Even though Nehemiah had made elaborate plans for the defence Here's model with a very modern look, a very that will man, for this dress, :harmingly young.

Ridgetown 'Principat Declares More Interest Should Be Taken In Rural High Schools The necessity iv, a new deal for the rural high schools in Ontario was advocated the other day before the Chatham Rotary Club by Mr. J. H. Edwards, principal' of the. Agricul- tural High School of Ridgetown, ob- serves the Toronto Mail and Empire. The high schools of the rural dis- tricts, he declared, are lagging and 'are entitled to more publice interest than they are receiving, The curri=™ culum has been practically unchang- ed for fifty years, despite the fact that conditions are vastly different than a half-century ago, requiring different means of training the minds of pupils, whose lives will be spent on the farms. Then, too, he stated 45 per cent. of the students in rural schools do not attend the secondary -schools. Being interested in agriculture they, remain on the farms. I'or higher education that would more Tully equip them for agricultural life they should be able to look to the rural high school. The curriculum has not, however, been so adapted. To emphasize this fact, he said the at- tendance at thé Agricultural.
