And if "Canaan" indeed was a land flowing with milk and honey then Canada is much more so for it flows not only with milk and honey but the wealth of her mines, forests and lakes are inexhaustible. Cansan is only a tiny spot of land compared with Canada which stretches across a vast conti. nent from the Atlantic to the Pacific with resources such as were undreamt of in Canaan. Canaan in her heyday occupied a most strategic place, she it was that interpreted the East to the West 'and gave us the vast blessings that, we now enjoy. Canada to-day occupies a most otis tegic point and offers tothe world, in her vast territory, opportunities unexcelled at any time in the history of mankind, It was Sir Wilfrid Laurier with his prophetic vision, who coined the slogan: "The Nine- teenth Century Belongs to America, The Twentieth Belongs to Canada". The resources of Canada are just be- ing unfolded before our wondering gaze. The origin) inhabitants of Canaan were not Jews but the land was hand- ed over to the Jews on condition that they observed certain precepts and be- cause they fell down in their duty they lost their inheritance. We are just emerging from a de- pression such as the world never knew before. These hard times are sent to guide us as light houses shedding their beacon lights across the waves. Wise men heed the warning and take good care not to be caught napping the second time, if they can avoid it. Others forget immediately the effects of the lesson have passed and like the Prodigal "spend their substance in riotous living." The conditions of success to the early Jews were these: "Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before thy God." Had the Jews heeded the Diyine Voice they never would have been scattered into every nation under the sun and for centuries treated as the scum of the earth. To-day a great promise is held out to us to enjoy an unbounded pros- perity and for everyone of us to dwell under his own fig tree and to enjoy the fruits of our industry none daring to make us afraid. Do you wish to 'live long in this land. which the Good Lord has given you? All reply in the affirmative. If you would give to your Maker of-your time, your service and your substance He will make your way. prosperous. How much time did you give Him in His House last Sunday,' and all the other Sundays during the past year? What are you doing to improve the spiritual conditions of your commun- ity? What have you given during the past year to support His cause? There are none of fis but who wish our children to grow up to be God fearing men and women, we may be a little careless about #piritual matters ourselves but is there a man or wom- an who does not desire the best for the young folks? You were bequeath- ed a glorious heritage by your parents spiritually and materially, what are you going to do about it? One had a talent to make the most of before his employer left for a far country, and because it was not more he hid his talent in the earth. What are you doing with yours? You may not have much, but what you have make the most of, and do not go and bury it in the earth. Leave this old earth a better place for your having lived there, and we shall have no more complaints about 'empty churches, of low spiritual con- ditions in our communities, nor need one be afraid of another devastating 'depression for like the one we read of in the Good Book who dwells under the Shadow of the Almighty, it shall not come nigh thee. --Com, J ° Women's Institute CONVENTION REPORT (Continued from front: page) be taken up there had been a wonder- ful interest shown in it by the dif- ferent branches. She had received 63 reports, some were following the work of the League of Nations closely, others were compiling scrap books of information on the subject, other branches were reading books on peace and carrying on correspondence with women in other parts of the Empire. Some of the papers pointed out that we are indebted to foreign nations for the best in music that has been given us, Mrs. J. M. McCullough, Brampton, gave a very interesting report on Can- adian Industries and Agriculture, She said one should visit manufacturing' plants, such as the starch works at Port Credit, or the Dale Estate at Brampton, also one could do much in beautifying oir farms by having or- derly gardens, by preserving and pro- tecting wild flowers and when plant- ing trees one should plant mountain ornamental.

Mrs. J."M. Abbott of Erin, convener on education, sai that many branches were 'taking up courses in English literature and having travel talks on the various countries of the world. Members of other branches were ap- preciating more fully each year that education broadens, deepens and re- fines human life and that it makes for better homes and happier living. Dr, Duncan McArthur, Deputy Minister of Education, stressed the point that our system:of education in hundred schools with an attendance of ten, which is a great disadvantage to th children, as otherwise a great deal comes from the association with other boys and girls in the rubbing together of their-minds-and-the habits of co-operation.which they develop on the play grounds.
