A. Brant, fellow in geophysics at tho University of Toronto, and a party of sélentists. Equipped with magnetic, electric and gravitation. al devices, they have prospected the field and estimated its poten: tiality at 250,000,000 tons or more. Assays of oro have shown it to equal the finest produced by Swe- den. Of different chemical composi. tion, the Ontario ore is considered far easier to refine.

Much pt it has gone to buy real estate, some for securities, some for shares fi businesses, some in the banks, and a part probably has been buried in back yards and flower ' pots. 4 Heated Sand Best _, On Icy Highways Ontario's new system of reduce ] ing the hazard of icy highways was explained to an interprovin-- cial conference on highways call- d Roads * association by Hon, T, B!

It penetrates 'the icy surface and provides a safe surface for auto: * mobiles. . ' T LESSON VI HABAKKUK FIGHTS THROUGH DOUBT TO FAITH - : Habakkuk Prihted Text, Hab. 1:12--2:4 Golden Text: "The righteous shall live by his faith," Hab, 2:4, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The date for the writing . of this book cannot be determined with finality; some place it is as early as 630 B.C, and some as lalo as 500 B.C. The exact year of its composition does not in any vital way determine the interpretation of tho book. . Place -- Jerusalem, 7 "In this lesson we find rich mater- ial to illuminate the great truth of the ultimate victories of God's eter nal purposes, and from the lesson wo should see in a new and clearer way how it is not each day's occur- -ences, nor eich year's events that are final in God's plan, but that®all the events of life, the whole history of a nation, the entire courge of the' ages, are finally made to fulfill the eternal purposes of God, TET The name Habakkuk-comes from a Hebrew root meaning "to "em- brace". Practically nothing Is known of this prophet and his life. At the time Habakkuk was writing this book, Jeholakim was probably on the throne of Judah, This King's selfish Juxury and oppressive exac- tions are sharply contrasted by Jer- emiah with his father's upright con- duct and just administration. The Chaldeans during this period were in their full career of conquest. COMING TRIBULATION The! book opens with a dialogue 2 between the prophet and God, Ha- bakkuk contemplates with dismay the reign of lawlessness around him in Judah. Long and earnestly has he pled with God to interpose, but no answer has come. Then at last Jehovah appears to answer. The Lord announces his purpose to raise up the Chaldeans to chastise Israel for her disoblence and her iniqui- ties, and he herve calls on the pro- phet, and through him, his people, to understand the deeper meaning of the tribulation which_ig immed- jately before them, The Arid --were "to bé the justrument in the hands of God to mete out judgments to the Jews and humble them, as well as other nations. HABAKKUK'S GREAT "PROBLEM - : Hab. 1:13. Art. not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy Qne? we shall not die, O Je-™ hovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou,~-O Rock, hast established him for correction. 13; Thou that art of purer eyes than "to behold evil, and that canst. not look on perverseness, wheyefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and Loldest thy own peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous "than he} 14. and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15. He taketh up all of them with the, angle, he catcheth them In his net, and gathereth them in his drag; therefore he rejoiceth ang is glad. 16, Therefore he sacrificeth _ unto hig net, and burneth ineense unto his d¥ag; because by them his portion is fat,-and his food plent- . eous. 17. Shall he therefore empty his net,"and spare not to slay the nations. continually? The prophet's dilemma: allowing that the Chald- cans wero an agent in the hands of God for the punishment of unbeliev-" ing and sinful Israel, the prophet asks how God can allow them vic. tories that result in their rejoicing over; sorrow and suffering of God's own. people, and In the cohfirmas tion of the Chaldeans in thelr idol- atrous practices. Why does not Ged interfere? JEHOVAH'S ANSWER 1. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and ~ will look forth to see what ho will 'speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint, 2. And Jehovah answercd me, and sald, write the vision, and make ft* plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth ft. 3. For the vl slon is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not live; though ft tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay. Much that Habak- :kuk here sees In vision will not take "place until the end of this age, 4. Behold, bis soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his own faith, This verse gives briefly. the ultimate answer to the problems which Habakkuk brought before the Lord. The Chaldean is here do scribed as one whose soul is pufted up -- self-centred, and therefore - doomed; the true bellever contin. ues to live by Taith, is God-centred, "and therefore permanent. "Falth™ to the prophet meant more than a simple trust; It conveyed the idea of a temper which trust produces, namely faithfulnéss, steadfastness, firmness, persistency, endurance, _ patience, even loyalty. And "life" to Habakkuk meant not mere na: tional prosperity, but moral secur. ity, even in the midst ot calamity. A living faith determines destiny: abfding fn 'life and surviving in judgment, .

Cropping Old Sod Late In Springtime To extend the area in grain production, many -atres of old sod, notably -in the Maritime Province. es, were broken up last fall, For success, and especially with bar.

Rolling will help to make a firm seed bed, Need Fine Seed Bed The growing of -barley should be limited usually to land culti: vated in the rotation, where a fine sced bed' for this shallow- "rooted, quick growing cereal can be more easily procared. Oats or spring wheat are more likely to thrive well on the newly broken sod, and these are sown earlier than barley. Spring is lgte; but this handi- cap may be largely overcome by a fairly liberal use of the right fer. tilizer which will promote rapid, vigorous growth of the crop. The choice of the fertilizer will depend on conditieas, but it should con- tain ample phosphate and potash and an amount of readily avail- able nitrogen sufficient to give the crop a smart kick-off, Armor Urged For Soldiers sicts #o*~1 Surg -~n -- Plat: ing an Chest Kenneth Wajaer, Horley Streot (London, England) surgcon, and a captain in the R.ADMC, in the first Great War, wants to sce troops in the trenches provided with armor plating on the chest, which would "save the lives of many," Large numbers of men died dur ing 1914-1918 as the result of being hit in the chest by tiny fragments oi gremmdes or shells, he tire "British Medical Journal."
