THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,--The chronology of this period of Israel's history has al- ways been exceedingly difficult, but it is now almost unanimously believed that the fall of Jericho took place approximately 1400 B.C. Therefore, the events of this book may be roughly dated as from 1400 to 1375 B.C, with a variation in either way of perhaps ten or twelve years. Place.--The first events of the book are located on the east side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho. The rest of the events took place on the west side of "the Jordan, . Joshua himself dying at Shechem. Joshua's Commission "Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Je- hovah, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel" When they crossed. the Jordan and entered: theipromised land, it was as though. they. were gaing out of an-antagonistic world where-- they did not belong into a land flowing with milk and honey, which was prothised to them of Q@d. ; : God's Gift To Israel "Bvery place that the: sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses." Hundreds, of times in the Word of God Palestine is designat- ed as the land "that I have given unto you." It is the only land that God ever gave any particular people and that gift has never been withdrawn, "ot "From . the wilderness, and this _ Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Luphrates, all the land _ of -the Hittites, and unto the great 'sea toward the going down of the sun, shall "be your border." boundaries here designated for Is- , rael's land were never reached "even in the most glorious period of Israel's history under Solomon. Promise of Victory "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of my life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Here is a glorious promise of the presence, of God, and because of His presence, of continual victory. God promised victory, but the vic- tory must be preceded by obedience and faith, As it was in a physical realm, so must it be in our spiritual conflict now, Secret of Strength "Be strong, and of good cour- age; . that thou mayest® have good success withersoever thou goest," The secret of strength and the guarantee of courage will be found in 'observing to do accord- ing .to all the law,' turning not from it to the right hand or to the left. "This: book of the law.shall not * depart out of thy mouth . . . for Jehovah thy "God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Medi- tation, the familiarizing ourselves with the ethics of Scripture, so that when crises or dangers come, perhaps unexpectedly, we shall be able to decide our conduct -- that . is essential to all successful Chris-: tian life.

Words "And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round , about, . . and ye shalli possess their land, as Jcliovah your| God spake unto you. Joshua in his last words under- takes a dual task, first to encour- age the Israclites to go on with the work which had been so 'mightily begun under his own < "The -in- his own life; leadership, and then-to warn them not to depart from the law of God, for if they did, God would surely bring defeat and disaster upon them, as He had told Moses long before.

Red Cross Storing Parcels In Geneva An extra 30,000 tons of parcels for British prisoners of war in Germany is to be stored in Geneva under: arrangements just: concluded by the International. Red. Cross Committee. The committee feared that, with the gradual breakdown of com- munications = throughout ~ Europe and the possibility of a general up- heaval when the Second Front op- ens, feeding arrangements for Bri- tish captives might be seriously affected. Consequently the Red Cross are accumulating huge stocks of par- cels at places where they can be rushed to Germany, [good or setting OTTAWA REPORTS That New Farm Loan Improve- ment Bill Would Provide Credit Up To $3,000 After its second reading, the new Farm Loan Improvement bill, aimed at providing credit facilities at reasonable interest rates for making permanent improvements, went to the Banking and Com- merce Committee at the end of the week. Tle proposed legislation = would provide for credit up to $3,000, ob- tainable from chartered banks at not more than 5% simple interest, and repayable up to a miximum of 10 years, in the case. of larger loans. It would bridge the gap be- tween loans made under the Farm Loan Board and siort term loans for seed, feed, etc, and is designed for the purpose of making impcove- ments such as purchase of agricul- tural implements or livestock; pur- chase or installation of agricuitural equipment or a farm electric sys- tem, or alteration or improvement of a system alrcaly installed: and for fencing, drainage or building. For these loans, it is proposed to require the chartered banks to take the kind of sccurity available to them under the Bank Act, the Minister of Finance explained, ex- cept in the case of larger loans for which special provision willl Fe made in the bill. Thus a loan for the purchase of a binder will be sccuied by a charge on the binder itself, and a loan for the a charge of both the movable and affixed parts of the system The Government would guarantee each bank loss up ta 109% of the aggregate amount of loans by it under the prescribed con- ditions, such guarantee to be ef- fective for a maximum of $2,500,000 ~of loans made within a period. of three years. + * * * i Conditions for the requeening of 'bee colonies are ideal during the wain honey flow, especially to- wards the latter part of it when the bees are busy in the field and will accept new queens nore readily than at any other time, ac- cording to C.

'Gleave Laying Hens Need Plenty Of Water Laying hens like a drink of good, -cool water. They need plenty of it for their health. With good health and good feed, and good, clean, fresh water, they will do their best job. Hens require water to soften the feed in their crops, to aid in carrying feed through the digestive canal and to dilute the various digestive juices. Lack of water will upset a hen's normal © functioning and will throw her out of production more quickly than shortage of feed, A hen drinks about twice as much" watér per 'unit of body- weight as to do other farm live- stock. A hen producing from 130 to 150 eggs will consume nearly 20 gallons of water. It is known that a bird will die from lack of water quicker than any other farm animal. Without water the lungs of a bird soon dry up and it soon dics. Then there is the water used in the production of eggs. Eggs are two-thirds water. 15,000 Moslems Join Yugoslav Partisans Nearly 15,000 Moslems now are fighting in the ranks of the Yugo- slavian Liberation army, a spokes- man for the Partisan mission in Italy reported recently, Streaming into liberated terri- tories from the occupied sections of Bosnia and Macedonia they have been placed in two al-Mos- lem: brigades and in some smgller detachments assigned to the vari- . ous corps of Marshal Josip Broz's (Tito) armies, They share supplies and equip- ment on an equal basis with other Partisan outfits, and their ability to travel swiftly and lightly has made them invaluable to the guerilla warfare being waged in many sections of the Yugoslav hinterland, The first" Moslem brigade was formetl four months ago and = it has particularly distinguished it- self in the Velika Kladusha sec tion of Western Bosnia, the spokesman said, RR CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM . . . . .
