Eph. 5:25, 28 is anâ€" other picture of him. â€" The Wife The picture of the ideal woman and wife presented in Proverbs 31 has many. points that belong to our, day as truly as to 25 centuries ago. The Children One of the most beautiful and inâ€" structive things in the character of Jesus was\ his love for children. There must have been something very attractive about Jesus in his personality, the beauty of his spirit, the charm of his conversation, the love he bore to all. It is no wonder that they came to him, and after the triumphal entry sang hosannas in his praise. the children, especially when' yofix;é. When they are grown up it is not so easy. The home should be the centre and source of every good influence, a lamp which can shed its light to those who are nearest, but also reaches around the world. The family is not perfect itsibest without the children. The returning caravan drew near to Isaac‘s home at Beerâ€"lahaiâ€"roi as Isaac was walking and meditating in the fields. When Rebekah learned that the man she saw was her beâ€" trothed husband, she lighted off the camel ‘"as a mark of respect, in acâ€" cordance with Eastern etiquette." The ideal family consists of three. divisions bound together with the closest of tiesâ€" stronger, more blessed, more powerful than any other human ties: The husband; the wife; the children. There are other things which can best be done by the united family. Family prayers together daily with They had no difficulty in underâ€" standing one another, for both spoke the Semitic tongue. Eliezer asked for a drink of water. She gave it, then offered to give drink to the ten camels, which was no small task. She was so courteous and gracious that Eliezer was captivated, and was sure that she was the ideal wife for Isaac; and he gave her in response, a gold ring, worth $4.85, and two gold bracelets, weighing ten Sshekels, worth about $97. â€" These were not a bridal gift, but a reward for the serâ€" vice rendéred, intended to excite inâ€" terest in the stranger, and. secure the good will of the maiden. The camels, servants and Eliezer were welcomed by Laban to the family home. Rebekah agreed to go to . Isaac, little as she knew of his character, â€"â€"for all that she did learn was fayâ€" orable. ® Having arranged for a sign, Rebeâ€" kah came out with her pitcher upon her shoulder, and the damsel was very fair to look upon.‘ The Sign The calvacade arrived at Haran and camped by a well in the â€" late afternoon, the time when the young women came to draw water. The caravan consisted of ten camels with their drivers and careâ€" takers.. They would need â€" these for the long journey of 500. miles_ from Beerâ€"lahaiâ€"roi in southern Palestine, where later Rebekah first met Isaac. The camels carried / rich presents, and gave the impression of the imâ€" portance of Abraham to those who otherwise could know almost nothâ€" ing about him. The largeness of the caravan would also be a defence against robbers and bands of wanâ€" dering Bedouin. Hence Abraham selected the eldâ€" est servant of his household and bade him to choose a wife for Isaac. it was entirely unfitting that he should marry into a heathen""family, and there were no other families of the worshippers of the true God_ in Palestine at that time. Isaac‘s career was almost devoid of incident. We find those refined, sensitive, pleasant, passive virtues which ‘make tender and helpful the home relations, and which are. the grace of all social intercourse. Isaac and Rebekah Abraham was rich and prosperous, the chief or sheik of a clan; and Isaac was the heir of Abraham, his wealth and power. The long delay in selecting a wife for Isaac was doubtâ€" less that as the heir of the promises, Characteristics U Isaac reveals human nature in a passive attitude. In,. passing from Abraham, to Isaac we seem to be passing from a mountain torrent to a peaceful pool. His birth, according to Professor Blaikie, was at Beersheba, 45 miles southwest of Jerusalem. His father was 100 years old at the time, and his mother was 90. Abraham‘s home at the time of this lesson was probably at . Beerâ€" sheba, southwest, of Hebron, or at Beerâ€"lahaiâ€"roi, 50 miles further to the southwest, where Isaac first met Rebekah. It was 500 miles from Haran. His nameâ€"‘"Laughter." Probably both Abraham and Sarah were full of joy at the promise of a son when they were old. Both laughed joyâ€" fully with thanksgiving, and their friends joined with them.

But, yielding such good returns as (the growing of grain does, other ‘crops that may be grown under irriâ€" gation are possibly still more profitâ€" able, and it seems reasonable to supâ€" ‘pose that in years to come the growâ€" ing of grain in districts where water is available will be to Some extent superceded to enable larger areas to be put into other crops. Land that will produce up to seven hundred bushels of potatoes, of a quality that brings the @best prices, on which peas, of the most desirable kinds, yielding forty to sixty busbels to the rcre are being grown. where sugar beets of high sugar conternt thrive. where pumpkins of enormous size Wheat, of course, is the dominant "crop there as it is in those areas of ‘Western Canada where irrigation is not practised. Oats, barley and flax are also grown extensively. The yields of all these grains compare |very favorably with those in any other‘ part of the west. Crops of ‘wheat this seeson that have been proâ€" perly irrigated are averaging thirtyâ€" five bushels to the acre. Some crops will thresh as high as forty bushels lor more to the acre. The yields of 'other grains are equally as good. Grain growing under irrigation ;brings ample returns to the farmer, especially when it is considered that uniform results may be looked for every year. ] HAT surprises a person most \X/ when travelling through the irrigated areas of Southern !Alberta is the wonderfiil veriety of <crops that can be successfully grown ‘there, their abundant yields, and their excellent quality. Wheat, oats, darley and flax, the standard crops of the Canadian West grow there and give as heavy yields as anywhere else on the continent. Alfalfa thrives as dt does nowhere else in Canada, and 4s literally making fortunes for its ‘growers. By the application of water the crops of clover and the many varieties of nutritious tame grasses are multiplied manifold. In the gardens vegetables of all kinds, including those that are associated with hotter climes, such as tomatoes, melons, squashes, grow in the open so wel as to indicate great possibiliâ€" ties in this direction. 1 ‘ THE POSSIBILITES OF IRRIGATION Wheat on one of the Vetsrans‘ Farms, near Tilley, Alberta and excellent flayor, cantaloupes, watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, penvers, to say nothing of giant cau‘iflowers and cabbages, early and late, and all varieties, carrots, tur nips, beets, all kinds of beans and many other vegetables flourish; and which produce the most delicious strawberries, raspberries, gooseâ€" berries. and other small fruitsâ€"this land will, no doubt, be used! to grow more of these things in the future, especially when labor conditions are such as to enable a more intensive system of farming to be followed. Then there are the fodder crops, of which alfalfa is the chief. Contrary to a widespread belief, it is not grain, not fruit growing, not truck gardenâ€" ing, but to the growth of fodder crops that the greater portion of the irriâ€" gable lands in the United States are devoted. The large yields of afalfa that are being obtained in Southern Alberta under irrigation assure this crop of an important place in the production of the farmer. who is able to utilize the water from the mounâ€" tain streams on his land. Not only are the yields of alfalfa large, but this crop also enriches the soil to such an extent that any other crop grown on the land after it has been Squash grown with Irrigation at Brooks, Alberta plowed up gives considerably, larger yields. It. makes nossible the dev?l- opment to the highest degree of the live stock industry. Horses, cattie. sheep and pigs all like it. Combined with oats, barley, the clovers and grasses which grow abundaitly in Southern Alberta, alfalfa enables the irrigation farmer to give his stock the best balanced food possible. He is thus able to get the most milk from his cows, the most wool from his sheep, and to haye his cattle, pigs and lambs ready for market in the earliest possible time. No wonder there is prosperity wherever alfalfa grows. The advantage to the farmer of a great diversity of crops cannot be too greatly emphasized. He is able to make his plans for the future with greater certitude. He can devote his chief attention to crops that remunâ€" erate him best. He is not greatly inâ€" fluenced by the fluctuations of the markets, and when any of his proâ€" ducts are down others are likely to be up. It thus makes for greater stabilization of his efforts, and asâ€" sures him of a regular and steady inâ€" come year after year.
