Lesson Vll.-â€"First Quarter. For Feb. 14, 1915. Text of the Lesson. I 8am. iii, 1-13. 19. Text, I Sam. iii. Hemmentary Pre- pared by Rev. D. M. Steal-no. What a specially great leason this in for boys. with something for every one. young and old. In all Scripture there is a message from the heart of God to each individual heart that reads. It is true always, as in the laét verse of our lesson chapter. that the Lord reveals Himself by His word. The Scriptures are the revelation of God to man. and the Lord Jesus Christ isthe Living Word. in whom we see the Father, even as He said. “He that hath 8681! Me hath seen the Father" 4.1mm xiv, 9). Our lesson opens with Samuel ministering unto the Lord. See also chapter il, 11. 18. This is not the word which is transmted to ”minister in the priest’s office." but the 'word to serve or minister." as when Joshua ministered to Meses (Ex. xxxiii. 11:.losh. i. ll. Even a child (-an serve Him who came not to be ministered unto. but to minister (Matt. xx, 28}. May we al- ways be able to say from the heart. “Whose I am and whom i serve." and .count it our highest privilege to minis- ter unto Him (Acts xxvii.23; Luke viii. 3; Dan. vi, 16). in the revised version the words “precious" and "open" are in the margin “rare” and “frequent." and the meaning probably is that any special message from the Lord was of rare occurrence or it had been some time since He had spoken. The book of Judges'ended with every man doing right in his own eyes {xxh 233i. and now Eli. the priest of the tabernacle, which was then at Shiloh (i, 3; Josh. xviii. 1. 10). was somewhat out of fel- lowship. for he mistook broken heart. ed. praying Hannah for a drunken wo- man and did not control his own sons. honoring them above God. so that a man of God had to come. to him with a reproof and a warning (1. 12-16; ii. 27-36). Before we consider the call of Samuel 1 In our lesson let us look at the circnm ! stances of his birth. His father. 81-. kanah. seems to have been a devout“ man. going up from year to year toi worship and to sacrifice unto the Lordé of hosts in Shiloh (i, 3). But he hadE two wives. which was contrary to? God‘s original arrangement and al-‘ ways brought trouble. Hannah. who, had no children. was continually; taunted by the other. her adversary,: provoked sore and made to fret and! grieve (i, 4-8). Her refuge was prayen‘ unto the Lord. and He heard her and. gave her this son Samuel (1. 10-20). She called him Samuel because she asked God for him (i. 20. margin). and when she had weaned him she took him to Shiloh to serve the Lord in the tabernacle with Eli. visiting him from year to year when she went up to worship and taking him a little coat (i, 2-1-28: ii. 18. 19). The Lord abundantly rewarded her for the gift of her firstborn. for He gave her five others. three sons and two daughters (ii. 20. 21L So Samuel grew before the Lord and was in fa. vor both with the Lord and also with men. and the Lord was with him. and an Israel knew that he was establish- ed to be a prophet of the Lord (ii. ‘21, 26). How beautifully the Lord did bless the buy who was dedicated to Him even before his: birth. and now grandly He did reward his mother and cause her to forget her misery and sing' for joy! Her 36113; in chapter 11. 1-10, whivh is also called a prayer. is one of the most bpautiful on Recurd. Retm-ning-to our lesson story. we read that one night, or perhaps toward the dawn (verses 2; 3. 1?». Samuel heard some one call him. and. suppos- ing it to he Eli. he ran to him. but. on being assured that Eli had not called him. he lay down again. The second time he heard his name and went again to Eli. but was assured as be- fore. Not until he heard his name the third time and for the third time went to Eli With the words: “ Iere am I" did Eli perceive that the Lord was calling the child. Then‘he said to him. “If you are called again say, ‘Spenk. Lord. for thy servant heareth.” For the fourth time the I.nrcl~ called him and this time mentioned his name twiceâ€"- “Samuel, Samuel.” l have found only seven people in the Bible who were thus addressed. and there must be some significance In it. whether we can see it or not. v-w- As iii of the earth excavated he- Itween Thorold and Lake Ontario is ' to be disposed of in service ground l ! .' l a ’. ’a t a l fills to form the harbor in the lake, the Government has built a double track, standard gauge construction railway, seven miles in length, be- tween these points for the purpose of transporting this material; and for the purpose of hauling stone ex- cavated and crushed at the site of the flight looks -in Thorold, to the other lock sites for the making of concrete to be used in the building of the locks. This railway has been equipped with a complete interlock- ing plant and train-despatching sys- tem, and it is expected that for the next few years it will be one of the busiest roads in the Dominion. Welland Waterway Will Cost Fifty Millionsâ€"Ready“ Five Years. The fact that Canada has under- taken the construction of a waterway possessing features}; .precedented tn the history of siinilar undertakings, not only ,on this continent, but in the world, is a fact which may not be generally appreciated, but in certain aspects Canada can make claim to this distinction for the work she has entered upon in the construction of the Welland Ship Canal, the connect- in: link between Lakes Erie and Ontario; For contract purposes, the entire canal, 26 miles in length, has been divided into nine sections, section No. 1 being at the Lake Ontario end and the others following consecu- tively through to Lake Erie. Section No. 015 the most important and the most expensixe seetion of the entire project, involving as it does the construction of twin locks in flight 4, 5 and 6, single lock No. 7, and a guard lock, the building of a tremen- dous earth dam to form a pondage of 84 acres for regulating the water lev- el in the flight locks, and two dim- cult and expensive railway diversions. There are 2,700,000 cubic yards of rock to be excavated from the lock sites and the locks themselves will in- volve the placing of 1,200,000 cubic yards of concrete. This section is less than two miles in length, mostly Within the town 0; Thorold. The present line of the Grand Trunk Railway traverses the site or the flight locks, and this railway has had to be diverted a short distance to the west for a distance of four miles. As it is, here' the railway climbs the Niagara escarpment, rising almost 150 feet within a distance of one and a half miles, this has proved a very difficult piece of relocation. From Thorold to Lake Erie the new canal will follow largely the route of the present canal, and the work will consiSL principally of deep- ening and widening the existing chan- nel to the new dimensions. Section 5 is the only remaining section which has as yet been placed under contract, the contractors being the Canadian Dredging Co., of Mid- land, Ont. They have had the steam shovels employed all season, and ex- pect to commence dredging opera- tions in the early spring. The work consists of the removal of 5,500,000 cubic yards of earth in the channel and along the west bank, the material to be disposed of on low lands ad- joining the canal.. The estimated cost of this section is $1,950,000. It will be seen from this that com- gpiling a directory of half a million 1 restless people is no easy job. Prac- ‘tically one year’s hard work, by a. , large staff goes into its preparation. 5 Perhaps the most remarkable fact 0! all is that, in spite of the ever- changing population, recent director- Zies have only shown an average of g fifty miStakes a volume. Over seventy per cent. of Toronto’s population change their addresses, or positions, or otherwise require a. change in their designations in the city directory each year. That would seem to be a rather high record for even the most nomadic tribes, but each new directory, proves indisput- ably that the “changing” habit has got Toronto to that extent. The estimated cost of the entire project is $50,000,000. -. He was born. in 1860 and entered 3the railroad service in 1882 as city 3 ticket agent of the Central Vermont 7 Railroad at Montreal. In 1897 he-be- i came city ticket agent for the Grand ;Trunk at Monteral and in the same year was promoted excursion clerk of ? that department and soon after was 7 made assistant general passenger and Etticket agent. Later he became pas- :senger representative at Chicago and g on the death of W. E. Davis was chos- ien general passenger agent with ‘ headquarters in Montreal. Mr. Elliot’s [retirement took‘e‘ffect on Oct. 31. A page taken at random from last year’s issue and corrected to date, shows that out of the 180 names re- corded on it 139 have changed either their address, their occupation, or both. Corrections are scratched across it in all directions. till it re- sembles a futurist painting of a hedgehog much more than a page of print. It is announced that A. G. Elliot. general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Railway, owing to a re- arrangement of the duties of the gen- eral oflices, has retired. The assist-I ant passenger traffic manager will as- sume the duties of the general pas- senger agent. Mr.,Elliot has devoted his life to railroad work and in his chosen line has achieved success and won the re- spect. of railro’ad mew The first annual report 01’ the Hud- 8011 Bay Railway shows that the line 18 only 24 rules of a variation from an. air line covering the entire length of 412 miles. About 240 miles have been com- pleted, 350 miles are partially graded and on 204 miles Lb) track is laid. Telegraphs have been constructed for 175 miles. Grading will be com- pleted next summer and the line will be ready to handle the 1916 crap. CANAL IS .PROGRESSING. First Hudson Bay Report. Making a Directory. Has a Fine Record. All that is needed to bring this potash to the farmer is to mine-the rock and pulverize it finely, not less than 200 mesh. and the entire contents of the rock when mixed with the soil will become available for plant life as fast as any form of vegetation can consume it with the application of varying amounts for difl’erent crops. as some crops: require more potash than others. The agricultural department at Washington has made eXperiments with this rock for the last fifteen years and has demonstmted the solu- bility and ayailability of the potash when used as above and has produced equally 115‘ good ('mps with this form of potash us thé)‘ have been able to produce with the German potash salts that are supposed to be immediately soluble in Water. The writer" has made personal ex- amination of” about 100 of these de- posits in New England and has also made many practical and scientific tests on growing crops in comparison with the German potash, proving With- out a question that this source of pot.- ash was superior in evefy way to the German product. There have been several scientific theorists of late who have claimed patented processes whereby they could extract the potash from this rock so that it could be supplied to the farmer or fertilizer manufacturer ln a com- paratively pure state. For the last SeVentyoflve years. up to about five years ago. practically all of the farmers in this country and most of the agricultural scientific theorists knew positively that all the soil need- ed Were phosphoric acid. nitrogen and potash. but recently we hear of a great many other plant food elements that increase the crop yield and build up the soil to a healthier and more pro- ductive condition than was ever thought possible. and many of them are nbw being used by the practical agriculturist with marked success. The Wisconsin Agricultural college after many experiments has discovered that sulphate of iron is a wonderful soil restorer and crop producer. France has also discovered that sulphate of iron in many cases applied at the rate of 400 pounds to the acre increases production from 40 to 10“ per cent. Magnesia has :evently been claimed by many practical agriculturists to be a plant fuod of great importance. It is rapidly becoming :1 well known fact that all plants must have at least twelve mineral elements: in sufficient quantity if a maximum crop is to be harvested. Derrick For Hanging Hogs.
