Black THE RHYTHM OF I’LIWORSi gummy (By Peert McuArth) A couple of years ago a Japanese scientist-artist-musician-perfumer gave a super-esthetic group of New Yorkers an entertainment that wasI perhaps unique in the world’s historyq and yet he might have made it more wonderful than it was. Owing to the versatility of his genius he knew that there are rhythms of form and color; as well as of sound, and he perfected a mechanism by which he was able ’. ; throw colors and lights in certain forms on a screen to the accompani-, ment of music. At the same time he' released jets of odor in the same’ rhythmical way. His purpose was toz cater delicately to as many senses as possible. But why did he stop with ,the senses of form. color, sound and iperfume? Why didn’t he spread a {banquet and cater rhythmically to Ithe sense of taste? Our fruits, for instance, from the earliest strawberry to the latest peach give a range of flavors that a master artist might arrange into a symphony. The sense of taste can be catered to just as delicately and effectively as any other, and the housewife-with a full will appeal to any palate. v â€"â€"â€" wr Probably no country in the world is more favored with fruit than Can- ada. As some poet has observed it has a profusion of berries, “huckle, rasp, and straw,” besides currants, cherries, reaches, plums, pears, ap- ples, grapes, quinces, and other fruits too numerous to mention. And each of these fruits has a flavor indescrib- ably individual. “v-4 ---‘-â€" v By the way, is it possible to de- scribe a flavor in a way that will convey to the person who has not tasted it what it is like? Of course “U'V we can give an idea of things as be- ing sweet, sour, salt, or insipid but the penetrating, aromatic flavorsâ€" how are they to be described? I know of only two attempts at describing flavors that were at all successful. One was the attempt by David Har- um’s sister to describe champagne. She said it was like drinking cider and sniffing horseradish at the same time. The Other was the answer made by a small boy when asked what vichy tasted like. He said, “It tastes like your foot's asleep.” If I could have a heart-to-heart talk with that Japanese scientist-artist-musician-per- fumer I would try to get him to pre- pare something for the annual ban- quet of the Canadian Fruit Growers and have him add flavors to his enter- tainment. But perhaps the Fruit Growers would object. They prob- ably agree with the average house- wife that the flavors of our Canadian fruits are sufficient in themselves without being added to. They have color, and aroma also, and it is quite sufficient to set them to the music of tinkling glasses and silver spoons. This season when the fruits are so plentiful and so good every fruit cel- ‘lar in the Dominion should be a sym- phony of the divine flavors perfected -!___-x.:.. A: A by the sun in the Canadian summer. Did you ever notice that when we want to praise anvthing with unusuai emphasis we call it something else? For instance, if we wish to praise a book or a picture we say, “It is a gem.” We do this because a gem is the most precious thing that we can possessâ€"the onlv concrete example of “infiz 1ite riches in little room.” To be a gen 9. thi: ~ must have the finest 121mm} (sunliti e enriched and per- fected by art. and 6when we say that a thing is a. gem \xe mean that it is the peri'ection of its kind, a finished product about which no further or product about which no further or higher {11.1.1750 is possible. But (:11‘1‘11 11;; a 1111110 a “gem” is only one 11191391101: There are manyi others. 11 1t in all cases the word we use instead of What we mean denotes the xistoztoe of some quality in the thing described that is only reached in the thing we name in its stead. This suggests a method of determin- mg the things in Nature and art that are perfect. for only the perfect. things w- are used as netaphors. Their per-; Sections may vary but in every casei a perfection is indicated. I Among our fruits there are two that t are used as metaphors oftener than‘ any other and by that fact we may} judge of their surpassing quality. One is used in public life and the other in everyday life. In public life the man who secures a high position, a 'avor or a contract that will enrich him, is said to have got “a plum." This suggests that he has got some thing that all men earnestly desire, somethirvr so packed full of richness and all goodness that it can only be described by calling it a plumâ€"the fruit of which a celebrated horticul- turist, E. P. Powell, says that “It con- tains more richness than any other fruit.” It is rich in color, flavor and odor and as satisfying to the palate as it is to the eye. It is for this reason :tnat it has gained its political signifi- cance as a metaphor. As the fruit :nosc pone-ct and rich of its kind it suggests to the greedy politicians what they most desire and one of them who has been so fortunate as to secure a plum never wants anything else all his life but more plums. And the plums, when they are ripe are entirely worthy of the high regard they receive from housewives as well as politicians. ,1; ._:..1 :m1:‘ :6 +hn lib PULLLLQ uuuuuu Our other metaphorical fruit is the' peach. Just listen to some youth say- ing of a beautiful girl that “She is a peach” and even if you had never‘ tasted a peach you would know that! it must be sweet, beautiful and ex-E quisite, just as we all know that it is. The pea 'h is the one thing that we can use without offence as a meta- phor for a beautiful girl and there is nothing more alluring and perfect that we can use as a metaphor for a peach. To say that a peach is a peach is the highest praise we can bestow on it unless we say tha. it is “a Canadian peach" for our “made in Canada” peaches are admitted. to surpass all 'other peaches as much as they sur- i pass all other fruits. Canadians have a right to be proud of them and to be fond of them and the housewife who puts up a plentiful supply of them is the one who is most certain to be regarded by her_ husband and her A PEACE OF AN ESSAY (By Peter McArthur) (By Peter McArthur) in tliefiigreat alembic of a Lesson XMLâ€"Third Quarter, Fm Sept. 26, 1915 Text of the Lesson, S’s. lxxii, Quarterly Reviewâ€"Golden Tcxt, Ps. xxi, 1 Commentary Prepared by Rev.

Absalom fail ed in respect for his father or his fa ther's God, and he failed to accomplist what he had his heart set upon for himself. The victory was David's, and he was restored to his throne.

The tabernacle and temple were both typical of Christ. the True Taber- nacle and Temple. and of the church. which is His body. now being builded.

Golden Text, Ex. xx, 4. 5a. "Thou shalt not how down thyself unto them nor serve them.” Jeroboa.n turned away from God. who gave him the kingdom. and led all Israel into idolatiy. so that there was not one king over the ten tribes who was not an idolater. Lnssox VIII.â€"Asa‘s good reign. II Chron. xv. 1-15. Golden Text. Jas. iv, 8. “Draw nigh to God. and He will draw nigh to you.” In contrast to Jeroboam and the sinful kings of 1s- rael there were at least eight of the kings of Judah who served the Lord and sought to do right in His sight. Asa was one of them. and for thirty- five years he was wonderfully blessed, because he relied on the Lord. but durâ€" ing the last five of his forty years he turned away from God in a measure. Lessox IX.â€"God‘s care of Elijah. 1 Kings xvii, 1-16.

He was supernaturally cared for dur- ing those years and safely hidden. so that he could not he found. Lessox X.â€"Elijah and the prophets of Baal. I Kings xviii. 30-39. Golden Text. Prov. xv. 129. "Jehovah is far from the wicked: but He heareth the prayer of the righteous." A great test and a glorious vindication of Jehovah. From morning till evening the wicked cry to their god without a reply; Elijah ‘ prayed one brief prayer and the fire i came that could burn up even stones.

The same Elijah as in the last lesson. but a wicked woman has come between him and God and he is seeing and hearing her and therefore afraid and fleeing for his life.
