November Joe had no idea how far I could read into his table. “And what did the otter say?” “th, nothing! He just went down his slide into the lake and got chasin’ fish, and I guess he soon forgot he missed seein’ the city all right.” “And how about you, Joe?” “I guess I’ll get chasin’ fish, too. Mr. Quaritch.” “That was what the mink said to the otter: ‘Go you to the city and see the sights,’ says he, but the otter knew the only way he’d ever see the city would be around some lovely gal’s neck.” “But you would soon be used to city ways and perhaps become rich.” “I’m not the kind of a guy for a city, Mr. Quax‘itch. All the chaps ’d get turning round to stare at the poor wild fella, and I’d sure be scairt to sleep in one of them up in the blue sky houses anyway!” He laughed. “But how about Mr. Petersham’s wish to give you a start in his business in New York or Montreal?” “I’ve been trying that cure, Mr. Qua. ritch, and I won’t be long behind you.” “Oh. where are you going to?” ' “To my shack on Charley’s brook.

Neither he nor Linda gave any sign that anything unusual had passed between them. Indeed, we were gay enough, and we had Charley Paul in to sing us some French-Cana- dian songs.

Cabbage seed for the late crop may be sow'n any time in July, sowing in a rather moist and shady place. By tion with horse tools. As soon as a rain comes after the soil has been pre- pared set the young plants in rows about two feet apart. watering for the first two or three days. or until the roots begin to take hold of 1 the new soil. Begin cultivation almost as soon as the crop is set out and continue during the growing period. Many farmers do not have a supply of late cabbage for winter because they neglect starting plants in mid- summer for the fall crop. Cabbage is one of the easiest vegetables to grow in the garden. A large patch should be set out late each summer, and the surplus may be sold or used for win- ter green poultry food. It is also very easy to keep through the winter. are no lodging places for the germ laden dust which it extracts from the animal's hair, and any such accumula- tion must pass right through it, and for the particular horse owner it offers opportunities for further precautions against contamination by washing in water.

Some of the agricultural colleges have organized short courses of in- struction for women \\ 110 are willing to enter farm work. The course of in- struction includes milking, dairy work, live stock, poultry, preparation of land, use of tools, planting and cultivation. The course reviews eight hours' work daily for fourteen days. In the dairy and in the care of small stock it is likely that male labor will be almost entirely dispensed with. Much of the lighter field work also is being done by women. and in the market gar- dening districts they may be seen in large numbers at such tasks as weed- ing and setting plants. On some of the smaller holdings they have even under- taken the rougher work of plowing and cultivating. In some cases the scarcity of farm hands is not so serious as the lack of horses. The lack of male labor is be- ing filled so far as possible by the use of female and child labor. WAR FARMING. w: Though he stood before the earthly king in a place of honor, he stood more consciously before the King of kings. for whose sake he in his old age went to the lion‘s den rather than dishonor him by any fear of man, for whose ' sake his three friends went to the fiery furnace rather than bow down to any image which man might set up. No doubt Daniel and his friends were prayerfully diligent in their Chaldean studies, but God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. and He gave Daniel understanding in all visions and dreams, so that these young men were ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in the whole realm (verses 17. 20).' On, three diflerent occasions related in this ‘ book, when all the wisdom of Baby- lon’s wise men failed, Daniel did not. fail once because his God never failed him. Any believer who is willing to pay the price by self denial and indif- ference to what others say or think of you and a purpose of heart to see no one but Jesus only and covet only His approval may know the power of God as others cannot. The whole cost of'sal- vation fell upon J esus Christ, and we receive freely what He so fully profld- ed and paid for. But to be His faithful witnesses we must have the devotion, {elf denial and continuance of Daniel. To my mind it is a lesson on the ne- cessity of keeping one's self wholly for God in every particular and of be« ing willing to submit cheerfully to dif- ficult circumstances for His sake. In chapter x, 2. 3. Daniel says that for three weeks he did without pleasant bread or flesh or wine. while he mourn- ed and waited upon God for a special purpose. implying that he did not al- ways see the necessity of denying him- self‘food that could have the blessing of God. As to the sin of intemperance or self indulgence in any matter, the teaching of scripture is very plain, and the filthiness and beastliness of strong drink could scarcely be more vividly described or condemned than in Isa. v, 11, 12, 22, 23; xxviii. 7. 8. The only remedy is in Christ Jesus, who alone can forgive sin and give the sinner a new nature and such a purpose to keep one’s self wholly for Him as 1 Daniel had. When we suffer in these ways we have fellowship with Him in His suf- ferings. When it came to eating and drinking that which had been offered 1 to idols Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself, and no doubt he had prayed to his God about this. He asked permission of the prince of the eunuchs that he and his friends might be excused from receiv- ing the food from the king‘s table and be given very plain fare, which had not passed that way, asking that they might be proved for ten days. The same God who permitted them thus far to suffer for His sake now gave them favor in the sight of this man, and he consented to prove them. At the end of ten days they were fairer and fatter in flesh than those who did eat the portion of the king’s meat, so it was kept from them, and they were given the plain fare, which had not been oflfered to idols. See Deut. xxxii, 37, 38. If this is a temperance lesson the same principle applies to food as to drink. ing for an Israelite to be a captive. It was humiliating to have their beauti- ful Jewish names, each of which had in them a suggestion of the true God of Jehovah, changed to names sugges- tive of idols (verses 6, 7). But this they could bear without any sin on their part. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself was taken prisoner, bound and led by His captors as they pleased. They also called Him a devil and Beelzebub and said that He was be- side Himself. So in these two partic- ulars they were foreshadowing the suf- ferings of Christ. They were to have a three years’ courg of preparation for their calling, and as to their food they Were nour- ished from the king’s table daily the same meat and Wine which he ate and drank. At least that was the provi- sion made for them. It was humiliat- lHis glory, to which Daniel also refers {in chapters ix, 27; xii. 1. We recently saw a little captive maid glorifying Fthe God of Israel under very trying circumstances, and in this lesson we see four captive young men glorifying the God of Israel under difficulties. The Lord permitted this oppression and captivity because of the sin of Judah and gave Jehoiakim and some of his pe0ple and some of the vessels of the house of God into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. king of Babylon, and among the captives were these four young men of royal blood, who were chosen to stand in the king’s palace and to be taught the learning and tongue of the Chaldeans that they might stand before the king (verses 35). I am very glad to have the privilege of writing a lesson on Daniel, even though it be what is called a temper- ance lesson, for we shall find much more in it than appears on the surface. He is mentioned in Ezek xiv, 14, 20. with Noah and Job as noted for their righteousness. He is mentioned by the Lord Jesus in Matt. xxiv, 15, in connection with the great tribulation at the end of this age immediately preceding the return or the Lord in Lesson Vll.â€"-‘Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 14, 1915.
