Perhaps nothing causes more need- less worry than the fact that one or more persons in a given family have died from cancer. This is commonly taken as a proof that the disease is hereditary. This does not at all fol- low. There is probably no greater chance of inheriting cancer than there Sometimes the painter’s name is most conspicuous as, for example. in Ra- phael’s “Sposalizio” at Milan. Proud of having surpassed his master, the youthful genius wrote on a frieze in the very center of the canvas. “Raphael Urbinas.” Reynolds hardly ever signed his work.

Perhaps there are people who worry even about those contingencies, but the statisticians have shown that such fatal accidents are extremely People who are concerned because their relatives have succumbed to can- cer fall to consider how widespread the disease is. A malady that causes one death out of every eight among women and one out of every fourteen among men over forty is fairly com- mon. On this basis it does not take much arithmetic to figure out how likely it is that cancer will occur many times in some families. The eminent statisticians, King and Newsholme. have pointed out that it does not prove heredity to show that in one family five deaths occurred from cancer. By the very frequency of the disease and the laws of chance such cases would be expected even if no one had ever suggested the idea of heredity. In some species of animals it is be- lieved a certain susceptibility to tu- mors may be inherited. But so far as human beings are concerned the fore- most authorities believe that heredity in cancer may be regarded as a negli- gible factor.â€"-Journal of the American Medical Association.

Memory Verse, 10â€"Golden Text, Matt. xxviii, 19. 20â€"Commontary Prg. pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Any one who questions the truth or the reality of this story of Jonah casts discredit on the Lord Jesus Christ. for He called Jonah a prophet and said that his three days and nights in the belly of the fish were typical of His own three days and nights between His death and resurrection. He also spoke of the repentance of the people of Nineveh under the preaching. of Jonah and of a future judgment (Matt. xii, 39-41; Luke xi, 32). To question the words of the Lord Jesus is to question God the Father, for He said that the Father always told Him what to say (John xii, 47-50). Jesus Christ said, “I am The Truth,” and God is called “the God of Truth” (John xiv, 6; Isa. lxv, 16). Therefore let our hearts cry, "Let God be true. but every man a liar;” “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth" (Rom. iii, 4; II Cor. xiii, 8). When Jonah is mentioned people al- ways think of the fish, whereas the fish is mentioned but four times in the book, while God or Lord is men- tioned forty times. We are not as right with God as we might be until we give the same relative importance to people and things that He. does; therefore let us not magnify the fish, but the Lord. This is called a foreign missionary lesson, and it is certainly a good one on that topic, as we shall see. Two of the great foundation truths of the Bible are “God is love" and “The Lord is not willing that any should perish” (I John iv. 8. 16; II Pet. iii. 9). In this lesson we see a great city of at least 600.000 people (120,000 children) and much cattle. and there was great wickedness in the city (Jonah i. 2; iv. 11). but God would rath- er save than destroy them, and He sent Jonah to call upon them to repent that He might spare them. That is always God’s attitude to the world lying in the wicked one. He commandeth all men everywhere to re- pent, for He will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (Acts xvii. 30; I Tim. ii, 3. 4). But how can they know unless some one tells? So Jonah is called 01' God to go and tell Nineveh that, while the Lord does not wish them to per- ish, unless they repent judgment will come in forty days (i, 1, 2; iii. 4). At first Jonah is unwilling to go and seeks to flee from the call. Then follows the record of the voyage to Tarshish begun seemingly so favorably. but sud- denly interrupted. for God sent two detectives to arrest His man and bring him back. A great wind to stop him and a great fish to bring him ashore (i, 4, 17). Arrested on the high seas and brought back, it reads like an up to date story, for our God is always up to date and away ahead. Look at the wireless and rapid transit as seen in the story of Daniel and Gabriel (Dan. ix. 3. 20, 21). As to the present day attitude of those who profess to he the Lord’s people toward the command of our Golden Text and of Mark xvi, 15; Luke xxiv, 47; John xx, :21, 23; Acts i, 8, could there be a more vivid pic- ture than that of Jonah on this ship before the captain \vokc him up? The only man on the ship who knew the true God fast asleep. while the heathen sailors earnestly cried unto their gods. Those who have the Bible and in it the knowledge of the living and true God and of salvation by Jesus Christi for all who will reteixe Him are as} indifierent to the welfare of the miln lions of so called heathen who are car- I nestly ailing upon 1111111""Ods 11s was: Jonah when fast asleep on that ship.

This book of Jonah shows us his plan. Jonah was an lsraelite.

On my farm I blew out an oak stump fourteen inches in diameter with big roots extending about three feet into the ground, writes a con- tributor to an agricultural paper. With one pound of dynamite the force of the explosion lifted the stump bodily and turned it over. leaving the roots not more than a foot from the original position. My next experience was with a green wild cherry log thirty inches in diameter and ten feet long with sev- eral hard knots in it. This I split into pieces easily handled with two pounds of dynamite by the mud cap- ping process, as follows: I removed a quarter pound of dynamite from the paper, placed the loose dynamite on a flat part of the log just where I should strike with an ax were I go- ing to split it in that way. I then ’placed the blasting cap, with fuse at- tached, into the loose dynamite, cov- ered the whole with about eight in- ches of sand and over this placed a cherry log about twelve inches in diameter and two feet long. I light- ed the fuse and continued in this way till the log was all split up. The log used for a weight was sawed oft square on the end and rested firmly on top of the sand. At no time did the weight go over eight feet in the air or two feet away from the log. I used two pounds of dynamite, twelve feet of fuse, and eight caps at a cost of 45 cents for material and about one hour’s time. I am having good success blasting out pear tree stumps fifteen inches or more in diameter, tough and hard, with big roots deep in the ground. Some of the stumps were within 30 feet of a building, but no damage was done. Powder for farm use is about 25 per cent., the higher per- centage throwing the stumps too far and being more dangerous to handle. Working alone 1 am doing as much in a day as four men could do grub- bing, and in addition I am subsoiling the land. GETTING READY TO BLOW UP A STUMP. Use Asbestos Screens.
