The children of Israel were backelidden and had become worldly and proud. Samuel was old and "not upâ€"toâ€"date.". | £%\ Saul‘s rejection came from various causes : 1. He was disobedient. "This "This was the root of his offence. He was determined to be a king like those of the nations around Israel â€"a despot, untrammeled by: constiâ€" tution, and regardless of any higher power. 2. As a result of this sin we find other sins cropping out, of which one was vanity, rearing a monument in his own honor (v. 12). 8. Notice also the sin of falsehood (v. 13). He knew that his declaration was false, and none the less because it was half true. A balf truth is generally the worst of lies. 4. We gee nlso the sin of hypocrisy (ve. 14, 15). He made the pretense that his disobedience was only for a _plous purpose. ‘The hypocrite is one who uses his religion as a cloak for his own selfish aims. God accepts no such sacrifices as those of Saul. 5. Next, the sin of cowardice (vs. 20, 21). ‘The people took! Saul showâ€" ed a most unkingly spirit in folâ€" lowing the multitude in evil. His weakness ol will in submitting to the crowd when he should have ruled it made it manifest that he was not fit to wear the crown. 6. Lastly, the sin of formalism (v. 22.)

It was found that the natives living along the west coast of Hudson Bay are less numâ€" erous than formerly, and some of their abandoned campse were seen. The Esquimaux from Hudson Bay to the Arctic were very helpful, trayâ€" elled with the explorers for greater or less distances, helped them at the portages, guided them and made themselves generally useful. Two of the Hudson Bay natives with their gamilies travelled north to the Arâ€" ctic coast with the explorers. As they were partly dependent upon the game resources of the country, the Esquimaux were particlarly useful as bunters. When within about 'en miles of Opgden Bay on the Arctic coast, the two Esquimaux were sent north to prospect, carrying presents to the coast natives. The next evening they returned, bringing with them two coast Egquimaux, tall, strong men, different in no way from the Hudson Bay men, except in the cut of their skin garments. They were timid at first, but gained confidence gave Mr. Hamburg much in‘ormation and agresd to accompany him. Travelling westward along the Arcâ€" tic coast the party found an Esquâ€" lmrau camp of two snow nuts, and those hute containing five families and some visitorsâ€"about fortyâ€"five persons in all. A little furthor west, about south of Victoria Land, they they saw Esquimaux who were strangers to the Arctic natives who were accompanying the party. Mr. Hanbury thought these newâ€"found ratives bore a more marked resemâ€" blance to the Mongolian type. They were friendly, but did not invite the white men into their hnts. On the east coast of Kent Peninsula, where deer live all winter, Esquimaux were busy catching codling with copper hooks through holes in the ice. The party had spent the winter of 1901â€"‘02 near Hudson Bay and did rot start on their Arctic trip till March 9 last year, when they set out with two sledges laden with stores and another carrying the canoes, in which a large part of the journey was made. The three sleds were hauled by twenty dogs. On March 16 last, year, the temperaâ€" ture wias 51 degrees below zero, alâ€" most as cold as any day in the preâ€" vioue winter, the coldest day of which recorded 57 degrees, while the mean temperature for the whole of January was 30.5 degrees. Many inCications of coppar were found along the Arctic comst and on the nearby islands.

Not far from the Coppermine River the occupants of an Esquimaux camp fled on the approach of the strang Qers, leaving everything behind. The stome kettles with boiled salmon were still warm. The white men took some halfâ€"dried salmon and left in payment knives, files, needles and other useful articles. As they turnâ€" ed inland again they saw no more of these natives, who belong to the cenâ€" tral group of the Esquimaux family and who are more isolated from the rest of the world than any other members of their race.

Canada‘s average export of wheat to Great Britain during the past six yeare was only 6,000,000 bushcls.

If the child hgow- ing rapidly it should not be allowed to fall much below it without being made to rest more than has been the custom before. A deficiency in weight in proportion to height is always an unfavorable sign.
