Place At Caigal, near Jericho. The Lord gave Joshua careful directions as to how to take the city of Jericho, and then doshua told the people what to do. They were to march around the city onee a day for six days and on the sevâ€" enth day they were to march around seven times. Then the priests were to blow with the trumpets and the people were to shout. Fhey did as the Lord had commanded them, and the walls fell *down flat. IV. Topic: Laws of spiritual conquest. Place: Gaigal. 1t has been about six years since the Israclites entered Canâ€" «an. They were assembled at Gilgal to divide the land among the tribes. Caleb was one of the two good spies and Moses had promised him HMebron. Caleb was 85 years old, but he was still strong and able to his inheritance. Joshua blessed E'aleb and gave him Hebrw.n beâ€" eause he had wholly followed the Lord. V. Topic: Christ the sinner‘s Refuge. Place: Shiloh. The inheritance of the tribe of Levi was fortyâ€"cight cities, which were quite evenly â€" distributed among the tribés. Six of these cities were chosen as cities of refuge. Kedesh, Shechem and Hebron were on the west of Jordan; and Bezer, Ramoth and Golan on the east. The citios were on hills and the one who accidentaily killed another could flee here for refuge. ‘Toâ€"day Christ is our refuge. He is accessible, and all who will can reach Him. VL.

IX. Topic: A study of the Samson character. Place: Samson died at Gaza. The Phillstines were oppressing Isracl, and Samson was raised up to deliver them; he was a Nazarito; he departed from God; Deliliah learned the secret of his power, his locks were shorn, the Philistines took him and caused him to work as a slave; a great company wore «athered in the temple at Gaza, praising Dagon; Samson moved the two centre pillars, and the house fell, causing his death and also the death of the Philisâ€" '-XV._‘rom:‘Choosing the people of God.

The sons married Moabitish women, but after a. few years both sons and their father died, leaving the women widows. Noami then decided to return to Bethlehem. Orpha remained in Moab, but Ruth clave to her motherâ€"inâ€"law, and chose the true God. This is one of the most remark» able examples given us in the scriptures of forsaking home, country and kindred to be joined to the people of God. This is the more rematkable from the fact that she belonged to a heathen nation and knew comparatively little of the true God. 5 Lo css e e ie d o7 ©EWE CCC KXI.

This leader proved to be Joshua. â€" He was commanded to be strong and of good courage. God‘s promise to him was calueulated to inspire him with indomâ€" itable strength. "As I was with Moses : so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee nor forsake thee." He was to be strong, 1, in faith. 2. In expectation. 3. In zeal. 4. In endurance. 5. In patience. 6. In courage. There is no place for weakness in God‘s service. "Let the weak say, I am strong." II. The passage of the Jordan. The events conmnected with this remarkable experience were calculated to make a deep and lasting impression upon the minds of the Israelites,. They could cerâ€" tainly point to one place in their pilâ€" grimage and exclaim, "There God met us and brought us through the waters dryâ€"shod.

As he stated himself when receiving the degree of LL.D. from the University of Toronto ten years ago, Lord Kelvin was from his birth a child of the uniâ€" versities. He was born in 1824, not in A Child of the Universities. He was perhap$ of unfamiliar waters twice as THE LATE LORD KELVIN. s the leading scientist of the age. ONTAR! safe as before it was invented, To teleâ€" graphy, marine telegraphy in particular, his services were of peculiar value. He acted as electrician for the Atlantic cable from 1857â€"8 to 1856â€"6; he inâ€" vented â€" the mirror galvanometer and siphon recorder in connection with subâ€" marine t/elegmfihy; he acted as electrical engineer for the French Atlantic cable in 1869, the Brazilian and River Plate marine belegmyny; ne acted as CICCUMOR] | engineer for the French Atlantic cable in 1869, the Brazilian and River Plate cable in 1873, the Woest indian cables in 1875, and the Mackayâ€"Bennett Atâ€" lantic cables in 1879, He was the inâ€" vemtor of a mariner‘s compass in use on all the seas, and of many electrical and other measuring mmachines, amo:fi them the line for measuring the spe of boats at sea. The successful completion of the Atâ€" lantic cable in 1866 brought _ him a knighthood, and in 1892 he was created a Baron. He was President of the Briâ€" . tish Association in 1871 and of the Royâ€" al Society from 1890 _ to 1895. _ But | thmmehad won for himself the greatâ€" est rs in the scientific world, he still continued his labors, and his friends said that the older he grew the harder \he worked. No practical or scientific llprohlem seemed cither too large or too small for his attention. Visited Toronto in 1897. In August, 1897, he visited Toronto with other eminent members of the Briâ€" tish Association, which met in the city that year. He was decply interested in the harnessing of Ningura and inspectâ€" ed all the plants that had been installed at the time of his visit,. These were all on the United States,side of the river, but the plans for development on the ‘('a.nadio,n side were referred to Lord |\ Kelvin and he examined them with inâ€" | terest. In 1899 Lord Kelvin resigned his chair of natural philosophy, but he still mainâ€" tained a close connection with the uniâ€" versity and was made Chancellor in 1904. ‘At the time of his death, he had been for sixtyâ€"one years in closest touch with his alma mater and had long been regarded as her greatset son. t â€" Lord Kelvin was a voluminous writer on scientific subjects. . se uks s It is customarSl to give all the credit for the first successful Atlantic cable to Cyrus W. Field, but by right the credit should be divided between Field and Kelvin, or Prof, William Thomson, as he then was. It is true that Field financed the enterprise, and that he furâ€" nished the enthusiasm and persistence without â€" which _ Europe and America could never have been electrically joined | together. But the laying of a cable beâ€" neath the ocean between the continents was not the only essential to the success of Field‘s Napoleonic scheme. A way to make the cable work, a method to insure its economical delivery at one end of the words entrusted to it at the other, was as necessary as the cable itself, and that was a task which Field was quite unable to compass. In 1858, when the first cable was laid, only to break a short time afterward, 'I‘homfson had the problem only partially so ved, but in 1866, when the second cable was laid, the Thompson apparatus for deepâ€"sea cabling was practically perfected. _ He was promptly knighted for his achievement by Queen Victoria, and the whole world has profited immensely therefrom ever eince. TORONTO Kelvin in the Class Room. : During his long occupancy of the chair | ; of natural philosophy in the University ] of Glasgow, Lord Kelvin made use of |. many simple and familiar objects to ilâ€" lustrate his lectures. < Eggs, jellies, sho¢â€" makers‘ wax, tops, globes and bottles | were among the most common,. One of |, his favorite demonstrations was to aim and fire a rifle at a pendulum bob, meaâ€" suring the displacement of the latter to show the velocity of the bullet. Beâ€" fore the smoke had disappeared he Was at the blackboard figuring out the soluâ€" tion. A more significant, and perhaps & more popular, experiment was spinnin% an egg which was suspended in air. 1 this was hard boiled it would whirl & long time. If not, it would soon cease, owing to the friction between the conâ€" tents and the shell. His inference was that the interior of the earth cannot be fluid or the globe‘s rate of rotation would have been checked long ago. It | is related that the students once conâ€" spired to change the eggs which had been supplied for this illustration. Not one would spin properly, and the lecturer easily guessed 3; reason. _ "None of them boiled!" w#s his only comment. So profound was the sdmlnt{on of the boys for his learning, originality, enthusiasm and amiability that they rarely ind\:elfi- ed in mischievous pranks. It is related, though, that on one occasion. while his back was turned, he was struck on the head with a big paper wad.

Montreal: Tt# prevailing tone in busiâ€" ness circles here steadily, if . slowly, grows more cheerful, The main reason for this is the fact that money is workâ€" ing easier. The approach of the holiday season has imported great activity to the retail trade, and wholasale business has profited accordingly. In most lines of trade there are now few complaints regarding collections, They are coming forward as well as is usual at this time of the year, and it is hoped that at the end of the holiday season There will be still further improvement in this connecâ€" tion, Money is still sufficiently scarce MB eouee Anaine n En it 1 Toronto: The worst feature of trade here is the lack of employment for unâ€" skilled labor. This is all the more serâ€" dous on account of the large number of emigrants which have arrived here durâ€" ing the past few months, The searcity . of money has curtailed activity in many lines in which these men could be emâ€" ployed, and, unless the situation imâ€" proves much more than it has done, there is likely to be little work offering for these men until after the winter, . The money situation, however, shows continâ€" ued improvement, and business has taken on a correspondingly brighter tone. Valâ€" ues of Canadian securities also show imâ€" provement following the easier money conditions. i Vancouver and Victoria: Trade here continues very fairly active.
