Where Canada stands as a future source of supply is the question of the times for us to answer, and our answer should take a very materâ€" jal form.

"Mother has given us some cookies and we are going to share them; you and I and Baby Willie out under the mulberry tree." Even the horses were sharing their hay at the manger and the colts nibâ€" bled their oats together from â€"the same box. Milly turned and hurried back toward the house. At the gate she met Edgar. "Purâ€"râ€"r! purâ€"râ€"r!‘"‘ she called and when her kitten came running she generously gave the whole titbit to her little one and sat by to watch its enjoyment. "They can get such things every day," said Milly, her cheeks growing rather red, and then she went up the driveway which led into the great hay barn. As she did so Maria came up beside her carrying a fat field mouse. Old Biddy was scratching in the leaves near by and just then she found a worm. "Cluck! _ Cluck!

As she opened the barnyard gate the hens came running toward her. Greedy things! they were always wanting everything! But just then the big rooster caught sight of some corn. A whole stick of red and white candy for herself! That was what the kind tin peddler man gave Milly for bringing a drink of cold water out to his wagon as he drove by the farmhouse one warm summer mornâ€" ing,. and Milly, tucking the striped sweetness into her pocket, hung the dipper again on its nail by the well and then ran out toward the barn to find a place where she could enjoy the treat all by herself. Up by the house brother Edgar might see her and watch her enjoyâ€" ment with longing eyes which would spoil the pleasure, and Baby Willy might coax or perhaps ery for a piece. It was not often such a treat came to Milly and she meant to enâ€" joy it all down to the last sugary crumb.

With the Hebrews, the heart was the chief seat of the soul, while the mind was supposed to be located in the kidneys, and all of the tender emotions were assigned to the bowels. In those days it was considered sacriligious to dissect the human body ; nevertheless, it was aubfem.- ed in rare instances, to the scalpel, and the existence of the brain, though they knew not its functions, was well known.

The same is true if a certain spot be injured in the brain corresponding to hearing : the person is unable to distinguish between the report of a gun and the bark of a dog.

This demonstrates that brain matter does not originate speech, for otherwise both hemispheres would have their respective speech centres. _ Either hemisphere is equally good for speech providing the hand dexterity, right or left, begins early enough in life to use it for that purpose. Another strange and remarkable feature has been discovered, viz. : that this endowment of the one hemisphere of the brain is not conâ€" genital, or because of its superiorâ€" ity over the other, but because it was the hemisphere that related to the most used hand of the child.

This idea was so dominant in his mind that he does not speak specifically of the "unrighteous‘"‘ in their wickedness, but simply asâ€" sumes that whoever in wickedness could do anything would be essenâ€" tially wicked. He does not mean that the righteous could be wicked ; the pronoun "their‘‘ does not refer to ‘"‘the righteous‘‘ mentioned in the first part of the verse ; it refers to the "wicked‘"" whom he suppos~‘ es, in contradistinction to the] righteous, would attempt to make him cease praying. , II.

The psalmist‘s prayer was to be continual, not an impulse to sporadic bursts of supplication. And it was to be a tribute of honor and praise. As the road over which the king was to pass, accorâ€" ding to Oriental custom, was scentâ€" ed with sweet perfume, so the God‘ of heaven was to be adored in the presence of pleasant odors. | 2.
