"quenched the power of fire." As the three Hebrews who were thrown into the fiery furnace (Daniel " "at -..- m", up"... "And what shall I more say?" The writer's mind is crowded with other heroes of the faith, of whom he would like to speak. but he has already written more extensively than he had intended. and now he must simply pile up names and in- cidents without going into details. "For the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon" (Judges 6-8) “Bank" (Judges 4, 5). "Samson" (Judges 18- 16). "Jephthah" (Judges il, 12); "of David and Samuel and the pro- phets." "Who through faith subdued kingdoms." The allusion is specially to the conquest of Canaan by Josh- ua and to the victories of David " Sun. 5:17-25; 21:15. etc.) "Wrought righteousness.” These men served a righteous God, and their lives and their legislation were in righteous. ness, a glaring contrast with the in. iquitous conduct of the Canaanites whom they subdued. “Obtained promises. This refers to all tttee, precious promises God made to the) patriarch, to Moses and Joshua, to; the Judges. and to the mam kiwi of Israel and Judah. "Stopped the) mouth of lions." As Samson (Judges 14:6); David " Sam. 17:34); and Daniel (Dan. 6:16). "God also bearing witness with them." The pronoun here refers to those who compacioned with the Lord Jesus when he was on earth, and who bore witness to his life and death and resurrection to the follow- ine, generation. "Both by signs ind wonders. and by manifold powers. and hy gifts of the Holy Spirit. ac- cording to his own will." God bore witness to the truth which they pro- claimed by miracles, and by the gifts he bestowed through the Holy Spirit. IIK-J -., . . .. - .

The "Thertfore let us also." We be. long in this company because we are servants of the same God, because our faces are turned toward the same hope, because we are bound to- gether in one great truth, centred in Jesus Christ. “Seeing we are com- passed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." We have been led through the corridors of the divine masoleum, and hidden to read the names and epitaphs of those of (whom God was not ashamed. We have felt our faith Crow stronger as we read and pondered the inspir- ing record, and, now, by a single touch, these saintly souls are depict- ed as having passed from the arena into the crowded tiers from which to observe the course which we are treading today. “Lay aside every weight." There are one thousand things that no man dare call wrong. for they show none of the charac- teristier of sin; on the contrary. they may be precious gifts which, in other circumstances, might be rich in blessing; but if they hinder you when you struggle for the best, and burden you so that you run un- worthily. then are they weights and must be laid aside. "And the sin which dot]. so easily beset us." The six words. "which doth so easily be- set us, are, in the Greek, one single word, and probably refers to cloth- ‘en. "Received not the promise. God having provided some better thing concerning us. that apart from us they should not be made perfect." These heroes of the faith had been given promises. but the promises had not been completely fulfilled, espe- cially the greatest promise of all concerning that of a Messiah, God's anointed Priest and King. For all the patriarchs, prophets, and mighty men of old before the coming of the Lord Jesus, there was only a sym- bolic sacrifice for sin, an ineom. plete access to God, a partial infill- ing, on occasion, of the Holy Spirit, an incomplete revelation of God. For us, we know God through Jesus Christ, whom to know is life eternal. “Therefore let us also." We be. "And these all, having had wit- ness borne to them through their faith."

"Wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth." Of Israelites in gen- eral (Judges 6:2); and of the pro- phets of the Lord (l Kings 18:4, 13) and of Elijah (1 Kings 19:9). “They were stoned." As Zechariah (2 Chron. 24:20-22). (Cf. Matt. 23: 35.) For the stoning of the early apostles, see the cues of Stephen (Acts 7:58, 59) and Paul (Acts 14:5. 19; 2 Cor. 11:25). "They were sewn asunder." According to tradition, this was the ewful manner of death suffered by Isaiah. (Cf. 2 Sam. 12. 31; l Chron. 2023). "They were tempted.' 'The character of the temptation is not mentioned. Doubt- less some inducement to escape sub fering by girinur up their faith is referred to. "They were slain with the sword." (See I Kings WHO; Jer. 26:23.) Thus did James suffer martydom for his faith in the Lord Jesus (Acts 12:2). "They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute. afflicted, ill-treated.” See the case of Elijah (1 Kings 19:13 and 2 Kings 1:8). Hairy garments seemed subsequently to have been a common dress among prophets, and it was sometimes adopted for purposes of deception (teen. 13:4. "And others had trial of mocking: and scourginga, yen, moreover of bonds and implisonment." See. for examples of imprisonments, theUn- stances of Joseph (Gen. 39:20); of Micaiah (I Kings 22:26, 27), of Je- remiah (Jer. 37:15). of Hanani (2 Chron. 16:10). The word here translated "tortured" means "were broken on the wheel," and the particular event, in the mind of the writer may have been the tortures of Elan-r, the scribe. and of the seven brothers, _nttrrated in the Second Book of Maccabees (6 l8-30. 7). "Women received their dead by a resurrection." As the widow of Zarephath (I Kings 17:17), and the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4:17). "And others were tortured, not ac- ceptins their deliverance; that they might obtain a. better resurrection." The fires which we should quench are those which Satan would kindle by his fiery darts (Eph. 6:16): "EU. caped the edge of the sword." As David (1 Sam. 18:11; 19:12-12); Elijah (I Kings 19); Elisha " Kings 6:14), and many others. "From weaknesses were made strong." The reference here may be to Samson (Judges 15:19; 16:28-30), or to Da- vid il Sam. 17:42), or to Hezekiah (2 Kings 2t :5). "Waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.” These classes may refer specifically to the Maccabees, though they also suit Joshua, the judges, David, etc. TORONTO "Who or the Joy that was set be- fore him endured the cross despising shame."

The lack of Phosphoric acid and lime is becoming apparent in not s few pastures in certain parts of the province with the result that pasture animals are more and more given to chewing bones, stones and wood in an effort to obtain these elements which constitute a consida ersble part of their bone.

The latest thing in British farming is the breeding of nutrias, little bea- ver‘iike animals that come from the continent ot South America. Sussex has the only farm in Europe, and at the present moment houses 200 of the quaint little beasts. though hn'idreds more are being shipped over.

"And hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." His great redemptive work was fin- ished and accepted by the Father. He is now exalted into glory at the Father's right hand (ef.

Fertilizer is best ap- plied broadcast either with the drill, with the hose or discs suspended, or with a lime spreader. mind that manure even if well-kept carries only 8-9 lbs. of Phosphoric acid (P205) and possibly 10 lbs. Potash (K20) per ton. It does carry 10 to 15 lbs. nitrogen. You will see from this that returning manure does not effectively correct the soil condition, especially where milk is being sold from the land and the breeding cattle are raising their young which means that still greater quantities of Phosphoric acid and lime are being removed in the skele- tons of beef and other meat animals that are raised and sold off the farm. The observations you mention are being made in several sections. There are two ways of attacking the problem, one, by top dressing with fertilizer of analysis which will help the crop conditions and another, by feeding approved mineral feed mix- tures which carry lime and Phos- phoric acid in forms suitable for feeding.
