Sunday School Lesson September 29. Lesson XIIIâ€" Review: Sigmricance of the Exile and the Restoration â€" Isaiah 151: 1-9. Golden Text â€" The mercy jf the Lord is everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righte- ousless unto children's children. â€" Psalm 103: 17. We do not always set the full nigniticnnce of events when they hap- pen. Wr> may be ovfrwhclniecl by some factor in the experiincv of the hour «o that we fail to sec he forces which hnvi' (K-ca.'^ioncd it or the <iircction in which it is leading us. Not until some time .las elapsed, possibly years, are we r'jlfi to see the deeper meaninR of it all and discern the hand o Provi- dence ii. it. There can be no doubt that was the case 'vilh the people of Judah and Jerusalem. When the blow fill and iii" Kasi„u Canada the iiation was torn away from .ts Farm Notes Spreading Farm Manure The use of a maiiiiie .sprcnder a» compared with hand wark \va« in- cluded in the study of tho cnat of pro- duciiiK farm crops viirricd on by I he Dominion l-'ield liusliandninii Kml hU assistants of the l-'li-ld ilusliandry DIvIbIoii of the K.Nperlmi'iital KannM.

But, vicw- e<l in the ligh; of histcjry and seen in its perspective, it ir.' more readily understood and its educative and re- demptive element more easily recog- nized. Thrnudhout the se-o.^f' Quar- ter's lessons this year we saw somc- thinjr of the forces which he! inevit- ably to the dissi.lition of the Jewish national life a.s it had been cr-nstitutcd. During this past Qu- iter we have seen these people in ?xil , at school, as it were, learning the deeper les.^ons of life from God through the prophets and teachers eiven to them. 'Then having learned â€" in >,omo measure â€" that lesson, we have seen ther- trans- planted once i,i(,re to the old ground in Judah. What differences can you point out in the Jewi.sh ite of Jerusalem in the re-established cclony from the life of tit old kingdom of Judah, as it was jj«t preceding the exUe?

God war no longer confined to PalcK- t!ne, but the Cdd of the whole earth. V'hat was the effect of Ezeki"''s teach- ),ig on their concepti.m of religion? Eradication of Couch Grass It has \ii'vn found by an experiment coiidiicled by the Field Husbandry Division of the f^\pt'riuiental [''arms that (ouch fjrass plants will be great- ly weakened if the plant Is kept clip- ped back to the surface f)f the ground for a period of two months. Tiiis cljppiug hack was niochaiiically done an<l would correspoud with close sraz- inK. Clipping was continued up to the flr^t week In October. Tlie fol- lowing spring the plants were so re- duced In vitality as to produce only very weak shoots bearing no seeds by tho monlli of September. Another experiment with ouch grass was carried out to ascertain the effect of culiivation so carried nut as to cut up the plants Into small pieces. The root stalks were separated Into pioos of inch and half-Inch lengths and each piece coutainin?: a node or joint was placed in the soil under con- ditions suitable for growth. Eighty- eight per cent, of the inch pieces aud lift; â-  ivo per cent, of the half-inch pieces produceil healthy shoots.

The sheer increase in the value of that trade is amazing enough in itself, !.ut no less astonishing is the manner in which Canada's exports have spread out into new channels. The United Kingdom and the Un- ited States have long been Ca.ia'la'.s two great customers, and until recent years other countries have taken only a minor share of the Dominion's ex- ports. Within the past fifteen years a remarkable change has occurred. Dur- ing that periml the Dominion's sales to the United Kingdom have doubled in value, those to the United tSates have trebled, and at the same time exports to "Other Countries" have risen more than seven-fold. These •'Other Countries,' formerly a minor factor, now afford a huge market out- Ill for Canadian prixluL-ts. They bought from the Dominion last year a bill of goods greater in value than the whole export trade of Ca.nada fif- teen years ago. To these widely scattered and Icier- known markets Canada's r>sourees furnish an imu'.enso variety of pro- ducts in natJral adn manufactured forms. Silver and artificial silk to India, newsprint and sardines to Aus- tralia, potatoes to (.'uba, lead and lumber to Japan, herring to China, foxes and lobsters to Sweden, oats and nickel to the Netherlands, salmon and furs to Franco, cheese and furniture to South Africa, rye to Norway, zine and asbestos to Germany, codfish and jpper wire to Brazil, aluminum and wood pulp to Italy, and, of course, wheat and flour to al! quarters of the triobe â€" these and a thou.^and and one other items help to extend the web of Canadian commerce across the seven .~oa>. The Struggle for Existence J. de (J. Dclmege in the Nineteenth Century (London): Whenever in the past til'; more and tho less civilized races li:ive made any coutlnued con- tact, at least la lands where the form- er could hope to Had a permanent abode, it Is Ihe weaker and less de- veloped people that has always gone to the wall. Where he has not beeu extirpated by fore of amis or by Ihe oppiatiou of those fatal gift sof civili- z;i(i{Ui, clothes, drink, and disease, primitive man â€" red, brown or black â€" lias almost invariably succumbed to a kiiul of vital languor. Ills immemor- ial < usloms suppressed or drastically modified, his habits of thought dis- luieiUated, life has lost Its savour for liini, anil with all his profoundly in- teresting cultiire.j he has faded silent- ly away. So, for example, the red man failed In .N'orlh America, the Aus- tralian aboriginal followed the ex- ample of the red man, and it is only in the very nick of time that the de- cllnu of the giftcrl un,l chivalrous .Maoris of New Zealand has been ar- rested, if "arrested it i)roves to he. Alone Ihe hardy and prolific negro tribes ot Africa have been able to per- sist and multiply under the domina- tion of the whites, and this persist- ence has come to be dreaded by the domiciled rnling community as likely in the course of lime to overthrow their present supremacy, political and economic. That is the essence ot the native problem of today. A NEW HEAD T.

The report of E. S. Hopkins, the D)- minion l-'ield Husbandman, for 192S, gives the details of other cx[>erimenls with couch gras.s and recommends a practical plan for tho eradication. This consists in ploughing the sod about Ave inches deep immediately after the hay crop is removed and keepln:? it worked thoroughly with cultivation at frefpienl intervals until tho aulnnin, when deep plonghins should be done. This report, publish- ed by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, covers a wide range of ex- periments in the handling ot soli in farm practice. Demonstrating the Value of Improved Live Stock In the Kasterii I'rovine.s, Manitoba, parts of .\lberta and Itritisli Columbia, tho Illustration Stations operated by tho Department ot A«ri(Ulture at Ot- tawa are becoming centres of live stock improvement. At these sta- tions fine dairy herds are being built up and Hocks and herds of very good sheep and hoKs are being established. The majority of tho station operators are now using pure-bred sires. They are keeping iiulividual milk records and making butler fat determiiKilions in order to learn the production ot each cow. In bis report for last year the Chief Supervisor ot the Illustra- tion Stations shows that the year's production ot milk and batter fal dif- fers grently on the different Station farms while the average production of fat In the Station herds varied from lOS to 121 pounds â€" a cow was fouml that yielded only 71 pounds ot butler- fat. These ontrasts show the need and possibilities of systeniatlo testing and selection. During the past year there were sold for breeding purposes by the operators of lllu.stration Sta- tions lidOG head of cattle, :!0l hogs and 201' sheep. -Issued by the fJirector ot Publicity, Doni. Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa, Ont. Character and Intellect "Antaeus" in the Spectator (Lon- don): (There is a widespread tend- ency in England to compare and on- trast intellect and character. It is believed that these <iualities are mutually exclusive, aiul that Ihe pos- session of tho one Implies the lack of the other . It is (|uite commonly as- sumed that Intelligence cannot, in liractice, be developed above a very humble level, save at the expense of character. If this confusion ot thought has ai'fected unfavorably ;he education ot our youthâ€" on whom our whole tu- ture welfare so directly depends â€" all other count.s which can be brought aijainst it may be regarded as ot minor importance. Hut It does work ureal •nischlef In many other ways. It leads to a widespread preference for men of ordinary or of inferior lulelli- gence for tho cououci of public â€" and private â€" affairs. Large numbers of suli men are to be found In Parlia- ment, on municipal and county coun- cils, on the governing bodies ot vari- ous pnl'lJe institution and on nearly all public committees. And In very many casos they owo their appoint- ment to Ihl.s popular beliefâ€" that lack i)t intelligence Implies possession ot character The loss to the luilion i;au.se(l by this slate of affairs is, in Ihe aggregate, enormous. Its eriecls are felt (everywhere. It impairs (Uir national capa( ity to deal with current problems; ami it detracts disastrously from our material and moral welfare. We (annot afford to persist in this error. Sex equality Is still in Its Infancy. we are told. Until It attains matur- ity men ran still be regarded as wo- men's equals. France and Germany Sisley Iluddle.-iton in the New Statesman (Loudon): (At the time of the fSnowden-Cheron duel at the Hague, French papers talked ot sub- stituting a Franco-German entente for the entente with Britain). In spite of superficial appearances. France and (lermaiiy can no more uuite than can oil and water. ICven it we assume that France, anticipating further struggles of another character, has need of the l.enevoleut neutrality ot Germany, it is inconceivable that Ger- numy will find .t in its interest to com- mit itself in this directfon. Yet it is strange that at a moment when we hear so much about permanent peace, about European unity, about the abanodnment of the old diplomacy, there should be these more or less veiled threats of secret diplomatic soundings. India's Agricuhure Undergoing Reform Bombay.â€" The nation building de- partments of the Nizam's Gavernment contimie to do good work, according to tho administration report of Hyde- rabad Slate for 1927, which has only recently appeared. The record ot the experimental farms in the state, of which there are six in the various districts, is com- mended. Experiments are being con- ducted In the economical growth ot crops sidled to the soil by the use ot different fertilizers and improved types ot implements. A notable feature of the activities ot the department Is the propaganda carried on in popularizing the use ol modern implemeuts and machinery, and iudiiciug the people to .arow par- ticular kinds of fruits for which parts of the state were once famous. Three foreign scholarships are granted by the Government for agricultural edu- cation. The Department of Industries and Commerce has been particularly ac- tive. New roads comprising 2;!0 miles of territory were completed by the public works department and opened for traffic. Addition has been made to the railways and some ue-A lines are also in course of construction. British Troops in Egypt Lon<ion !iIoruing Post (Cons.): The presence ot Hrilisli troops in Alexan- dria and in Ihe vicinity nf (Jairo, if it is resented by a few politicians, is popular with the mass oi the popula- tion, who know well, it they reflect at all on the subjet, that our troops are their proteclion and security. In any event, the flritish soldier gets on well with the Egyptian people, and is be- sides a very present help in time ot trouble to the foreign population. His departure from those elites v.ould leave the respectubl-> citizen very much at the mercy of an occasionally fanatical and murderous mob. which the unided Kgyptian police may be un- able to control. East Indians in South Africa Madras Hindu Weekly: So far as ihe Nationalist Ministry in South Africa lis concerned, it must be said that it has so far tried to stem the tide of ' white opposition to the elementary â- rights of Indians. But this negative attitude, useful as it has been, cannot 'be expected to redress the grievances. many aud irritating, ot liulians throughout the Union.. It will he I necessary, therefore, for Ihe Agent of the Government of India in South .Vfri- I ca to press them upon the attention of t!ie Government of South Africa with as much emphasis as he can put and put Ihe issue boldly and squarely before them that there can be no last- iing friendship belween Indians and 'Europeans unless and until the former I are considered to be as much entitled "Did she have i-ooatep tealhers on I her hat when yon saw her?"
