pf i i Commencement Many Lone Scouts will be heaving big sighs of relief at this time be- cause of the thought that "School is Out" and long weeks of vacation He before them. Those examinations are all behind us again for a while, and we congratulate all those Lonies who have successfully graduated or passed Into a higher form. If there are any who did not make out so well this year, we urge them to show the right Scout Spirit of de- termination, and make up their minds to stick hard at it when school starts In again in the fall. Remember that your present vlc- and tame with those which you will exercised by you if you are going to experience in the future, and the same courage and determination, to an even greater degree, will have to be exercised by yo uif you are going to make the best use of your opportuni- ties and "win out" in the years to come. "Out of Doors" Scouting It should always be borne in mind that Scouting is essentially an out of doors game, and in the holidays every opportunity should be seized to prac- tice your Scouting in the fresh air. Some of you will be lucky enough to attend the Lone Scout Camp, or some other camp, but others, who maybe have to stay at home and help on the farm, will have to arrange their own camping plans. We recommend that every Lonle who lives In the country should make a camp site of his own, perhaps in the bush on his own farm, where he can spend his leisure moments, sleep out with his dad or brother or some of his chums, and be near at hand to take part in the daily activities that he is called upon to perform at home. At this "Lonle C: -ip,, he car practice his i^jroodcraft, make all the "gadgets" a regular^ camp, and have a "~- ~ ot T^O- 1'ourV.^unaster will be delighteM hear al? aWut your Camp Site, so <on't forget to write and tell him all bout it. A Mineral Detective Story A story of "mineral detective work" as related by Dr. Charles Camsell, De- puty Minister of Mines, in an article for the Professional Institute, will be of interest to Scouts in general, and In particular to those who are work- ing for the "Miner's" and "Prospect- or's" proficiency badges. During excavation work tor the Wetland Canal, a thin seam of gyp- sum was exposed. It was of high quality, but too small In quantity to be o value. A private company sought assistance from an expert geologist, who, from their fossils, identified the layers of rock above and below the thin seam of gypsum Applying this information to a geo- logical map of the area which had al- ready been made by the Geological Survey of Canada, it was predicted that if the company would drill to a depth of 90 feet at a place called Wll- ow Grove, south of Hamilton, at least 40 miles distant from the point where the original discovery had been made, they would locate the gypsum bed, and that It would in all probability be much wider. A drill hole was made, and the pre- diction was borne out. A seam seven feet thick was located, and as a result of the bit of geological Sherlock Holmes detective work a modern Plant was immediately designed for the mining and manufacture of gyp- sum them. And as Dr. Camsell points out, the wizardry became possible be- cause men had learned to tell U fo8 " slls always tu. ln d j n one sKatum of rock from those lway fnund in an- other.

Lone Scouting Is mainly designed to take care of boys who live on farms, in small villages where there is no Si.-out Troop, or In rural localities. Full particulars regarding the activi- ties of this organization, which is a branch of the greatest "Boys' Club' in existence, covering the whole civil- ized world, may be obtained from The Lone Scout Department, Boy Scouts Association, 330 Bay Street, Toronto 2 Why not write to-day and find out all about it?

"He idn't have anything to sell to our lerchants, he wasn't trying to ln- iroduce valuable literary works to :he few persons in the community of sufficient culture to appreciate 'em, and he quietly told everybody who inquired that he did not wish to buy land. He sat around here in the office some and read a book, and the I rest of the time he strolled about in I town and looked at things in a I casual sort of way. "To one gent who asked him if it :. didu't look right smartly like rain of to the south'rd, he replied that I did. And when another inquired if he hadn't met him sorae'rs, he ans- wered that it was quite likely, inas- much as he had be>>n there several times.

G'olden Text Certainly I will be with thee. Exodus 3: 12. ANALYSIS. I. A GREAT COMMISSION, VS. 10-12. II. THE .<fAME OF GOD, VS. 13-15. III. A GREAT MAN SHRINKS, 4: 10-12. INTRODUCTION The great men ol the Bible traced their life-tasks back it the will of God. They were distinct- ly conscious of a time when they re- ceived a call from God to their work. Usually their call came in a vision of God, followed by a commission from him in which the nature of their task was unfolded. So it was with Moses. He was tending his father- in-law's flocks in a lonely part of the wilderness close by the slopes of Mount Sinai or Horeb, as it was some- times called, v. 12. At the time, he was probably nrooding over the op- pression of his countrymen in Egypt. "A great sight" (v. 3) attracted his attention. A desert bush or shrub was burning, but was not consumed. Travelers in thise par*? inform us that "certain small bushes of the des- ert emit conmbustible gasc-s which, when they have given off in sufficient quantities, are ignited by the great heat of the eastern sun. The flame plays round the branches of the bush, which, so far from bfing injured, ap- pears to enjoy its baptism of fire." But to Moses this was obviously no natural phenomenon; to him it was a sheer marvel; God was in the matter. Little wonder, ..hen, that he heard God calling from the bush, "Moses, Moses." His great hour had come. A revelation of God now broke upon him that not only constituted him a leader of his people, but opened a new and glorious epoch for Israel. I. A GREAT COMMISSION, VS. 10-12. God had made it plain thta he w:u. sleeplessly watching the evil plight into which his people had fallen. "I am come down to deliver," v. 8. God, however, works through human agen- cies; Moses was the one chosen for this crisis. "Come now I will send thee," v. 10. This i 1 the paradox of the divine operation in history it was God who wrought the exodus out of Egypt; it was Moses who carried it out under him. "I am come down to deliver" "Come now I will send tl.ee" -both of these statements aru true. Moses took the measure of the task laid upon him and realized that i' was stupendous. He was to appear before the great and mighty Pharaoh with the demand that his people should be set free; he was also to quicken the desire for freedom in a people already somewhat inured to slavery, v. 11. "Who am I that I should go?" he cried. Like most of the great prophets, he shrank from hi.> task. It was not that he was without sympathy for the project nor that he was cowardly. His wavering came from comparing is slender persona' resources with the magnitude of fie undertaking. Ue -v;.s met with tin- promise of divine ne'.p "Certiiinly 1 will be with thee.'' Moses -was fur- ther assured that doubt woujd pass into certainty, and faith into sight when the Israelites, finally liberated from Egypt, would worship their G< <} on the slopes of Mount Sinai by whi'h lit 1 was standing. This mountain w;is regarded as God's local habitation : hence it was peculiarly sacred. II. THE NAME OF COD, VS. 13-15. Moses raised yet another difficulty when he suggested that the people cf Israel might be incredulous of his mission. They would demand his cre- dentials; above all, they would aal regarding the name of the God whc had sent him. In that day there were lords many and gods many," and eacl had its own proper name. How was Israel to know that it was not a fa god who had rent Moses? One woule expect God to have answered, "Ms name is Jehovah"; this was the pro- per name of Israel's God. In place o saying "Jehovah" God answered wit an interpretative phrase which, in th Hebrew language, sounded somewha similar to the name, Jehovah. Th significance of God's answer is at realized unless it is translated, "I wil be what I will be." Profound depth are -lisclosed in this phrase. God' self-manifestation is not exhausted i the past: he is the God of the future The future alone will be able to un fold all that is in tfce fulness of hi being. All this may have been ver mysterious to the shepherd, Moses, but God met him on more certain ground when he assured him that he was the same f!od whom the ancestors of Israel had had to do. lie was the God of the past. As he had beu with the patriarchs in the past, so he would be with the people of Israel now and ever. These gracl -us ideas would always be tssociatsj with nib name, v. 15 III. A GREAT HAN SHRINKS, 4: 10-U'. One commentator has counted four difficulties raised by Moses in con- nection with the task assigned him. His shrinking from his God-given commission may be taken as the nieas ure of the seriousness with which h finally assumed the work. The diffi- culty here raised refers to his lack < f persuasive powers. The art of fluent, persuasive speech would be needed with one like Pharaoh! v. 10. God, ; n reply, reminded Moses that man's faculties all tind their source in his sovereign will, v. 11. Not only will he endow Moses with the gift of speech, but he will suggest, as occa- sion arises, what ae should speak, "i will be with thy mouth." God will ?o inspire Moses that the words of his mou will be the woids of God him- self. ,* T A Summer Day When that the misty vapor was agone, And clears and falr was the morn- ing.

Warbles Dry Up The cattle in some 60 herds, abou 2000, on farms near Guelph, wer treated by wetting their backs wit) a warble killing wash. The warbl grubs were killed while still beneath the skin, between March 1st an May 24th. The dead grubs wither ed up and were ejected through th hole in the skin in less than tw weeks. The holes In the skin rap Idly healed. The cattle treated were saved much soreness and irritation and it was pleasing to see the way the badly warbled backs cleaned up This meant a saving to the cattl owners as the period of torment was very much reduced, and the cattl relieved of much unnecessary suffer Ing. A warbled back Is a verj painful condition. If the cows could talk they would tell us in force ful words, of our neglect to contro the warble fly. Either derrls now der or pyrethrum powder mixed wit" soap and water, at the rate of one half pound in either case, with on gallon of water. This wash 1 brushed on the back of the anima" over the grubby area. An ordlnar dandy brush is best, as the stiff bristles, will uncover the grub hole and perm t the liquid to soak in o top of th e offending grub. With th grubs all dead there can be no flies A Child's Love It is a sweet thing to enjoy child's love. It is so spontaneous full and free, so outspoken and con tiding, so natural and tender that i constantly reminds one of love o Heaven. To enjoy once In one's the pure gushing ot a child's friend ship is to taste of a sweetness aeve to be forgotten. The memories o such an enjoyment linger aroun one's heart like dreamy soliloqule of a past existence in some abode o purity and beauty. To lose them would be to lose Islands from th sea, oasis from the desert. The are types of what friendship shoul< be; symbols of what it will be. The are the flowers of Heaven, sown o earth. Tlioy bear the fragrance o the skies. The beauty of God' Kingdom sparkles within them, am the love of our Father's horn breathes from their pure youn. hearts.
