More than 500 lives wea-e lost in the sinking of the Oour- •gcous, which usually carried about 1,200 men. Other naval crafts in the vicinity rushed to the scene and it ia thought that the submarine responsible for the sinking was also sent to the bottom.

Sunday School Lesson LESSON I THE INFANCY OF JESUS Matthew 1 and 2 Printed Text, Matt. 2:13-23 Golden Text. â€" And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God wiith us. M«tt. 1:23. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" The time of our Lord's birth is still a matter of dispute, but by many it is placed in De- cember, 5 B.C. The visit of the wise men probably took place in February, 4 B.C. The Flight Into Egypt Matt. 2:13. -Vow when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appearcth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise and take the young child and his mother, and nee into Kgypt, and be thou there until I tell thee; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14. And he aro.«e and took Uie young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; 16. and was there until the death •f Herod; that it might be fulfill- id which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying. Out of Egypt did I call my son. The prophecy here ((uoted is found in H^jS; ' ' :1. When God is telling Uie story of his love to Israel, he Miys to them: "I loved you and brought you out of Egypt. Egypt lo you was a place of oppression, Oie place of slavery." There was • great exodus, and he led the exodus out of Egypt. Now, four hundred years after the voice of prophecy, a child is b<jrn, the child upon whom all the hopes of God should rest, and therefore the hopes of men. The child â- harrh the result of the sin of his own people, and is driven by the corruption of IktbcI (which rc- â- nMed in the Edomitc Herod be- ing on the throne) ir.to Egypt. As of old, God love<l Lsrael when a child, and brought it out of Egypt, so his love centers still up- on the king who is yet to build a eity and establish a nation, and be al.«o shall come out of Egypt, and coming out shall lead the cxo- das with others following. Slaughter of the Babes 16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise- anen, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Belhlthem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, ac- cording lo the time which he had esartly learned of the Wise-men. 17. Then was fulfilled that which was sp.iki'r. through Jeremiah the prophet, sriying, IS. A \oice was heard In Uamah, weeping and great mourning, Ilachcl weeping for her children; and she would not he comforted, becau.se thoy are not. Herod's massacre of the babes of Hethlehem of course did not a<hievt' its object. The pro- phecy referred to here is to be found in Jcr. ,'il :!.'>. Uachel is introduced here to represent t'e common giief of Israel, at the eroelty of Nebuchadnezzar sever- al centuries before. Return lo Nazareth lii. lint •vhcii Herod wa.s dead, behold, an an-;*'! of the I.ord ap- pcareth in » dream lo Joseph in Kgypt, .miying, 20, Ari?u- and take Ifcc young child and his mother. and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead htat sought the child's life. 21. And he rose and took the young child and his mo- ther, and came into the land of Israel. 22. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Ju- daea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thith- er; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee. 23." And came and dwelt in a city called Nazar- eth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene. In these two chapters of Matt- hew we have the miracle of the virgin birth of Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost; we have the miracle of messages from heaven, there being four, all of them coming by way of dreams in two of which appeared the an- gel of the Lord himself; there is the miracle in nature of the star that guided the wise men to Beth- lehem; and there is, finally, the great miracle of fulfilled prophecy, five prophecies being referred to in these two chapters, one from Isaiah, one from Micah, one from Hosea, one from Jeremiah, and one a summary of the tecahings of all the prophets concerning the humiliation attending the birth and residence of the Savior. Hea- ven sends for the accomplishment of God's purpose in this event the Holy Spirit, the holy prophetic writings, the ar.gels, the .star. Tourists Keep Hotels Crowded Thousands From U. S. Make Trips To Canada And Not To Europe Hotels and tourist homes in Can- ada are benefiting as a result of the war In Europe. Thousands of American tourists, who i -arily vlsti either Britain or Continental Europe in the summer have now decided to confine their holidays •-> the American side of the Atlantic. In consequence hotel registra- tions, which ordinarily show a great dixip Immediately after La- bor Day and the commencement of school in the United States, are still very numerous. Staffs of city hotels are being kept on at full summer strength. Washing eggs is not advised; water removes the "bloom" pro- tecting the shell. Medical Science Slowly Mastering Many Diseases Death Rate Has Been Lowered Conaiderably in the Pa«t Half Century That the progress of science dur- ing the last fifty years has been of real benefit to mankind is now shown by a review recently given by Sir Edward Mellanby, Secre- tary of the Medical Research Couneil, England. Even In the year 1900 typhoid fever killed over 6,- 000 people in Great Britain. Nowa- days even a mild epidemic cause<> 'a public ecandal. The last fifty years has, in fact, witnessed a sei'- ies of triumphs in the medical field about whose value to society as a whole there can be no doubt what- ever. Not so very long ago pulmonary tuberculosis was responsible for nearly 3,000 deaths annually in ev- ery 100,000 of t^Q population. In 1937 there were only 690 deaths per 100,000. Diphtheria is being rapidly overcome by suitable pre- ventive Inoculation. The death rate in many large American and Canadian towns has been reduced to minimal propor- tions; and in Hamilton, Ontario, a town of 175,000 inhabitants, not a single case has been diagnosed in the last five years. Discovery of Insulin In the field of uio-ehemistry also there have been equally beneficent advances, says Sir Edward Mellan- by. The discovery of insulin has saved thousands of lives in the case of diabetes and enabled many more thousands of sufferers to lead comfortable and active lives. The same is true in respect of ..pernicious anaemia, thanks to the discovery and application of liver and certain stomach extracts. More recently still the discovery of the sulphanilamlde group of the compounds has brought a new and already proven weapon into the field against a large group of bac; teria-produced diseases. Surgery Again, in the field of surgery, particularly of the brain, chest and thyroid, there have been similar triumphs. Tumours In portions of the brain which, fifty years ago, would have been considered as wholly Inaccessible, are today be- ing successfully removed with re- rtoration to health and normal life on the part of the patients con- cerned. Pears, more than any other fruit, arc affected by temperature changes, temperaiture being held bo be the most important single factor relating to their handling, T)articularly in cold storage.
