(iroliably about 701 U.C. J'luce â€" Jer'.isulom. The things taikeil about iu this lesson are tb«> things which all nun tn every ago nio.^i deeply long , for, hihI strive for. â€" Joy In tbeli fwn hearts, prusi>erliy in their 1Ivp« and in their nation, and abidiui; pence.

E.";: 1, Ilo, evtiy one thai 4'ilrsteth. come je> to the waters, and he that hath no money; conic yc. buy. and eat; yea. come, buy irino ajid milk ivithout money am' without price. 2. Wherefore do yt spend money for that which Is not bread? and your labor for that ffliirh satisfieth not? hearken dili- gently unto me, and eat ye tliat which is good, and let your soul de- liglit Itself In fatness. Three lues- j^apable realities, existing In tlie soul of every man without God, are here set forth In strikingly pictur- esque and symbolic language: mau Is de.scrihed as thirsting, as huii- gry, and as having exhausted liis resources upon those things which » failed to bring the satisfaction he expected from them. With this di- rliiely accurate analysis of man'.'? Innermost needs are also announc- ed (iod's abundant ability and gra- cious willingness to supply these needs freely; for the thirsty there Is water; for the hungry wine, milk and bread; and for those who have apent their money for the things which failed to satisfy, Joy and peace for their hearts. In almost every word of these two verses God's love for man, and God's desire that man should b« salsfied, God's knowledge of man's restlessness and dissatisfactions appear; the whole of the second^ Terse Is a great plea on the part of God with mau to no longer ex- pend his money on the things thftt never satisfy, but to receive freely by grace, from him, his bounteous gifts, that their souls should delight themselves la fatness. lOXHORTATION' TO ISRAKL 3. Incline your ear, and come unto m«; hear, and your souls shall live: and I will make an everla.^'- Ing covenant with you, even the stu'e mercies of David, i. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples a leader and comman- der to the peoples. 5. Behold, thou slialt rail a na- tion that thou knowest not; and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Is- rael; for he hath glorified thee. No doubt this particular paragraph re- fers more particularly to the na- tion of Israel as a whole than to Individuals, though of course, a nation is only made up of Individ- uals, and cailnot do anything good or evil except through the actions and words of the individuals In the nation. There Is a backward looli here to Israel's great and glorious king. David, with whom the Ix)rd had made a deeply significant coven- «tit in the early days of hta life.. SWEK I'HB I.ORU 6.

Would Conserve Resources Here Canadian Scientists Organize To Save Our Birds, Animals, Fish, Forests, Water Supply From Depletion A. new onslaught is to be made against tlie forc6.s wiiich are deci- mating Canada's natural resources, It was disclosed following a recent meeting of Canadian scientists at Quean's University. The Cauiidian Ccnservatlon As- sociation w;is broiiglit into being at this meeting. Among its founders was Prof. V. C. U'ynue-Ed wards, of the department of zoology at Mc- Gill University, and II. W.

EXPi;UTS WORK ON If One of the first objects of the a.ssociatiou will be to obtain accur- ate information on all the sporting and conservation groups of the Dii- niinion. The association hopes to act as an advisory body for the whole of Canada on problems of louservation involving birds, ani- mals, fish, fore.sts, and. as well, the liroblems of soil and water conser- vation, which -are important in some parts of Canada. The association has a limited inembersliip and Includes sporis- meu, biologists, forestt^ra, engineers and other experta. as well as niem- bers of the civil service. Its niem- borshlp Is drawn from every pro- vince. The president is Dr. Joha D. Detwiler, of London, Out.

The Wild West Deglamorized McGill Study Leaves Us Only tha Wid« Open Spacea ta Conjure With â€" No Raal Cowboya JJevotoes of wild west filmti and literature are duo for a distinct shock when they read the latest volume from McGlll University, en- titled "Pioneering In the Prairie Provinces." It is the joint work of Dr. C. A. Dawson, head of the de- liartment of sociology at McGlll and SIlss Kva It. Younge, research as- sistant In the department of social research. The book Is one of a ser- ies of nine on the general topic "Ca- nadian I''ronticrs of Settlement." Tho "wild and woolly West" is deglamorized lo the 'nth degree in this latest sociological study, a product of several veins research work Iu the Prairie Provinces. The volume humorously points out; "Scenes are still enacted and deeds are celebrated In song by cowboys and cowgirls, many of whom have never been west of Brooklyn or I'o- rcmto." HARD TO MAKK LIVING Under the heading "Typical Com- munities in Action," the volume states that "the favorite social ga- thering is the dance," and "in the summerr-time the big event Is the annual sports day." No mention is made of the colorful round-up, but there Ls detailed description of the task of making a living and of the trials and difficulties which face pioneers and their descendants In bnilding up the fabric of communal life. The highlight of the "progress" It seems, Is the mounting load of debt as living standards go upward. Farm Notes . . . Beauty Culture For Farm Homes In a remarkable address by Mr. C. H. Hodge, editor of the Farm- er's Magazine, Toronto, on the oc- casion of a recent meeting of tha Quebec Horticultural Federation, in Montreal, the topic was tha beautification of fann homes in Ontario. With the aid of coloured lantern slides the speaker describ- ed the transformation of the homos of those who entered com- petitions sponsored by his paper. As Mr. Hodge expressed it, we owe to our children the enduring; memory of an attractive home, one that in after years they t'an recall with pleasure and pride. Mr. Hodge showed how marvel- lously the appearance of a farm home can be improved by a little trimming and painting, by tidy- ing uj) around it, giving some cave to the lawn and especially by planting flowers. The other day the writer heard of a man who of- fered a house for sale at $3000.00 and foiuid no bidder. He then spent ?-40.00 on a paint .iob and sold the house easily for $4000.00. Surrounding* of the Home The Ontario Crop Improvement Association has for its slogan: "Better rural conditions through crop improvement." It is a strange anomaly that many a farmer who takes great pleasure and pride in his thriving field crops, cultivated and fertilized with consumate care, is indifferent to the immed- iate surroundings of the farm house. Thanks to Mr. Hodge, it may now be said that "the old order changeth, yielding place to new." Plans Are Laid For 1941 Census War or peace, the decennial cen- sus of Canada will be taken on the schedule in litll. Officials of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics are busy preparing for the counting of heads and the compilation ot hun dreds of volumes of figures which give a complete picture of the .growth of Canada in wealth and In l>opulatlon. On June 2, 1941, some 10,000 en- umerators will' start ringing door bells from coast to coast, asking tiuestions and filling In the answers on big sheets of paper. They will rnnnt. not ouly the 'men, women and children In Can- ada, but the horses, cows. pigs. Siheep and poultry. Tlioy will note POP Flying Speed racial origin, rellgloi., occupatiou, ace, wagoe, employmeut or lack of employment, livestock and acre>tige ia crop on farms. BET'RTOK.N' 11,000,000 AND 12,000,000 Population of Canada at the last census, in 1931, was JO,S76,0«0. Since then It has been increaslus at the rate of alwut lOt^.OOO a year, according to estimates based on the births and deaths, immigratioa uni emigiatlou. So the next census pra- bably will show a population of be> tween 11,000,000 and 12,000,000. Most notable changes will be shown In the Increases in particu- lar di-itrlcts, cltlM acd town«. The' mining area of Northwestern Que- bec, for lustance, will report many thousands of people where there were only iiundreds In 19.^1. This Curious World r'.r:: A see OTHER. AAE,MBEJ3.
