aIvinc, vs. 21. People living in the desert are usuâ€" ally very poor. The buiiding of the tabernacle for the Israelites was a heavy undertaking. It could be carâ€" ried through only by the coâ€"operation, and especially the liberality, of all the prople. The eager spirit with which they gave was wonderful. "Their heart stirred them up," or more propâ€" erly, "exalted them"; their contribuâ€" tons were made in a spontaneous wood of religious enthusiasm and exâ€" altation. Further, their spirit was made willing; they did not give grumâ€". blingly or grudgingly, but willingly and cheerfully. IL THE CIFTS OF THE PEOPLE,vS. 22â€"26. The common people brought their offering. in kindâ€"metals, fabrics and hides. The principle of the tabernacle,| wit‘ . all its appointments and furnishâ€" ings, was that material forms expressâ€" ed spiritual ideas; everything had symbolical significance. So the goid, vhich was contributec in the form of ornaments for personal attireâ€"braceâ€" lets, earrings, rings, v. 22, was melted down and used for making those vesâ€" sels and parts of the sanctury that were nearest to God. The other metâ€" als, the silver and brass or more propâ€" erly bronze, were used for those parts, and vesels which were farther off rom the Divine Presence, and hence less important, v. 24. The shittim wood, or rather the acacia, which was found :. the Sinaitic penins "a, was used for making staves to sapert the sides of the tent and for building the ark. ‘Among their possessions the Israelites bad various cloths; they gave these also. Evidently there was not enough of these various cloths on hand. So the women who had technical skill in such matters ("whose heart stirred them up in wisdom") set to work to spin more fine linens and coarse goatâ€" hair material vs. 25, 26. ‘ III.

Its architecture, althought elaborate in its details, resembled the simple architecture generally to be found in the desert. It was a tent of oblong shape, with a flat u; per surface; it was made of curtairs or hangings which were held by cords and tentâ€" piis.

However preoccupied _ American opinion may be with its own internal problems, I trust that it will associate itself with this work which is indisâ€" pensable for the restoration of the world‘s business. The â€" Laasanne conference has made European opinion stage a great step forward. It will be continued by a committee which will study the question of the restoration of the countries ofâ€"Central Europe and by an economic conference which must resolve the problem of the reduction of the external indebtedness of cerâ€" tain nations and the more general problem of international economic reâ€" lations. & The naked truth is that no other European nation has so little of that security for which, paradoxically enough, the world‘s strongest military power keeps on calling. Stresemann characterized this attitude of ‘ our ‘~estern neighbor as hypocrisy, and I believe there are few Germans who do not agree. 3 The other way for Germany to obâ€" tain security is by transformingâ€"not expandingâ€"her army so that it will guarantee a certain degree of securâ€" ity; and with reference to the final German declaration at Geneva, I do not want to leave the slightest doubt that we are going to choose this way if full security and parity are denied us in the future. To speak of international peace and coâ€"operation while restricting in a thousand ways the free circulation of goods of capital and of ‘individuals, is about the same as if one boasted of the liberty of people who are kept imprisoned.

The ephod was an elabâ€" orate waistcoat in the "ront of which was a soâ€"called breastplate, or pouch, in which were the Urim and Thummin by which decisions weore received from God. The onyx stones, each of which was engraved with the names of six of the tribes of Israel, were fixed on the top of two shoul_srstraps holding th> ephod (28: 9â€"12), while twelve. precious stones, arranged in rows of four each, were fastened in front of the pouch of the ephod, 28: 17â€"21.

This mixture was used for anointing the priests to their holy office. Further, they contributed the aromatic spices which were burned on the altar of incense. These offerings, both of the common people and of the rulers, were all given freely. Germany‘ Security Facing the Future By BUD FISHER Basketâ€"making is also proving popuâ€" lar, and skinâ€"curing, fur craft, and gloveâ€"making all have their adherents. The gloves are made principally from sheep and lamb skins, and the skins of rabbits, moles, and hares are pressâ€" ed into service by the workers in furs. Another craft which the institutes are encouraging is carpentry, which is now ‘being taken â€"up a number of woâ€" men.

Cleaning Reveals Londonâ€"A "spring clean," that has lasted for 10 years, ended here reâ€" cently when the _ delicate, carved work of the Henry II Chapel at the east end of Westminster was revealâ€" ed in all its original beauty. This is being realized now, and the village women of toâ€"day are reviving these old crafts, with the encourageâ€" ment of the rural institutes. There are about 5,000 village institutes which are interested in this moveâ€" ment, and county handâ€"work exhibiâ€" tions are now being arranged, to preâ€" pare the way for a great national disâ€" play of country crafts to be held in London in November.

During the year, seven new public libraries were established, six being of the association type, and one former library of this kind having become free. The . travelâ€" ling libraries have been well patronâ€" ized, residents of small places with no library facilities availing themâ€" selves of the opportunity of getting good books at the minimum of exâ€" pense.

Sea Lions Biggest Enemies of Pacific Coast Salmon Leave the sea lions alone, free to carry on their depredations uncheckâ€" ed, and the British Columbia salâ€" mon fishery would suffer seriously, and that‘s why the Dominion Depart: ment of Fisheries sends one of its vessels to the Pearl and Virgin rookâ€" eries, west of Rivers Inlet, to carry on a lion hunt for a few days every year. This year over 1,100 lions and pups were destroyed on these two rookâ€" eries when the hunt was carried on by C.G.S. Givenchy in June. Bad weather interfered with operations, especially at the Pearl Rocks, and the lions were vyery wild and difficult to reach, but, nevertheless, the reâ€" sult of the hunt, will be that the sea lion family won‘t work is much damâ€" age to the salmon fishery in the fuâ€" ture as they would otherwise have accomplished. a fund provided for library purposes raised, possibly by a tax levy.

Just how much these resources do mean is indicated by the fact that, in normal times, the value of the prodution from the British Columbia salmon fishery may be as much as $16,000,000, and even more. The salmon runs are worth too much to allow them to be jeopardized by marauding sea lions.

The other day Lord Riddell told me a story of a talk he had with President Wilson. I bave no permission to use it, but I am sure he will not mind my reâ€"‘ peating it for your benefit. He askâ€"] ed the President how it was he had. acquired such a fine literary styleA' He was told that, at an early age,\ Mr. Wilson pere, who was a great admirer of good English, made his boy read a page or two of the best examples of literature. "Now take a pen," he would say, "and mark every unnecessary word." President Wilson said it was a difficult and weary task, but, in doing it, he beâ€" gan to perceive how exquisite was the workmanship, and so gradually developed a clear and limpid style of his own. Nobody who aspires to write Eingâ€" lish can do so without a close study of the Oldâ€"~Testament, Shakespeare, and the Prayer Book. There are many other authors with whose works a writer should make himself intimately acquainted, but these three: are the foundation of good literature. Take a féew verses from Samuel. You remember how David mourned for his son Absalom, who had driven his father out of Jerusalem. . . This is perfect literature for you! You can see the brave Joab and the depressed king, and hear the ringâ€" ing words of remonstrance. It is a real wordâ€"picture. You have not to shut your eyes and hear the somorâ€" ous sentences, to bring the whole thing before you. I will give you another example. You remember the women who were brought before Solomon, each claiming the same child. We are told how the two mourned and lamented over the baby, and then, suddenly, from the oblique narraâ€" tive the writer drops into the direct narrative. "And the King said: Bring me a sword." Not: "And the King asked for a sword," but, "And the King said: Bring me a sword." The introâ€" duction of direct narrative into obliâ€" que narratives gives a lightness and color to the story that otherwise would â€"not be possible.

When you have a couple of minutes to spare just make this simple experiâ€" ment and find out. It is worth the making, for on this quality‘ of the sight your skill â€" or lack of it â€" at cricket, tennis, hockey, fcatbhall, and indeed at all games with a moving ball, largely depends. Your ability to drive a car with safeâ€" ty to yourself and others aiso depends on it to a considerable extent. And in the third place, should you want to fly an airplaneâ€"as so. many do toâ€"dayâ€"you simply must possess this kind of sight. You will be tested to see if you possess it. It was, in fact, in connection with flying that its imâ€" portance was recognizea and dealt with, 4 Now for the experiment. You need only two thirgs for it: a friend and a lead pencil. You cannot test yourself, but you will test his sight, and he or she, in return, will test yours. Suppose you start on him:â€" You stand facing him, about a yard away.. Then take the pencil and hold it directly in front of his nose and at the level of his eyes, po‘int forward, 2 feet away from his eyes. Place him standing upright, facing a good strong light. Daylight is best, but artificial light will also do. Tell him to fix his sight on the point. Now watch his eyes closely. Move the point of the pencil very slowly towards the bridge of his nose until it is only about 2 inches away, and during this he focusses steadily on the point. What happens, or what should happen? As the point gets nearer and nearer, both eyes should turn steadily inwards or converge on the point. If that happens, his sight in this reâ€" spect is perfect. He can focus a movâ€" ing object perfectly. But, alas! that is not always so. Very often, as the pencil approaches, you will notice one or other eyo fail and turn a little. It does a little "wobble." In that case he is not quickâ€"sighted; he cannot focus a moving object perâ€" fectly. If the pencil point were a rapidâ€"moyâ€" ing cricket or tennis ball, he would alâ€" so have to focus it in this way; and if one or other eye failed, ho would lose sight of the ball. That is how you get bowled by a fast, straight ball, or fail to return a fast service at tenâ€" nis. You lose sight of the ball for a seeâ€" ond. This kind of sight has not actualâ€" ly a name: I have called it "Quickâ€" sight," because it fits the condition as near as any we possess. But its abâ€" sence, that is to say defective focusâ€" sing of moving objects, has a name. It is known as Heterophoria. To be good at games you must posâ€" sess this kind of sight; without it you are a "rabbit." A batsman of the calibre of Duileep sinjhi, or a tennis champion like Mrs. Moody or Betty Nuthall, must possess splendid focussing power of this kind, So must you, if you desire to fiy. When landing, the earth seems to come up towords you. It appears as a moving object. You must know how far you are above it, so as to flatten out at the right instant. If you don‘t do this, you will "pancake" and smash up the machine, and perhaps yourseolf, too. You aro in one movingâ€"sometimes very rapidlyâ€"movingâ€"object, and you are either overtaking other moving obâ€" jects or passing those travelling in the reverse direction. Then how does this quality of sight affect the driving of aâ€"car? In this way : â€" All this demands "Quickâ€"sight"; esâ€" pecially if you are "cuttingâ€"in." You have to judge and focus accurately to know if there will be enough space at the moment of passing. Drivers are not tested for this kind of sight, nor are they likely to be. But a good many road accidents are beâ€" lieved to be caused by this sort of deâ€" fective vision. Can a defect of this kind in sight be altered or remedied at all? That, naturally, is an important question. It would be very satisfactory if, im this respoct at least, if in no other, you could be placed on a level with the champions. The answor is that it can be done, and has been done for the last dozen years in one quarter, but that it takes some time and will cost a little money, unless you are a Aying officer, in which case it will be done for you for nothing. The focussing of moving objects is a muscular act, carried out by the litâ€" tle muscles that rotate the eyes. These are guided by nerves, You can traim and practico these muscles just as you can train and practice the muscles of the legs or arms. 1t is done by moans of an apparatus into which each eye looks separately on certain objects ang focusses thom â€"â€"a sort of "eyeâ€"drill," An hour or two of this exercise daily for a month will remedy most ordinâ€" ary cases of the defect and make & safor aviator and a better player o# games. But, of course, you need an instructor for this. True Friends ATeiy True friends visit us in prospority only when invited, but in adversity they come without invitat‘on.â€"Theoâ€" phrastus.
