Â¥) NOTES AND COMMENT S It will have, been . noti¢ed _wit" j satisfaction" . that the . battleship §"w Elizabeth is taking part in | bombardment of the Dardanâ€" elles forts. Her eight 15â€"inch guns seem to have worked great havoc, and to have been & very useful adâ€" dition to the 12â€"imth guns on the Inâ€" fiexible, and the Agamemnon. The latter only carries four of the bigâ€" gest guns, while the Queen Elizaâ€" beth has eight," in addition to twelve 6â€"inch guns. The weight of metal thrown by these big guns is terrihic, and the accuracy with which they shoot most disconcertâ€" ing. The Tiger and the Lion each earry eight 13.5 guns, and the exe eution they accomplished in the recent North Sea battle was notorâ€" ious. The Queen Elizabeth is the first battleship to carry 15â€"inch guns, and being the biggest ship in the navy was probably sent to the Dardanelles for the express purâ€" pose of reducing the forts. The Germans were very proud of their 42â€"centimetre or 16â€"inch mortar . At the beginning of the war. That has z shorter barrel and range to the naval gun. The latter can apPÂ¥ rently fire quite effectively and with great accuracy at a range of 15 miles. therefore are all probably in comâ€" wission. These ships are almost 42000 tons heavier than the Ramiâ€" Hes, Resolution, Revenge, Royal Oak and Royal Sovereign, another battle squadron carrying eight 15â€" inch guns apiece, which should be about complete by now. This would wive Great Britain ten ships with eighty 15â€"inch guns, all of which can stand 15 to 18 miles off their The Queen Elizabeth is a ship to the Valiant, Warspite laya and Barham all of which laid down at the same time therefore are all probably in #ens dowbt the resu Queen Elizabe 'ul].y noted.

It need not be thought that the whole British navy is quite inactive. It is quite possible that surprising â€" developâ€" ments may occur shortly if rumor bas any truth in it. When the Thirty Years War broke out, in 1618, Germany boastâ€" id sixteen millions of population. In 1648, when the war ended, the population had been reduced _ to four millions. On the same basis if this war lasts thirty vears the 60,â€" »0,000 Germans will be reduced to 15,000,000,. or at the rate of 500,000 & vear.

The amount of exercise required to keep one person in good condition â€"would quickly exhaust, and might possibly kill, another. Most persons who wish to be strong and well, and who have no desire to compete in athletics, should aim at the general wellâ€"beâ€" ing of the whole system rather than at developing muscle. _ That is iespvcial]y important for those who have passed the age for athletic ' & 3 (Hop s wves too Some forms of exercise are quite as valuable for the nervous as for the muscular system ; in exercises that call for skill and balance, such as billiards and fencing, it is the nervous, rather than the muscular | system that receives an education. |\ Some games, such as baseball, basâ€" ket ball, golf and tennis, not only develop the muscles and educate the nervous system, but are useful in training the will, steadying the temper, and promoting good judgâ€" ment and selfâ€"reliance.

The egg will carry the bone into the stomach, and the potatoes will prevent it from doing injury there. Recent experiments have shown that the endurance of thin people is much greater than that of the stout. This is due to several causes. The cireulation of thin people is better, their bheart action usually better. and they more easily eliminâ€" ate the waste matter from the sysâ€" tem Well chosen gymnastics should be a part of each day‘s programme, for by strengthening and developâ€" ing the muscles they will give poise to the system and power of control to the brain. _ Exercises that strengthen the spinal cord and help to control balance are requir ed for steadying the nerves.

Recall the historical situation at the beginning of the period of the Judges. Bring out by rapid quesâ€" tions the principal facts: The Isâ€" raelites were not in undisputed possession of the land ; almost conmâ€" stant warfare prevailed ; the tribes were subject to attack both from the Canaanites and from new inâ€" vaders from the desert; unity among the tribes was lacking ; there was no central goyernment and no fixed national policy. The explanation of the failure of Israel to completely possess the land. Lesson I. Had Jehovah‘s command to make no league with the inhabitants and to break down their altars been fulfilled ? (Read Judg. 2. 1â€"5).. How is the patient discipline of God by means of which he led his people to higher standards of righteousness indiâ€" cated by the writer of Judges!

He first seeks proper parents. â€" When Manoah and his wife, who were spiritually responâ€" sive, inquire how the child is to be trained and what he ought to be led to do, what is the reply of the messenger? It has to do wholly with the life of the mother. Childâ€" training is exceedingly important, but even more important is parentâ€" training. Many parents would do better to give relatively more atâ€" tention to their own lives, dependâ€" ing more upon the silent influence of example and less upon comâ€" l mands and exhortation. oo Human friendship and affection: lead to profound spiritual choices on the part of Ruth. Lesson VI. In the unselfish affection of Naomi we see one of the most beautiful fruits of true religion. Show how the whole nature of Ruth respondâ€" ed. Can we not always depend upon the response of human nature to unselfish affection ? Is there anyâ€" where a nature so cold and hard that it cannot be transformed by love! Does not God now, as ever, expect to win aliens to himself through the sympathy, love, and friendship of his people? A plan approved of God for preâ€" paring a great religious leader. Lesson VII. Recall to the class by rapid questions the birth and training of Samuel. He was given in answer to prayer. In infancy he was dedicated to the Lord. He was surrounded by religious influences and examples. . What was the reâ€" sult? When, as a boy, the Lord called him, he had the hearing ear and the obedient spirit. Israel suffers because of the moral and religious weakness of those who should have been her leaders. Lesson VIII. Eli fails in the moral discipline and the reliâ€" gious training of his sons, and Israe!l is shamefully defeated. How shall the Kingdom of God make progress without leaders! Where can we look for leaders exâ€" cept to the homes of the righteous ! Failure in homeâ€"training spells deâ€" feat every where. In the victorious leadership of Samuel we see the ripe fruit of his early religious training and experiâ€" ence. Lesson IX. Bring out by questions some of the strong qualiâ€" ties of Samuel‘s character and leadership. In precept and practice he exalted righteousness; he was a man of prayer ; he was loyal to the religious institutions of his time ; he recognized the divine leading ; he regarded himslf simply as God‘s servant. In response to Israel‘s entreaty (God grants to them a king. Lesson X.

He whist led when he went on errands, he whistled when he helped mpther about the house, and he whistled when he played. One day Bobbies‘ mother sent him to the creamery for a quart of milk. She gave him a quarter, and told him that he would get back fifâ€" teen cents. _ Bobbie started off, whistling merrily. The man at the creamery gave Bobbie a jar of milk a bright silver dime a,mi a pickel. Bobbie put the money into his coat pocket. His mother met him at the door and took the milk, She was in a hurry and did not ask Bobbie for the money, and Bobbie forgot all about it. Bobbie saw that his moâ€" ther had company ; so he went into the yard and he played by himself | until the little boys next door came home from school. "Gome to the store with us, Bobâ€" bie?‘ called Jack and Fred. Bobbie ran and asked him mother whether he might go. His mother said; ‘‘Yes," and the three little boys started off down the street. While Jack and Fred were doing their errands Bobbie stood by the counter, _ whistling and looking longingly at the candy. His hands were in his pockets, and suddenly he felt something hard. He pulled out a nickel and a bright new dime. Bobbie stopped whistling, and tried for a minute to think who had givâ€" en him the money ; but he could not remember. He quickly bought the candy that he wanted, and when the other boys were ready to start for home he showed them what he had. They ate the candy on the: way home, and went to play in Bobbies‘ sand pile. They were all having a delightful time in the sand, when suddenly Bobbie stopâ€" ped whistling. He had remembered that the money was his mother‘s and not his. Just then his mother called him. He walked slowly up the path to the house, instead of running, as he usually did. He tried to whistle, but he found there was a lump in his throat that stopâ€" ped him. He wondered what he should say to his mother about the money ; but his mother was busy with her company, and she did not ask him about it. TORONTO All the time that Bobbie was eatâ€" ing his supper he was very quiet and when he had finished he slipped from his seat and went into theâ€"livâ€" ing room. Again and again he tried to make the whistle noise, but he found that the lump came and stopâ€" ped him every time that he tried. When his mother was helping him to get ready for bed he was so quiet that she asked, ‘"Aren‘t you feeling well, dear?‘ But he only answerâ€" ed, ‘‘Yes, mother, Bobbie‘s all right." Oh, why did not his mother ask him about that money ! He wanted to tell her; he wanted to ask her why he could not make the whistle noise any more ; he wanted to ask her about the lump in his throat ; but his mother tucked him cosily into his little white bed and kissed him. Then she turned out the light and went downstairs. Come e Caaic 2 NOC CE 0 CE see Later in the evening, when the company had gone, Bobbie heard his mother come upstairs, and he called to her, "O mother, I cant‘ make the whistle noise any more, and I‘m so sorry about the money."

Jesus says in so many words that we must ‘"resist not eyi!;" Paul says in equally categorical fashion that we must ‘‘overcome evil!" Where is there any reconciliation between these diverse commandâ€" ments of the two great leaders of early Christianity ! A glance at the context in either case will give us, I believe, the anâ€" swer to this baffling question. In the Sermon on the Mount, wherein He lays down with such emphasis the principle of nonâ€"resistance, Jesus is very plainly speaking from the standpoint of the old decrees of the Mosaic law. ‘‘Ye have heard that it hath been said,"‘ are His words, ‘"an eye for an eye and A Ltooth for a tooth." Here, surely, is reference to such passages a% I‘EX- 10 PERCEUIOOE MR MIICC EO x®) odus xxi., 23 ("‘life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, wound for wound, stripe for stripe"), and Deuteronâ€" omy xix., 18 ("‘life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, footlfor o t 00 .2 ies Ans Rii dn ons o o e io. o foot"). It was this ancient law and prevailing custom which Jesus was here combatingâ€"the rendering of evil for evil, the meeting of vioâ€" lence with violence, the challenge of hatred by hatred. ‘"Bo shalt thou put the evil away from among you,"‘ said Moses. But not so, reâ€" torted Jesus. ‘For I say unto yOu. that ye resist not evil" in any such fashion as this. There is a higher, better, more effective way of putâ€" ting ‘"evil away from among you."‘ This is the way of kindness, generâ€" osity, forgiveness, good will. The law of security is the law of love. "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and perâ€" secute you." This do, and thou [ shalt‘ live !

The Maori trouble came, and when the blacks ran short of ammunition for their fourteenâ€"pound guns they rushed the printing works at Waikâ€" ato and charged their weapons with tyne and stereo blocks. Bir John Gorst, who had taken refuge with the British troops, declared that he was nearly "potted" with one of his own poems. Precious stones, gold and silver coins, and articles of jewelry have all been used as bullets at one time or another, and history tells us that when Napoleon invaded Italy the bullets which were fired at the Ausâ€" trians and Sardinians were conâ€" structed from the plate of church altars. # In 1793 Britain besieged Pondiâ€" cherry from Gondeloor and from the sea. The town ran out of proâ€" jectiles, and all the iron in the place was used as shot: The railâ€" ings round monuments, and the vans and crosses of the churches and public buildings were turned into missiles. When all the iron had been ex hausted the head of the caste of the Vella of Pondichergy went to the Governor and said : ‘"Sir, when I learned that you had powder but no projectiles 1 sent to the ramâ€" parts 50 chests of rupecs. They should make excellent grape shot !"‘ And the cannon vomited forth coins. Every gold coin and every article of gold, silver, and other metal in the capital of Princess Conde was melted down and made into bullets when the hosts of Akbar surrouadâ€" ed Amadanger, while the Afghans in their wars with us not only used native money and ornaments as bullets, but also the British spent cartridge cases p‘cked up on the fo‘d of battle. suitor feet."

Here, now, is ‘the reconciliation of our texts; and here at the same time is the true interpretation . of the familiar and yet much misunâ€" derstood doctrine of nonâ€"resistâ€" ance. To the average man . nonâ€" resistance means passivity, inacâ€" tion, feeble acquiescence in th« evil, cowardly surrender to th« strong. And he is perhaps justified in this conception by the phrase itâ€" self, which seems to convey exactly this idea. As a matter of fact, howâ€" ever, the phrase is a misnomer and the interpretation based upon it false. Nonâ€"resistance is in essenc« the most militant and aggressive of policies.
