Many a woman has laid down her life in such a struggle and it is a debatabie ques tion in many minds _whethéw 8r not from the sacrifice to warrant it. Of courde it is a beautiful idea--that of giving life and all its possibilities, in an effort to care for an unfortunate child--but there are those who insist that the atibujjon is better equipped to care for such cases and that the sacrifice of the mother is worse than useless. But there is another side to the case and one seldom mentioned, and that is the responsibility the parents owe to the normal childrén in the home. 1 know it is a delicate subject in many homes, and the rights the normal children are often ignored in. pouring out love and sympathy upon the one who is defeetive, 'but that is not as it should be. EFFECT ON NORMAL CHILDREN. One little girl who was shamed and humiliated day after day by the irre- sponsible actions of a feeble-minded rother was roundly scolded by her mother. The little girl was saddened by the scolding, but she plucked up sufficient courage to say: "Mother, Pm your little girl ag 'much as Freddy is your little boy, but you never seem to think so." That remark set the mother to thinking, &nd she came to see that the viclous, defective child was not only not restrained by either parent, but also that the other chil- dren had absolutely no rights that he was obliged to respect. She consider- ed it cruel to shut him away from the others, so that they were helpless and afraid in his presence; while at the same time they could indulge in no constantly watched, is a drain on the, the defective child gets enough benefit, victorious career, and commissioned him to set free the captive people and {rebuild Jerusalem. Thus, he declared, | 1srael restored would "bring forth {judgment to the Gentiles," would "set Judgment in the earth," and that God would give his servant Israel "for a light to the Gentiles and for "salva- tion unto the end of the earth" Isa. 42:1-6; 49:6. The story told in the first chapters of the book of Ezra, as inspired Drophe, is to be understood not simply as the story of a people's | reBtoration; but as a step toward the | fulfilment of the gracious purpose of | God for the world's redemption. For "The Lord hath made bare his holy arm ih the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." Ezra 8:8-18. The second year of their coming, was, probably, the year B.C. 686. The altar had been built some months earlier and active steps were now taken to begin the rebuild- ing of the temple. rubbabel was the grandson of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah who was taken captive to Babylon in B.C. 697, and may be identical with Sheshbazzar who is mentioned in Ezra 1:8 as a leader of the returning exiles and a prince of Judah, and in 5:14 as governor. Je- shua was the chief priest. The Le- vites were regarded at this time as a religious order of a lower rank than the priests who were of the same | tnibe but claimed the distinction of being descendants of Aaron. They were now appointed overseers of the work of building. The Jeshua men- tioned in v. § was not the priest, but was, like Kadmiel, head of one of the families of the Levites |of Hodaviah," and Neh. 10:9). The {sons of Henadad sre also mentioned in Neh. 10:9, 10. The foundation stones were laid to the accompaniment of music and songs of praise. The ordinance of David is probably that referred to in 1 Chron. 6:81. The words of Jase of v. 11 appear in the gong attributed to David in 1 Chron, 16: 7-86, and in Psalms 106, 107, 118 and 186.

Shan 'we are confronted with a note "is. disconcerting, "the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet *" Ezra 8:6. There follows in the Ezra, an account of the lay- ing of the foundation of the temple. Tt is a touching narrative, Ezra 3:12, 18. But languor settled down over these av Fi hom a yell was expected. ast Haggai, a layman, and man of action, sti the people the Israel was plsted--but twenty years had passed ore that event was achieved. 6. The leadership of Haggai was of the utmost importance at this junctu: The stud should read through thé little book of Haggai at one sitting. This prophet rebu the people for their supine selfishness and slackness, and urged them to set to work on the erection of the Temple. But Haggal was far more than a critic. He was a singer with his face toward the future. Listen to this singer of a "yet 'more glorious day." At length the people responded to Bis courageous demand that they should realize their extraordinary privileges. Apple Recipes. The charge is sometimes made that the Canadian people do not fully ap-! preciate the excellence of their own! tries in the markets of the world, the | Canadian apple 'stands high. Indeed, the Canadian exhibit of fruit at the Imperial exhibition recently opened in London, is attracting unusual atten: | tion and favorable comment, While; it is regarded as important for the! prosperity of the Canadian orchard industry that we have a good export | trade, it would seem inconsistent tot our people to continue to import fruit of the kinds that are available at home. Everyone, it is true, is nota! + lover of apples eaten out of the hand,! but there are few who do not relish cooked fruits prepared and served ac- cording to the best practices. With a' view to securing a greater home con. | sumption of Canadian apples, which is understood to have a salutary effect | upon the health, the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa has issued in! Bulletin No. 85 a series of recipes for their use in various ways, The! bulletin, available at thei Publications Branch, names the apples that are specially good for cooking, for des-' sert.

Hot water and a good stiff bruch are the most effective means of put- fore applying the glue and making days of our fathers, and consider the fundamental principles of personal success and prosperity. So far as the farm {is concerned, it has always been a case of hard steady work, in sea- son, and with our efforts directed by intelligent thought. If we plan to make our own individual efforts on our own farms count for the moat, reduce our speculations, and farm within our own safe limits, the sur- plus of farm products are quite cer- tain to disappear. Included in our "own affairs" are certain things of public interest. We should take our full responsibility in government, support our co-operative enterprises, and give our best to the community, but in doing this, we must ever bear in mind the fact that indi- vidual prosperity is, and always will be, largely an individual problem. Government can give us the oppor- tunity, but it will always be up to us to build and maintain our own fences. There is No Physical Gain in Iliness. My boy came home from school the other day saying that he had learned that small-pox was really a good thing to have. 'I questioned the statement. "I mean it's a good thing if you get over it all right" he asserted. "Our science teacher told us about it. If you get over it you are in lots bet- ter shape than before. It cleans out your impurities and makes you over 80 you are better and stronger." In spite of the science teacher I am obliged to say that I do not know of a single illness that gives physical ain. Illness may strengthen or re- iy one's character, it may give a clearer mental vision, it may induce geen from the point of view of the fruit. In competition with other coun. ® 8FoWth of soul; but I know of not one single illness that brings physical gain, Some of you will be 'a little slow about accepting my statement because happen to know who had typhoid or appendicitis and has been a different person ever since. But why credit the improvement to the illness? ™ I knew an overworked student who came down with typhoid fever, She had been playing around the edge of destruction for nearly four years and as a physical wreck when she suc- cumbed to the disease. So her chances seemed mighty slim. Eventually she pulled through. Since graduation that year was out of the question she quit worrying about studies, stayed in bed for nearly fourteen weeks, took the whole summer for vacation, gained fifty-six pounds in weight and became a new woman.. And to this day her mother thinks the typhoid "clean out" did it. A business man who had been troubled with "Indigestion" for six years, called me one night because of his "colic." I diagnosed appendicitis and we removed his "colic" and put it in a bottle. He gained in weight from 122 fo Jb64 pounds in the next six months, and often tells his friends what appendicitis did for him. Shun illness of every kind, avoid and prevent disease, keep well. .
