Ul. tae GIFTS. OF THE INTRODUCTION--The tabernacle was a place of worship erected by a people vho were wandering in the desert. + dn its details, resembled the simple _ architecture generally to be found in _ the desert. I was a tent of oblong shape, with a flat uj per surface; it ~ was made of curtairs or hangings which were held by cords and tent- pins. Like the tents of modern Be- «douin, it comprised two compartments, divided each from the other by hang- irgs. The one compartment was a ccurt for the lay worshipers, the other u shrine or holy place within which - was an inner shrina cr holy of holies. Only the priests had admittance to the holy place, ani cnly the high priest could enter the holy of holies. "Let them make me a sanctuary," said God; "that I may dwell among chem," 2: 8, "We inay observe," says Driver, "that by one of its principal names, 'the dwelling the tabernacle expuesses, in a sensible form, the trath of God's presence in the mids. of his people; by another of its priicipal names, the tent of meeting, it gives expression to the truth that God 1s not only himself' with his people, but that he reveals himself to thew; by its third name, the tent of witness or testimony, it re- n'laded the Israelites hat in the Deca- logue (the Ten Commandments) in- scribed on the tablets in the Ark, it "contained an everprcsent witness to "the claims of God and the duty of man. I. THE SPIRIT OF 'GIVING, v8. 21. " Péople living in the desert are usu- ally very poor. The buiiding of the tabernacle for the Israelites was a \ * heavy undertaking. It could be car- ? ried through only by ihe co-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 prop- erly, "exalted them"; their contriba- tions were made in a spontaneous + 'mood of religious enthusiasm and ex- altation, Further, their spirit was made willing; they did not give grum- 'blingly or gradgingly, but willingly and cheerfully. II, THE GIFTS OF THE PEOPLE,VS. 22-26. The common people brought their offering. in kind--metals, fabrics and hides. The principle of the tabernacle, wit' all its appointments and furnigh- ings, was that material forms express- ed spiritual ideas; everything had symbolical significance. So the goid, v ich, was contribute in the form of ornaments for personal attire--brace- lets, earrings, rings, v. 22, was melted 'down and used for making those ves- sels and parts of the sanctury that were nearest to God. The other met-, als, the silver and bross or more prop- 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 i the Sinaitic penins "la, was used for making staves to sapcrt the sides of the tent and for building the ark. Among their possessions the Israelites: had 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 Zoat- hair matgrial vs. 25, 26. III. THE GIFTS OF THE RULERS, VS. 27-29. ' Like most people of the desert the Israelites had a simple, patriarchial system of government. Their rulers were the heads of families and chiefs , althought eaborate| mixed with fragrant spices such as myrrh, cinnamon, sweef aud cassia. This mixture was used for anointing the priests to their holy office. Fu , they contributed the aromatic spices which were burned on both of the common people and of the rulers, were all giveu freely. ' ----cmtmat ii Facing the Future By Pierre-Etienne Flandin, Former French Finance Minister in a Radio Speech From Paris. For a long time nations believed that they could remain isolated from cach other and become immune against the contagion of the world crisis. Experience has provad the ccntrary, and it is to be hoped that tl.ey will now agree to look straight at the results. . . . It is useless to b:lieve that a mir- ac.e, with a magic stroke of the wand. will ra-establish prosperity. We shall not be able to get cut of the crisis except by employing efficient remc- dies. To speak of international peace and co-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 Lausanne conference has made European opinion stage a great step forward. It will be continued ~ question of the restoration of the countries of Central Europe and by. an economic conference which must resolve the problem of the reduction of the external indebtedness of ter- tain nations and the more general problem of international economic re- lations. - However preoccupied American opinion may be with its own internal problems, I trust thav it will associate itself with this work which is indis- pensable for the restoration of the world's business. Germany' Security By Kurt Von Schleicher, German \ Minister of Defence, in a Radio Speech. . I did not think it possible that after «ll the bitter, sad post-war experi- ences there should still be Germans who believe our small army is suf- cient for the protection of our fron- tiers, 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 * 'eskern neighbor as hypocrisy, and I 'believe there are few Germans who do not agree. The other way for Germany to ob- tain security is by transforming--not expanding--her army so that it will guarantee a certain degree of secur- 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, rl ees ren.

It is in a way a revulsion against the sameness of the old machine production, and it is already having its effect commercially by making industry pay more atten- tion to variety and beauty of design. But no matter how good a machine product may be, there are always peo- ple who prefer something which is e. And as a visit to this ex- hibition will show, we are finding out new possibilities in needlework. Not that the old work wasn't good. Even when they were merely trying to turn out something useful, our grandmothers often got on to a good thing. This was especially the case in the villages, and some of the old shawls, smocks, and other articles still preserved .in country cottages are really beautiful pieces of work. This is being realized now, and the village women of to-day are reviving these old crafts, with the encourage- ment of the rural institutes. There are about 5,000 village Institutes which are interested in this move- ment, and county hand-work exhibi- Lions are now being arranged, to pre- pare the way for a great national dis- play of country crafts to be held in London in November. The old craft of smocking will be one of those in evidence at these ex- hibitions, Smocks themselves are creeping back Into favor--a number of women are realizing that they make very attractive overalls--and this pro- cess will be accelerated by the work of the institutes and the interest it will arouse. But smocking does. not stop. at smocks--it is being applied successfully to a number of other gar- ments as well, : . Another craft which the institutes are encouraging is carpentry, which is now being taken up a number of wo- 'men. Even in the villages women are 'breaking into what. were once purely hat culine preserves. _ Basket:making is also proving popu- lar, and skin-curing, fur craft, and glove-making all have their adherents, The gloves are made principally from sheep and lamb skins, and the skins of rabbits, moles, and hares are press- ed into service by the workerstin furs, -~ ~~ "Are you going back to the city?"

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 travel ling libraries have been well patron- | ized, residents of small places with no library facilities availing them- selves of the opportunity of getting good books at the minimum of ex. pense. Another splendid service rendered during the year was the sending of thirty cases of books-- 5,890 volumes--to the construction camps of the province, This branch is therefore, playing well its part in Ontario's educational work. The bringing of reading opportunt- ties to rural communities is engag- ing the thoughtful attention of the library world today.

Bhi pai Sea Lions Biggest Enemies of Pacific Coast Salmon Leave the sea lions alone, free to carry on their depredations uncheck- ed, and the British Columbia sal- 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 rook- eries, west of Rivers Inlet, to carry on a lion hunt for a few days every year. This year over 4,100 lions and pups were destroyed on these two rook- eries when the hunt was carried on by C.G.S. Givenchy in Jun. Bad weather interfered with operatibns, especially at the Pearl Rocks, and the lions were very wild and difficult to reach, but, nevertheless, the re- sult of the hunt, will be that the sea lion family won't work is much dam- age' to the salmon fishery in the fu- ture as they would otherwise have accomplished. The purpose of these annual hunts is not the extermination of the sea lions; the hunts have been under- taken for some years but the lions are still numerous--too numerous to suit the salmon men. The purpose sought is not to exterminate the herlis but to keep them within some- thing like reasonable limits in num- bers: and thus to protect the salmon resources, which mean 80 much to British Columbia and, indeed, to the Dominion, 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. a Where Churches Are Fullest The Targer the community, the smaller the percentage of church at- tendance, according to a survey by that noted statistician, Roger W. Bab- son. Thus: "In incorporated areas and vil lages under 2,500 population, the churches showed an average attend- ance of 71 per cent, This dropped to 66 per cent. in villages of 3,500 to 5,000 population. Towns of 65,000 to 10,000 showed an attendance av- erage of only 46 per cent. In the cities of 10,000 to 50,000, the atten- dance was 47" per cent. . Cities of more than 50,000 population could show an average attendance of only 30 per cent.

It is worth making, for on this quality of the sight your skill -- or lack of it -- at cricket, tennis, hockey, fe tball, and ball, largely depends. Your ability to drive a car with safe- ty to yourself and others also depends on it to a considerable extent. And in the third place, should you want to fly an airplane--as so many do to-day--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 fiying that its im- portance was recognizea and dealt with, ° Now for the experiment, You need only two things 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:-- Place him standing upright, facing a good strong light. Daylight is best, but artificial light will also do. 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, point forward, 2 feet away from his eyes. : Tell him Lo 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 fuches away, and during this he focusses steadily on the point. What happeas, 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 re- spect is perfect. He can focus a mov- ing object perfectly. But, alas! that is not always so. Very often, as the pencll approaches, you will notice one or other eye fail and turn a little, It does a little "wobble." In' that case he is not qulck-sighted; he cannot focus a moving object per- foctly. If the pencil point were a rapid-mov- ing cricket or tennis ball, he would al- 80 have fo focus it in this way; and if one or other eye failed, he 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 ten- nis. . You lose sight of the ball for a seo- ond. This kind of sight has not actual- ly a name: I have called it "Quick- sight," because it fits the condition is near as any we possess. But its ab- sence, that is to say defective focus- sing of moving objects, has a name, It is known as Heterophoria, To be.good at games you must pos- sess this kind of sight; without it you are a "rabbit." A batsman of the calibre of Duleep- sinjht, or a tennis champion like Mra. Moody or Betty Nuthall, must possess splendid focussing power of this kind, So must you, if you desire tt fly. 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 yourself, too. Then how does this quality of sight affect the driving of a car? In this way:--- You are in one moving--sometimes very rapidly-moving--object, and you are either overtaking other moving ob- jects or passing those travelling in the reverse direction, All this demands "Quick-sight"; ea- pecially if you are "cutting-in." You jaave to judge and focus accurately to know if there will be enough space at opened in the moment of passing. Drivers are not tested for this kind of | of sight, nor are they likely to be.

The focussing of moving objects is a muscular act, carried out by the lit- tle muscles that rotate the eyes, These are guided by nerves. You can train and practice these muscles just as you can train and practice the muscles of the legs or arms, ¢ . It is done by means of an apparatus into which each eye looks separately on certain objects and focusses them --a sort of "eye-drill," An hour or two of this exercise daily for a month will remedy most ordin- ary cases of the defoct and make a safer aviator and a better player of games. fostructor for this.
