millions who eat margar ine realize that tho host qualities come from the creanvywhite oil of tho sperm whale the whole produc tion of the south seas was sold last year at 10 per ton and it realized 3000000 this year the whaling licet has been increased by a hundred ships during the first week of the present season ono company alone produced oil to tho value of 210000 last year the same company

capstans and whales weigh ing anything from 50 to over 100 tons aro hauled bodily up the slipway to the flensing deck then huge saws rip off blankets of blubber which is sliced up again in convenient chunks before it passes to batteries of boilers which are cap able of producing oil at 120 tons an tour aftor the blubber is removed the carcass ot uie whale is hauled along tiie foredeck and sown up by revolving bonecutters the small pieces of flesh and bone passing into other boilers so that all oil is extract ed formerly the residue was thrown overboard but this year it has been generally agreed that it shall be con verted into bonemeal which makes excellent food for cattle poultry etc in the actual hunting of the whale wonderful changes have also taken place fast cruisers armed with harpoonguns and fitted with wireless are now used and work in combina tion with scouting seaplanes carrying bombs and quickfiring guns killing by electricity the modern method of killing by electricity has been brought into al most general use as soon as tho harpoon strikes the whale the current la switched oil and the great mammal is electrocuted by the high voltage which passes through the copper coro ot the harpoon line the use of seaplanes in whale hunt ing is not yet general weather diffi culty in tho south seas has proved a great setback on tho other hand they have their advantages in that whales can be seen from the air long before the lookout in the crows nest can stop them moreover planes are useful in keeping track ot flagged fish tlie system employed now is to in flate the whales killed by pumping air into them they then rise from tho aoa like balloons when airfilled tho hole is plugged up and a flag inserted ao that they may be recovered after the catcher

ramming the whaler thetis and forcing the crew to abandon her ily a strange coincidence two ships of the same name have been in colli sion with whales on her maiden voy age from liverpool in july 1s75 a whale rushed at the cunard liner scythia with full force the ship ap- peared to have hit a submerged rock the impact was so terrific that she had to return to port and go iuto dry- dock in 1921 a later scythia had a weird experience after leaving boston the ship appeared to have struck a huge log of timber what had happened was that in its mad rush a whale had misjudged the speod ot the ship and the great monster became impaled on the bow otily by going full speed astern could it be freed a few months later the cunarder samaria was attacked passengers were startled to see a flftyfoot wliala alongside it dived under the vessel before turning to ram then it struck the stern and the sea became red with blood answers gabble gertie now a days a girl is not compli mented on her splendid

the labour ers are few pray ye therefore the lord of the harvest that he would j send forth labourers into his hav- vest luke 10 2 i analysis j i sending out missionaries 10 1 2 ii instructions to missionaries 10 311 i iii a prayer of thanksgiving 10 i 21 22 i introduction- we must not sup pose that jesus is here laying down precise rules which shall cover the conduct of christian missionaries throughout the ages he is contem plating a particular missionary tour which for certain obscure reasons has to be undertaken in a very great hurry for there is to be no time for pastoral work no time to persuada people gradually if the message is not quickly accepted the disciple must hurry on to the next place vs 10 11 why we ask the great haste some have supposed oat jesus at this time expected the speedy coming of the end of the world with the dawn of the future kingdom f god this doe3 not seem a very satisfactory explanation it is more probable that temporary religious and political conditions made the haste needful the ministry in galilee as we may reasonably sup pose was near an end we are given grounds for inferring that the phar isees and the herodiars that is the religious leaders and the courtparty in galilee or in modern terms the clergy and the police had appealed to herod who ruled galilee and that jesus was threatened with the fate of john the baptist if he remained in that territory it seems that before his great assault on jerusalem and the temple jesus retired across the lake into philips country it seem3 likely therefore that this mission was a hasty rush through the towns and villages of galilee to prepare the minds and hearts of the people for what was to follow we carnot however be certain of this i sending out missionaries 10 1 2 v 2 jesus indeed recognized the worlds sin but he was far from being a pessimist he seems to feel sure that there must- be a great response to the good news if ory there are messengers to bring it thi3 is the only occasion when jesus is said to have bidden his disciples pray for a particular object it i3 significant that this object should be an increase in the number of missionaries ii instructions to missionaries 10 311 v 3 while jesus wa3 no pessimist he was njver an easy optimist it goes hard with sheep in tho midst of wolves according to the hearer the christian message awakens great joy or great hatred some love the light and turn eagerly t it others hate the light and love darkness v 4 the missionaries are to travel without baggage and encumbrances they will find hospitality by the way that is all they need they are not to linger gossiping on the road nor even to spend time on individual con versions vs 5 g we speak a mere words and empty words we think it super stitious to be afraid of curses and therefore we think of a blessing or benediction as simply a convenient formula for closing a service- but to the ancients words seemed powerful things like winged creatures going forth from the speaker with some power to accomplish their purpose so here enter a house with a blessing on your lips if the master of the house is a truly religious man a son of peace your words will bring him a real blessing if not you will at least have tried to bless him v 7 the support of home and for eign missions is an obligation upon all christians v 8 the principle of eating what is set before you became very import ant in later year and in the gentile world we learn from pauls letters how distressed were tome christians if they were uncertain whether the meat set before them had been proper ly killed or whether the beast had not first been sacrificed in a heathen temple v 21 the success of tho mission showed that satans throne was tot tering v 18 iii a prayer op thanksgiving 10 21 22 v 22 this verse may bo taken in either of two ways by the son we may understand jesus himself in this case he is claimin a unique knowl edge of god and a unique mediator- ship or the son may be taken in its old testament sense of israel meaning here thv true spiritual israel it is difficult to decide between these two interpretations for both cover a spiritual truth phone expense 100000
