THE NEW CGVE.NAXT . .le.-. 31: BehoM. the days come. eaiih Jehovah, :hat I will make a pew covenant ^'ith the house of Is- rasl, and with ;Ue house of JiidaU: '3:!. nut accordttig to the covenant that 1 made ^ ir.h their fathers in -the day that I vxik them by the haiiil to bring -.Uem out of the land ' "'of Egypt; 33. Bu!; this is the coven- • aut tliey braksj. although I was a • husband unto taem, saith Jehovah. . 33. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house ot Israel 'atfer those days, saitii Jehovah: 1 • will put my !a^ in their inw^ard • pari 5, and in their heart will I also • write it; and ! ?rill be their Ck)d. • and they shali be my people. 34. • And they shall t^e-ach no more ev- « ery man his neighbor, and every , mau his brother, saying. Know Je- hovah; for they shall all know me. from the leas: of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for • I will forgive their iniquity, and ' their sin will I :emember no more. • The new covenaut here referred • to. and quoted ii; a very siguificaut • passage by the author of the Epistle • to the Hebrews, is, first of all, cer I talnly a covenant not with the church, but wiiii the house of Is- ' rael and the house ot Judali. as Is 'explicitly stutej. The old coveuau! H tlie law-covenaui, which the Lord did not make with Geutiles. bui with Israel exclusively. The new <JF)venant is of. grace. The ground ot (his new co-.enaut is the sacri- Jicial death of the Lord Jesus t'hrist, his blood, as we learu from "his own words when he instituted *tUt> supper. He died for that nation. •and therefore all Israel will yet re- •ceivo the proaiis&'.l blessing of this new covenant. This prophecy is therefore still unfilled, for Israel doe.' not enjoy this new covenant now. " Another interpreialiou: The new covenant is a covenant, in its final â-  experience, in which the human . soul shall be rendered independent ot the externa! :aw and ot Uie hu- " man interpreter; the law of God . within, written on the heftrt. receiv- , ert by direct revelation of the will of (;od within the spirit.

If these ord- inances depart from before mo. saiih .lohovah. then the see<l ot Israel also shall cease tiom being a iKition before lue tor evei'. 3". Thus saith Jehovah: It lleaven up ' above can bi> measured, and the foiuidations of the earth searched «'.U beneath, then will I also cast oit all the seed of Israel for all that â-  t i.i^y have done, saith Jehovah.

Poor Students Getting Fewer Money and Not Brains Are Becoming Basis for "U" Edu- cation in Canada, Statistics Record Tlis '"prospect of equality in edu- cational opportunity for persons of equal ability â€" the generally-ac- cepted ideal of democracy â€" be- come more and more remote and university administrators concern- ed with the intellectual and cultur- al advancement of the country, now grow increasingly apprehensive." the Dominion Bureau of Statistics says in its auntial review ot reven- ues of Canadian colleges and uni- versities. GRANTS ARE REDU^'ED Students have been called upon to provide an increased proportion ot the money required to operate universities while other sources of revenue â€" provincial grants, inter; est and endowments â€" have declin- ed relatively, at approximately equal rates, the review, which co- vers the years from 19il to 193y, says. 'This is a ti'euj which, unaccom- panied by any substautiul increase in funds available for student aid. tends to make financial means, ra- ther than intellectual ability, the basic qualification for a university education iu Canada. HIGHJ'IR FEES Student fees as contributing to total revenue of universities and colleges increased from 20.1 per cent, iu 1»21 to 32.7 in 1939. Gov- ernment grants decreased from 49.

Forgiveness Has Certain Limits Last week in Omaha, N'eb., Mrs. Lee Felchauser told a Judge she couldn't go on for- giving her husband any longer. She had forgiven him when he ijroke her arm in lU'iS. When he broke her nose in 1937 their children had kept them together. She had forgiven him the time he cracked her hip- bone and the time he cut her eye open. But last January hj cracked her backbone over a iavenpjrt and she wasn't go- ing t,i forgive him again. Tiie Judge said she needn';. mer complaint!, cholera, dysten- tery. leprosy, various dangerous eye diseases (types of ophthalmia, trachoma) and tuberculosis, besides carrying the eggs of ceriaia tape worms, says Dr. Arthur Gibson, Do- minion Entomologist. Dominion De- partment ot Agriculture. , One of the chief dangers from flies lies in their varied food ha- bits. Not only do they feed on -all kinds of tilth, but will alight on the most ot the food laid out on the table for a meal, contaminating everything they touch. EFFECTIVE FLY SPR-\tS To control this dangerous pest. fly traps, door and window screens. fly swatters, sticky papers, poison- ed baits and fly sprays are used. An effective and safe bait is made by adding a teaspoonful of forma- lin to a pint ot water or dilute milk iu a saucer. It should be placed out of re.ich ot children. Fly sprays made of ^ pound ot flowers ot pyre thrum to a gallon of kerosene are effective. "^ The best control ot houseflies is by eliminating their breeding plac- es. The most im^portant ot these are manure piles and garbage dumps. Manure storage should be so constructed as to discourage breeding .and the pile treated with borax solution. Garbage should be stored in fly-proof containers until disposed of. Commuuity action is essentia! if the fly population ia any district is to be sharply reduc- ed. Farm Notes . . . >» â€" Irriproving Pastures As War-Time Policy Better pastures for cheaper production and higher profits is a logical wartime agricultural prog:ramnie for the Canadia'i farmer. Grass is the cheapest and most nutritious livestock feed pro- duced on the farm. Thus, this year, with the increased need of conserving grain for feeding, grass assumes a place of more than usual importance. -â- V desirable type of pasture is one that en'ables the dairy or beef herds to satisfy their require- ments sufficiently rapidly to per- mit of their spending many hours beneath tlie shade trees, chewing the cud in absolute contcntinem, says G. K. Snyder, soil chemist, TVl'KS OK rASTlRK In districts where the soil is high in lime and favourable fa- the growth of alfalfa and red clover, high yielding, short rota- tion pastures arc most favoured. Premliminary prcjiaration for suc- cess with this type calls for the application of a liberal amount of fertilizer. aci.'ordinK to the needs indicated hy a soil test. Dr. 0. McConkey of the On- tario .Agricultural College, sug- gests the use of a light nurse crop, usually oats or barley and a seed mixture composed of and sown at the rate of: alfalfa (> lb?.: red clover 4 lbs.; alsike 1 lb.; timothy 5 lbs.: brome o lbs., and Kentucky Blue 3 lbs. per acre. A more permanent type of pa'^- ture mixture consisting of Ken- tucky Blue, Canadian Blue, tiin olhy and wild white clover is fav- oured for beef cabiie pastures and is the most practical and econ- umical type for areas of strongly acid soils amr high rainfall. Wild white clover is an exccodincly nu- tritious legume and thrives whc i moisture is plentiful. InfanU Are Quicker Than Adult Monkeys .4 tentative conclusion that in- fants are quicker to grasp an idea than are adult ntonkejrs, was re- ported tu the Middle Western Psy- chological .4asociatioi.. Dr. Ben Weinstein, of tj:e Lni- versity of Wisc"onain, said that h* had subjected two children, .37 and 34 months old, and two four- yea .--old monkeys to similar test* and chat the children had pr-ovel more apt.
