Wonderful Development of Canada in Forty Years. Four Decades Ago Little Considered, Today One of the Greatest Granaries and Dairying Centers, i The recent announcement that ;the sale of the first section of Cana‘dian Pacific land was sold forty years Bgo, and when you read that the first carload of wheat was shipped from Winnipeg forty years ago, the changes that have taken place since ‘then are matters of reminiscence, but yet of interest. What forty years ago was an unknown quantity, barren because but little production was attempted, is today one of the greatest granaries in the world. Then there was scarcely any farm live stock in the West. Dalrying was not engaged In at all. Today there are 6,098,317 farm animals on the prairies, of which 881,809 are milch cows; and dairying Is only second in importance to grain growing, in the West, Forty years ago the shipment of one carload of grain was a notable exploit. Today, Canada ranks as the second largest wheat-producing country in the world, with 329,185,300 bushels, 90 per cent of which was grown in the three prairie provinces, of which the provInce of Saskatchewan produced more than half. The Dominion is today the second largest producer of oats, with 530,710,000 bushels, of which 60 per cent was grown between Winnipeg and the Rocky mountains; and the fifth largest producer of barley with 63,311,000 bushels, of which the prairies ¥ielded 65 per cent. Forty years ago scarcely any of the rich soil had been brought under cultivation. The farm machinery of the time was crude; there were no competent advisers; government experimental farms were a blessing that came years later. Yet these hardy ploneers stuck It out, and in forty years numbers of them are enjoying their declining days in the communities they wrested from the wilderness, prosperous, contented, with their children’s families gathered about them or seeking their own fortunes still further westward or northward. They have seen civilization step In to the West and the wilderness swept out. Today are thriving cities and towns where bleaching buffalo bones marked the ox tralls of forty years ago. Today are mighty freight trains, each with its thousand-ton cargo of wheat or merchandise, roaring down the roads where the old carts creaked. Today are schools within walking distance of every farmhouse, churches within driving distance of every homé. Today are telephones and every modern convenience linking communities over vast distances by the common bond of the spoken word. Forty years ago the Rockles were practically an impenetrable barrler, the Pacific coast being reached from the east by ships salling round Cape Horn. The province of Manitoba had a population of 62,260, compared with 613,008 in 1921. Winnipeg was then a frontier town with 7,987 people, and Brandon, which was regarded as a far-flung outpost of the West, boasted of a few hundred In population. In 18901 it only had 3,778. Such places as Calgary and Edmonton were mere trading posts in the Northwest territories. Duffalo roamed the prairie in their native state. Today on these plains are to be seen herds of cattle, bands of horses and droves of sheep, from any of which can easily be selected stock that can carry off premiums, sweepstakes and championships in competition with the best in any other part of the world.—Advertisement. WILL MEAN MUCH TO WORLD French Physician Claims to Have Discovered Cure for Much-Dreaded Disease, Cancer. A positive cure of cancer, it is reported in Paris, has been effected by a surgeon of the municipal hospital at Blois, who asserts that for some months he has been treating several patients with an entirely new formula, without knife or radium, and is satisfied they not only are cured, but declares he has definitely proved that cancer has a physiological origin In certain glands. Doctor Baronami’s researches, which he has conducted for a number of years, have been the subject of numerous papers communicated to the French Academy of Science, while he continued his development of the gland theory at the Blois hospital. This theory is that cancer starts from trouble in the secretions of the glands in which occur, consecutively, an alteration of the globules and blood plasm. He claims the cure is effected by the application of a chemical organic treatment which not only reacts on the general condition of the patient, but heals the cancer without directly acting on it. The interest of many scientists has been directed recently to the work at Blois, where Doctor Baronami is demonstrating his theory.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL | Sundaychool v Lesson * (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. e LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 12 ELISHA AND THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN - LESSON TEXT—II Kings 4:8-37. GOLDEN TEXT-—Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.—John 5:25. l:’éh:l“lißENCE MATERIAL—John 11: PRIMARY TOPIC — Elisha Brings a Boy to Life. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Elisha Brought a Boy to Life. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Elisha Helping in a Home. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Qur Ministry of Comfort and Help. 1. The Shunammite’s Hospitality to Elisha (vv. 8-11). 1. Its occasion (v. 8). A wealthy woman of Shunem, observing that Elisha passed continually by her house in his journeys, was moved with compassion toward him. She determined according to her ability to supply his needs, 2. Its npature (vv. 8-11). “She constrained him to eat bread” (vv. 8, 9). As a result of her earnest entreaty, as often as he passed by her house he turned in to eat bread. She received a prophet in the name of a prophet. (2) She fitted up a room for him (vv. 10, 11). She equipped this room with the necessary furniture to make it comfortable for the prophet—a bed, chair, table and candle. Whenever he saw fit to occupy this room it was at his disposal, 11. Elisha Endeavors to Repay Her Kindness (vv. 12-17). 1. He offers to ask a favor from the king or head of the army (v. 13). This offer implies that Xlisha had influence at the royal court. The woman's reply shows her truly to be a great woman. She did not desire to change the calm and quiet ¢f her home for a place even in the royal court. Her answer also shows that her motive In extending generosity to the prophet was entirely unselfish, purely because he was God's prophet, 2. Elisha announces the giving of a son to her (vv. 16, 17). Through inquiry of Gehazi it was discovered that this woman was childless. So the prophet made known to her that in about a year from that time she should experience the joy of a mother. illl, The Coming of Sorrow to the Shunammite’s Home (vv, 15-21). The child which brought joy to her home was suddenly taken away. How many homes are like this! Scarcely do we begin to enjoy life until death enters and snatches away some loved one. The cause of his death was probably sunstroke, for the heat ot the sun at harvest time In this country is very intense. When the boy complained of his head, the father sent bim home to his mother. By noon the child died and the mother laid him upon the bed of the man of God. Faith prompted her to do this. She did not make preparation for burial, but for restoration to life (Heb. 11:33). ; IV. The Mother Goes to Elisha (vv. 22-28). When one is in trouble or sorrow the best place to go is to the man ot God who 1s able to give counsel and comfort. Happy is the ane who in the days of prosperity and sunshine has s 0 related himself to God and His prophets that he can have help and sympathy in time of trouble, 1. She took hold of Elisha's feet (v. 27). This was the eastern way of enforcing a petition. She passed by Gehazi. She would not be content with the servant when the master could be reached. 2. She chided the prophet (v. 28). “Did I desire a son?’” This implies that it would have been better not to have had a child than to have lost him so soon. V. The Child Restored (vv. 29-37). 1. Gehazi's fruitless errand (vv. 2931). He hurried away and placed the prophet’s staff upon the child’s face, but it did not revive. Perhaps the fault lay in Gehazi—his lack of faith. The woman seemed to perceive his lack; she would not trust him. She would not go until Elisha was willing to go along. This fruitless errand of Gehazi shows the worthlessness of the forms of religion when used by those who have no faith in them. 2. Elisha's eflicient service (vv. 3237). He went to the house where the dead child was. (1) He prayed (v. 33). He knew that no one but God could help, so he closed the door, shutting all others out. Our service to men should be preceded by prayer. (2) He stretched himself upon the child (v. 34). He brought his warm body into touch with the cold bod: of the child. God blesses and save through the warm touch c¢f those wh are in touch with Him. After we pray we sliould get into actual touch with those dead in trespasses and sin. God’s method of saving the world is through the ministry of saved men and women, Daniel Prophesies the Messiah. And whilst 1 was speaking, the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision in the beginning touched me. And he informed me, and talked to me. Know, therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and three score and two weeks.—Daniel 9:20-25, Sunday Observance. Ceasing from labor, as labor, is' not the point of Sunday observance; it is ceasing from the labor of the world, to labor for God, to do His work, which is the highest labor, and the hardest labor: giving God a title of the week, the first fruits of our time, as a mark of the respect and allegiance which we owe to Him.—W. iy. E. Newbolt.

TWO RARE ORCHID SPECIMENS Central America Can Boast of Two of the Most Perfect of Beautiful Flowers. A quaint little orange orchid, odorless, very common in Central America, Is the Spidendrum Radicans, locally called the “Dutch Shoe” because of its fancied resemblance to a tiny sabot The *“Monkey” orchid, more curious than beautiful, has greenish, small flowers growing in thick clusters, suspended from whorls of glossy leaves. Great quantities of it grow on the dead stumps of the overflowed land forming lagoons in Gatun lake. A peculiarity of the Monkey orchid is that when domesticated its flowers do not develop fragrance until they are three days old. Another odd species mimies a white violet, not only in size and shape, but In the exquisite violetlike fragrance which the blossom gives out in the late afternoon only. It has no fragrance at any other time and the tiny flowers last several days. Don’'t imagine that you have great will power because you have never had occasion to test it.

Smythkinses got on In the world a little, Tim, their handy man, was promoted to a decayed dress suit and the title and emoluments of butler. In this capacity he had been taken severly to task by Mrs. D. Smythkins, Sr., for allowing somea visitors who inquired for her son's wife to go away without having announced the fact that she was at home. “If this happens again, Tim, you must say, ‘My mistress is out, but tha dowager, Mrs. Smythkins, is within. Please step aside,’” she wound up. And Tim promised to obey. Long words, however, were not hig strong point, and when a few days later more visitors called, the word “dowager” refused to remain in his mind. “My mistress Is “out, sir,” he said “but the—er—ah—the owld badger is within.
