them a king according to their own ideal, that bitter experience might teach them a lesson they would not otherwise learn: and then a king "after his own herat," a true repre- sentative of the kingdom of God. In his hands such a monarchy as we may conceive might have been asked for with oilt sin, flllfllled im- portant purposes by consolidating the scattered tribes into a body strong enough to maintain its inde- pendence. thus saving the nation from destruction. and preserving it to fulfill its great destiny of bless- ing to the world-

Tho Hierarchy. .'l‘he Hierarchy at length took the place of the Monarchy alid resumed the ideal of Theocracy. When the kingdom fell, and the discipline of the Cap- tivity had done its work, “tho unity of a church tlcceeded to the unity of a nation." The voice of prop- hecy ceased. In the absence of new revelations, the people pondered on the plist, iill ilt length “the time was fulfilled and the kingdom oi God came." ,

Mountain Personalities. .'l‘he his- tory we have reviewed in the last quarter may be compared to a moun- tain range in whose high elevation there are conimandiug peaks. This range began with Abraham, the Friend‘ of God, the Father of the faithful; Joseph the Herbert I-Io- over of the Egyptian famine: Moses the Liberator. Legislator, and Prop het; Joshua, the Citizen-Soldier and Man of Courage: Samuel. the last of the Judges and the Founder of the School of the Prophets. Salli, the first King of Israel, the many- sided David, shepherd, musician,'st hlete, soldier, ruler, diplomat, mys- tic and murderer: and Solomoagthe most ,brillisnt failure in the whole history. Each of these mountain men brought to us lessons both of warning and inspiration. No one of them was wholly good or wholly land. lt may be said that in each case the good was greater than the evil and that each did his part in the ongoing revelation and ever- lirowing kingdom of God.

Lois ol people say “l would rath- er have the iund ot smallpox they have had lately than get vaccinated and maybe have n sore arm lor. a month or lose it altogether, like a man I heard oi."

'l‘ba/t is all very well; but there are two points that people lorget or don't know.

'Ine ﬂint point is that the very mild smallpox n6 have had for the last twenty years or so is distppear- ing and a much more severe lornl is gradually tailing its place. For a long t-lllle we nad very lew die 0i smallpox. because of the mUdDixlB of the cases, but. now deaths are being reported here and there, the storm is gathering and we are due to have s SQVGTDuOUl-IDIQUKIIQIIIB day, not so lar away——)ilst when and‘ just where we cannot say, ol -l..'0lLl‘S_&. ill 1920-21, the cases lu- cleansed 138% and they were six tillles as latul. So the ﬁrst reason people don't get vaccinated-because smallpox is s0 mild»is no longer a good rea- son. Smallpox la getting worse slowly lbut steadily and no health officer will be surprised to see a return of‘ the Iklnd we had twenty or thirty years ago, where one out oi e\ery tour canes died, and the others were disﬁgured or maimed or ‘blinded ior life. .In Glasgow in 1920-21‘, one third of all ‘the unvac- cliiwted cases ill children died. Now the other reason people don't get vaccinated ill because they are afraid they are going to have very sore arms, blood poisoning perhaps, or even lose their arms, They forget or don't know that ths new methodof vaccination, in- tlotluced ilito the Canadian army by a. Canadian right here in West- era Ontario during the war, has been used on many thousands of soldiers, many thousands of men, women and children, even young baubles w-iihout the slightest injury or trouble.

First oi’ all it doesn't hurt-very often even children don't know when the physician is doing it- tlley keep their a-rnls held out and their set teeth tight, expecting a stub or cut or something and when the physician says "all right, don't hold your arm up any more——lt is all done," they don't believe it_.

tin the second place. no blood is drawn, so there is on chance oi anything going wrong with it after- wards.

in the thi-rd place. there is no dressing, no bandage, no celluloid cap, nothing alt all to put on the arm afterwards; you just pull down your sleeve and th is all.
