IUNSHINB OR

The holidays have arrived at last. Everywhere we hear of school closings, graduation exercises and celebrations. tired toiiers going on to their summer homes or seek the open spaces in our parks or on our lakes and streams, and the sunshi of summer calling us all to nature's glorious out-oi- doors.

But does this really mean rest, or just other forms of feverish activity? In this bustling, hurry- ing age, do we ever relax? The value of our holidays as a prepa- ration for the real business oi life comes first from the way we use them, and next, from our whole attitude toward Time and its in- terests..

There are twin demons that pos- sess the souls of men these days- Care and Fear. They are really Siamese twins, for they cannot be separated. Often they get such a hold on us that, like the demon- pcssessed of Scripture. we cannot shake them off. Their power over us rests on the fact that we take tesponsibility for matters which we cannot control. The farmer can prepare the soil and sew the seed, but there cannot be growth without sun and rain. He does not worry over his own part in the process; he does it, and is done with it; but he does worry when the drought is prolonged or frost comes out of its season.

Christ's secret of peace is this: Let God take charge of the things that belong to God; then let men do with all -their might the things that God assigns to them. Trust God to do I-iis part when our part is done.

. . .

A driver on a. country road once saw an old man with a bag on his back trudging along wearily ahead of him. With the kind- ness of the countryside he invited the stranger to ride with him. The man got into the wagon behind the driver and sat down. After a while the driver looked back and saw that his guest still had his load on his shoulders.

"why don't you put your lead down?" he asked.

"It is enough for you to carry .lS without carrying my load also." was the reply.

"We're carrying your load any- ," laughed the host; "put it down."

God has control of all things that concern-us anyway, and is directing them towards the ends of love. Our worrying has no in- tluence on the outcome. Trust Him to do I-ils part when we do

OUTS.

This implies belief in a Person ll ho has control of the forces and events in our world. It implies also a Divine Lover to whom we personally are of priceless worth and who is committed to the perfecting of His'own design in us. This is a truth which cannot be taught; each must discover it for himself. But at least the trstlmony cf the numbers in ev- my generation who have found this in God ought to encourage

the perplexed, and careworn to test for themselves God's loving care. There are many happen- ings that we cannot understand.

ing but we do know this-God is in

command and God cores, "in all things God co-operates for good with them that love Him."

0 0 0

Now in our rest period can we relax and let God take charge of the things that belong to God?

"Easier said than clone" is the reply that leaps to many lips. Easy for those who dwell apart from the rush and roar of the world's events to trust and be still; but how about those in the thick oi it all? it is precisely to

the storm-tossed that Christ's promises of peace are directed. Just before Calvary, He said to

His companions: "I.have said this to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John l6:33).

His peace is not merely the ab- sence of care; it is a positive fac- tor in the believer's soul. So Paul wrote: "bet the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which you are called in one body." This im- plies: If you let Him; He will take charge.

No Christian ever lived a stem- ier life than Paul. For one thing, persecution dogged his steps coil- tinually. Yet in the centre oi his being, peace reigned, and he could speak oi being guarded by "the peace of Christ which passes all understanding."

.

As a pastor, the writer has known many whose souls were flooded with a. divine influence which banished every care and gave them an assurance of God's loving purpose in their distresses. Christ waits to take command of the heart that trusts Him and share His own peace with us.

This does not mean quletism- the temper that Just lets things go. Rather it is a preparation for the full exercise of one's powers. Until the swimmer trusts the water to hear him up, his strug- gles are vain: when he trusts the water, it will do its part, and he will be able to use his strength to move as he will. Our confidence that God has prepared the setting for our work and is ready to fol- low it through enables us to do with vigor the part He has assign- ed us. And only his eat is wor- thy oi "a fellow-laborer with God."

Now-try a holiday in Presence and in that spirit.

lstrange But True

By I. ll. MacArthur

In lying down, the Elephant does not drew his hind legs up under him as do other quadrup- eds, but extends them out and backward as a human does when he kneels.

Lizards and snakes shed their skins annually.

Old world lizards have a com- pressed body and a prehensible tall-that is a tail that can coil around, grasp and hold fast to an object. They have the curious ability of sticking out their tongues to a distance equal to the length of the body, and their huge eyes can be moved one at I time, each independently of the other!

Not more than half a million of the 1.000.00() insecti known to

exist have been described and classified. A "purgatory Ledger" was a

book kept by every Hudson Bay post manager in which was en- tered unauthorized debts to In- dlans which were not shown in the company's regular books and statements. The debt remained in "purgatory" until the Indian made a good catch oi furs when it was entered as "Barter". This book was used in nearly all the trading posts but never officially recogniz- ed as existing.

The Canadian government looks upon all Indians as minors, re- gardless oi the cxtent of white blood in their veins, provided they are registered on the treaty roll! as "Indians". In settled areas the redmen are more or less confined to the reserves, though this cannot be said of the Northern Indians who still are free to go where they like.

Taking them by and large, the Canadian Indians do not fare too badly. They own many thousand dollars worth of domestic animals, while their reservations total over 5,000,000 acres. valued at between 60 and 70 millions of dollars. Over 300 schools are maintained for the education of their children, the upkeep of which amounts to -well over 52,000,000. Some of their land is quite productive consider- ing the large quantities of wheat. oats, vegetables. etc., which they raise.

When this continent was discov- ered approximately 1,150,000 red- men roamed the plains between Mexico and the Polar Sea. 220,- 000 of hash lived in what is now Canada. The story of their de- clining populatlon can be summed up in a few words: Smallpox, T.B., venerial diseases, and the white man's fire-water.

Iptakes approximately 45 to 60 acres of ranch to supply the food requirements of one reindeer for a year. And as Canada's reindeer population stands close to 3.000.- 000 we can visualize the many

acres required to feed such an army. Fort Yukon was twice moved.

When Alaska was sold to the Un- ited States the famous fort was ordered to be moved out of Rus- sian territory into Alaska, so it was transferred to the Ramparts oi Porcupine. In 1890. when the boundary was surveyed, the post was found to be still 12 miles within American territory, and was again moved to its former site.

A little cemetery near Fort Yukon holds the ashes of the Hud- son's Bay Company's old em- ployees. For a long time it was neglected and weed-grown. but in ldter years the company restored this historic spot and erected a fine monumcn.t t.hei;e.

Before the steamers arrived at the various trading posts, through- out Northern Canada in the days when the Hudson's Bay Company ruled that vast country. many per- sons were actually EOIHB hungry- havlng sacrificed almost the last of their provisions in exchanke for furs to keep the Indians sat- lsfied.

At such times flour sold for one dollar a pound. a two-pound tin of syrup cost S10, a fruit cake brought thirty-five dollars. butter could be had for 535 a pound. while the native post-manager from Fort Nelson had a breakfast of bread and eggs that cost 512-

That was the year of the First World War, and with conditions everywhere lopsy-turvey it was not surprising that fur prices should decline sharply. owing to the lack of communication in the North. Marten skins for which the company had payed a 3100 were now worth only 510, and muskrai. skins had dropped in value from 54 lo 75 cents.

The badger and the coyote ira- vel together. especially when the latter knows that the digging badger will provide him with a tasty rodent.

One of the peculiar oriental customs practised by the Cog- mollock Eskimos of Coronation Gulf was that of killing unwant- ed females at birth. This practice led to a decided shortage of wo- men among these people. and young hunters desirous of mates. were often forced to follow the ancient cave-man custom of tak- ing their women from other men by force.
