O U R H O P E Today blest hope, through world distressed, Bright Israel visions fall, For Christ and His disciples pressed The Gospel's "Kingdom Call." The "Abramsons" new miracles In Palestine have shared; With Edom's tryant shackles No longer are men scared. The curse is gone, the land re­ deemed, Prophetic word fulfilling, And light on outcast Israel streamed Our Britain is revealing. What sacred joy in Hebron there As governor to sit With memory surging every­ where Mid scenes of Holy Writ. And Gaza too, and Olivet Stir thoughts that thrill the mind, As living in each Governate Our kin so blest we find. And now at length, to allocate The ancient tribal bounds To Israel's' sons who there mi­ grate, The latest edict sounds. O wondrous vision! given at last All in the Almighty's plan, That Israel hidden, but not pass­ ed. Stands out "God's Covenant man." His Kingdom and Dominion wide He holds by Covenant right, And purged and cleansed will be the Bride To rule with Christ in Light. Then will the banner be unfurled "The Lord Our Righteousness" And all the kingdoms of the world Be one in Blessedness. --A. H. NOTE -- While "Abramsons" will in verses stand for literal "sons of Abraham," it is inter­ esting to note that a Mr. Abram­ son since the armistice has been successively land commissioner (Palestine), Governor of Hebron, Governor of Transjordania, and is now President of Land Com­ mission.

Tailoring Co. 80 Hastings Street West Odours I remember hearing a minister read a chapter from the Bible, in which "a good old Anglo-Saxon word" occurred. He had to deal with a genteel nudience; and though not mealy-mouthed, he was worldly-wise. He therefore substituted "odour" for the orig­ inal word. There are those who make a brag of always using Anglo-Saxon words; and there are those who sanetimoniousl) quote the motto of the Garter, "Evil be to him who evil thinks." But the motto of the Garter is beside the point in nine cases out of ten; while every careful user of language is aware that objec­ tionable meanings become associ­ ated with some words in certain districts, though the words may retain their innocence in other places. There is a word, for ex­ ample, which is almost regarded as a term of endearment in York­ shire, but which is actionable in Cork. Many such cases meet us when we cross the Atlantic. However, "revenons a nos od­ ours," as the French might say. Most people divide odours into good and bad; but "they pass into each other by insensible gradations," to quote a pet phrase of my old professor of geology. I think it is Goldsmith who mentions certain savages to whom the smell of asafoetida is rather agreeable, though he calls it the most nauseous in nat­ ure. I asked a druggist a few days ago to let me have a whiff of it, and he good-naturedly opened a full tin. I found it not very bad. The ox-gall I used to employ when spreading a wash of water-color was quite as bad On the other hand, there is a kind of scent which is much in vogue just now, but which makes me gasp for breath. I like the smell of Stockholm tar, but I dis­ like that of gasoline and coal oil. I love the smell of black twist tobacco in the roll, but I want to be somewhere else when it is being burned. There is no ac­ counting for tastes, however, even when the tastes are smells. I remember a young lady whose personal habits were unexcep­ tionable, but who had a remark­ able fondness for the smell of coal oil, which led her to keep a glass of it on a shelf in the store. The German poet Schiller had an equally inexplicable weakness for the smell of rotten apples, of which he kept a drawerful in the desk at which he wrote. There are advantages connect­ ed with the absence of a sense of smell. A man once explained to me that the best point about us­ ing silk handkerchiefs was that they did not need to be washed more than once a month. And he meant it too! The student of practical chem­ istry is early introduced to strong odours. His exercises in qualitive analysis call for the use of hydrogen sulphide, that gas to which election eggs owe their effectiveness. It is a little try­ ing at first; but one grows used to it later on. The gas has its good points, however. I remem­ ber a student who started to make it in a shed at the back of the house. By great good for­ tune his mother's landlord hap­ pened to pass along the road at the back, and got a noseful of the gas. He was a pious old beggar, but a3 dilatory about re­ pairs as the worst landlords arc said to be. The next day he called on the lady with a face of horror and a voice of woe, told her of his experience, and ar­ ranged to send a plumber forth­ with. Her graceless son told the story; but the Scotsman in him led him to keep it back till his mother gave up the house a few years later. The fact is that hydrogen sul- (Continued on Page 7)
