FIRST REQUISITE OF VIRTUE.
By Rev. DR.. Falk Vidave

Know thou the God of thy fathers
and serve Him with an entire heart
and with a willing souI.-Chronicles
xii, 9.
From a scrtptural point of view
knowledge of God is the greatest and
sublimest virtue that man should strive
to possess.
Prophet Isaiah looked forward to
that glorious time When the earth will
be full Of the knowledge of the Lord as
the waters cover the sea-"
Prophet Hosea, expostulating with
his people, said to them: Hear the
word of the Lord for the
Lord has controversy with the inhabft-
ants of the land, because there is no
truth nor kindness nor knowledge of
God in the lands"
All the ancient prophets from Moses
to Malachi made strenuous efforts to
impress their people with the necessity
Of acquiring knowledge of God because
such a knowledge is the fountain from
which flows the highest attachments
which make up the sum and substance
of mans spiritual life.
A wise son who knows his fathers
integrity, his good nature and charac-
ter, his self-sacrifcing devotion to his
family, will never tire in the fulfllment
of his filial duties: will prove his affec
ton to his father by respecting, rever
ing and obeying him and by acting up
to his wishes and desires. So will he
who knows his heavenly Father con-
template His wonderful works and the
ways Of His merciful providence, the
care and watchfulness which He has

qualities which constitute the essence
OF His being, never cease TO venerate
and adore Him. to love truth, justice
and kindness and to live up to the
teachings which He has revealed to us
through His great and distinguished
men.
The knowledge of God as father of
mankind necessarily must lead to hui
mainly and quality. Hence, when
Moses addressed King Pharaoh in the
name of the Lord to set the children
OF Israel free from bondage, he AFRO
gantly replied: who is the Lord that

1t is truism which cannot be gain
said that those individuals as we'll as
nations who know not the Almighty.
yes, who form a wrong and erroneous
conception of Him, are never exempt
from prejudice, barbarism and tyranny
King David, therefore, very oppor-
timely at the time when his son Solo
mon was about to succeed him as ruler
of Israel, brought home to his heart a
wholesome lesson in the words: Know
thou the God of thy father and serve
Him."
The God Of thy father is the Creator
of all human beings, hence thou must
not lift up thyself in pride and vanity
above thy fellow men. The God of thy
father loves all his children, so must
thou treat all thy subjects alike The
God of thy father is the source of truth
justice and mercy, so must thou en-
deavor to be just, truthful and gracious
and by so doing thou will serve and
worship Him faithfully and Loyalty.

RARE ORCHID AGAIN FOUND.
Plant Long Sought Redisccvered on
Recent Thfbet Expedition.


Recent ThIbet Expedition.
An orchid which for fifty years has
baffled all the attempts of collectors to
find It's native haunts has been redis-
covered. This orchid Is the cypripe-
dunn Fairieanum, which Is one of q
random collection made in Assam In
1857, sent to London in the same year
and bought by Mr.. Falrie of Liver
pool, In whose possession it bloom
ed and was duly hailed and de
scribed In orchid literature as one
of the most beautiful orchids hitherto
known. Several other plants of the
same orchid came with It, and the spe-
cies was at once named Falrieanum.
after Mr.. Fairie.
From the day of its discovery, In
spite of scores of expeditions and peril
Gus Journeys by collectors, not single
plant was found until some member of
the Thibet expedition, few months
ago, discovered a whole bunch of the
plants. He sent them along to Calcutta.
whence two were dispatched to Kew,
and others are gradually coming
through to England
Probably another fifty years will
elapse ere more Fairieanums are
found" said a British specialist. "for
no private collecting expedition is likely
to venture into such a country. Nv
own belief Is that unless another mill
tary expedition traverses the same
ground there will never again be a
chance of getting plants"
The plant Towering at Kew has five
growths and two flowers The second
plant Is developing five blooms. The
flower has slender, hairy scape about
ten inches in height, a prominent and
charming dorsal sepal, one and three
quarters inches IN length by one and
one-auarter inches IN breadth, with O
white ground beautifully veined with
violet purple and with brownish green
veins near the center and whitish hairs
round the margins. The petals droop
and have an upward curve at the tips
they are one and one-half inches in
length, with q white ground streaked
with purple and yellow. The upper
margin of the petals is much undulated
and covered with prominent purple
hairs. The pouch is rather small,
greenish-brown in color, veined with
brownish red and covered with short
hairs.

mer president Of one of our UNIVERSE
ties, now a resident of China, whose
grasp on sociological problems Is thor
ough and whose insight is keen, says
that from the standpoint of absorbing
interest he would rather live the next
twenty-five years in China than to have
lived in any other land during any fifty
years Of its history. Now that the eyes
of the world are leaving the seas of
Japan and the battlefelds of Manchuria
they will in all probability find a new
fxation point not far away, which will
rivet this attention for years to come.

with China will, to a great extent, trace
its origin to similar causes
