Ebal, Joshua built an altar unto Je-
hovah the God of Israel, In Mount Ebal,
And he wrote there upon the stones
copy of the law of Moses, which he
wrote, in the presence of the children
of Israel" Joshua S:30-32).
The record goes on to say: And all Is
rael, and their elders and officers, and
their judges, stood on this side of the
ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well
the soJourner as the home-born; half of
them in front of Mount Gerizinl, and half
Of them in front of Mount Ebal; as Moses
the servant Of Jehovah had commanded
at the first, that they should bless the
people of Israel. And afterward he read
all the words of the law, the blessing and
the curse according to all that is written
in the book of the law. There was not
word of all that Moses commanded,
which Joshua read not before all the as
sembly of Israel, and the women, and
the little ones, and the soJourners that
were among them" (Joshua S:3S-So)'
This account has been objected to on
the ground that it would have been i'm
possible for the children of Israel, stand
ing half of them in front OF Mount
Gerizim and half of them in front or

70 this there are two replies:
1. 1t is not necessary TO suppose that
half of the children of Israel stood up
on top or even on the side of Mount Ger
izim and the other half on Mount Epa.
What is said of them is that they stood

on this side of the ark, and on that side"
half of them in front of Mount Gerizim
and half of them in front of Mount Ebal
in front of, not on these mountains.
2. AS a matter of fact, however, even If
they had stood half of them on the side
of Mount Gerizim and half of them on
the side of Mount Ebal. it would not have
been impossible for them to have made
themselves heard, each side to the other,
as the following incident will show:
EXPERIMENT TRIED.
The experiment was completely made
In April of 1880 by an Episcopal clergy
man and a Presbyterian minister, Rev.
Harry Jones, prebendary OF st. Pauls,
London, and DR.. Moses Hoge, Presbyte-
rian pastor in Richmond, Va, and Mr..
Jones thus reports the results: I'VE
spent a day there, and after ascending
to the summit of Gerezim, tested the
acoustic property of the valley between
the two hills on which were set the bless
ings and the cursings. l was on the
slope Of Mt Gerizim, while DR.. Hoge
went some distance up that of Ebal. the
space between us being between half and
three-quarters of a mile Indeed, as saw
the doctor ride down from the spot on
Gerizim where we stood, cross the val
ley, and creep up the side of Ebal till
his horse looked no bigger than an ant,
experiment we contemplated. 1 fancied
that it would be impossible even to hear
his voice over the chasm beneath us.

which the city of Nablus, or Shechem,
is situated, runs east and west through
the break in the mountains. 1t Is the
only valley of any size in Palestine run
ming east and west, with the exception of
the great Plain of Esdraelon in Galilee.
The general trend of the mountains and
valleys in Palestine Is north and south.
The valley of Shechem is 1880 feet high,
the cleft between the, two mountains not
having been complete down to the level
Of the valleys on either side. On the
north of the valley is Mount Ebal, 3,077
feet high, ot 1.2O7 feet above Nablus. On
the south is Mount Gerizim, 2,S<9 feet
high or 1,O49 feet above Nablus.
THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE.
The eastern end of the valley forms a
natural amphitheater. Here Moses COM
manded in his farewell address that the
children of Israel proclaim the law.
(Deut. II $3.50; q :11-26). 1t is therefore a

claimed upon Mount Gerizim and the
curse upon Mount Ebal (Deut. 11:29).

ton between himself and his neighbors
in watering their cattle, such as had
occurred between Abraham and Lot.
Jacob evidently felt, however, that
Shechem would not be his permanent
home, but that he wanted to get back
to Hebron, which was the land Of his
birth, and where his father and mother,
Isaac and Rebekah. his grandfather and
grandmother, Abraham and Sarah, were
buried, and where he had spent his boy
hood days. So he left Shechem and
moved on towards Hebron, going by way
of Bethel, where he had his wonderful
vision, of which mention was made in
my last article. Before doing so,
though, he had his household to bring
him all Of the strange gods" that is
the idols which they had brought out of
Padan-aram with them, and their ear
rings, and he hid them under the oak
which was by Shechem." (Gen- 35:4).
Some 400 years later, when Joshua had
led the children Of Israel, that is the
descendants of Jacob, now some 2,000,-
600 or 100000 in number, back into
the Promised Land, he gathered all the
tribes Of Israel to Shechem and deliv-
cred to them a farewell address, and
made a covenant with the people that
day, and set them a statute and an or
dinance in Shechem. And Joshua wrote
these words in the book of the law OF
God; and he took a great stone, and set
il up there under the oak that was by
the sanctuary of Jehovah" Joshua
the same oak under
which, 400 years before, Jacob had
buried the strange gods and the ear

covered from under the oak, and may
still be there now. / suggested TO the

THE FAT FROM THE FLOWER.

There is not single kind of animal
food which we might not replace with
a vegetable counterpart. In most cases
it is merely matter of choice which IS
preferable, the animal or the vegetable.
In the matter of cooking fats, however,
the vegetable has by far the advantage.
Lard is made from the fat of hogs
often impure and unclean, always indi-
gestible. Cottolene comes from the cot
ton fields of the Sunny South It
makes food that can be digestcd with
ease, even by invalids. Cottolene is rec
commended alike by physicians and noted
cooking experts as much more healthtul
and desirable than lard.

AeR1cuLruRE IN ALASKA

Would you care to run a
truck farm with strawberries
selling at $1.25 to 81 a quart,
cucumbers 50 to s. dozen
celery so cents each, tomatoes
50 cents to 81 a pound, and
other products at proportionate
prices? Or would you prefer
general farming. with a few
pigs and chickens as a side line,
with hay selling at $50 to 500
a ton, hogs 80 cents a pound,
young pigs rs cents a pound,
eggs 81 a dozen?
These prices are received in
Alaska under favorable market
conditions, but the prospective
settler should consider the diff
ficulties and expense of farm
ing as well as the high prices OF
his products.
Alaska is not generally given
much consideration from an
agricultural standpoint, and
vet. despite the rigorous CHI
mate, large variety of grains
small fruit and vegetables are
being successfully grown. Elk
periments are being made with
tree fruits, but the results thus
far have not been very en-
courag cling. The work conducted
by the government with grains
at the Rampant Experiment
station has been an unqualified
success. Varieties of nearly all
grains have been found that
grow well.
There are several successful
farmers in the vicinity of
Fairbanks, some of whom are
general farmers and others are
running market gardens. While
thew are meeting with some
failures of parts of their crops
by frosts and cold and wet
summers, yet they are learning
by experience to overcome
many of the discouragements OF
the climate.
The climate shows a wide va
ration, from 80 degrees Fahren-
heit at Rampant, on the Yukon
river, in July, with an average
for the month of 69 degrees to
90 degrees below zero at Fort

fields, in January. with an
average of 40 degrees below
