Where are those stretches OF snow
and ce Uncle Harry?" asked Joe
Away to the north of the American
continent. If you take your geography
and open it to a map of North Amer
lea you will see the Dominion of
Canada and Greenland stretching far
to the north Just above the Dominion
of Canada and 10 the east of the
Mackenzie River which flows through
Canada to the Arctic Ocean are a
number of big islands, some as big
as Rhode Island and some of the
smaller states-all of them bare and
deserted, excepting for bands of Esqui-
mos, and for polar bears and seals
and other arctic animals"
Explorers have drawn maps Of
these islands, haven't they?" asked
Joe.

fact on this trip Stefansson and his
comrades finished charting the coast
of Prince Patrick Island, one of the
most northerly of the islands. Put
to the west and north of these islands
stretch vast wastes of arctic sea, un-
charted and unknown"
where did Stefansson begin his
trip?" asked Jimmy.
From Martins Point which is to
the west of the mouth of the Mack
enzie river Mr.. Stefansson is a noted
arctic explorer and was sent on this
expedition by the Canadian govern
ment He had four ships. First, there
was the Karluk, the largest and besi
of them; this is the ship he wanted
to use for the main expedition, bu
unfortunately it became caught in
the ice before the trip started. Th'
schooner Alaska-you know what
schooner is, a sailing vessel with two
or more masts-was assigned the tasl
of exploring the Coronation Gul
region. The North Stsr, a small
schooner of shallow draft, was to b'
used to explore the shoal waters t
the west of Banks Island"
How was Stefansson going to use
the Karluk?" inquired Joe.
He was going to steer straigh
north from a point just west of the
mouth of the Mackenzie river. It wal

MOTOR CAR UPSETS

HAvRB DE GRACE. Nd, Oct. A.
Millard e. Tydings, OF Havre de
Grace, Democratic nominee for the
House Of Delegates from Hartford
county, narrowly escaped serious in
jury and probable death when the
automobile he was driving turned
turtle when he was returning to this
city from Belair. Mr.. Tydings was
at the wheel and was accompanied by
Joseph E. Spencer. defeated candidate
for clerk at the recent primaries, and
two others. When near Churchville
the steering gear broke and the car
was hurled into the ditch; the ma
chine turned upside down. Mr.. Tyd-
ings. who was pinned under the ma
chine, was badly bruised and his
right leg lacerated The others we're

Uncle Harry was a little later than
usual tonight and when he arrived
both boys were waiting impatiently on
the porch
We've been waiting for you, Uncle
Harry" Jimmy greeted him. You're
going tc tell us about the Arctic EX-
plorer Stefansson.'
Uncle Harry drew q chair up TO the
edge of the porch, for the evening
was mild where he could see the stars
which shine so brilliantly these fine
autumn nights. The boys took chairs
near him.
ITS strange to think. boys. that
these same stars we are looking at
tonight are shining on those waste
stretches of snow and ice far to the
north that Stefansson and his hardy
comrades crossed with dogs and
sledges."

worked on the Gregg farm for twelve
years. He was a widower and is
survived by three sons.

The boys were silent for a moment,
then Joe said:
Uncle Harry, what's the use Of all
this arctic exploration? What good
does it do?"
Joe" said Uncle Harry, "any work
that is done to add to the store Of
information of the human race is
worth the effort It costs. Who knows,
perhaps the discovery Of this far north
land may some day place at mans
disposal great coal fields and other
valuable mineral deposits. But that
is not all. Every trip like this of
Stefansson's yields valuable scientific
information about this great world
on which we live"
Uncle Harry rose to go. 'T1l come
over next Tuesday, boys" said he,
"and if no other important news has
happened I'll explain about passports
and I'm sure you will bo interested.
Good night"
Good night, Uncle Harry"

DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius.
(The Sunshine NAM

Behold. the Lords hand is not
shortened. that it cannot save; neith-
er His ear heavy. that it cannot hear.
lisa. lix. /.
II was Israel's sins and iniquities
that had compelled the Lord not to
hear. as we read in the following
verse. It was not that His power was
insufficient, or that He was ignorant
of their deep need and distress. God
cannot hear prayers that are not sim
cere,-not from the heart, however
regularly they may be uttered. The
question may be asked today, How
comes it to pass that the Lords peo-
pie are often in such distress? How
can we account for the fact that the
cause of Christ makes such slow
progress? Where is the Lord God Of
Israel? Has the Spirit Of God ceased
to work in the midst OF His people
The answer is to be sought, not in
any supposed change in the charac-
ter of Jehovah or in the failure of His
strength. it is to be found in the i'm
penitence Of His people; in their
lack of humiliation and contrition.
Your sins have hid His face" liter
ally. "Your sins have caused His face
to be hidden from you"
Here is the secret. The way OF
power is through confession Of sin
and its renunciation.-"E H. Hop
kins."
"As he passed over Penuel the sun
rose upon him, and he halted upon his
thigh. Gen. xxi. 81.
thank Thee, o my Father. that the
halting in my step does not imply
hat the sun is not risen. often have
