For The Time is at Hand

To John, solitary auditor, was Civ
en- the privilege of witnessing the
Celestial Drama from his place ca
the isle of Patmos. The sombre cur
tain, hiding the Great Mystery from
human view. Was raised, and this
servant of the Christ was enabled
to glimpse the unknowable.
AS the vision developed he saw the
breaking of the second seal of the
Book, and the dread Red Horse OF
Revelations went forth; and to him
who sat upon the horse was give 1
Power to take peace from the earth,
that the peoples should kill one ar
other; and there was given Unit hiIa
great sword.
And when the fourth seal had beeu
broken there emerged the pale horse.
and the rider was Death, and He
followed with him. And power W.
given them over the fourth part q
the earth to kill with sword, ar !
hunger, and with the beasts of tLa
earth.
And the number of the army OF
the horsemen were two hundred
thousand thousand . = and thus
saw the horses in the vision and
them that sat On them, having breas :
plates of fire s. and birthstone
and the heads of the horses were IS
the heads of lions; and out of the l
mouths issued fire and smoke ard
birthstone. By these was the THU
part of men killed, by the fire, and
by the smoke, and by the birthstone. .
Truly, the time is at hand" and
we are witnessing the fulfi!ment q

lated borders of the nations, follow.

Feathered Sentries.

A sailor recently stated that seagulls
are very useful for betraying the where
abouts of submarine. When the birds
discern a periscope they rise in a flock
from the waters surface, and circle
round it uttering shrill cries. This per-
Torrance attracts the attention of the
crews of approaching vessels, and oft
times results in the submarine being dis
covered.
Whilst seagulls are unconsciously aid
ing sailors, parrots are carrying out
equally useful work for soldiers. 1t has
been discovered that parrots have an
extraordinary faculty for anticipating
the approach of aircraft Before an
aeroplane has come within the range of
the human eye, the feathered alarm be-
comes violently agitated and shrieks in
cessantly. In France wild birds often
provide artillery observers with clues as
to the whereabouts of hidden batteries.
Birds rise in focks from trees in the vi
cinity of which guns are being fired, and
when there is hull in the activities of
the concealed artillery many of them re-
turn to their former perches. A trained
observer can quickly tell, from the err
ratio movements of fiocks of birds, the
approximate locality of gun batteries
hidden from his view.-Tit-Bits

The witness also criticized DIR. Rus

of the farm work before Dr. Russell took
over that department of the school.

workman, testified to seeing Knowlson,

quarts of beans, four loaves of bread,
drink two quarts OF milk, stretch, and
then repeat the meal.
Burnham also testified that DR.. Rus
sell punished boy who had run away,
by making him hold bed Stat over his
head for three hours, and then repeat
the performance the next day. He ad-
mitted, however, that the boy rested
sometimes and on these occasions he
thought that DR.. Russell who was work
ing in the field near the boy, thumped
him lightly with hoe handle to make
him raise his arms again. He also adj
mitted that the farm might have been
managed better. Some of the corn and
barley was still unhsrvested and the
cattle were once washed in cold weather.
Otherwise, however, they were well TAX
en- care of.
X. II. johnson of Brandon, who lives
next to the school, said that the chill
dren always seemed happy and were
apparently well cared for. He thought
that during the early part of this fall
they were somewhat thinly clad.
Mrs. Ida Burnham, cook, and Miss
Dorothy MacViccar matron of the in
stitution, said the children were well fed
and cared for and never abused. The
children were never corporally punished,
said Miss MacViecar, but were deprived
OF dessert or attendance at the weekly
entertainment, if they offended She al
ways issued sufficient clothing to the
inmates and there was always sufficient
money to purchase all that was neces-
sary.
The only criticism that Governor Gates
thought could be made of DR.. Russell
was that he had been over ambitious. He
was doing very creditable work and
the state might well be proud of the in
stitution.

he said:
Sec. Bakers Statement
Owe have gone on in this country for

er in the last few years on that general
subject, and while / am quite sure that
we regard the state of peace as most de-
sirable, we are, nevertheless, concerned
as to the means of accomplishing its con-
tinuanee.
Congress and the president have en-
acted legislation that creates the Council
of National Defense and its purpose is to
survey and coordinate all of the mate
rial and personnel resources of the coun-
try, so that we will not be disorganized
