It la gratlfv lni? and Waaaartns to learn that the majority of theae men believe that pros|iertt)r la here to atay and that there la oo ground for the apprehenalou that the recent etiurtnoua volume of trade la only the creat of a wave certain to recede. Here and there a voice declarea that there tuuat be a let-up In American bnaluees: that we are producing too much, working too hard, carrying on too many tranaactlona. Tb.ee pesalmlata base their foreboding on the ground that action In trade, as In every other affair of life, must be followed by reaction; that great “booms" have heretofore been followed by doprcaslons and panics. Nothing of the sort Is to be apprehended now. according to moot of the keen observers of our trade. There la no danger of crop fallnrea despite the Inclemency of the spring In many parts of the country. There Is only one serious cloud on the bortsoa—the fear that onr tiaQk.cs will not be able to finance the coming great movements In commerce and Industry. It Is believed In most quarters, however, that when the time comes to worry oVerthat problem oar financial geniuses will find s solution that will resalre all doubts. “There Is little excuse for pessimism, especially as frequent reiteration of calamitous predictions have thus far failed to unsettle confidence. The monetary problem will gradually solve Itself. and there la no other serious feature. Natural resources of this country are insignificantly developed as compared with those of the older nations. and the future bolds far greater records In store for the United States than have been attained In any of the phenomenally prosperous years of the recent past. Seasons of adjustment and asalmllatton will come as facilities are sometime* extended beyond immediate needs or as speculative excesses absorb funds divested from legitimate trade channels, but such difficulties are not now to be surmounted," says H. CWarson, editor of f>un'a Review, From the editors of many other trade publications devoted to various lines of Industry come similar views, with very few exceptions. In summing np the conclusions of these* experts the "Thus on all sides America's business future is deemed to be built ou a solid basis, and there Is no room given' by these Experts In trade conditions to the belief that the threat of coming hard times Is visible on tb£ county's

Canada seems to ba waking np along many lines. Appreciating the value of good roads, the province of Ontario la spending $Z000.0H0 annually to make her highways better than they have ever been. Statute labor la giving place to boslnesa methods. Townships are putting their road work on a cash basis, centralising the supervision un-

The total outlay oo county roads In .^patario daring the ten yean 18M-1905 represent* a value of $2L000,(X)0. This is made up of a cash expenditure of f 10c 432,WB and 10.MOWJO days of statute labor. The average exceeds a value of *2.000.000 a you-. This Includes expenditure of townships and only ■ portion of that made by couade country highways. The expenditure on town and city streets re •presents a large additional amount From thl Is evident that the roads are by means being maintained by statute labor alone The magnitude of the*« urea la concealed from year to year by the distribution among a large i bar of municipalities.

How long I lay asleep 1 don't know, but 1 suddenly awoke from a disagreeable dream of cutthroats, ghosts and long, winding | mn. An Indescribable feeling, such as 1 never before experienced, hung upon me. It seemed as if every nerve In my body had a hundred spirit* tickling 1C and this was accompanied by so a heat that.

JosLua Renewing the Covenant With Urael 1

Comment and •uggestlve TheoflhtTbe conquest of the country took several years, not of natetorrupted warfare, but of wars Intermingled with cultivating the fields and making homes and becoming dtlaena. Although tbe Canaanltea were not Wholly exterminated (Josh. SS:lt; Jodg. t: J. «). yet tbe war waa practically end. ed. and the people gave themselves to tbe positive work of settling down as prosperous dtlseos of tbe Promised Land (Josh. I1:4MS). Joshua was drawing noar to the close of a long and useful life of 110 yaaru. He had beea watching the tendencies of tbe times, and knew well the character of hla people and the pa collar dangers to which they would be exposed. Therefor he determined to make, before he died, one more appeal to them, under the moat solemn circumstances possible. It la uncertain whether the last two chapters of Joshua are two different addressee or two reports of tbe same address. The only importance of the question is Its bearing on the structure of the book. The Polychrome Bible, the Ex posit or's Bible, and others regard them a», two trustworthy reports of the She chem address, given separately aa the editor received them, and not interwoven according to the plan usually adopted. Others regard them aa two similar addressee on the same great occasion to different audience*, the first to a mas* meeting of the people, and the second to the officers and Judges of all the tribes assembled at Sbecbem. probably on the sloping aide* of Mia. Ebal and Qerlxlm, where they had gathered IS years before, on the first entrance Into the Promised Land, and mads the meet solemn promisee to God . Va. 1-M. No circumstances could be more Impressive, aa, amid thea* hallowed associations and memories, th* white-haired, beloved leader, saintly In character and touched with the light of a near eternity, arose and made ble dying appeal, somewhat as the Apostle John, when very old. went feebly among the disciple*, saying continually; “Little children, love one another." In this place all the assembled multitudes could see and bear him. For the air la ao clear that a “single voice can be heard by many thousands." Tbe longest recorded distance at which a man's voice has been beard 1* 18 miles In the Grand Canyon of Colorado. Dr. Young records that at Gibraltar the human voice has beea board at a distance of ten mile*. Joshua first proclaims what God haa done In the past, as a motive for trusting and obeying him In the'present. Gratitude and love are awakened by hi* wonderful goodness to them Faith In trim and reverence and awe ore inspired by the manifestations of hla divine power (va. 1-1*).
