tion was meant to further their
own spiritual salvation as well
as that of others.
It must be remembered, that
the real conflict was between Je­
hovah the God of the Israelites
and Baal the god of the Canaan­
ites. The former was fighting
for recognition and the establish­
ment of His authority in the
earth, and He was doing it in the
wav which would be most clearly
understood. He had to show He
would brook no opposition, and
was as equally severe with the
Israelites when they rebelled, as
with the Canaanites.
But in the light of Christian
revelation we now enjoy, we cun
feel more assured that no matter
how t e r r i b l e God’s methods
sometimes are, they are not ar­
bitrarily adopted, but guided by
wisdom, goodness and love. For
we are told that "God was in
Christ reconciling the world unto
Himself.”. To effect that recon­
ciliation God in Christ suffered
to the Htmost, more so than the
Canaanites or any one else. God
has shown us then that if from
suffering and punishment He
cannot save men who sin, He can
and (does share with them their
suffering and punishment. This
proves conclusively that He is
never vindictive, cruel or unjust.

educational campaign was agreed
on by the twelve associations
comprising the council, to be con­
ducted by specialists of the state
college extension service.
What the new system is, how
it works and some things it has
already accomplished in,Oregon,
will be told in the campaign. Al­
ready wheat prices have been
raised from 88 per cent of Kan­
