‘ Lode mining has only been in progress about 25 years, and only about one-
half of the Province has been prespected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored
nineral bearing lands are open for prospecting. |

The mining laws.of this Province are more literal and the fees lower than
any other Province in the Dominion or any Colony in the Britigh Empire.

Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees, Absolute titles
are chinined by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by
crown srants,

. N.B.—Practically all British Columbia mineral properties upon whieh work
has been done are described in some one of the Annual Reports of the Minister
ot Mines, . Those considering mining investments should refer to such reports,
They areavailable without charge on apolication to the Department of Mines, .
Victoria, B.C. Reports covering each of the six Mineral Survey Districts are |

S. S. Lessions for Nov. 21, 1926
Joshua Renews the Covenant—J oshua.
24; 14-25

Golden Text—Joshua 24:15. :

God buries Wis workmen. one after
another, But not untl: the -work of
eich s finished. As the workmen are
changed the work goes on stage after
stage to its completion. Moses came
to his hour of farewell, said bis final
word and mde way for Joshua, ‘This

lession brings us to the valedictory of |

Joshua.” We had’ finished ‘his grent
work as leader and organizer of Israel
and was about to lay. every burden
down and enter upon bis vest. and re-
ward. The toils of the long and weary
day are over and Joehua ean look upon
Israel settled in-the land and domin-

ent over their enemies. Trained in the
ways of life and sequainted with the
secrets of nition] greatness, he is n-
xious to assure the future welfare of
the nation. Tie saw hew idolutry had
innde the people of Canaan fierce and
Alsi He «wants (a
different life far’ Israel Already he
had noticed that th idolatry of Cannan
lind captnrd somé Israclites. He -de-
sires to stop that if possible and sd he
seeks to tle his people to: the ‘righteous
life that results from a true worship of
the ‘true God. Lis appeal for this ix

perhaps the greatest appeal in the Old
Tstament, In yerses 1-to 18 in this
chapter he reviews: in brict outline the
history of God’s dalings with the na--
tion from its carliest days. It is ‘a
nuirvelous story of Gad’s guidance,pra-
tection; ‘deliverance: and favor. Past
mercies from God aright to be- the’
‘source of hope and -coufiduee that he
will continue His kindness in. days to
come, Jt was'so with the “Panhiist
Who said: “Dhe Lord of us hath mhid-
fl been, mad he will bless ns still.”
Joushaa-appenled then . for‘: unbroken
trast, unswerving alesinee, undivided
‘owalty to Jehovah. ‘he -reasens he
eve for this devatiun dmanded were
sufficient and satisfy tug: ‘in thinselves

and if the people could sve them to be
such’ Joshua woul have the joy of
hearing them vow their obedience to
Gor. Con
 Jochua was not treating this matter
of pledging the people to united sa.
vice of Jehovah in a cold, disinterested
way. He tried to swing them to the
choosing of Jehovah as their God. He
used the methods of skillful appnl and
he @eclared his prsonul choice of God
iu the hope that his example might be
helpful to some. He was not coldly
He. did not con-
tent himself with pointing outa way
he did uot intend to foliow personally!
He wis not like the man who said to
his son, “If you want to go to the dev il
it is your own affair. Iwnash my
hands of you” Like Goldsmith's vil-
lage preacher, Jdshua “lured to Letter
worlds md Jead the way.” . What force
would be exerted by that declaration
of his: “As for me and my house we
will serve the Lord.” This is the Wise
word of a good lender. ‘He says, Let
us go together", He does not say, You
go wd never mind me”. He dues not
siy to the people “You do asJ say, but
never mind my.actions.” That is the

mos foolish gurt of speech for the, ac:

tlon that contradicts the speech, negn-
livs the speech.’ When an honest, ef- |.
fort is made by a lender to have his ne-
tion in Hne with his words he gets n-
head and wins. his. objectives followed

rly his followers. This was the way fleas

Jochua lead ‘and he lead’ ‘with AUECERS,
His. people rallied to his. support. ‘and
gave reality to: the profestons of. mn:
tionality. and brotherhood, . “Joshual.
touched the depths of their life by. his |:

genuine goodness and kindly interest, in| i

their continued welfare... os
