Hints on Growing
Of House Plants
Hot, Cry; Atmosphere of
Home Must, be Combatted .If
You Are to Achieve Success.
The chief ,difficulty encounter-
ed in growing plants in the home
is the hot, dry atmosphere. This,
can be controlled to some extent
• by keeping dishes of water en
the •radiators and eimaying the'
plant with a mist -like spray • of
water. The ..spraying, helps to de-
etroy insects, and, by keeping the
foliage oi° the plants free (rent, '
dust, encourages good, growth.
Light )s• another necessity: A'
window that has sunlight for seer-
eral hours is required, for ,most
flowering .plants, • hut' ferns ' and
..other plants, grown` for '• their
leaves will • do well without. sun.
• Fresh air' isessential but draughts
and sudden changes of temperer
lire 'Must • be avoided, Further . ;.
information may be obtained from
the Horticultural •Division- ori..
front Notes on •the Culture of
House Plants issued- by Publicity'
and Extension Division, Domin-
ion •,Department • of Agriculture,
Ottawa..;
SIZE OF POTS USED .
If new, clay pots are used' for
growing `;plants :in the home, they
should • be soaked in•' water' for a
time -and• eedriede ;:•before• -•--using
'�roryo1d pots, should . be thoroughly
scrubbed , inside and ' out.. Before
filling the pots with soil,. ' a : few
broken crocks should be placed
over . the drainage •'$.ole. Pots
should net ' be . larger than is
iiecessare to hold the routs cult a
betterto start a plant in a 'small.
pot : and then repot it intoa;•
lai`ger' one .when the roots. have
filled' the small one.

In this lesson we are forcefully
`reminded of the significance' of...
Our' Lord's last days on earth, of .
the definite work which He .gave•

power which He promised to His
Church for the doing of this

• Lord and His Ascension Fare re-
corded only' by lark ' and by
Luke, thougit Luke's account .is
_.batt. fat:thi-fttllsr•o-€ the-4wee' bot
in the Gospel of Luke and his
• great historical work, known now
as the Acts, of the Apostles. ' •
Acts. 1:1'' `,'The former treatise.
1 made, 0 Theophilus, ' concerning
all that ;Jesus began 'both to do
Mid i to .teach: :2. Until the .day in
'which he. was received, up, after ..
that he had •given'. comnidndment
through the Holy, Spirit unto the
apostles whom he' had chosen: 3:
To whom he also 'showed himself
alive ,after his passion . by many
proofs, , appearing unto thein by
the 'space of forty days, and
• speaking 'the things concerning
the :kingdom of• God.". In the
opening paragraph Luke gives, as
it were, the' three keynotes of the,
treatise to follow: the subject of
the 'book of Acts is the; same as
that; of the Gospel (-former treat-.
ise ),. — the: wor: des aii4 deeds: of
Jesus; the Acts isthe history of
'the • fulfilment of the' commission •
of Christ to the disciples' to be
Witnesses to Him; and again,
this , commandment was given
through the Holy Ghost.

of the Father, ' which, said hee ye
heard from me: 5. For John ie
deed baptized with water; hitt ye
-shall ,be- baptized - in—the, Holy
Spirit ;not • many ' day's` hence.",
These" words refer to the descent'
of the Holy Spirit upon the . as=
sembled •believers on the Day of
,Pentecost, ten days after- our
Lord's Ascension, and we can
truthfully say' that. the Holy
Spirit • has continued to 'abide
upon the Church from that day
until this. ' In" great quietness,
we should all set our souls still,
silent .unto God, and give the
Holy Spirit time to quicken and
deepen. in us the• assurance, that

saying, Lord;. dost .thou at this'
time restore the kingdom of Is -
/net? .7. And he said unto them
It is' not for you to know times
or season, which the Father hath
set ' within his own authority."
This amazing question indicates
an established faith in -Him as the
Messiah, but betrays,at the same
time, an expectation that His
kingdom would be to some extent
a ,temp'oral one—that it would
free the nation from their- de -
pe de ce on the Romans and re-
store to them their ancient pros
• perity• and • power. . 8. "But . ye
