Text of the Lesson, Acts foci, 1-17. Memory Verses, 13, 14—golden Text, Acta xxi, 14—Commentary Prepared 'by Rev. D. M. Stearns. 1Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association. When the time canoe to leave Tyre the disciples there, men, women end children, accompanied Paul's party out of the city down to the shore, and ' all kneeled down on the shore and prayed. What an object lesson for those who may have been looking on! There are always some watching us who draw their own Inferences from our conduct as to • whether we are avorldly or other worldly, whether we are for the most part in communion Nrith earth or heaven. Some who bear the name of Christ have been known to shrink from praying before others or even asking a blessing on their food. What can He think of those who are thus ashamed of Him? (Matt. x, 33.) As at Dfiletus, so here at Tyre we have another painful separation when Paul and his companions set sail and the friends from Tyre return to their homes, but we trust that all heerts were more than ever turned to Him who is our continual habitation (Ps. )ssi, 3) and from whose presence some day we shall go no more out. One day at Ptolemais, where they also found brethren, and then to Caesarea, where they tarried many days in the home of Philip the evangelist, who had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy. We recall that Philip was greatly used of God in Samaria and then to. lead the Ethiopian treasurer to Christ, after Which he preached in all the cities from Azotus ta Caesarea (Acts 'yin,. 40), but that seems •to be the last we have heard of him till now. God gave to the churches apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying 4)f the body of Christ (Eph. iv, 11, 12), and were it not that Philip is still called the evangelist we might think that he had become pastor of the enurch at Caesarea and that Cornelius and his household were members of that church. There are so many things we are not told and we are curious 'enough to want to know, but we must wait to find out why we hear nothing more of Philip's active ministry and to learn what he was doing at Caesarea. Then these daughters of his—in what sense did they propheby? Concerning it all It comes to me con- tinually that there is only One with whom we have to do, and • if we are filling the place He assigns us, be its service small or great, that is all He requires of us, whether-,4other people know much or little or anything about it. He appoints to every one his work and says "occupy till I come" (Mark iii, 34; Luke six, 13). He knows in what part of His field His plants will -thrive best and bear the fruit that He • desires, so it is ours to quietly abide :in Him and see no one but Jesus only. We may imagine what a time of pray. and praise and study of the word these days in Caesarea were a they would listen to ul what things God had wrou 'ministry. (verse 19), for as he after - inward dirl at Jerusalem he probably did here also and elsewhere. While at •Caesarea a prophet from Judea named Agabus by a striking object lesson foretold that at Jerusalem Paul would be arrested and imprisoned, upon which the disciples there as well as Paul's own companions besought him not to go to Jerusalem. Paul's reply to them all was that he was ready, not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name Of the Lord Jesus (verse 13). Compare his words to the Ephestan elders at Miletus in 1-.11 a p ter xx, 24. Both of these are splendid utterances of a whole hearted servant of Christ who would not by any perstasion of friends be turned aside from what be believed to be the Lord's way for him. When they saw that he would not be persuaded they simply ceased -urging him and said. "The will of the Lord be done" (yerse 14). Being joined by several of the disciples from Caosarea and by an old disciple from Cyprus named Mnason, who was to lodge them. they in due time reached Jerusalem and were *gladly received by the brethren. Thus, ended the third missionary jour- ney. .concerning the will of tte Lord to assefi'ich they desired to submit when they found, that they could not per- suade Paul not to go to Jerusalem, here can be nothing greater or higher and when His will shall be done on earth as in heaven that will be the kingdom of God on this earth. • Our Lord Jesus could say, "I delight to do 'Thy will, 0 my God;" "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent We and to finish His work" (Ps. si, 8; John iv, 34). In proportion as His will is done in us now, that good and accept- able and perfect will of God (Rom. sii, 1, 2). we have just that much of the liinedem in us, a forstaste of eternal glory. ala:`# 'we ever say from the heart cheerfully, "Thy will be done." is it possible• for us to think that we are In the will of God when we are simply working out our own will? It is to be feared so. I could believe that Paul was right in resisting all the en- -treaties of his fellowbelieveri- and fellow laborers unto the kingdonl and dr.lrrn1njng to go to .1ern:410m at any cost -were it not that the Spirit said to that he should nut go (verses 4, 11), The eisciples said to Paul through 11' spirit that he should not ge. how daring by his Ofok's Cotton Root Compound.

Canadian Author Has a Particular Fondness For Being In Hot Water, • That Mr: William Wilfred Campbell has started a purity hunt after the novelists of the day need surprise no one who knows the magi. It is no otdinary small fry like the Canadian lady „whe wrote "Three Weeks" that he has sharpened hi a pen for. It is such robust personages as George Meredith and William de Morgan that he is after. 1What. he thinks about Fielding. the first of great English novelists, he does not reveal, bat is view would probably be too hot for Publication. Mr. Campbell is noth- ing if not courageous, as he has prov- ed on More than one occasion. He comes from the Lake Huron region, and at one time when he was a clergy- man station at St. Stephen, N.B., he published a book . of lyrics de- neriptive of the lake country of his boyhood that attracted general atten- tion. Finding that he could not ac- cept the orthodox view of Christian- ity he courageously resigned his charge and attempted ,to make a live- lihood 'through literature. Friends in the late Conservative administration, recognizing his undoubted talent, ob- tained for bim a past in the civil ser- vice at Ottawa, whither he went to joie the rather numerous band. poets poets who reside at the capital. • Shortly afterward The Toronto Globe decided to run a weekly sym- posium on literary themes, by Mr. Campbell the late Archibald Lamp - man, and Duncan Campbell Scott. One Saturday Mr. Ca.mpbell gave ex- pression to what some Would deem harmless views on the position of the cross as a religious synibol, stating that it had been so regarded in the East long before the crucifixion. At once the fat was in the fire. The old Presbyterian subscribers took it to mean that The Globe was spreading • heresy. The editor . had net under- stood it that way but the letters kept pouring in and finally the journal was forced to editorially repudiate Mr. Campbell's statements.. That was an cl to the weekly symposium. Perhaps, however, the most exciting . eontroversy that 'Mr. Campbell ever precipitated was when he attempted to denounce Bliss Carman as a pia-. giarist. Carman was then; and is still, the doyen of the Canadian colony in New York. • At great length Mr. Campbell went tliroagh Carman's work with a fine tooth comb and ac- cused him of stealing most Of his best lines, principally from Matthei, Arn- old. Some of bis analogies were not very clear and it-ia• probable that no poet who ever published a line could stand such a "gruelling"process and escape the charge of plagiarism. At once the New York co)onyfell upon William Wilfred and rent him hip and thigh, suggesting that he look to his own house. Campbell'sreply was that the Now York colony werea gang of log -rollers anyway. The eon- troversy raged Until the newspapers were obligedto close 'their columns to it because it was fatiguing the gen- eral public. • It will be seen that M• r. Campbell is a man of radical views. A.. few years ago he startled a few University professors in a lecture up at 'Varsity ; by asserting that the Roman civiliza- tion had done nothing for -humanity. It is probable that Meredith and the others who have the honor to keep him company in Mr. Campbell's bad books Will survive the* assault for a little while. And the question that occurs to one is, "If Mr. Campbell does not like novels why does he read them?"

Some wash it once a day, some not that of- ten They claim that they cannot see any differencein the butter made from the cream when the separator is cared for in this manner. Let them keep that butter for three months and then they will see a great difference. Fifty per cent of farmers' wives are neg Meting to wash the sep ,rator. Those practices must be stopped as far as possible. 'Many clean women in other respects leave their • separator in a filthy state because the separator eg. ent that bad a difficult machine to clean said that it was not necessary to wash his machine. When one woman starts washing her separatot only once a day, her neighbors soon do the same thing, As a result of these practices. we are not getting so good cream from separators to•day as we did 10 years ago. .All the filth and the slime in the milk is left ila the separator bowl. You may flush it out as much as you like, but, all the slime and dirt is left there, The next time the milk is separated many of germs that are sure to be growing there, will be taken put with the cream. • When the separ- ator is not washed, the cream cannot help but he contaminated, unless, of course, the separator has been frozen in the interval. You cannot see these germs,- bot they ate there just the same, Many of these germs grow most rapidly at d temperatuee of. about 70 degrees, hence they find a favorable temperature in which to work when the unwashed, separator is locatedin the stable. • All the tinware and .the bowl of the separator should be taken to the house regularly eadh time it iS uSed and thor- oughly washed and scalded. The, eery best care should be taken to Olean it well. One might just as well -and bet- ter leave their milking Utensils un- washed as to neglect the separator.
