The Grace of Olv1na.---2 Corinth
D. 1-15.
Comneentary.I. Liberality of the Co-
rinthiane eve. 14), 1, Ministering to
the saints -Paul refers to the collec-
tion for the eitureli at Jerusalem, men-
tionea in 1 Cor. 16, 1.3. It bad been
bis plan to help in relieving the els-
tresses Of the emir Clireitians there
(Acts 11,29, 30). There were several
reasons Why the Christiana at Jena
saleM needed belie They were looLed
down upon by the Jean, and it is I
liable that many of them die not he e
emPloYneent on that aceount.
Strangerhad remained at J eV ose.Leo
alter Pentecost and were in iniverfe-
A famine prevailed in that region, in.
the days of Claudius. Superlitions for
me to write to you -The apostle com-
mended their spirit of benevolence and
did not wish to be understood ae meet-
ing them to give. Re believed that it
was only neceeary for him to make a
oggestion and the contribetiou would
be ready at the proper time. 2. The for-
wardness of your minci--"Your readi-
ness." -R. V, for which I boaet of You
to them of Macedoula-Paul was then
in Macedonia, and it would appear 1.:.ut
he "was asking the ehurches ther3 la
•contribute to the needs of the inns.
Arachsea-That portion at lireete
which Corinth was situated- A ,)...ar
ago, --Or last year. Your zeal bath peo-
yoked very inann-The examvie otae
Corinthis,n Christiane in giving Led
called forth a spirit of liberality in
others. Provoked her means to stit• ep,
in a good sense. 3. Sent the brethren -
There were three, one of whom was
Titus, but the names of the other two
are clot given (3.6, 1S 22).
4. Haply -Perchance, by any pos-
sibility, Come with ma -There was
cionie likelihood that Christiane from
Macedonia would accompany Paul to
Corinth. We (that we say not, ye)
should be ashamed -In a very delicate
way Paul throws out the thought teat
not only he himself; but the Corin-
thians also, would be erabaraseed if
they were not ready with their cuil c -
tion, inasmuch ae he had told 'IN.a-
cecionifi, of their generosity, 5; Were -
of ye had notice beforee-What Leal
been promised before. Bounty - Tae
gifts of the Corinthians are callee a
blecsing, because they are so to others,
and because they call down n blesslag
on those who impart thern.-Cam. Bib.
The offerings should be freely made.
II. Rewards of llueraiity (vs. 6-11.)
6, He whichsoweth sparingly -He
calls it sowing in order that we may
loam by the tigure of the harvest that
in giving we receive inore than we
gave.-Chrysostona. The figure is an
impressive one. He "who sows little,
Will have a small harvest. Ile who
sows nothing, W111 have no harvest.
The harvest will be in kind and in
amount according to the sowing, Sow-
eth bountifully -The farmer or the
gardener sows more seed than he ex-
pects will grow and reaca Maturity.
He makes allowance for the destruc-
tion of some of the seed by itrects
and supposes that some of the seed
will not germinate: In Christian lib-
erality there need bo no fear that giv-
ing will go unrewarded. 7. As he pur-
poseth in his heart -The heart et the
Christian giver is to decide the am-
ount of the gift. Not grudgingly -
Not out of grief; not giving vrhen one
does it because he thinks he muet.
'Gifts thue bestowed do not bless the
giver, but may benefit the receiver.
God loveth a cheerful giver -He -who
considers himself one of God's stew-
ards is glad to give as the Lord pros-
pers him. Th 9 Greek word tranelated
cheerful is that from which our word
hilarious comes. The cheerful giver
is one who is joyous and Ailey in aes
giving.
8. God is able to make all grace
abound toward you -God is net limit-
ed in all resources. If we. give to the
poor and to his cause, he .is nble to
make us abound in his gifts to Us. No
one should shrink from giving for fear
of being himself impoverished. God
will bless his obedient, trusting chilli.
ren with teraporal and spiritual gifts.
Always having all sufficiency -The
language is exceedingly forceful. Here
is great encouragement for us to trust
God. We are blessed according to our
faith. Abound to every good work -
God's plan is to bestow abundance up-
on us that we may invert temporal
and spiritual good to others. 9. As it
is written -The quotation is Preen Pea.
112: 9, and is here introdueed to sub-
stantiate what has just been said. The
good ' man bestows the good • thinge
with which the Lord 'nits bleesed him
upon the needy about him. Ile shall
not lack the means with whith to
abound in good works toward others.
10. He that ministereth-God. Shall
supply and multiply your Seed (R. V.)
-This is a promise that the Lord
who furnishes seed and supplies our
wants will grant to us an inerearie of
ability to serve him by serving others.
11. Being enriched in every thing--•
This verse expressee impressively the
truth that those who give in Ms name
will be abundantly riewarded Bounti-
fulness -The apostle makes free use
ot the words that stand for abund-
ance, sufficieney and ability. Causeth
through us thanksgiving to Cod--
Tho.se 'who give should thank God that
they have the ability to do it, and
those 'who receive are thankful to God
and to his children who give.
III. Thankfulness for gifts (vs, 12-
15). 12, The administration of this
service ---"The bestowment of this
public benefaction." Paul haci refer-
ence to the (service that wae being ren-
dered to the poor eaints at Jerusalem
by the gifts made by the church at
Corinth, Thanksgivings into God -
"'his service" would aceomplith two
things. 1, It wOuld relieye the needy,
2. It 'would draw the attentith of the
givers, as welt as the recipients, to-
ward the Lordand would call forth
thankegiving to him. 12, Whiles by tho
eaperiment of this ministration -
"Through the evidence afforded by
the sereice thus rendered," They glor-
ify God -Those who are to retelve the
gifte evil praise God for the faithful -
nese „and devotion Of those, who, in
the name of Christ and Irie gospel,
bestow thein, They will see that the
Corinthian Christiana not only rm.
fused faith in Christ, but they flat)
exemplified that faith, Per Your libel'
ai distribtition unto thett-eFor the
liberality Of your coatribution unto
them." It. V, 14, And by their praYee
for you -1n addition to the tbartkful4
ness to God on the part of those to
wheel the gifts would come, there
would be prayers for the benefactors
and a desire to see tltose whose Chris-
tlan love and liberality heal found ex-
pression in the gifts ao freely be -
clewed, 15. Thanks be unto God -The
snostle ekerceses his gratitude to God
for all that grate bad itoeorriplished

1, Its value. Very remarkable was
the toneernese, consideration an dell-
coo-, of feeling with. which Peen ad-
cireesea the chureh at Corinth. In ilia
inleptione for collecting their contribn-
Lees ne recognized their merits. He
reepected their reputation. He studied
altar eonvenience, Ile not only gave
credit for what they had done, Mere-
ly as a matter of policy or politeness,
but as a Matter of juistice, Other air -
Inez. bad tailed under the pressure of
woridlinees and carnotite, They had
maintained the benevolent enterinnee
of helping the poor. Goa honored that
trait in there. Paul had been made
glad by the report widen he laud re-
colved concerning the more spirituols
ly-minded Corinthians. Ile had strong
faith in buman nature under the in-
fluence of Chriatian grace. The ground
ef Paul's fear was the influence which
the troubles and eonflicts through
.4..ish the Carinthian Churth had been
. wising, would have uP011 the matter
of external interests. Enemies of Con-
aith were earnestly endeavoring to un-
dermine Paul's authority and destroy
hia intluence. If they regarded the
collection of Paul's affair, they would
declare against it. Paul sought to over-
come that malign influence by his
kindly pleading and by sending raes-
sengors who would make it clear that
the colection was a matter of public
concern, and not one ot personal pro-
fit ,to Paul, The matter was wholly
under the regulation of the various
Gentile churches as their nutted contri-
bution to the mother church at Jeru.-
• gaiety,. It was an .indication of bro-
therhood between Jewish and Gentile
Christians. It was the conecting link
in the chain that was to bind them
together. It was a strong testimony
to the diniumaess of the gospel. The
Cerinthians had received Peal's re-
proofs and -counsels with right feeling.
Tney had cleared themselves of all
coniplicity with the doings of their
unworthy member. Paul felt sure they
were cherishing proper eentiments con -
earning Christian brotherhood and
charity, and on the duty of the strong
bearing the infirmities of the weak.
11 Its motive. Paul prceeeded on
the principle that nothing se inspires
God's people to give to him as the re-
membrance of what Pod had given to
them. He never lost sight ot the one
inspiring motive, the love of Christ
SteiWard us and his divine sacrifice in
ourbehalf. After spealcipg of lesser
gifti, Paul called attention to ,God's
siepeeme Gift, showing that Christian-
ity lays the basis for human duty in
divine acts. Such duty requirethe
hanitual oederlog of character and
conduct by the highest airas and mod-
es set before us, in a life regulated by
1.he steady action of true prineiple.
There was no appeal to selfishnes.s in
Paul's simple statement of a divine
laW in harvest. For cheerful giving,
he teaches that it is necessary first of"
all that the heart should be free from
the spirit of covetousness, since God
measares all giving by the motive
prompting it. God's abounding gifts
were to be regarded by the Corinthians
es the example and means for their
own. Their giving would be ennobled
1,y doing it at the right time. A check
in the progress of charity would be
harmful to them. Paul did not state
new much a Christian should give.
III. Its reward, Paul taught that
all true service has it reward. He
•
affirmed that the liberal helper was
in everyrespect the wealthier and
happier for his generosity. He distin-
guished cheertul givers as those to
whom giving brings keenest and pur-
est pleasure with. spiritual improve-
ment. To such a higher manhood is
awakened in the soul. It exercises in
gipsi the powers of moral discipline.
The certainty of a divine regard to the
true giver rests on the direct promise
of Cod. For every sacrifice made for
others there comes closer fellowship
with God. The fruits of rightebusness
will infinitely surpass the deeds done.
The liberality of God extends through
every stage of individual life and
trough every period of church his-
tory. Paul ranked cheerful giving
among the evidences of CligistianitY.

at home.
Tho motto of a tow years ago, "Back
to the laud," time has given way to
the slogan, "England must feed her -
sett." Lord Seiborae, the leader ot
the crusade, declares that the attain-
ment of this object in the country's
sacred duty, and he emphasizes the
point that the !Armor cao do as much
for the country as the soldier in the
trenches.
Plans for the great reforra include
a number of important measures that
aro to be put into effect at the eanliest
possible moment. They include the
following:
1. The repopulation tit the rural dis-
tricts and affoeestationo The War
Office has just consented to the ex-
cliange of many of the older mon
who in the earlier days of the war left
farm work for the firing line for men
between 19 and 30 to take their places
at the front. This exthange will eegin
immediately.
2. The setting aside of thousands of
ecres for the settlement on the co-
operative plan of England's soldiers
and Sailors after the war. This ex-
pediency is provided for by the Small-
holding Colonies _act, now half Way
through Parliament. The scheme will
Lrovide for model villages, better
housing, with a garden to every cot-
tage, reading rooms., libraries and
good schools. Conceived by .Loril Set -
borne; the iden has aroused so moth
enthusiasm that a wide demand bas
been made for increasing the land to
be deroted to it by almost as much
again as is specified in the bill.
-
3, The importation of natives from
Smith Africa for agricultural labor
during tho remainder of the war,
though so many objections have been
raised to this that there is little
ot its being adopted.
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE.
It Is believed that ttie plan for
Lriuging back soldiers from the front
will have tho effect of providing suf-
ficient turn labor practically imme-
diately. IA announcing the War Of-
fice's consent to the trausfers,
an. ox -
pert told the Agricultural Society that
In England and Scotland, as well as
in Ireland, the farms in many districts
had fallen far belotv their minimum
.needs in the matter of labor, -
The tendency to regard rnore sere
ousiy the country's capacity for grow-
ing larger crops is illustrated by the
figures of the wheat, barley and oats
crops in England and Wales. Wheat
and oats were grown. in larger quan-
tities, though .the barley crops were
much smaller. There were 5,489,939
acres devoted to the three cereals in
England and Wales in 1915, an in-
crease of 248,044 Acres as eompared
with 1914. The greatest increase in
acreage was devoted to wheat, or
2,170,170 acres in all, the figure retire -
tenting an increase of 862,672 acres (20
per cente greater than In 1914, and
26 per cent. greater than during any
of the years between '1905 and 1915.
Every country returned increased
areas, the total for Wales of 11.63
acres (31 per cent.) being the greatest.
The returns for 1916 give 2,00,047
aeres under oats, an increase of 153,421
acres as compared with 1914, but only
24,869 acres above the average for the
past tele years. The whole of this
increase was in England. The retitle.
tion of the areas utider barley amount-
od to 158,421 acres, the total acreage
of 1;231,722 being the lowest yet re-
corded.
Perhaps to no individual as inuch as
to the Earl of Solborne is due the
credit of bringing home to tho people
of all classes the importance ot taking
prompt means of making the country
more nearly Self-supporting in food -
muffs. In all of his addresses in
recent years he, has laid stress on thie
point. A practical farmer and en-
thutiast on his large and fertile tract
in Hampshire, he has been able to
meet the objections of OpPenents of
expert knowledge to the great advan-
tag° of hie crusade.
As Under-Seeretary for the Colon-
ies between 1895 and 1900, ask well all
deigns his term of office as High
COmmiseloner of South Afrioa flume-
diately after the war, he had further
opportunity ot ettlargitig his know-
ledge as to agricelture.
Just betore resigning as President
of the Board of Agriculture the other
day, as a matter of principle dile to
hie view e on the Trish question, Lord
Selboree eoitsented to review briefly
the Ballet-1On as to .agrieulture in an
interview With a representative of the
AsilOtiated Press.
"I have been highly grained by
the ready response of the people gen.
'madly to the idea of making the
countrsr more nearly self-supporting
froM the soil," he said. "I have made
my plea for the cultivation of the
soil on the groundof patriotism; the

• AFFORESTATION, TOO.
'While we are Iliac as well equipped
itt this respect of agricultural colleges
as a country of larger rural popula-
tion like the United Staten we are
paying state grants to institutions
-scattered over the entire country that
are directing their energies into this
vital channel of instructing the people
in the art of agriculture, When they
are further alongin their task, our
goal of accomplishing the repopula-
tion of the agricultural districts will
be siraplified, if not solved. Likewise
a splendid impetus will be given the
work of etforestation, cie badly needed'
throughout the country.
"Cambridge University and schools
and colleges at Leeds, Brietol and
Reading are among the institutions
that are aiding in this work of train-
ing our future farmers.
"But perhaps the condition to which
farming had dropped in the :United
Kingdom may be better understood be
a reference to its hletory. It must In
remembered first that up to the time
of the passing of the Great Reforme
Bill in 1882, land In this country was'
a source of great political power.
"The bill's effect in transferring
the basis of power from land owner-
ship was manifested gradually, and
that depression which was the great-
est catastrophe in the history a agri-
culture did not, begin until the end of
the seventies. That was with the
fall in the price of wheat to 24 shil-
lings to a quarter, and of corn and
other farm produce in proportion.
Farming, of 'course, ceased to be a
business proposition.
"Millions of pounds were lost, and
thousands of fanners were absolutely
ruined. Conditions remained very
bad for farming for thirty-five years.
"Owing to a variety of causes an
improvement occurred between 190,
and 1905. This improvement was
being maintained 'and was increasing
when the war broke out Although
it had placed the farmer so he was
making a good commercial pro-
fit ten years before the war, every
Year saw less land under cultivation
and more acres devoted to green The
increase in the areas going to grass
was due to the fact that farmers could
make a good living in that way with
less risk, and the memory of the ter-
rible experience of the depression,"
Lord Selborne will have something
to do with the revival of agriculture,
even now that he has resigned his
place as President of the Board of
Agriculture, as the Prime Minister
has invited him • to co.operitto with
him in the task rif reconstruction. of
agriculture after the war.
Speaking before the Agrieultoral

Does thought come and go, and is
there a law for periodicity?
Is it a fact that an image once pre -
seined to consciousness tends to re-
cur, without voluntary effort, at the
end of a specified period. This the -
Joy has been put forth by Dr. Herman
ewoboda, of Vienna, 'Who has been
studying some interesting data bear-
ing on the cause and significance of
dreams.
This scientist believes that impres-
eions and events are again brought in-
to the field of consciousness after cer-
tain specified intervals, in the case at
men after twenty-eight days. Thoughts
and recollections, on the other hand,
have a periodicity which is apparently
not explained in any way by examine.
tion of the customary train of ideas.
The reproduction of impressions and
recollections is so regular that Dr.
Swobotla has frequently succeeded in
predicting the appearance of certain
dreams at specific times.
He himself always has the well-
ithown "flying -dream" twenty-three
days after he has been skating, and it
Is probable that continual use of our
arms and legs in other than in a nor%
mai manner, as in dancing, skating,
bicycling, etc., will, atter a perloz of
twenty-three or twenty-eight days,
produce the "flying-dreatu."
Dr. Swoda tells of a case of a phy-
sician who dreams that he is called
upon to see a sick child. The third
of January the physician made a
visit to the child under discussion, and
the night cit the 27th and Htle of
March he had his dream. During his
visit of the 3rd of January he had re.
calved hie itapreseions, *which after
the triple lapse of the period of
twenty-eight days Were again present-
ed in the dream. At the same time the
physician had his dream the mother
of the child had a dream which repre-
sented the former Tialt Of the physi-
cian, in the case of the' physician the
dream creating a premonition that he
would be called to see the child, while
with the mother there was suggested,
the advisability of calling in the phy-
sician.
A. moth more remarkable case, how-
ever, is that of a written correspond.
once cerried on by Swolteela wine a
persoe at a distance. One day Swob0-
do's correhpondent declared that he
had fOreseen in a dream the (travel of
Swoboda's letter, and upon investiga-
tith It developed that the lettere were
Written exaetly twenty-three and

of starting the oorrespondence the
