Topic. Ohriste resurrection. Place: Emmaus, Tills is ail Easter Jenson. Two disciples were talking about Jesus, Cele they were travelling toward Emmaus. Jesue joined them, but they did not recognize him. He explained the scriptures about himself to thorn, and later, while they ate to- gether, he made himself nnown to them. They hastened to Jerusalem to tell the ether disciples that Jesus was alive. III. Topic: Allegiance to Christ. Place: Perea, Jesus explained to the multitudes the conditions of dieciples ship. Those wbo 'vaunt follow • Jesus must love him more than they love any and all earthly objects, They must deny themselves. They must consider what it means to undertake to follow him, and go forward, allowing nothing to . turn them back. IV, Topic: Redemptive work. Place: Perea. The Pharisees and scribes re- proached jesus for receiving publicans and sinners. lie showed them by the parables of the lost sheep awl the lost coin that he was seeking to nave the loft. There is joy in heaven over a sinner that repents and is saved . V. Topic: lestrang,ement from Cod. Place: levee. Christ's love for the lost, and his readiness to receive those- wipe repent and turn to him, are illustrated by the story of the prodigal son. He had received his inheritance and squandered it in sinful pleasure. He became desperately poor and decided to return penitently to his father. He nes cordially welcomed by hie, loving and forgiving father. 1•Iis elder bro- ther, who had stayee at home, was angry because such attention was given to his reckless brother, He did not give him any welcome. VI, Topic: Character delineated. Place: Perea. 13y the parable of the unjust steward Jesus teaches the necoesity of making preparation for the future life. The course ef the stew- ard is not commended, but his wisdom In providing for his future is given as an example of wbat we should do in spiritual matters. Jesus taught that no servant can serve' two masters at the same time. VII. Topic: Nettling lines. Place: Pena. The Pharisees were displeased with what Jesus said about covetons- nese and epoke elightingly of hie words. Jesus gave the story of the rich man and Lazarus, showing that the godly man under the most unfav- orable earthly conditions is far better off for time and eternity than the worldly, eelfisli man under the most favorable ouditions, VIII. Topic: Standard-bearers. Place: Perea. Jesus showed how careful we should be of our inflnences lest we nano some one to stumble. The excellence of it forgiving spirit is shown. One shoeld foigive as often as forgiveness is sought. After one has lone all he can in God's service, he has done no more than be ought. IX.•Topic• Saving faith. Plime: A village near Samaria. As Jewett woe passing along the border between Gal- ilee and Samaria, ten lepers saw him and called upon him to have mercY upon them. Jesus told them to go and ehow themselves to the priests. • They obeyed and were deemed as they -- went. Only one, a &internam rot:11.n- m' and gave God the glory for his cleansing. Jesus said: "Were there not ten cleansed? but wheee are the nine?" This incident shows the base- ness of ingratitude. X. Topic Decisive days. Place: Per- o. To the Pharisees' inquiry as to when the kingdom of Ood -should come, Jesus Paid that it was not en outward kingdom to be seen, but was an inward kingdom. Ho told his hear- ers to beware of false Chriets. The seeond coming of Christ could not take Place immediately. Christ limit stiffer firat. jeruealem would be destroyed within a fesv years. XL Topic: Life reeords. Plaeo: Pace; Jericho. To reprove those Who were self-righteous and despised oth- ers. Jesus spoke the parable et the Pharisee awl the republican at prayer. The penitent publican was beat() and saved, white the boastful Pherisee re- ceived nothing front the Lord: The story of the tonversion of Zaceheuts, the punlican, is told.

A system of self -life, I, Delineated in paritble.

Jesus made no atteMpt to conceal his real teachings from the Pharisees, but in the case a the publican and Pharisee, Praying in the temple, Jesus mimed them definitely, as he portrayed their different attitudes before God, There was sufficient reason why the Publi- can went down justified, while the ,Pliarlsee remained in his legal self- righteousness. In no instance coule the Pherthees gainsay the truth. They were shown to be their ewe excludere from the gospel feast, 11, A system of self -life. So exclusive and selfish, patterned after the tra- cations of the elders, was the spirit of Pharthaisin, that it practically gave character to the entire Jewish people. That they might obtain a warning of the determined purpose of God against their selfish practices, their neglect of Proper attention to the ecriptures, and their duties therein set forth, the par- able of the rich man and Lazarns was pictured in clear and distinct teach- ing, Unless the Jews would see in Jesus the promised Messiah and co- operate with him in the uplift of humenity they could expect no other avenue of salvation or escape fgom Punishment. The publicans and sin- ners whom, they so despised would at last be aelcnowledged by them as the true sons of Abraham, while they were tormented by the memory of their lost opportunity for personal salvation. What their self -life prevented • them from seeing in. the golden days of Christ's ..ministry, they could not fail to see when eternity reveals real ebar- acter. Only under the common misery of leprasy did the lines of separation seem to disappear, making Jews and Samaritans stand on the Ramo level. Only the nine Jews .were cousidered admissible to the temple when Jesus healed their leprosy, 'though the healer had as freely granted cleansing to the Samaritan. Despised as he was, the Samaritan found salvation by faith in Jesus, proving ,Jesus' words true, "The last shall be first, and the first nast." naccheeus the publican and an outcast from Jewish society, is an example hi contrast to the rich young ruler. He offered his wealth to the service ot humanity after his interview with Christ. The young ruler went away sorrowful, clinging to his wealth and Itis trust in moral uprightness. The taint of pharisaism hindered his Tree acceptance of the gospel. T. It. A. •••-•46-4-40-,-..-•••••• MEDIATION IS FLAT FUN U. S. President Stands Firm for Constitutionalist Head Only Hope is in Huerta's Dele- gate Giving Way. Washington Report -The Niagara Falls mediation conference as a means of bringing peace to Mexico seems to have been doomed at a White House conference to -night, at- tended by President Wilson, Secretary of State Bryan, and Minister Name of Argentina.' The Argentina diplomat teamed that the tinned States will stand firm In its demand that a Constitutional- ist be appointed to the Provisional Presidency of of the southern repub- lic to succeed General Huerta, lie learned that the only hope for the success of the mediation lies in the possibility that ine Mexican delegates May Yield from their demand that a "neutral" be appointed to the head of the Provisional Government. The possibility that the Mexicans will give in en this point is regarded as re- mote. FINAL WORD SPOKEN. Niagara Falls Despatch -Although no one here is willing to -night to ven- ture a prediction regarding the fate of the mediation conference, all agree that the final word was spoken this evening in Washington, when Romulo SS. Naon, afinister of Argentina, con- ferred with President Wilson arid Secretary Bryan. When the message was shown to Senor Rabasa, the Mexican delegate. appeared deeply moved. He refused to discuss the matter, but at once called to his side his four daughters, who were dancing in the ball room of the hotel, and all retired iminedi- ately. None of the other members of the, delegation would discuss the message. All agreed, however, that the last hope had vanished and nothing was left but. to pack up and depart. On all sides it is Conceded that me- diatien has failed. One Of those most prominently con- neeled With the Mexican delegation said to-nigiit: "We lutve not yet lost hope ot ecinvincing the United Statea Governinent of the justice of our cause, eine of the soundness of the Drinciplee for which we are righting. We will not withdraw from the con. ference until every vestige of hope bas disappeared. We are fighting for the freedom of Mexico, and brine no other aim than than to aid in restor- ing peace and prosperity to. our af- flicted country. "We still remain convinced that President Wilson will alter his atti- tude and grant our request for a neutral provisional president.

Oue of the secrets in successfal vegetables ?rowing is to thin out the plants at the proper time, When this Is, done it adds strength and vigor to those that remain, and it Is the quickly - grown vegetables that are of the best size and flavor. Thinning out is it method that the beginner does not take to very kindly. He certainly does hate to lose any of his crop. .Fullerton says "a, person never becomes it good gardener until lie steels his nerves to this ruthless sacrifice." , Thinning out seould bc perrormed before the plants. be drawn or elon- gated in their stems or leaves, or they will ever afterward show the injurious effects of crowding. As no vegetable will properly develop if crowded, one symmetrical plant is of more value than a dozen sickly ones. The idea of sowing seed thicaly is so that we May eave plenty of young Wants to provide against accidents or loss from insects. The thinning should be done by degrees, when nepessity , arises. In beets the plant; should be gradu- ally thinned to about five inches apart. Carrots -Thin same as beets, Parsnips -ditto. Radishes -three !bones. Tureips-fivo inches. Lettuce -thin gradually, using the tbinnings for table use, until the Plants stand about ten inches apart, Kale -fifteen inches. Sugar corn -eight inches. Beans -four inches, Pole lima beans -plant about seven beetle around each pole, eye down- ward; cover about an ineh deep, and when the plants are well up thin to about three plants to pole. In planting cucumber, melon, ptunp- Inn, and squash, use about 35 seeds scattered all over the hill; cover about a half-inch, and firm with the back of the hoe, 'When the vines are well up, thin out half of them; when the remainder begin to run, thin them out to three, well apart Chard -15 inches apart in the row. Endive -one foot. e, Herbs -one foot. Mustard -four inches apart when two inches high. Okra -one foot, Parsley -six inches. The cominon method of transplant- ing is to remove the roots, or a por- tion of them, out of the soil and re- plant in a new location. It must be carefully done, as rough handling will destroy the fine ones. The water of plants is absorbed by root hairs, which. grow only on the youngest roots, The younger the roots the more readily they send out hew ones. For that rea- son as Many of tho younger roots should be retained as possible. While out of the soil the roots should be kept moist. All maagled and broken roots should he cut off with a sharp knife before replanting. The importance of using it sharp knife is that new roots ,start more freely from it smoothly cut end than from a rough and bruised one. The hole ha which tho Vaults are to be placed should be large enough to receive the roots freely. It is a bad practice to bend the roots in order that thi y may enter the hole, aa it is likely to cause disease. Dip the roots Into water before replanting. Trans- plant on it dull day by preareence, or at dusk. Bracebridge Despatch -The Canada temperance act was beaten to -day in Muskoka.

While teaching the calf to drink, please remember that it is a baby and you will not be so apt to kick it into the corner, and in a fit of anger try to drown it in the milk bucket or jam Ito head. through the bottom of the pail. Has your residence or ycur barn it leaking reef? The best time to repair or to re-cover a roof that is leaking or worn out is right now. Prepared roofing material is not expensive, and it does not take an expert to apply it to the building. At no time of the year do horses re- quire more careful grooming than in the spring when they are shedding their coats. The Mellon of the eurry- comb stimulates the growth of new hair and aids in the quick shedding of the old. While it is true that a cow does not require much room, she should have space ehough for conifort when she is lying down. The stall also wants to - be of a width so that Ole can move with ease Min side to side when she wishes to do so, an4 if she is held by means of a stanebion there should be freedom sufficient far her to move her head and lion and for reaching hay and other feed, for two or three feet from the centre of her head position. All things considered, the swing stan- chion is the most humane a any method of fastening a cow. The uee of lime on the E011 iS much needed in many sections where the land is rough, cloddy and easily "baked" after' teavy rains. A liberal application should follow tile turning under of a heavy crop of vegetable matter if possible. 4.••••••••••••• Barnyard manure not only supplies plant foods nitrogen espnialy, but it also *affords humus, which is often more urgently needed than the plant food.. With plant and humus supplied It is no wonder the yield is increased by a liberal to of manure. In starting with sheep it Is advisable to select a few good ewes and a pure- bred ram and gradually enlarge the flock as we gain a better knowledge of the business. One may gain consid- erable experience from reading good books and papers, but with sheep, the same as with any other kind of live stock, there aro certaiu lessons, that must be learned by associatiing with the animals themselves. The liberal use of barnyard manure fer garden soil is almost indispensable to the production of high-class vege- tables. Those who enrich their gar- den soil with good manure generally have the satisfaction of gathering nolo vegetables. 'The best way to have plenty of manure is to keep enough animals and save all of the droppings. A good dairy herd, when properly cared for, produces revenue with which to improve the farm. One of the safest 'ways to make the farm af- ford a competence is to supply it with dairy animals. Dairy cows consume Ike coarse products raised on the farm and transform these hito butter fat. There is too much timidity in build- ing up land. Those who fear to spend a dollar fer fertilizer, lime, manure, eeth., will have difficulty in improving their poor soil. Remember that those who cast their bread 'upon the waters (intelligently) gather it up again (in- creased in size) many days hence. Humus is always needed in building orchard land. The best way to supply humus is to plant a cover creep to stand during winter and then turn it under in early spring.
