Vor-Tias word, inda ates a close counection between wliat precedes It and svhat follows. The kingdom of heaven -The divine ad- ministration among men, including God's providences and the plait or ha - man redemption in operation. Another Phase of the kingdom is presented, which relates to rewards for service rendered. Many parables aro used by our Lord to present the various phases Of His administration. 'Householder - One who owns an extensive business. In the parable the householder repre- eente God. Went out early....to hire laborers -Travellers hi the East tell us that it still le the custom for lab- orers to Assemble very early in the morning in public places, that employ- ers may come there to hire them. The The early hours of the morning were the best adapted for outdoor labor. and the work also was pressIng, 2. Agreed with the laborers -He found those who desired to work and a de- finite price was arranged. The labor- ers representthose who, as servants of God, have special regard for the wages offered. A peony a day -This was the Roman coin denarius, of the value of about fifteen cents, and re- presented an ordinary day's wages. In purchasing power it Was equivalent to a dollar or more of our money now. Vineyard -This represents the king- dom of God on earth. As the aouse- bolder sought laborers for his vine - so God is seeking workers to do His bidding in winning souls for Him. 11. Laborers hired late (vs. 3-7). 3. About the third hour -The day from six o'clock in the morning until six at night was divided into twelve hours, hence tho third hour was nine o'clock In -the morning. Saw others -The householder had hired all who were there early in the morning, and still he had not enough laborers to do the largo amount of work that needed to be done; therefore he went later to se- cure those whom he might find ready to work. Marketplace -An open space in the city was used for a market, a place of assembly, for the transaction of public business, as well as a place 'where those desiring to labor waited tor employers to appeal. 4. Go ye also --God is constantly calling new work- ers into His service. They went their way -The householders had promised to pay them what was right, without stating any definite sum. The laborers desired employment and went at once, trusting the householder to bestow up- on them the proper reward. God is Pleased with those servants of his who work for Him because they love Him, and aro not anxious about what they shall receive. 5. Sixth and ninth hour -Twelve and three o'clock. Likewise -Other laborers had found their waY to tile market place, -and since workers were still needed, they wore sent to the vineyard. These aiso went with- out questionings or misgivings, trust- ing the householder implicitly. 6. eleventh hour -Five o'clock, with but one hour to work. Why stand ye here all the day idle -No man would stand all the day in the marketplace 'idle, unless because he wanted work and could not get it. -Exp. Greek Test. The Master wants workers and will employ all who are fitted for His ser- vice and are willing to do the work he assigns. 7. No man bath hired us - Teachers and pastors have a duty to do in recognizing capacity for' work and encouraging and directing work- ers in Christ's vineyard. III. All laborers paid (vs. 8, 9). S. When even was cone. -Six o'clock, the close of the day's labor. The Mosaic law required that the employer *should pay his laborers their wages each day (Lev. 19, 13). Steward -One of the householder's trusted officers. From the last unto the first -The order of payment is the inverse of that of labor. This is almost a necessary part of the parable. For, if the first laborers had been paid first, they ould either have gone away without knowing what was done to the last, or, if they had remained, their objec- tion could not have been urged.--Ed- ershelm. Our Lord keeps closely to the principle which he designs to illustrate. 9. Every man a penny - Those wo went to work last had been employed but one hour, while the first In the vineyard had worked twelve, Yet each received a penny, a full day's wages. IV. Complaints answered (vs. 10-16). 10. First ,supposed that ()eery should have received more -They had no just ground for sech a supposition, inasmuch as they had made a definite bargain with the householder, end they received their full wages according to their agreement. 11. They murmured - Christians may indeed bo rewarded according to their works; but the spirit that seto high value on its work, and claims high pay over others, may find its works lowly prized with Ged. -Whedon. They showed their weak,- ness by their murmuring. Th a good - man of the house -The houaeholder. 12. Equal unto us-Equee only in mere money .value. "We are reword:el as we go. We get a victork in every fight; we have a heaven every sunset; we are paid by the hour, by the moment, by the breathing. We get what we can receive, we are rewarded Reeording to our capacity, and we are not at liberty, according to this parable, 'to estimate things by hours and by pen, riles and by time spent, but by another law which eomes Into revelation and operation oftentimes beyond the limits of mere Word' s go that we cannot me - plain the law to a man who has not aetually lived under its; beneficent operation." -Parker. The burden a.nd heat of the day -The severe toil of the entire day and not siMply one hour, and the burning rays of the iniddo.y ttili, 13. Thfs was a respeetful fortii of address. I do thee to wroitg-The householder had a right to give his Money to whom ho would, for by so doing be was not defrauding those whem he had hired. This was not a ease of injustice toward the all -day laborers, but a ease of liberality to- ward those who went to work later, trusting the kin dn ess and faithfulness of the householder. 14.

'rho last shall be eirst, and the first last -It was some time after Jesus had called his dIsciples and they had left all to, follow lam, that he told theta any- thing about reward. They had fol- lowed hint for bis sake alone, and the question of compensation had not been consideree. Those who aro looning for advantage and reward, will be last, while those whose service is one os faith and love evill be first. Many who think they should be first, and whom others possibly think should be first, may be last; while those who are little thought of may he first in the icing. dom. Here is encouragement for all who are devoted to God. • • Questions. -Whose words suggested this parable? What do the household-, or, the vineyard and the laborers rep- resent? Wliat was the value of the penny? What difference was there in the length of time the different groups of laborers worked? What was the amount given, to tlie several classes? Who made complaint? What was the ground of their complaining? What lessons aro taught by the parable? PRACTICAL SURVEY. Topic -Servants of God. I, Receive impartial call to service, II. Rank according to spirituality, 1. Receive impartial call to ser- vice. This parable is one from which we are liable to draw erroneous infer - micas unless it is considered in direct connection with the circumstances in which it was originally spoken. It is closely connected with Jesus' remarks in describing the reward e of the king- dom. Peter had observed that Jesus took into eonsideration the difficulty of giving up riches and detaching one's fielf .from the world, and inti- mated that some merit was due to the apostles because they had done this. In so speaking ho revealed exactly that disposition which most thorough- ly vitiates all service for Christ. The Parable seems to convey a warning to the apostles for their boasting of their timely and complete adherenCe to Christ as his first called laborers. It would teach them that the rewards of God's kingdom are not of debt, but of grace and would rebuke their desire for pre-eminence and those jealousies and rivalries which so often were ex- hibited 'while Jesus was among them. The apostles had been assured of heavenly reward, but warned that self-seeking and desire for pre-emin- ence would destroy the value of their service, which was not to be deter- mined by duration, but by their spirit and motive. Envy of the progress, the succeee or the rewards of others was beneash his chosen apostles. Im- plicit faith in God's justice and love was their proper attitude. The very fact that one man envies another his reivard is enough to convict him of self-seeking. It is an evil eye 'which Is displeased at the good of others and desires their hurt. The enVions are tormented not only by all the ill that befalls them, but by all the good that conies to another. The parable Is evidently intended as an illustra- tion and explanation of these defects as Jeans saw them in his chosen apostles. The vineyard is the king- dom of heaven from its •beginning. II. Rank according to spirituality. The parable exhibits sovereign mercy, compassion and love, bawd on the Iden oe hire' gradually recedes from view. Every idea of merit in the liter- al or worldly sense is entirely exclud- ed. The first places in the kingdorn are for thoso who are first in humility, who are willing to be servants of 'all, who recognize their sinfulness and un- worthiness. There is no room for sio- fulness and unworthiness. There is no room for sinful ambition in the kingdom of heaven. God knows as no one else can, all the circumstances, temptations, advantages and disadvan- tages which must be taken into consid- eration in the acenrate estimate of Character. Loving service excels cal- culating industry. There is no propor- tion between cartles services and hea- ven's glories. The work is for a day, the reward for eternity. The obviate and silence all boasting among the apostles, Jesus suggested the possibil- ity of tbeir failing behind others in .knowledge, grace and piety. While the call is impartial to all, colupara- tively few reach the heights and the --depths of spirituality that are con- tained in the gospel of grace. Out of the host of vineyard workers only a few, comparatively speaking, are en- trusted With large responsibilities or used in unusual service or granted re- markable success: The rewards of grace are regulated by the benefreent will of him who is debtor to no ,man, whose equality of justice can be ques- tioned by no man. God is sovereign in the exercise of his goodness. Many who are first in man's esteem are last in God's reckoning. The parable re- veals the difference of spirit among the laborers by the terms of their en- gagement. The whole was calculated to draw the apostles into the higher delights of service and away from their thoughts of reward, to show that the spirit of hirelings is incompatible with the chosen of the Lord. The par- able conteinplates a, portion only of God's dealings with His children. It was the mitror in which the apostles could see themselves and learn how to reach the Place in service that would make them worthy of the name of "chosen" apostles.-T.R.A. LUCKY CANUCK Refuses Quarter Million for New- ly -found Fertilizer. Pittshug, Tune a -a -After four years of work upon a new nitrogenous fer- tilizer that, it is said, will revolutionize the industry of agrielliture, Earl S. Bishop, ati lavestigator at the Mellen.

A SAD CASE Woman Tries Suicide With Her Babies in Detroit River, Windsor, Ont, Despatch -A sensa- tional attempt at suicide was made this afternoon by Mrs. Clara Dostel, a rather prepossessing woman, about 30 years old. With her two children In her arms, ou'e a boy of four, and a tittle girl of two, the woman leaped off the dock on the American side into the river. She made no outerY, but her aotions had been noticed by several ferry company employees, ana a moment after she struck the water William Free, an oiler on the ferry Victoria, was. swimming toward her. He succeeded in holding her up until a raft was na out. The boy clung to his mother's skirt, and was also saved, but the baby in arms was swept away. At the Detroit Sanitarium Hospital, where she was taken in an ambu- lance, Mrs. Dostel told a pitiful story of abandonment liy her husband two years ago. She had managed to ob- tain work, and was buying a little home for herself and her. children, but of late the payments had become in- creasingly hard to make, and she feared she would lose everything. Ra- ther than continue the struggle she decided to end her own life and take the little enes with her. • CLAIM VICTORY Militants Are Boasting of Success Over the Government. New York, June 29-A London cable to the Tribune says: The militant suffragettes aro boasting of a com- plete victory over the' Government. Not only are there no prosecutions against the subscribers to the mili- tants' fund, bat the headquarters in Kingway, which were raided and closed by the police a few days ago, have once more been opened, and the militants there are openly organizing their attacks on people and property. The militants say it is not alto- gether the wealth and social influence of the subscribers to the organization which lias brought about the victory over the Government. One of the strongest supporters of militancy, and one of the largest subscribers to the fund, claims to' know enough about a certain member of the Cabinet tc drive him out of public life, and she seam sha is resolved to do it if attempts to confiscate the militants' funds or close their quarters is continued.

Many faemera delay pleating until the 21st of June, the longest day. A. good crop of ptekloBiz° cucumbers equals 300 to 175 bueliels per acre, -about 300 piciace being equal to a bushel. Tue cucumber ia a trailing annual plant that is sensitive to frost. Con. sequeraly it sboulci have a rich, Wane, sandy loam sail. Land that is good for corn is about right for cocumeare. The ground sbould be ineeparee as for corn, and rows marked out 5 to 6 feet apart, each. way. Plant from 10 to 12 seed at the intersections in hills' a foot across, and firmly press down he soil. Put a shovelful of well -rotted man - aro or compost under each hill, cov- ering the immure with about two in- ,ches of earth, before planting the seed, In giving hie experience a farmer writes that one year, hexing no rote ted manure, and the land being fairly rich in humus, Ile put on a complete fertilizer, at the rate of about 400 pounds to the acre. The nitrogen was in the form et nitrate of soda. The ground mot be kept cultivated between the hills, both ways, and the soil loosened twout the plants atter .eaell robe The plents can be Gleaned out to three of the Most vigoroue ones atter they are well up, and serious danger from insect pests is past. For table use and marketing cuattra- bers should be gathered when full grown, but still green. For pickling the vines 'mist be picked over at least every other morning as long as they int rstedaifmo r lgurneNeyree d c, tune urniipbeenr 1! eed, cairiecunwiab the vines will begin to die, but if the cucumbers aro kept picked off the vines will continue bearing for a long time. The enemies of the cucumber are leaf glaze, downy mildew, scab, Mena rot, striped beetle, spotted beetle, pickle worm, melon caterpillar, squash bug, squash borer, four -lived bug and flea beetle. No fungicide has yet been discover - that is very effective in this disease. The fruits are deformed, and the leaves tura yellow and die. A white polished film can be noticed on the underside of the diseased leaves. Downy mildew may be controlled by spraying every 10 clays with Bordeaux mixture (114 formula). In this dis- ease there are yellow, irregular spots on the leaves, which soon become en- tirely covered and Shrivel up. Scab appears in the leaves as semi- transparent water spots, and the fol- iage soon wilts and. decays. Spray with e standard insecticide as soon as the cleseaeo is noticed. Stem rot can be checked by prompt ly zeemovint . end destroying all affect- ed plant" Stem rot may be known bY dense white mats of gungous felt at the Waits of the stem, which shrinks and turn.; yellow. The striped and the spotted cucum ber beetles may be dealt with a dust' ing of green ansenite. The cucumbers at the same time should be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture (1-10 formu- la). A full grown pickle worm is some- what less than an inch in length, and is of a uniform green color, slightly tinged with yellow. It is advised to Plant squash around cucumber fields, as well as hero and there in the field, as a sort of trap crop, where they will congregate and may be killed. All the old vines and rubbish should be raked up and burned. The trap crop should be sprayed with arsenical posions. The melon caterpillar Is of a white color, with a border of brown or black. It feeds on the leaves, and the first brood may be killed by spraying with arsenial poisons. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. • At this time of the year many in- quiries come in concerning small "green bugs" on a great variety of plants, shode trees, flowers, garden truck. etc. These are aphides, com- monly coiled "plane lice," Since they are sucking iaseats, ther are to be con- trolled by a contact spray enesome sort. For this purpose kerosene emulsion, common soap aeiution, whale oil soap solution, or tobacco extract may be Used. Kerosene emulsion, diluted 1 part to 10 with water, is effective, but EO otten is not property made, and Injury is apt to result to the foliage. Common soap solution may be made by dissolving laundry soap in water at the race et one pound of soap to 4 or 5 gallons of water. • Male oil soap solution -the potash. soap being the best -is made by dis- solving one pound of soap in 5 or 6 gallons of water. Some kinds may be used even one pound to 8 gallons. Tobacco extracts may be home made or of the eommercial preparation. Small amounts may be made for use by steeping one pound tobacco leaves in A4noyr 052 gallons01above w ar.spraysshould be applied thoroughly, care being- taken to get the spray into any of the curled leaves and onto the aphides so as to wet them thoroughly. The manner of application of the spray will depend upon the size of the plant to bo spray- ed, ane upon the nature of the plant, whether tree, vine, low crops of the garden, flowering plants or house plants. • The Ontario experlinent station says that it costs close to $5 to grow a pig to six weeks of age, counting cost of shTmnaendg great oftevdanfttaedie from growing legumes is their Marmite° upon the soil.
