An Opportunity for the Small Investor The 011 Fields of Texas and Olda- homa have possibly enriched more people than any other discovery of modern times.

During the four years I spent in the Peace River country I watched the oil development in all its stages. Right wells have already been drilled in and near Peace River Town. Every well has brought in oil—not one well has been drilled dry, Pay oil has been discovered lu at least five of the wells drilled, a record seldom attained In any new oil field =Able continent. That alt would be discovered in Peace River was predicted by,George Dawson, Canada's most eminent geologist, over thirty years ago. During the past five years a score of the world's best known geologists and oil experts have visited Peace River, and in every Instance these men of science endorsed the prophecy of Slr George Dawson of long ago. A. valuable by-product of the oil fields of Peace River is wet gas, from which, by simple process, gasoline is extracted. Prom three to tee million feet of wet gas belches from the wells already drilled into the gas stratum. Avery man who has visited the wells at Peace River knows that oll is there, became) he has seen it; but the wealth of the earth, be It gold, sliver or oil, is of no value unless money is efficiently spent for its development.

The Coming of the Spirit. "Pentecost" was the fiftieth day, reckoned front the second day of the Passover feast. It came at the com- pletion of seven weeks from the Pass- over Sabbath, and so about the end of harvest time in Palestine. The Jewish feast of Pentecost was called the "Feast of Weeks" (Lev. 23; 12-16, Num. 28: 26). Then the first fruits of the harvest were offered to God, am so the early Christians saw in this Pentecost baptism with the resultant conversion of many souls the first fruits of the Gospel harvest which wat- ultiniately to bring both Jews and Gentiles into the Kingdom of God. "All together." The reference is to the one hundred and twenty disciples mentioned in 1: 16. The time of meet- ing was the early morning. Peter be- gun his sermon at "the third hour of the day," that -is about nine o'clock. "A mighty wind." It was not wind and it was not fire, but what happened is compared to "the rushing of a mighty wind," and to "fire." It was a profound apiritual experience, a reality, therefore, of the highest order, and the effect upon the com- pany of disciples was suoh that they could only describe it as wind and fire. It was a tempest of emotion, exalting them with such joy and con- fidence of faith that they broke out into exellmations of praise mid pray- er. Above all was the consciousness of power, born of the conviction that Jesus their Master and Lord was with them in hiring reality, a spiritual presence, in fulfilment of His own promise. "Dwelling at Jerusalem .Jews." Jews, at that time, were widely scat- tered throughout the world, but were accustomed to come up to Jerusalem from time to time either for purposes of business or to attend the annual festivals. They were nearly all ae- (painted with the Aramaic language, so that it was not ?daffy necessary to speak to there in different languages. Peter's sermen was no doubt delivered in Aramaic. 14-36. Peter's Sermon. "Peter . . lifted up his voice," Peter who had eeeently denied his .Master with oaths Is pow foremost to confess Him. Some mighty convincing power must have wrought this transformation. So it was with the other disciples. There are now no doubters among them,All believe that Jesus lives and that He is with them, and are fitted with cour- age and with boldness to speak for Him. Peter begins by declaring that this is the experience spoken of and pre- dicted by the prophet Joel (2: 28-31). It is the pouring forth of the Spirit of God. Compare also Haft. 36: 27. The effect of this coming of the Spirit upon ,men is that "they shall pro- phesy" (v, 18), that is, that they shall speak with inspired utterance of the things of God, and that is no doubt what all the disciples upon whom had come the gift of tongues were doing. Peter proceeds to declare (vs. 22-36) that Jesus, who had done such mighty' svorka aniong them had crucified, was risen from the dead,' was exalted to "the right hand of God," and was assuredly the Saviourl long foretold by Israel'prophets aud long and fervently expected, the Mes- siah, "both Lord and Christ." He quotes the sixteenth Psalm in which is expressed the hope of deliverance from the grave and declares at fulfilled in the resurrection of Jesus. Of that resurrection he says, "We all are witnesses." It is by the evi- dence of such witnesses that the facts of history ate established. Moreover, he declares, it is the Christ exalted to heaven who has "poured forth this, which ye see and hear." Again he quotes Psalm 110, in which there is a prediction of the victories of the com- ing 1Vtessianie king and in which He is represented as holding a unique re- lationship to God. 37-47.

For a farmer who wants three trees of the Northern dSpy apple and knows just what he %mtg. to find after j buying and caring for the trees, that I they are St. Lawrence, is the thing that we want to avoid if possible. It may not be possible to avoid entirely such results, but since nearly ail of the mistakes are due to cArelestiess the desired end may be quite closely approached. One should know his nurseryman. That is the secret of true -to -name stuff, I believe. At home we bought a good bit -of stock every spring for our otvn use and considerable for our neighbors. We have bought of three different nurserymen. The first one seemed right until a visit to the nur- sery showed a very careless system of handling' the stock when shipping. I thinlc that two neighbors found that ithey got trees that were not true to name. We quit that firm at once. The other inc was too far awayrthough the stock was good and was grown as far north as our own latitude. This is worth wild() considering, too. Now for a good many years we have dealt with a nursery in our own district and when possible we drive to the nur- sery and get the stock the same day that we are ready for it. The drying out of the roots on a small tree is something that tends to cause loses of the trees after planting. Every care should be used to keep the roots damp all the time that the tree is out of the ground. This nursery uses every precaution to see that the trees are true to name. One ean't always get just the variety he wants but that is another reason to think that what we do get is right. I know of a firm where you tan always get just the variety of any fruit you want. If they don't have it the label is changed to suit your wants. If you have a kielt after the trees bear, you 'probably (2) got the stock mixed after getting it home! Very plausible but it don't give one the tree that you have waited for so long. If then is a fruit Mall in your neighborhood get him to order for you. The trees will cost you as much if yon buy direct because. mirs- erymen get a better price than a regu- tar buyer, since they buy more goods. More than that, the fruit man knows varieties and if a certain kind is not in stock he eon replace with some- thing that has the same charneteris- tics as the ono wanted, and so gener- ally satisfy you. The regular agent who sells trees is not usually acquainted with the business only from a selling point. He can mix varieties though probably unknowingly and get your order mix- ed as easily as any other green buyer. More than that, the profits that he takes aro out of reason and we ean't afford to give money nwity far fun to aeybody. Order direct from the eursery that sells direct from a cata- logue, or from a neighbor who makes it his business to know the line he 1 bandies. Either way bents the agency proposition, It also .sae' a geed bit Resting and Rnsting. "I'll do anything once," is a more or less familiar expressfan, supposed to indicate a venturesome state of inind.

When night came I was a pretty tired man. I would per. haps doze for an hour or more over a newspaper and then seek an early . bed. After I had 'acquired my shop I started in to do a little tinkering. The after -supper period was the time I chosefor it. No one could have been more surprised than myself when / began to enjoy the thing. The first piece of work I turned out was a portable chicken -coop. Its ar- chitectural lines were not very true and rhe workmanship was crude, but it held chickens. I was very proud of that coop. Although I did not have in me the making of much of a mechanic, I developed a certain rough skill in the use of the tools, which held my interest. The little wagon I made for the youngest member of . the family was certainly a -success, judged from the pleasure it gave him, despite the fact that the hind wheels were wobbly. I tried my hand at a variety of articles of a utilitarian or suppcsed ornamen- tal nature, and while I could not point with pride to all of them, I struck It fair average of amateur achievement. But this was all secondary to the entertainment I got out of it. It Sat- isfied an instinct to create, and took my mind for the time being off the small vexations of my regular occupa- tion. Any kind of an innocent hobby is a good tonic. Mine brightened me up. I could read my . paper with greater satisfaction, and I became more com- panionable to my family. No attempt was made to reduce my shopwork to any routine. One of the fine features of it was that I could go in and pound. and saw to my heart's delight, or I could leave the shop alone, just as I happened to feel about the matter. There were very few days though, that I failed to take a little of this form of rest, I ran imagine notking more interest- ing than farm work, but if You don't have some diversion 'always at hand to get you out of the routine your mind runs along in the same old rut. You get stale and your brain becomes cobwebby. You are happier and more rentable through having a little play - spell every now .and then. T would not recommend a shop to everyone. What is good for roe might not be best for the other fellow, though I believe there is something universally human in the use of toole„ htTi3h4n, of my argument is that a x. secondary interest of some kind, 19 an element of physical and mental health. If you do not have some ready means for taking your mind off your work, you keep thinking about the work, subconsciously or otherwise, with the result that in -stead of resting you are often just rusting. flake Mother's Work Easy. Women have some big problems to solve. A little arithmetic, for example, has shown that one woman took e56,- 000 needless steps every year, all be- cause of the inconvenient arrangement of her kitchen appliances. Probably the rest of her house was as poorly arranged as her kitchen, giv,ing her at least an additional 256,000 needlostO steps. This meant 612,000 steps, or approximately two 'hundred metes,' tramped off annually in the daily round. Perhaps this was an excep4 tional case, but ,proper arrangement is one of the big problems to be solved in each indivklual home, • At thiS season of the year changes in the interior arrangement of the house may be easily planned and car- ried out. The time and energy saved, to the housewife will mean increased efficiency and improved health. Buy Thrift Stamps, Left -ret' cereals can be used in griddle cakes.
