An Opportunity for the Small Investor
The 011 Fields of Texas and Olda-

than any other discovery of modern
times. Opportunities were offered the
public who were nat in a pesition to make
large investments, but many of Whom
have since become independently rich
from 'the profits of their original small
investmente.

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.
I believed the geologists and oil experts of this continent when they said that by drilling deeper into the oil sands at Peace

Peter Preaches at Peniecost—Acis 2;
11, 22-24, 32.42. Golden
Text, Acts 2; 21,
1-13. 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.

Buying Your Nursery Stock.
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

or less familiar expressfan, supposed
to indicate a venturesome state of

, 1 It had been my custom to put in a commons.pleasureout of playing ball on the
' faithful day in the routine work of the
I
farm, without much thought to any-
thing else. 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.
