and looked at the author's portrait. He
was a dark man with a thoughtful face,
a gentle, rather wistful expression, and
eyes that seemed to see his own en-
chanted world. Alice had a nature cap-
able of tremendous hero-worshic, and
Maxwell French was the gold of her id-
olatry. To the unconcealed relief of
Sarah, Maxwell French was punctual
next day. When he entered the room,
and Alice, almost holding her breath,
looked at him with eager interest, her
first sensation was a shock of disillus-
ionment. A girl thinks much of appear-

Sarah, before the author took her in

bowed with polite indifference, and
again the girl was conscious of disap-
pointment.

To meet in private life a celebrity
whom one has admired from afar is in
many cases to court disappointment;
but to Alice Durant every moment she
spent with Maxwell French strengthen-

her society frequently, and he talked
to her more freely than to any one else.

I. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to
Preaoh the Weril (vv. 5-8).
• We have here a lesson on divine
guidance. The inclination of Paul
and ids computhons was to tarry in
the provinces of Asia preaching the
word, but contrary to their inclination
they., were hurried' long.aThey might
have reasoned "W'hat difference would
it make as to wherc3 we preach, just
so the Gospel fs• preached?" Though
seemingly small, the, question as to
whether the Gospel should be
prea'ehed among the people in the
Base or •1,6' -the \Vast has determined
the entire hlatory..ot the church. Had
they preached einong the people in
the East, CIhristianity would never
have become worldwide. On the other
hand, by laying hold upon the Grecian
intellect and combining with it the
push and energy of the Romans, it
became worldwide. In the guidance
of the Spirit we find Him just as ac-
tive and as fait in closing doors
as in opening them. "The stops as
well as the steps of a good man are
ordered of the Lord." We ought to
as truly recognize God's hand In the
"shut-ins" as well as in the "open -
oats."
11. Called to elacedonia (vv. 9-12).
A visloct was given to Paul of a man
from Macedonia pleading for help.
This was the solution of the mystery
of closed doors about thein. There is
a negative and a positive side to the
Spirit's guidanco. If we will note
both we shall be able to determine
with a surety the proper course of ac-
tion. In order to be led aright we
must be sure that we are wilting to
be led, pray definitely for leading, and
then render willing obedience as fast
as the light comes. As soon as the
divine way was known they rendered
immediate obedience.
111. The First Convert in Europe
(vv. 13-15).
The missionaries went to Philippi.
The Jewish element in this city was
very insignificant; so much so that
they could not afford a synagogue;
therefore the devout people were ac-
customed to worship at the river side.
To this humble gathering Per came
and preached to the women gathered
there. A certain vomanNfrom Thy -
Rare believed Ms message, and was
baptized. Lydia was a woman of
wealth, culture, alai wide experience,
and yet she had need of Ohirst. The
steps in Lydia's conversion are worthy
of note:
1. Attendance at the place of prayer
(v. 18). This ls the case with most
people who aro saved.
2. Listened to tbe preaching of the
word -of God (vv. 12-14). The instru-
ment need by the Holy Spirit in the
conversion of sinners is the word of
God. "Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by- the word of God" (Rom.
10 :17).
8. Her heart was opened by the
Lord (v. 14). Regeneration is a su-
pernatural work. When the Gospel
Is preached the Srdrit of God makes
it living and active, opening the sin-
ner's heart for the reception of Christ.
4. She was baptized (v. 15). It is
natural for the one who believes In
Christ to desire to be baptized.
5. Her household also believed
(v. 15). -Thus we see that her's was
a typical conversion.
IV, A Spirit of Divination Cast Out
(vv. 16-18).
As the missionaries wont out from
day to day to Um lace of prayer they
were accosted bs• a young woman pos-
sessed by a spirit of divination, She
was owned by Et s3rndicate of men who
derived large gains from her sooth-
saying. This act of the woman be-
came a great annoyance to Paid. who,
in the name of Jesus Christ, com-
manded the e.cil spirit to come out.
Here is a case of a spiritual medinm.
a fortune-teller, being freed from de-
moniacal possession. Many inen to-
day are making nioney by the degra-
dation of womanhood, and they resent
all efforts to destroy their infernal
business, even try to destroy those
who interefere \171t11 their business.
Here as everywhere Satan blocks the
way as the Gospel of Christ is car-
ried into new fields, but the Lord 15

ten bushels will be a high average.
Soil, rainfall and the degree of cultiva-

the result, but there are many local
causes such as the prevalent direction

insect pests that do much to render the

cent experience as coming within the
classification of semi -arid areas. Pro-

a day, but ultimately the prosperity, of
a great region with remarkably fertile

the land of the running water that has
its source'on the eastern slopes of the

It is still too soon to speak with any
degree of certainty as to the proable
out turn of the harvest. There are 17,-
493,000 acres seeded to wheat in the
three Prairie Provinces, It is estimated
that the crop will be about fifteen per
cent. better than that of last season
when the West harvested 233,000,000
bushels a considerable shrinkage. as
compared with earlier estimates of over
three hundred millions, but still a very
good yield, and one likely under pre-
sent world conditions to prove fairly
profitable. The Canadian spring wheat
harvest will be at least forty million
bushels greater than that of the United
States and our neighbors to the South

The West rejoices in copious

It was feared that the scorching
heat would ripen wheat premature-

some portions of Southern Alberta
and Saskatchewan irremediable dam-
age was done, but over the greater part
of the country the rains and cool wea-

certain that the crop would mature nor-

CITIZENS of Ontario -The only salvation for
Ontario's revenue-producing forests is the preven-
tion of forest fires. Your support and co -opera -
,tion is absolutely essential.
Forest fires are rapidly diminishing our re-
sources of timber and pulpwood. Over 90 percent.
of Ontario!s forest fires are caused by human
carelessness.
If everybody was careful to prevent the start
of fire, Ontario's Forest would be safe.
Save Ontario's Forests
They're yours
ROSINESS MEN of
Ontario - Lend us a
hand. The various busi-
ness associations -
of bankers, boards of
trade, manufacturers,
merchants, lumbermen;
engineers, educationalists, tourists, and sports-
men, and all other bodies of weight and influ-
ence, can do a great work for this province and
for their own interests as well by actively pro-
moting educational propaganda to reduce forest
firea.
RAILWAY OFFICIALS can help. Railways
cause 40% of Ontario's Forest fires. !The
Forestry Branch is being well supported by
improved co-operatiton on the part of railway
officials and by the Dominion Railway Board.
Let us reduce the 'number of railway fires one-
half this summer. (The train passenger in
Northern Ontario tiv'ho nonchalantly throws his
cigarette or cigar out of the window during the
forest fire season is deserving of a jail sen-
tence!) '
CAMPERS, tourists, fishermen, pielmickers,
berry pickers, prospectors and hunters shOuld
Ontario Forestry Branch
feel their responsibility even though out of
sight of the policeman.
SETTLERS can co-operate by exercising
more care in setting out fire on their own pro-
perty,
LUMBER FIRMS can help by impressing on
all foremen the need for carefulness, River -
drivers in dry seasons should be specially
warned. Gangs of men going in and out to
the camps need special atteation, because of
the danger along the slash -lined trails from
the inevitable cigarette.
THE PRESS could do more public-spirited
constructive work to reduce forest fires than
any other single agency. This is a noil-pq11-
Veal campaign in which the Whole press could
join.
LEADERS OF PUBLIC OPINION in every
community should be the first las extend a
helping hand. Tell the Chief Ranger or write
.the Head Office any time you have information
or suggestions to unpart, or questions to ask.
