crops in which it is growing should
be cut not later than tbe last week in

Young quack grass plaints, attack

ground stems, are as easily killed as
plants of wheat or other grains of
the same age.

yation of the crop,
Digging by hand and removing
from the field all portions of the
plant, smothering with tar paper and
spaying with a solution of sodium
arsenite are best for the complete
eradication of quack grass on small
spots.
All methods of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage,
The implements found on any well
eq`aljapedfarm are all that are need-
ed to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallow me-
thod of eradication was plowing in
July three or four inches deep, re•
plowing not later than Aug. 15 five
or six inches deep, -and again in No•
vember six or seven inches deep. The
disk was used as needed between
plowings to keep the quack grass
from showing green above ground.
The cost of theadditional labor ne-
cessary for complete eradication.
under this system was $9.00 per acre.
No crop was secured from the land
that season.
Complete eradication of quack
grass while following a system of
crop rotation was found practical
when more than the ordinary amount
of tillage was given.
Tillage given now and then . when
nothing else needs immediate atten-
tion is largely lost effort in the eradis
cation of quack grass. To be effec-
tive there must be a well planned and
carefully carried out campaign with
which' other work i not allowed to
interfere, Tillage operations should
injure the quack grass as much as
possible and should be repeated
otten enough to, make effective 'the
work that has preceded.

THE ` INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Acts xi, 19.26; xiii,
1.12—Memory Verses, xiii, 2, 3.
Golden Text, -Matt. xxviii, 19 -Com•
mentary Prepared by Rev. D. M.
Stearns.
Before the Lord Josus visibly ascend-
ed to heaven after• He had appeared
many times to His disciples during
those forty days between Elis':resur-
rection a!ed ascension and spokeso
often of the things pertaining to the
kingdom of God FIe commanded His
disciples to go and teach all nations
wbat He had taugbt them; to go .auto
all 'tbe world and preach the gospel to
every creature; to proclaim repeutahee
and remission of sins in His name
among all nations. And He sent them.
as the. Father had sent Him, in the
power of the Holy Spirit that people
might believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God, and, believing; have
life through His name (Acts 1. 1-3;
Matt. xxviil, 19, . 20; Mare xs i, 15;
Luke =iv, 47; John xx, 21, 31).
The disciples were slow to obey this
command, and the Lord permitted
Steplieu to be killed, a persecution of
the saints to follow, and the believers
thus scattered abroad went every-
where preaching the word. but only
to the Jews. Some went as far as
Antioch, and everywhere they preach-
ed the Lord Jesus, and the hand of the
Lord being with them a great number
believed and turned unto the Lord
(verses 19.21). Di the Chapters which
we have already studied in this book
of the Acts of a' risen and ascended
Christ tbrougb His witnesses we have
seen how Peter and lobo and Stephen
and Philip and Paul, and now these
scattered abroad ones all have the
same topic -namely, Jesus Christ cru-
cified, risen. ascended and returning to
set up His kingdom. And as they thus
speak of Elim the Spirit inclines many
to turn to I•tim, and they become join-
ed to or added to the Lord. Thus His
body, tbe eburcl, began to grow, as
the word of God grew and multiplied
(xii, 24). The one only calling of the
believer is to proclaim Jesus Christ
and win people to Rim, that His Eve
may be braided and the marriage of
the Lamb come, for only after that
will His kingdom come.
If denominations and societies and
the se called boards could sink their
self seeking and see and seek- Jesus
only and His kingdom so much more
might they see of His good hand upon
them.
When the brethren at Jerusalem
heard of the good worts at Antioch
they sent Barnabas; true sou of conso-
lation, Tull of the Holy Ghost and of
faith, and when be eame and saw
wbat the grace Of God bad done he
was glad. The grace 06 out Lord Jesus
Christ is briefly but fully set forth in
II Cor. viii, 0, wbich with Rome 111, 24;
Epb. 11, 8, 0; Tit. 11, 11; Ili, 4-7, and
other passages teach us that the bene•
tits of the finished work of Jesus Christ
are for Jew and gentile alike, without
exception, and that Without any works
of ours or any merit whatever on our
part, any and every sinner truly re-
ceiving Jesus Christ becomes a part
of Rim, has in him eternal redemption
and cony become a messsenger to wi.0
others to Film.
Barnabas and Saul. having been sent
twelve apostles nor one of the commit-
tee of seven, but just a Levite of the
country of Cyprus, who became a true
believer and handed himself and his
possessions honestly over to the Lord
for 'Elie services (Acts iv, 36, 37). It is
not necessary to be on the board or on
the committee nor elder or a deacon
or a trustee, but it is necessary to be
savedby grace and thea to be in His
hand for His pleasure, seeing uo one
but Jesus only. So Barnabas exhorted
the believers to cleave unto the Lord
with purpose of heart (verses 22-24),
and much people was added unto the
Lord. May we see Jesus only and
sing, "Ever, only, all for Tbee." The
last we heard of Saul was that he had
returned to Tateps (Chapter ix, 27.30),
but Barnabas evidently has him much
on iris heart, for he, went to Tarsus and
found him and brought aim to Antioch
and for a Whole year taught the believ-
ers there more fully of Jesus Christ
(verse! 25, 26). Either as a term of
•
honor or reproach believers were first
Nis Flee Was Covered called Christians at Antioch. The af-
fix 'ian" may signify nothing more
than "belonging to," but I like the sug-
gestion of• some one that a Christian is
one who can truly say, "Christ is all,"
and, as the letters of the ,affix suggest,
"1 am nothing."
Barnabas and Saul, having been sent
to Jerusalem with an offering from the
saints at Antioch, in due time returned
and continued to minister to the Lord
there (chapter's xi, 27-30; sir, 25; xfii,
13). As they thus eontinned tbe I3oly
Ghost called for the separation of Bar-
nabas and Saul for a special work to
which He had called them. So with
fasting and prayer and laying on of
hands they were sent forth by the Holy
Ghost and preached the word of 'Cod
at Salamis, in Cyprus. Saul had, no
doubt, been a good witness at Tarsus,
and now Barnabas has a like privilege
in his native island, Note that soba
Mark sister's son to Barnabas was
with them (verse 5; Col. 4-10). Tlie
principal thing to not is that all was
under the control of the Holy Spirit
(verses 2, 9, 9), always the director in
all that is truly the work of the Lord.
All true miuistry must be mrto the
Lord, to glorify Him (I Pet. iv, 11).

With Pimples.
Pimples are not a serious trouble, but
they are very unsightly.
Pimples are caused wholly by bad
blood, and to get rid of them it is neces-
sary to purify the blood of all its im-
purities.
Burdock Blood Bitters has made many
remarkable ewes; the pimples have all
disappeared, and a bright, clean, coM-
plesion left behind.
Mr. Lennox D. Cooke, Indian Path,
NS., writes; "I am writing you a few
lines to tell you what Burdock. Blood
Bitters has done for me. Last winter my
face was covered with pimples. I tried
different kinds of medicine, and all
seemed to fail. I was one day to a
friend's house, and there they advised me
to use B.B.B., so I purchased two bottles,
and before I had them taken I found I
was getting better. I got two more,
and when they were finagled I was
completely cured. I find it is a great
blood purifier, and I recommend it to all.",
