Mr. Arthur McCutcheon, Mt. Pisgah, N.B., writes: "I have been much trouble ad with my nerves, and could not sleep for hours after I would go to bed. I would toss and turn from one side to the otrerlbefore I could go to sleep. I would then wake up in the night, and lie awake a long time before I would get to sleep again. .I thought I would try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, as they were recommended so highly. I now.get to sleep without any trouble; my nerves seem quieted, and when I lie down I go to sleep quickly. Anyone who is both- ered with their nerves should Veep a box on hand."

But convention is stronger than the primal impulses -sometimes it tri- umphs over death itself -and conven- tion was all powerful now.

Memory Verses, 33, 34 -Golden, Text, Acts xvi, 31 --Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. se. Stearns. in verses 1.6-18" of our lesson chapter wereadof anevil spirit possessing a' woman who, as she followed Paul and his friends, dried out, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who show unto us Che way of salva- tion." She continued to iso Ibis racily days, but Paul, being grieved' by even so . good and true a testimony frinn such a source and knowing her to be controlled by an evil spirit, command- ed the spirit to comeout of her in the num a of Jesus Christ, and he did. It was certainly strange to hear such a testimony from such a source, but an evil spirit in the synagogue at Caper- nanm one day when Jesus was pres- ent cried out, "I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God!" Ansi .'esus commanded the spirit to come out of the man (Mark i, 23-20). Truth may be talked withoutbeing kuown in the heart, but the Lord reads the heart and does not want testimony from His enemies. Knowing the truth about the Lord Jesus does not save any one, yet it may be that many think tboy are saved because they be- lieve that Jesus lived and died and rose again and that He is the Son of God. But it is he that bath the Son of God that heti) life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Only2). such as receive Him become children of God (I John v, 12; John 1, 1 When those who employed this wo- man and made money by her saw that this source of income was taken from them they incited a riot against Paul and Silas and had them beaten and cast into prison, and the jailer, having received a charge to keep them safely, put them in the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks (verses 19.24). There are some things right on the surface of this record, and one is tbat people are apt to grow very angry if they are making money wrongfully and their business is inter- fered with. Compare the slot of the silversmiths at Ephesus in chapter xix, and then think of the opposition of the liquor dealers and all who dis- honor Jesus Christ to the work and teaching of Rev. William Sunday and all tree evangelists; also the opposi- tion of those who profit by graft to those who desire righteousness. Then notice that if you won't let the devil help you he will take pains to show you hots he can hate you and persecute you. Compare In Ezra iv, 1-0, the decided opposition of those who were not permitted to help in the work. There are still those who are ready to help in many is good work if they may belong to the devil while they do it. But if asked to renounce the devil and to receive the Lord Je- sus and put their trust in Ilis great sacrifice as the Son of God, then one is apt to witness the enmity of the carnal mind against God. Iiow grand was the victory of faith in these men of God, who, with sore and bleeding backs and feet in the stocks, could praise the God whose they were and whom they served and talk with Elim in heaven from their prison! Not only did the other prison- ers bear them praising God, but they were heard In heaven, and suddenly the earth was shaken, and the prison, too; prison doors were opened and ev- ery one's bonds loosed (verses 25, 26). 011, how great and wonderful is our God, the God of Israel, who Duly doest wonders! (Ps. Izxii, 18, 19.) As some one has said, these men had not influ- ence enough on earth at Philippi to save them from this shameful treat- ment (I Thess. B., 2) and from prison, but they had influence enonglr in heaven to shake the earth. It was midnight when they prayed and sang praises, but the God of Israel neither lumbers nor sleeps; He watches over /xis people night and day (Ps exxi, 4; Isa. xxvif, 3). Not only was the prison shaken, but the keeper was so shaken when he aw the prison doers open tbat be would have killed himself if Paul had lot cried out, "Do thyself no harm, or we are all here!" He was shaken deep down in bis soul, too, for, falling own trembling -before Paul and Silas; e brought tbem out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Then did Paul at this unexpected midnight service speak to him and to his house the word of the Lord, and they be- lieved -that is, they received the Lord Jesus Christ -and, being saved, they confessed Christ in baptism and were all filled with rejoicing. The second sailed household at PLilippi (verses 14, 15, 27-34). Reading of saved households, I al- ways think of the Lord's word to Noah, "Come thou and all thy house," and,I find great encouragement to be- lieve that the Lord still loves to save households. It would seem that be- fore the baptism those poor scarred backs were made more comfortable, andthen what a love feast they utast have had in the jailer's house, and what joy there was in heaven as well as on earth! Next morning those who had imprisoned the apostles wanted to let them go privily, hut Paul insisted upon a . public acquittal, which was granted them. and after a call upon Lydia they departed.

Neglected -Apple Trees Can Be Brought Back to Vigorous Growth. The reclamation of neglected fruit trees is a 'emblem which many farm- ers bare to face• especially those who have recently moved to a new home- stead or have come from the city to take up farming 11'fe, However small the place and modest its farming pre- tensions all apple orchard will usually be fonesi somewhere. The question to be settled immediately will be whether the trees are worth saving of whether the tamer will be justified in stripping them to make place for potatoes or cable:ens. To arrive at tt businesslike solution of this question the (deuces of suc- cessful reclamation, its probable cost nnnoBNED AYPLn TIMM. anis the returns to be expected from a rehabilitated orchard must be intelli- gently considered. First of all, it should be said that the methods here to be described are hardly worth while from the economic point of view unless as much as one acro or say thirty trees are to be worked over. They are, however, equally applicable. of course, to n few (tees, or even ono if because of its character or ussociations the country dweller would save it at any cost. What cnn be done to make old, aeg- lected, unsightly, useless trees rigor- ous and productive is surprising. One ambitious farmer by whom a straggly. unkempt apple orchard of twelve acres had been grudgingly taken over in the purchase of a snail suburban farm was well advised to spare the ax. He applied modern scientific methods in- stead. Within five years a small yield of almost useless fruit had beeu mul- tiplied by ten, and the output was an apple of the highest grade. First the likelihood of success is de- termined by the original suitability of the site and the soil of the orchard- one will assume them passable -and 1110 surviving vigor of the trees. Age is not such a greet factor. Ordivarily cue would go slow about beginning work on a tree more than forty or fifty years old, but truly remarkable results bare recently been obtained with 50011 trees to which was left a fair share of vigor. As for tete cost, this can be made surprisingly low, for most of the op- erations involved may be performed by the most ordinary labor. Thirty dole lars a year per acre is a fair allow- ance. The actual task of making over an abandoned orchard is usually divided into four principal parts: Pruning, fer- tilizing, cultivating and spraying. To these are sometimes added surgery and tlliuriing. As regards the cost some very illU- minating figures have, recently been presented by individuals and in United States government reports. The expenditure per tree has been put variously between $1 and $5. One apparently safe estimate is based on the experience of a farmer in New York state. He "restored" a forty - year -old, high topped, scale infected and otherwise neglected Baldwin ap- ple tree. And here is what he said' it cost him to do it: Spraying material A.pplring same Hast Pruning and surgery. 76 Cultivation and fertilizing75 Total $341 That tree is now bearing eight to ten barrels of apples. A rich 'return surely for that farmer's labor.
