COULD NOT SLEEP
Nerves Were So Bad. ,
To the thousands of people who are
tossing on sleepless beds night after night,
and to whose eyes sleep will not come,
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills offer
the blessing of sound, refreshing slumber,
because they restore the equilibrium of
the deranged nerve centres, thus restor-
ing strength and vitality to the whole
system.
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."
Milburn's Heart end Nerve Pills are
50 cents per box, 3 boxes for 11.25;. at all
dealers or mailed direct on receipt of

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.

How They Help
ST. RAPHAEL, ONT.
Four years ago I had such pains in my'
back that I could not work. The pains ex-
tended to my arms, sides and shoulders. I:
used many kinds of medicine for over a year,
none of which did me very much good. I
read about Gin Pills and sent for a sample and
used them, and found the pains were leaving -
me and that i was feeling better. So I bought

RECLAIMING OLD ORCHARDS.
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.

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:

That tree is now bearing eight to
ten barrels of apples. A rich 'return
surely for that farmer's labor. A gov-
ernment publication gives these fig-
ures, carefully compiled, for the 6ret
year's reclamation work:
