INTRODUCTION -The- council at .Ter-
usaleni cleared the air, and the way
now lay open for Paul, to make fur-,
ther adventures in missionary work.
But at the, outset there arises a dicier
,once, or "sharp contention," Acts 14:
89. ' The iinmediate cause was the un-
willingness of.Paul to take Mark who
had turned back during,the first-j_our-
nay but it is possible\that behind' this
i lay some further reason, and that Paul

I. THE. VISION AT ewes, 9-11.- _
V. 9. At this time Macedonia Was to New Role
an e]ftensive , province including not
only,Macedonia-but Thessabr,,Illyri-
cern and Greece. ;The, vision which
,Paul receives at Trees was one of the
ways in which -he obtained divine di-
' rection for 'his future;actions, and he
now gets, an explanation of the many
hindrances'which-had been placed in
his attempts to` gd elsewhere. ' There
comes over him a great feeling of re-
lief as he-realizes'that his plans are
made clear, and'that he is now to seek
a new scene for his labors in Mace-
donia It was the peace which' all
people' feel who have been confused
as to their duties and plans and sud-
- denly have all things made .clear_ to
them.

II. A CHUUCIi- 9y THE RIVERSIDE, 12-15.
V. 12. Paul carries on a mission in
three : different, cities, and most effec-
tually iu Philinpi. This city had been
founded by Philipthe great king" of
Macedonia on the banks of the river
• Gangitis. The surrounding plain was
fertile and'the neighborhood was rich
• in minerals. Here also wassa military
settlement or colony,_ consisting of dis-
handed soldiers to whom grants of
land had been made, and who would
inspire the native population with res-
pect for the rule of the Empire. *Pail
being, Himself a Romancitizen seas
specially fitted to bring this new gos-
pel of Christ to this class oe people,
and we knoW from the letter he *rete
to this church how 'well, he succeeded
in winning the affection of'the.•people.
P.-13. The Jeivs hero were evidently
sew in number and were unable to
have a synagogue for their worship,
se that the small number of Jews had
' to be content with an outdoor place'of
-vcorehip, which they chose near the
river for, the sake of those lustrations
which formed -part of the service. The
audience consisted mostly of women
who welcomed Paul when he cane, ae ►�+
was his custom to the lace where The e asterBoxer
his own ,people
worshipped.' One of
these women was a remarkable char-
acter. It would seem as if she was
conducting a business in her own.
naiiie. Lydia- was a city in Asia
Minor famed for the manufacture of
purple .dye. Inscriptions have 'been
discovered in which mention is made
of aguiid of purple selers. It is probe.
able that this .woman took her :mine
froip this city, and thatshe represent-
ed some firm from Lydia. She had
• evidently joined the Jewish Church,
and. had become a leading member. It
was to be expected that one of her
open mind would be the first to wel='
4dnie the message of Paul. This Is
beautifully describedin v. 15, "Whose,

Snake Island, Lake Simcoe, a sec-
tion of the Ojibway Indian reserve,
is for sale. Located about ten miles
south of Georgina Island, the head-
quarters of the Ojlbways, and two
miles off Lake Simcoe's eastern
shore, it consists of 328 acres of
heavily woodedand fertile land.
No longer do the Ojibway Indians
mead it for their own use. They have
surrendered it to the Government„
which is now attempting to sell it for
them.. The sale price, which will
likely be around $250,000, will be ad-
ded to the Iadian reserve fund for the
maintenance and care of the_jibway
tribe.

Farm Notes
INTERNAL .PARASIT'ES OF
SWINE
Unthriftiness in pigs is often due
to infestation of into sial- parasites.
In the latest edition of the bulletin
"Swine Husbandry in Ccapada" of the
Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa, an
article has been introduced from the
pen of Dr. Lionel Stevenson of. the
Ontario Agricultural. College, who in
his opening sentence' says: "Why feed
a worm -infested pig for ten or twelve
months to get it up to market weight?
Better swat the parasites; they have
no market value, while $Icon on the
hoof has." Four parasites in pa -dice-
-ler • are dealt with in his paper and
c learly refired treatments aro .given
for their control. Sanitation is of the
utmost importance in intestinal par-
asite control. Clean stock, if permit-
ted to run in -infested yards, peens and
fields, quickly become' 'victims of par-
asites as well as distributors of par-
asite eggs. The extensive use of col-
ony house and fresh ground for yards
during the open season of the year
is recommended for the keeping down
of infestation. •
Tho :medicinal treatment recom-
mended includes the use of such Medi-
cines -as oil of chenopodium, santonin,
benzine and'areca nut, in doses that
should be used fox pigs of different
ages.
MANG18 IN SWINE.
A skin disease, sarooptle mange,
has appeared from time to time in
some parts of the country, It toindi-
cated by unthriftiness, dryness of the
skin, accompanied- by continuous rub-
bing or scratching, In advanced eases
rubbing is sometimes continued until
the blood appears. • The disease is con-
fined almost entirely to the summer
season. The Scott, Saskatchewan Eit-
perimental Station had occasion to
deal with this disease and from their
experience can recommend 'a mixture
of raw linseed oil, tar oil, and sulphur,
prepared by heating one gallon of raw
oil by suspension in hot water and.
adding to this eight ounces of oil of
tar and two pounds of sulphur, stir-
red in while the oil is hot. This pre-
paration is applied warm by thee'. use.
of a: rag, to all parts of the body, Tho,
rag is merely moistened with the mix-,
ture to avoid blistering. Four treat-
ments at ten=day intervals effect a
cure. Between the third and fourth
(treatment the pens were .thoroughly
:cleaned out and the walls and, floors
sprayed with whitewash containing a
reliable ., disinfectant. Referring to
these experiments in the 1927 report
of the Scott Experimental Station, the
Superintendent states . that it is not
necessary to whitewash the walls
higher than six feet from the floor.
Robinson, over the Canadians was a distinct surprise. Fier time In the "
trials was considerably slower: than that made by the Canadian dsprinters,
although she won the heat hi whites,whites,Miss Bell was eliminated. 'While
Fanny Rosenfeld equalled the world's record, ft was on Myrtle
Cook that Canadian °Melees pinned 'their, great hope of• victory. ,Her
disqualification was` a. serious blow to Canadian. aspirations.
Quality of Commercial Cattle Market-
ed in Canadalast year, the quality
of .'the calvesas a whole was disap-
pointing, there being a preponderance
of 'grassers" and; a arge percentage
of very =common veal stock. The re-

lications Branch of the I)epartmerrt,
shows by `counties , or eldetoral dis-
tricts within .provinces, where the
calves came from, the. market classes
to which they belong, and their des-
tination. It also deals with other
classes of market stock including cat-
te,.sheep, and hogs marketed through-
out the Dorninion in 1927. Issued by

'Lights That Fail"

Crowds from Beaches -Honk
but Wait Until Waved
_ by Red Signals
Quincy,-- Mass.—Quincy motorists
have a new ,commentary on the opera-
tion of automatic -traffic signals in a
recent experience which: tied up long
lines of, cars on several- miles of the
city's principal streets' and highways
during an afternoon when pleasure
travel to -and from the beaches was
especially heavy, •
It was anew version of "The Light

A trolley wire In City Square foil
across the wires which regulate the
°signal lights throughout "the auto
mat[d`oystem recently installed by the
city. The result was that every dight
stayed just as it happened to be when
the wires wore shortafireulted, At
every rod light traffic stopped and
waited. It waited a long time and
then waited some more, Thelines be-
hind lengthened -and honked,
By that time pollee sergeants were
rushing patrolmen from -their homes
to take traffic posts and beckon to the
drivers to pass rod lights,
It was some time before the conges-
tion was cleared. Ono officer reported
an unbroken lino of automobiles at
one time extended from Quincy Square
to North Weymouth, a distance of
four miles, The police commented that

Three Attempts
Cadiz, Spain—With guitars strum•
ming a,,,farewell leer Spanish airmen
hopped off recently -in -a four -motored
seaplane on the first lap of a flight
around the world in forty-five days.
Two attempts wore necessary before
the plane, named Numencis rose
from the waters after. part of its load
had been lightened,•
At 7.15 a.m., on 'the third attempt,
the plane took oft and headed for
the Azores, -'some 1200 miles away,
From there the airmen intend to bead
for Halifax and then New York.
Before ,leaving, Ramon Franco, pilot
and commander, informed the AA
rotated Press ederespondont that he
hoped to be back in Cadiz to forty-
five days. Captain Ruiz de Alda, who
wae with Frame) on the first flight
ecru the 'South Atlantic to 1926, was
navigator aboard the. plane. The other
members of, the crew were Emilio
Gallants, co-pilot, and Pablo Rada,
mechanic.
A picturesque crowd gathered oat,
the beach to see the airmen off. Men,
women..and ohildren had been as.
rambling since midnight. Some had
guitars- and by two o'clock in the
mortileg many couples were dancing
in the moonlight, while the children
sang,
Meanwhile the four airmen were
aboard the plane, anxiously awaiting.

A few minutes later the gray sea-
plane with a Spanish flag painted on

harbor,' It was unable to rise, An-
other futile attempt was made and

Canada Attracts Attention
Canada could have no fines, na-
tional advertising than that contained
in a liandsonie circular recently is-
sued by the Messrs, Frazier Jelke es
Company, well-known New York brok-
eret The circular contains a survey
lot the dominion investment field and
a great deal of useful' general inform-
ation concerning our 'country, It is
appropriately captiotfed, "The Land
of Froiniee."
Here is a sample quotation from
the view' York firm's summing up of,
the panadian situation:
"Canada is growing in importance
as a land pf oppol'tmiity for American
investment. "Since the war, Canada
and the United' States have develop.
ad their mutual interests in flnan9e,
in industrial production, and In cone
merclat intercourse. This inter
dependence is more -marked than that
of any two : countries "which are not ,
related politically.
"Investments of the United States
in . Canada since 1920 are estimated
tq have exceeded e2,500,000,000 and
prenow said to bo greater than
those pf,alt• other countries combined.
Canadian investments' in the United
States are estimated ` approxicately
$7507000,000 compared with $118,000,-
000 in countries of the British Empire,
other than Canada."
Sometimes it takes an outsider to
see things that these in the heart of
country or a community fail to ap-
preciate. 'Phis has often been the
Case so far as Canada is' concerned.
Happily, however, Canadians are now
showing a keener, Pl
a reciation of the
greatnessess of their own nation, and

that this is so
