THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON IX AUGUST .30 The Mission of. Cyprus.— Acts 12:25; 13.12, HE COULDNT REAB FOR INDIGESTION '"'For some years previous to 1922 was subject to indigestion, with head- aches and thousands of stars sparkling in my eyes, which prevented me from wading. I decided to try K' uschen Salts, That was August, 1922, and I have taken a little in my first morning. +cup of tea ever since. I now eat any- tting, and am entirely free from indigestion or `stars.' "-F. C. Now let it be said quite definitely, that- what Kruschen did for him, it -ail do for everybody else who suffers from indigestion as he did. The fact is that 'the little daily dose" first stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid digestion, and then ensures .complete, regular, and unfailing «eliminationof all waste matter every :,day. Soon after you start on Kruschen ;you will begin to feel the benefit. You will find to your &trot you are able to enjoy your food -without any distressing .after-effects. And, as you persevere, you will see that the relief which Kruschen brings is Irsstxug relief.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, --hen they had ful- filled their ministration, Many of the poor Christians in Jerusalem were in dire distress. and the Christians of Antioch showed their sympathy in -a substantial way by gathering a gen- erous ccntribution, which was car- ried to the Holy City by Barnabas and Saul. Taking with them John hose surname was Mark. This John Mark was still a young man. His mo- ther was the Mary whose home sup- plied the upper room for the Lord's supper, the meeting -plate of the Jeru- salem Christians on several notable occasions afterwards. Now there were Antioch, in the church that was here, prophets and teachers. Antioch possessed a gen- uine Christian church, perhaps the first to be established outside of Jeru- salem.

They abstained• from food that their time might be completely devoted to the vitally im- portant work in hand, and that their. minds might be clear to receive di- vine directions. The Holy Spirit said. Doubtless he spoke through. one or more of the prophets men- tioned, since that was their special function. Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them: This work was noth- ing less than the extension of the church throughout the Gentile world, the great Roman Empire, indicated as SauI's special task when be was con- verted and doubtless laid also upon. the heart of Barnabas, who was so close to Saul. Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away The laying on of hands was.a token that henceforth Barnabas and Saul were to be the representatives in foreign parts of the Antioch church, the bearers of their commission and authority. THE FIRST MISSIONARIES OP- POSED. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit. It is well for us all when it can be said truly of our acts that they are of the Holy Spirit; they may be and should be. Went down Ito Seleucia. The seaport of Antioch, twenty miles down the Orontes. And from thence they sailed to Cyprus. A large island in the eastern Mediter- ranean famous for its copper mines: And when they were at Salamis. This city is on the eastern coast of Cyprus, and is said to have been built by Teucer, from the island of Salam- is off the coast of Greece. They pro- claimed the word of God. The gos- pel, the good news that God had sent His Son to die for the sins of the world. In the synagogues of the Jews. There were several synagogues indicating a considerable Jewish pop- ulation. And they had also John as their attendant. "His service would include primarily the business of am- anuensis, and probably also the ad- ministration of baptism—an office which Paul seldom discharged with his own hands." And when they had gone through the whole island. The Greek verb implies a very thorough visitation of the synagogues throughout the is land., which is about one hundred and; fifty miles long and sixty miles wide. Unto Paphos. This seaport, near the • western extremity of Cyprus, was the a new Paphos, the modern Baffo. They I found a certain sorcerer. These sor- ■ NI• • ■ . • • ■ ■ ■ ■ of affairs in most clubs, and although there was no immediate nor definite need of funds, it was decided to have the usual tea and cooling sale to raise some money. This lady thought that it was a mistake to raise money, when there was no definite need for' it, as there were so 'many calls for; money now, and so many places' where it was urgently', needed. She went on to speak of the many calls for money, especially in the church. She had five envelopes from her church, and had many other calls. ! She went on to say, that she was able to keep it up, but that several wo- men had told her that they had to give up their church organizations as they could not afford to support them. She said that there never was a meeting of any kind, sort, or des- cription in her church without a col- lection, or a definite admittance fee. Her denomination is different than mine, but I feel safe in saying that I have never gone to a church meet- ing in the last two churches I have attended that did not call for money. She went on to say, that she some- times felt that the real work of the church was being lost sight of in the continual drive for money, and that her church was developing into a money -getting organization. What she said impressed me, be- cause shortly before that, a woman. who is an earnest and devoted church worker, told me that she had, to give up attending any church meeting, other than church services, as in their present circumstances, she could not afford to support them. It was not the cost of the membership fees, as they were moderate enough, but it was the continual call for money. It seems unfortunate that many of those who most enjoy church meetings, are unable from lack of money, to at- tend them. I am not sure if the con- dition is the same in the town and country churches but it certainly -ex- ists in the city churches. The church is not altogether to blame. It must have money to carry on. Many people will give in dribbles -who would not give the same amount in their church conectiotts. Surely there is some way to finance a church and yet allow ail who care to go,• to attend its meetings. Butter Tarts As part of the above-mentioned cooking sale, they had a sale of re- cipes. Some of the members made sc>'eral copies of their best recipe; and :the recipeswere sold for 5c. It made a little money, there was no loss and the purchasers got their money's worth. Most women are willing to pay, ac for a recipe that will suit her family; I did not know which might be considered my best recipe, so let the family decide the matter. Their choice was "Butter Tarts." I have published it before, but am repeating it for the benefit of any new readers. 4 tablespoons butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup currants 1 egg Cream butter and sugar. Add the beaten egg and currants. Mix thor- oughly. Line tart tins with pastry, and fill with 1 teaspoon of the filling. Bake at 475 degrees until the pastry is set, then reduce the temperature for the remainder of the cooking, to pre- vent the filling from getting hard. Growing Pains Growing children often have pains in their legs. Parents have never paid much attention to them, as they were not considered to be important. Doctors tell us now, that there are no such things as growing pains. These pains are a form of rheuma- tism, and if a child has them, their cause should be looked for, immed- iately. Decayed and abcessed teeth are of- ten the cause. Then. again, diseased tonsils may be the cause. Your doc- tor will look for a pus secretion, and. will dear up the trouble and the "growing pains". Do not neglect them, and think thein not important. They play until they ache. These aches, too, are sometimes called growing _ pains.

This tastes and looks much better than sprinkling with crumbs and dotting with butter. • Toured Northern Ontario Hon. "Thomas L. Kennedy and a party of agricultural officials includ- ing heads of experimental farms, re- cently made a tour of Northern, On- tario, visiting each of the experiment- al farms and many private farms. They repotted that the farmers seemed remarkably prosperous and optimistic, having splendid crops, new barns and good animals, The itiner- ary of the trip, in the course of which the Minister opened the Lakehead Exhibition at Fort William took the party from New Liskeard to Coch- rane, whence a side journey was made to James Bay, The underlying purpose of the tour was to decide what the Government can do to as- sist the agricultural development of Northern Ontario. Big Soybean Crop From information gleaned by mem- ' bers of the O. A. C. staff, it is •esti mated that there are at Ieast two tho- usand ,. acres of soy beans in Kent4 County this year, with notable crease in many sections of the pro- vince. • The O. A. C. No. 211 is the popular variety. It is being grown for seed and as an annual hay crop feeding to. livestock. Dairymen are giving con- sideration to the soybean as a source of protein food. Present indications point to high yields. 11111;!/'1[Jt®/111tl11111[119!/li1111111;1111®11111>illl11d11l1t111111ll!®1'ile i&1®/11!■1i■EINNINN®1!®®®IUMENERIIIIMI 1 I um ■ a mi i re mi■ iv LET US a a a Iri ■ / a ® ■ HAVE TFIE !NEWS ii a ■ ■ ■ ■ If the public could onlyd realize that we are always pleased to receive all the a • ■ authentic news of the district, perhaps they would assist us by furnishing it.
