Therefore the Lesson Committee has selected for us some of Paul's most characteristic prayers, which we are to consider in order to' increase our own power in prayer; And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all. Paul had reviewed his work„ at Ephesus, had spoken of the hazard- ous . journey which he was making, had foretold that this was their last sight of him, and at that solemn mo- ment had warned them to be faithful to their trust. And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him. We can imagine how tender Paul's prayer was, how full of love for the church, He carried to Christ all the needs of his hearers. He lifted their hearts with his to the throne of grace. Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. Perhaps some of them had been obliged to flee from Jerusalem because of persecu- tion. All of them knew well the risk that Paul was running. And they brought him on his way unto the ship. They wished to get as rimch as pos- sible of the inspiration and wisdom that radiated from all he said_ or did. PRAYING FOR OTHERS Paul, writing from Corinth to the Roman Christians whom he hoped to visit soon (though not under the sad circumstances which came about), in- troduces at the start of his letter the note of thanksgiving which so often enters into his writings. Here is a little lesson in prayer: Its object, its Mediator, and its chief theme; which should be praise; and not praise for secular blessings mainly, but. primar- ily for the joys of the spiritual life. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father. "For this cause" goes back to the first verse of this chapter and repeats its opening words. Paul had been writing about the great spir- itual temple of which the Ephesians 41/111111,11111110 were a part. It is a prayer that every. Christian may well offer for himself and for all other Christians. From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. Thus the fa- mily is literally 'named' from the Fa- ther. The thought is that God is the source and head of -all union among Christians, the great Architect of the spiritual temple about which Paul has been writing. That he would grant you, accord- ing to the riches of his glory. God is gloriously rich, infinitely rich, and can easily answer Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. God's answers to prayer are "according to" God's resources, and so they are always magnificent answers. That ye may be strength- enedwith power through his Spirit in the inward man. Paul refers to the Holy Spirit often in this Epistle. He is the agent through whom God trans- nnits His own power to the soul of every true Christian. That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. That is why we are to receive God's power through the Holy Spirit, that we may prepare our hearts as Christ's dwelling -place. To the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in. love. Love is the soil in which the Christian life grows; love, to man and love to God. May be strong to apprehend with all the saints. "Saints" are holy men and women, who by the power of God are separated from sin„and united. to God. Every Christian' should be a. saint. What is the breadth and length and height and depth. The divine love is thus pictured as a vast palace or temple, or perhaps as the meas= tireless universe: it is as broad and long, as deep and high as space it- self. And to know the love of Christ which passeth 'knowledge. How can we know what exceeds knowledge? We can know as much as our powers of mind and soul can grasp; and hi the grasping our mind and soul arc ever enlarged so that we can appre herd more. Thus the marvellous pro- cess goes on endlessly. That ye may be filled unto all the, fulness of God, "Unto” implies that the "fulness of God,". the completeness of the divine I nature, is the goal: of the Christian. Nothing less than that is his aim, and Paul prays, that nothing less than drat may be the attainment of •his friends hi Ephesus, Now 'unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that We ask or think.

Canadian Merchant's Dream Becomes An Empire's Pride Not all Canadians know that the aggressive Sir Samuel Cunard, founder of the famous steamship company, was himself a Canadian, a Bluenose, born of humble United Empire Loyalist parentage No- vember 21, 1787, at 277 Brunswick Street, Halifax. His picture is appropriately combined with the Canadian emblem and the world's fastest liner, the Cunarder Mauretania. As a young man, Cunard acquired influential friends and marvellous business intuition by his miscellaneous merchandising in Halifax. He won the confidence of the British Government and in 1840 Surprised the world with his wonder ship Britannia, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic on regular schedule. She was under contract to carry Her Majesty's Mail. Then came more ships for Cunard—the Columbia, the Caledonia and the Acadia. They were of about 1,000 tons register and about 200 feet long. Today the Cunard Line's interests run into a million in ship tonnage, includ- ing the Berengaria which registers 52,000 tons, is 919 feet long and accommodates 4,000 souls; and the Mauretania which still keeps the world's speed record and crosses the Atlantic in five days; and the Canadian -service diners Alaunia, Andania, Anthema, Antonia, Ansonia, Aurania,.Ascania and Letitia, each of about 14,000 tons. , himself is not "able" for this unim- aginable achievement, but, happily for him, he has for an ally One who is able, abundantly able, to do all we can pray for, all we can conceive of, even to bestow upon our poor, weak human lives all of Himself.

Unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus. God's glory is to be shown and increased in Christ's church, as it already has been shown in the life and death of Christ, and as it will be shown more and more through the works of Christ dwelling in men. Unto all generations for ev- er and ever. Paul means that there is to be no doubt whatever`of all these glorious possibilities as the re- sults of faith -filled prayer.

He plant- ed 50 acres of potatoes on his farm near Whitechurch, in the township of West • Wawanosh, Huron county, a- bout seven miles from Lucknow. He treated the potatoes with Bordeaux mixture to prevent blight and rot, and people carne in cars for many miles around to see his big potato patch when it was in bloom, As John was born in Ireland it is perhaps unnecessary to say that he selected the Irish Cobbler as the best type of potatoes. He began to plant April 28th and they were ready for digging on August 1st.
