It appears thet the thought that Jesus was 1 he. Messiah did not prevail among tile' pimple, Le, \Whom say ye that I am Chi - was the most natural question to ask at. t1it point. Jesus would now have the dis- ciples declare how they had been nn - pressed by His teaching, iiia miracle: and His personal influence!. 16. Simon Peter answered -Peter was the spokesman of the di,seipiee, not o•t.y on this occasion, but generaLy. Lli, irr• pu:s.re lettere and his quic•k,ie.s 01 ap- • pree..it_,:m favored this practice.

The Sen of tie living God -{Chis denotes the nature of Jesus in His relation to the Godhead.

"God is here styled the living God, be- cause He is the author of all ltfc and existence; hence, self -existent. eternal." Peter's confesion contains the vt'ry es. senee of Christian doctrine. 17. Blessed art thou -A genuine confession of Christ always brings biassing to the con feeeor. II.. The foundation of the church (vs. 18-20). 18. I say -Peter had spoken, now Christ has something further to say about the kingdom under the figure of the church. Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church -"Thoth art Peter" (Greek, petros, a stone). "Upon this rock" (Greek, Petra. the bedrock). There has been much discus- sion as to what the rock is upon which Christ builds His church. The leading opinions are: 1. Peter alone. 2. Peter on au equality with the other apostles, whose spokesman he was. 3. The con - Cession of Peter, "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 4. Christ Himself. A.11 these views are strenuously maintained by their respective advo- cates. A statement in Ephcsians 2. 20, "And aro built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone," indicates that tiie main foundation is Christ and the apostles and prophets are joined with him in the church's founda- tion. The confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of God is essential to the foundation of the Christian Church. The apostles' confession of the divinity of Christ is the foundation of the church. The church includes all who aecept .Jesus as their personal Saviour and maintain faith in Him. The gates of hell -The powers of the infernal world. Shall not prevail -The Church of Christ is indgs- tructable. Sat ,an has pub forth all his efforts for ages to overthrow Christian- ity, but all in vain. What is true of the church is true of the Christian if he keeps his oofession and his faith good. 10. Keys of the kingdom of heaven -A key is a symbol of authority, and the apostles were to have authority with respect to the church after Jesus' earth- ly mission was closed. Whatsoever thou shalt bind, etc. -This explains the use of the keys. The apostles were given au- thority to Organ* and direct' the church of Christ on earth. The terms "binding" and "loosing" were much need among the Yews to denote forbid- ding and allowing. Wisdom and author- ity were to be given the apostles to gov- ern the church,. and what they did in that capacity 'would have the sanction of heaven. 20. Tell no man- The time had not yet come for this truth to be pub- lished. III, Chzisb foretells His death and resurrection (vs. 21-23). 21. Prom that time forth -Having established, the dis- ciples in the faith that he was the Mes- siah, Be could make known to them the course that lay before Him.

"With the mouth confession is made" (Rom. 10:9, 10). The Hebrew. children said, "Our God whom we see is able to de- liver `es" (Dan. :3:16-10). Peter and John said. "Whether it be right in the sight of (rod to hearken unto you.... judge ye (Arts 4:10; 5:29). Richard Weaver confessed Christ the first morn- ing after his conversibn. As he went to work the men were seated around the mouth of the pit. As he drew near they looked at each other and laughed. Ile quietly waited. He had not been afraid of nn1en before conversion. and was not going to he afterwards. So praying. "0 God, help rue.." he was pre- paring to go about his work when one of the men said, "ls it true, Richard?" "Is what ° true 1" he asked. "`.that you are converted." "Fes it is, true," he firmly replied. The next moment over half a dozen of the men cried, "Would to Cod it were so with us!" They started an inquiry meeting and six of them were soon rejoicing in Christ. Cross of Christ. "He must....suffer" (v. 21). `"The Son of man....liftcd up" (John 3:14). He • must be crucified (Luke 24:7). Jesus most die that man might live. In his death we see, 1. The necessity of law. "Without shedding of Blood is no remission" (Heb. 9:22). A. .7. Cordon says. "I know not but that this law is as inexorable as the law of mathematics. that two and two make four." 2. The necessity of obedience. Referring to his death. Jesussaid. "This commandment have I received of. my Father" (John 10.18). And he "became obedient unto death. even the death of t1le• cross" (Phil, 2:8). Jesus must go to the cross when his Father called him. He must die, for he (mild not disobey. 3. The necessity of love. "Cod so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son" (John 3:16), "God so pitied this •poor world that he poured out the very heart of his heart, and flung it among the rabble of Cal- vary to be crushed by sacrilegious feet. that thereby he milt win a lost race to himself." .Christ said. "I have a bap- tism to ibe baptized with; and how tun I painted till' it be accomplished" .(Luke 12:50, margin). "Compassion craving -the cross love em'bradng the crucifixion as a mother her child." ;Truly, "Cod commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). Follow Christ. What wase necessary for Jesus is necessary for us. 1. We. must deny self. "If any 'man will come after me, let him deny Himself" (v, 24). Our denial of self measures our like- ness to Jesus. He never chose his own way, nor lived for his own comfort, nor sought hie own glory, His Was a life of self-denial. "Christ pleased not him- self" (Rom. 15;3). He himself ... „Au f- ,iered." (Heb. 2:14, 18). He "made him- self a ransom for tell" (1 Tito. 216; Eph. 5;2, r25; (Cal. 1:4; 2.20; Thee 2,:' 14). "I3iruself took 0111 infirmities" (Matt. "fle....p11t away sin by the sae- s lifice of himself" (Itch, 0126), 2. Abso- :;tte surrender iii: self is the first re quisite of the discipleship, "Whoso• (-ver 110 be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, 11e eaannt be my dis- eiple" (Luke 14;3.3). 3. We must bear the cross. "Take lip his cross, and fol- low me" (v. 24). H. Clay Trumbull says: "The cross, literally, the stake, was the instrument of execution for con- demned criminals; he who bore a ,cross o11 his,shouider was recognized as one appointed to die, and lie must stand or move with that fact staring him in the face." A. C., M. II Far;;,, News A method of Protecting seed corn against crows is to add a tablespoonful of chloride of line to a peck of shelled corn, mixing it well. It is a very cheap and easy way and the seed is more agreeable to handle than when coated with tar,: after the more common meth- od. Duriiig warm weather calves should be kept in during the daytime and turned out during the evening, so as to avoid the hot sun and the flies. Whole or chopped oats should be fed, or a mixture of whole and chopped oats. About a cupful twice a day for an ordinary -sized calf, that is on good pasture will be sufficient. For fall feeding, until the roots are harvested, there is nothing equal to green corn run through the cutting box and mixed with some chop- ped oats. The main point calf -feeding is never to allow them to stop growing, and for beef animals keep them in good flesh. In feeding calves, as in every 'system of feeding, the extremes of over and under -feeding are to be avoid- ed. Continuous, regular. liberal feeding always brings the most profit and the best practical results. Someone has estimated from statisties that fruit trees and bushes will bear for the following periods: Apples, 25 to 40 years; blackberry, 6 to 14 years; cur- rants, 20 years; gooseberry, S to 12 years; pear, 50 to 75 years; plum, 20 to 25 years; raspberry, 6 to 14 years. Captain Joshua D. Wheaton, of Chin- coteague, Va., claims the distinction of being the only wild goose farmer in the world. He has 250 acres of land skirting. the coast of Chincoteague .Sound and has at the present time over 1,500 wild geese on the place, He ships alive to the northern markets and gets an aver- age price of $5 per pair.

Twenty-three acres of corn after rye, planted June 1, last year, with cow peas drilled between rows at the first culti- vation, produced at the New Jersey ex- perimental station 214.8 tons of silage.

Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture. gives out the following recipe for hog cholera, which is claimed by many who have tried it to be invaluable in warding off the disease: '1 part wood charcoal. 1 part sulphur. 2 parts sodium chloride (salt). 2 parts sodium bicarbonate (soda). 2 parts sodium 'lyposulphite. 1 part sodium sulphate. 1 part Sodium sulphate. 1 part antimony sulphate. Pulverize and mix thoroughly. Dose, one tablespoonful for each 200 pounds weight of hog, once a day. The reason why fatted flesh is better than unfatted is that globules of fat are distributed throughout the muscles, die- placing to a considerable degree the moisture found there in. The bulk is not only therefore increased, but also when the flesh is cooked the fat does not evaporate to the same extent as water, but, melting, softens the tissue, making it more digestible and finer in flavor. An authority on horticulture, referring to the importance of perfect fertilization, says that any farmer who is raisng fruit or alfalfa for seed can well afford to keep ten colonies of bees, even though he does not get a pound of honey. Fresh manure is valued at about $2 per ton, but that which is well rotted is more valuable, A ton of manure that had been rotted for three months, when analyzed was found to contain 24 pounds of potash, 15 of nitrogen and 6 of phos- phoric acid, being worth about $3. A dairyman who has been unusually successful with his cows feeds this ra- tion: Clover, hay and Corn fodder, all the cows will eat up clean, foe rough- age; for grains. peas and oats, ground fine, and bran in equal parts by weight, and he feeds one pound of grain to three or four pounds of milk, with 16 pounds of sugar beets a day. • Internal parasites are the worst ene- mies of sheep, and the stomach worm is perhaps the worst of these, Any ground long pastured with infested sheep will become infested with these parasites.

About one barrel per acre has been known to bene- fit grass during periods of drought, the salt being applied in May.

Poor pasture does not pay for the rea- son that it is to the interest of the far- mer that his cows secure an abundance of food at the least cost. The animal should not be compelled to work for their food on the pasture by tramping the groend . in the search for grass. As soon as a pasture does not supply an abundance the cattle should be taken off and fed on green food at the barn, as they will fall off in milk if the supply of food on the pasture fails. ttrtig4t' &MEV Z.76g13 tililhilitrtt" ��•• TORONTO MARKETS. LIVE STOCK. The qualiy of catty; generally was common to medium, with a few lots and loads of good. A little better tone characterized the cattle market due mainly to feet that re- ceipts for the two days were compara- tively light.

The majority of the salesmen agreed that prices were steady to strong for ate good. The hog market closed from 100 to 15c per cwt. higher than at the commence - anent of the week.
