Spring tarries, and of course, we
tarry with it, Not because we want
to but because we have no choice.
Make up your mind to do some little
job outside and what happens'?
iYou get absolutely mired in mad. ,
You try walking where the going -
looks good only to find the amid'
Liquelching under your feet. If you
wear rubbers you stand a good
chance of losing them; ii you don

them impedes your progress. Comes
a night with a sharp frost and, by
way of contrast, instead of slith-
bring around in the mud you go
Sliding around on the ice, while a
cold wind congeals your blood and
- destroys any energetic ambitions
that had begun to make themselves
felt. That is what happens when
you go by the calendar. Ybu look

the first tender green shoots of the

inclination to burst their protective

of one afternoon filling out forms
of one kind and another. Then I
had to chase around town to find
someone to swear to what I had
sworn. It must have been an of-
ficial holiday or something for none
of those I wantedto see ss -ere
around town. Now I think we are
through withforms for a little
while. We have signed for new
tires; filled out cards for food rasa
tion books; gas ration category;
special gas ration category; fur-
nace guarantee; car licence; driver's
permit and radio licence. If Ot-
tawa hasn't got us earmarked and

have. The only thing lacking is
finger-prints—and, who knows, the

if forms and suchlike help win the

Invasion yet .to be and grumble
about Our own little inconveniences,
can we? And, if, as we flounder
through the mud, we think, "Oh,

along with the primroses and vio-
lets that adorn the English country
lanes there are also other things
less beautiful but necessary. Where
the primroses are thickest there
may also be barbed wire entangle-

has given us plenty of phitaortunity

Cover Sneeze, Cough
With Your Hankie
The genteel hand over the mouth,
when one coughs or sneezes, is
quite ineffective in checking the
spread of the common respiratory
diseases, the Health League of
Canada says, urging the observance
of simple rules of hygiene. C017-

handkerchief is good hygiene as
well as good mannera, it was stat-

Concentrate
If the plot of vegetables is very
tiny, then authorities advise con-
centrating cm those vegetables
which give the biggest yield. This
means small, compact things. like
onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, radish
spinach, beans, and possibly a few
staked tomatoes, With the first
five items, even 10 'feet of row if
given a little atteution in the way
of thinning, cultivation and per-
haps watering and fertilizer, should.
produce three or 'four good Meals
for the fair-sized family. And
as the rows can be spaced a mere
foot apart, a plot a dozen feet
each way will grow a lot. Spin-
ach and beans take a little more
space, but 20 feet of row will fur-
nish several meals,
Tomatoes will take up still More
ro m, but if staked can go in about
18 inches apart. One plant will
gr ,w a big basket of tomatoes, and
if all side shoots are nipped off
and the plant tied loosely to a six-
foot stake it will ripen the fruit
surprisingly early.
First Planting
There are some things which
must get first growth while the
weather is cool and moist. In this
line, of course, are shrubs, vines
aud trees and other nursery stock.
One can hardly plant these too
early.
There are also those flowers
which normally seed themselves,
things like cosmos, :corn flowers,
marigolds and :alyssum, Grass is
also in this category.
In vegetables among the earli-
est ones there are several that inuat
get their growth in cool weather.
These include peas, s p in a c h,
onions, curly endive, radish and
lettuce. One can start to plant
all these just as soon as 'the driest
part of the garden is ready.
Three Sowings
With most vegetables, the ex-
perts advise making at least three
sowings, about ten days to a fort-
night apart. In this way the
eardeller is protected against dam-
age which might wipe out one
sowing, and the season of garden
fresh vegetables will be greatly -ex-
tended.
There are various little ways the
experienced gardener uses to hasten
things along. With tidy seed's
like those of lettuce, onions, etc.,.
sowing will be more economical
and need less arduous thinning
the fine iced is mixed with a
little sand and the mixture spread
thinly along the rows. Allow pota-
toes to sprout in a saintly, warm
room for a week or two and see
that sprouts are not broken off in
planting. Soak the seeds of beans,
peas, beets, corn, etc., before plant-
ing,

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The first missionary jour-
ney of the Apostle Paul probably
began in A.D. 47 and, if it extended
over a period of probably four
years, may haves terminated in
A.Pe
D, 50.
city of Antioch, as
we saw in our preceding lesson,
was located at the northern ex-
tremity of Syria, on the Orontes
River. The island of Cyprus was
directly west of Syria in the Medi-
terranean. The cities which Paul
visited on this journey were, for
the most part, in Galatia, which
ssould be the southern part of
the country now known as Asia
Jdinor.
'One In. Christ Jesus'
“Now there was at Antioch, in
the chorch that was there, pro -
Pilots and teachers. Barnabas, and
Symeon that was called Niger.
Manaen, the foster -brother of
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul." This
-•,'-'verse reveals how the Holy Spirit
Was working among nations and
races of all colors and creeds. All
veesru.,
e;becoming 'One In Christ
J
And as they ministered to the
Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit
.Said, separate the Barnabas and
'Saul for the work whereunto I
have called them." Notice here the
distinct personality and Godhead
of the Holy Ghost. Both men
had been called tong before, but
were now to be solemnly set apart
for the special work to which in
the divine purpose they had been
destined.
Messengers Of The Church
"Then, when they had fasted and
prayed and laid their hands on
them, they sent them away." This
was a solemn dedication of them
to a -work in which they were to
enter as the accredited messengers
of the church.
"So they, being sent forth by the
Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia;
and from thence they sailed to
B2%1)as and Saul,sent
forth by the Spirit, are the van-
guard, of Christ's army going forth
deliverto
In
ca. from Satan's domin-
ation.The Cripple's Faith
"And at Lystra there sat a cer-
tain man, impotent in his feet, a
cripple from his mother's womb,
who never had walked. The same
heard Paul speaking: who, fasten-
ing his eyes upon him, and seeing
that he had faith to be made whole,
said with a loud voice, stand up-
right on thy feet. And he leaped
up ' and walked," The apostle,
through the discernment given by
the Spirit, saw that this cripple had
faith and was a fit object to be
• made, by his cure, a sign tune the
,men of Lystra. His faith saved
liis soul and qualified him for a
miraculous bodily cure.
Jupiter And Mercury
."And when' the multitude saw
what Paul had done . . . and would
liave done sacrifice 'with multi-
-tildes," Jupiter was the greatest of
the classical deities, 'the father of
of gods and men'. Mercury was
the god of eloquence and regarded
as the 'messenger of the gods.' The
city believed itself to be under
the protection of Jupiter, and his
ternOle stood, as was usual in front
Of the chief gates of the city.
Paul's Devotion To Christ
"But when the apostles, Barna-
:has and Paul, heard of it . And
with these sayings scarce restrained
they the multitudes from doing
sacrifice unto them." These words
reveal again the strength of Paul's
character, his absolute devotion
to Christ, and his _horror of such
adulation. It would Lave been so
easy to accept this worship and
abandon the pathway of persecu-
tion and of the stones. If men
wouldhelp the prophet they should
pray that he niay never accept the
garland or the wotship of men.

The Book Shell
Alaska And The •
Canadian Northwest
• By Harold. Griffin
This is the story of the opening
up of North America's last frontier,
of what is being achieved to-
day under the impact ofwar and
what can be achieved' tomorrow.
It is the story of a frontier which
is both American and Canadian,
since. it -cannot be geographically
and economizally separated, em-
Lracing an area • extending front
the Mackenzie River to the Bering
Strait, and taking in parts of the
Northwest Territories, northern
Alberta and British Columbia, the
Yukon and Alaska.
Throughout the book the etn-
phasis is placed -upon postwar pos- .
sibilities and opportnuities, riot in
such a way as to ignore the war
but so as to estimate today's ac-
complishments in terms of tomor-
row's possible achievements. The
tr• inendous Alaska 11i6liway, trans-
forming the wilderness, the role
of aviation, the oil developments
at Abaaands and Norman Wells,
the settlements in the Matanuska.
Valley and elsewhere are all dis-
cussed in this light.
The design of the book is to
show the new Northwest now
from Antioch and tconium and
having persuaded the multitudes,
they stoned Pau., and dragged him
out of the city, supposing that he
was dead. But as the disciples
stood round about him, he rose
up, and entered into the city: and
on the morrow he went forth with
Baranabas to Derbe." One moment
the heathen mob waited to worship
Barnabas and Paul, the next they
tried to stone Paul to death. So
it has been to this day because
man is so frail, changeable, short-
sighted. The fact that disciples
stood round about Paul shows his
mission had not been in vain, They
courageously identified themselves
with him, That Paul should rise
as one from the dead was a striking
evidence of the power of God, it
was nothing les titan a miracle.
