THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-A.D. 41, Place. -Caesarea, about seventy miles from Jerusalem. This wonderful chapter demands * whole book for its adequate in- terpretation. It presents more varied and profound truths than. and teacher can hope to bring be- fore a class in any half-hour peri- od. Joppa was approximately thirty miles south of Caesarea. The mes- senger from the house of Corne- lius had travelled all of one day and one half of the next, arriving at Joppa at about the noon hour, just when Peter went up to the housetop to pray, the second of especially designated hours for prayer observed by most Jews of that day. As God revealed his will for Cornelius through a vision, so God at this time likewise reveals his will for Peter in a vision, or literally a "trance." Messengers Arrive The messengers from Cornelius arrived at Peter's house the second day after leaving Caesarea; they stayed there that night; the next morning they left for Caesarea, spent the night somewhere on the way, possibly at Apollonia, and ar- rived at the house of Cornelius the day after. Entering into the house, where he found quite a multitude of people gathered to- gether, Peter frankly told these Gentiles that everything he was doing seemed to be contrary to a Jew's conception of right, and yet he believed that God had clearly shown him that no man could be rightly called common or unclean, and for this reason, not without hesitation, he had come to• Caesar- ea at the command of God and by the request of Cornelius. Even yet Peter did not know for what rea- son he had been sent for. The vision did not tell him everything; the messengers did not fully in- form him;• in fact, they did not know why Peter was sent for. This was for Cornelius to tell. 30. And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping, the ninth hour of prayer intmy house; and behold, a mail stood before me in bright apparel, 31. and saith, Cornelius, thy pray- er is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32. Send therefore to Jop- pa, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Sinton a tanner, by the sea side. 33a. Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Ready for God's Orders 33b. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been ecmmarded thee of the Lord. Cor- nelius is ready for orders iron the Lord. 34. And Peter opened his mouth, ane said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of per- sons. God is interested in every mals: because he is a man. 35. But in every nation he that feareth him, and wbeketh right- eousness, is acceptable to hem. Peter has been led to see that a man like Cornelius is acceptable in God's sight to hear the gospel. He is eligible to the kingdom. The fear of God and works of right- eousness have not taken the place of Christ, but the place of Moses. If Peter had thought that none but Jews were acceptable candidates for the kingdom, he now sees that this company of Gentiles is also acceptable. Therefore he proceeds to offer them the gospel and the forgiveness of sins in Christ. 36. The word which he sent un- to the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all). 37. That saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Gali- lee, after the baptism which John preached. Peter now begins to summarize, with extreme brevity, the fundamental points in the early Life of our Lord. "We Are Witnesses" 33. Even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him withthe Holy Spirit and with power. (Mark 1:10, 31; Matt. 3:16, 17). Who went about doing good, and heal- ing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with hint. 30. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jeru- velenl; wh.oni also they slew, hang- ing him, on a tree. 40. Hina God raised up the third day, and. gave him to be made ma- nifest, 41. not to all the people, but unto witnesses that Were Che- tah before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose frond• the dead, 42. And he charged us to preach to the ,people, and to testify Canada's flack Spruce Supply Unsurpassed As Source of Wood Pulp - Grows And Thrives Under Unfavorable Condi- tions. Continuity of future supplies of black spruce the subje,,t of inves- tigations being conducted by the Dominion Forest Service of the De- partment of Mines and Resoui ci *t the Petawawa Forest Experimen- tal Station. Black spruce is unsur- passed as a source of wood pulp and Is in constant demand as a raw anaterial for use in the production of sulphite pulp for newsprint, ray- on, and other materials. Black spruce has the ability to grow and thrive on areas where, owing to excessive moisture and un- favorable soil conditions, other commercial tree species will not grow. It is fours,: across Canada on the vast areas of swamps and mus- kegs that otherwise would be waste lands. Studies show that black spruce may reproduce either from seed or from basal branches which, when co I ered with Moss, "sequently take root, sending a shoots that develop into trees. Because of the imp rtance of black spruce to the economic life of Canada, it is extremely necessary tbat studies be made of its habits and of its growth with a view to the better understanding of the species in order to utilize its bene- fits to the full extent..and to assure a permanent supply of the species. Falls Island Said Sagging Luna Island, joining the Ameri- can and Bridal Veil Falls, is in no danger of sinking out of sight in- to the river, the authorities on the United States side branding as "fantastic" reports that the island Gocl to be the Judge of the living and the dead. 43. To him bear all the pro- phets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins. Peter earnestly declares to this household that their sins could be forgiven only by believ- ing in the Lord Jesus Christ. 44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision that be- lieved were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on - the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 46. Foe they heard them speak with tongues. 46b. And magnify God. Then answered. Peter. This miraculous endowment of Cornelius and his friends with the Holy Ghost serv- ed three purposes: it certified the truth of Peter's words; it proved to Peter and to those who were with ]tial] the genuineness of the faith of the Gentile converts; as it was bestowed through no apostolic intervention, but directly and im- mediately by the Lord, it indicat- ed his will that they who had re- ceived it should be then and there admitted to the membership of the church. 47. Can any man forbid the wa- ter, that these should not be bap- tized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Canada's Second Woman Mayor Mrs. Florence 11I. Fraser, el- ected mayor of Stavely, Alber- ta, last week, by acclamation, is the first woman mayor in Al- berta and the second woman in Canada to win such honor. ' Mrs. Barbara Hanley, mayor of Webbwood, in Northern On- tario, was the first wolllan to become chief magistrate in Canada. Mrs. Fraser, widow of the late J. F. Fraser, former Cana- dian. Bank of Commerce mana- ger there, was the first woman Councillor in Stavely, 70 miles South of Calgary. She was councillor for four years. had sagged between fifteen ;and twenty feet one day in February. From the Canadian side, how" ever, a sag in the island is plainly visible. The opinion was expressed by Canadian residents that if the island drops off into the river the American Falls will be extended to the Bridal Veil Falls, W. Robertson, manager of the Clifton Gate House souvenir store. on the Canadian side of the river, said George James, a local camerae Haan, photographed the spot one week and took another "shot" the next week. A comparison of the prints showed an unmistaklable dip in the fence around the front of the Island, he said. Trail Hockeyists World Champions "Smoke Eaters" From British Columbia Clinch World Amateur Title at Basle, Switzerland. Canada renewed its lease on the world amateur hockey champion- ship in February, while Trail Smoke Eaters, the uncanny crew from British Columbia, relaxed at the end of a trail of triumphs. The Allan Cup holders defeated. the United States 4 - 0 and clinched the world title at the tournament at Basle, Switzerland, in which 14 nations engaged in play on the pool system. The victory kept for the Domin- . fon the supremacy it established last year through the Sudbury Wolves and the year before with Kimberley Dyuamiters. Dominion Won Last Year The Smoke Eaters warmed up for the tourney with a 22 -game ex- hibition series in The Netherlands, Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and Germany, winning all games and scoring 147 goals to 17 by the opposition. They then breezed through the wor' ' tourney, scoring • 38 times to a single counter from the competition. Synchronize Fairs With ,Agriculture Rural Fair Boards In Ontario Are Not Taking Advantage Of Opportunity To Do Real Service To Communiti;,a, Editor Declares. Parmere, have been very weals at times in expressing the rural vieVe joint through the medium of their agricultural organizations and tall fairs, leaving it to outside groups and organizations, W. H. Porter, managing editor of the Farmers' Advocate, told executives o! IUl1gin county agricultural societies, when he addressed them on the subject of "Synchronizing the Fall Fairs.' Reflect Character of District Mr. Porter submitted that fall fairs should be more than a place where people congregate once a year and chat or look at the same type and class of exhibits. A fall fair should reflect the eberacter of the farming areas it serves and should have a real practical value to those attending. He told of what Denmark has been doing for years in the conduct of its fall fairs and agricultural societies. The Danes build on record of performan e, the ability of breed and the marketing et values of exhibits. Mr. Porter suggested. that Elgin agricultural societies in planning their fall fairs Haight give more attention to such. matters. He did not advocate an adoption of the Danish plan, stat- ing that he realized that was not practicable in Ontario at the pres- ent time, but Ontario farmers might work toward that objective. First Aid Training Needed In Business Competent men trained in first aid, and employees impressed with the need for immediate attention of the most trivial -seeming injur- ies was urged upon. Ontario indus- try as "good business." RADIO NOTES AND NEWS Ry MADGE ARTHUR probably know the name of the new Pope before it is announced from the balcony of St. Peter's in Rome.

The American networks will reciprocate while their Majesties are over the border. CBC and NBC will hook-up by short wave with the BBC and other systems within the Empire. It will be unquestionably the big- gest hook-up in the history of broad- casting, Historical moments to be broad- cast include the landing at Quebec on May 15 of the first British mon- arch to set foot on this continent, his crossing of the border at Niag- ara iabara Falls on June 7 or S, another Royal first, the first meeting of an English King and an American President on American soil, a.nd the farewell which comes from Halifax on June 15. my .. :;I Bob Trout, of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem, is the first commentator to be assigned to the Royal party.

It is understood that Zanuck will try to buy off the privilege of doing eight radio shows a year which is written into Alice Faye's contract, It is also said that Zan- uck will try b persuade Don Ameche to retire as master of cere- monies of the Chase & Sanborn Hour. This would seem to be part of a concentrated drive by the film industry against picture personali- ties broadcasting. It is believed due to protests of motion picture exhibitors who find radio a severe competitor. TO BE HEARD President Roosevelt' speaks to Congress on 150th anniversary of first IJ. S.
