Printed Text -Acts 19:1, 8-10; 20 :17-21; Ephesians 2:19-22 Golden Text -But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ. Eph. 2:13. THIE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -Paul's first visit in Ephesus was toward the end of his second missionary journey, about A7D, 54. His longer visit there extended from A.D. 55 to A.D. 58. The epistle to the Ephe- sians was written about A.D 61. Place. -Ephesus was located on the river Cayster, about midway on the western shore of Asia Mi- nor; Miletus was twenty-eight miles south of Ephesus. 19:1. And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples. Pet- ting out again from Antioch, "the apostle's journey was most likely through Lycaonia, Galatia, and Phrygia which he had visited be- fore." Here he found certain dis- ciples who like Apollos were to a certain extent instructed concern- ing Jesus, and what they already knew drew them to listen to St. Paul who could teach them more. 19:8. And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reason- ing and percuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of God. Paul confined himself pur- ing and persuading as to the message that he had from God, concerning the things of God, pressing home the claims of God and the gospel of God to the hearts of men Paul did not talk about the empire of 12ome, but about the kingdom of God. 9. But when some were hard- ened and disobedient, speaking evil of the 'Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and sep- arated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. Note here particularly that a hardened heart is spoken of as a "disobedient" heart: disobedience will in its turn make the heart ,.harder. than before. One inevit- ably results in the other. ' Two Years In Ephesus 10. And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt ;n Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. After Paul's visit in Eph- esus had continued for something more than two years he expressed his desire to return to Jerusalem, and then to go on to Rome, the capital of the great Roman Em- pire, which he *new must be cap- tured for Christ if the empire it- self was to be brought into sub- jection to the gospel of the grace of Goa. While Paul was debating this matter in his mind, arranging his affairs in Asia, and strength- ening the churches thereabout, a great uprising took place in Ephe- sus against these new-born Chris- tians and their gospel. Paul goes over his Macedonian field, which just means that he vis- ited again Phillippi, Thessalonica, and Beroea, exhorting and encour- aging the saints. The year is now A.D. 58. Be- ing diverted from his original pur- pose, he went back through Ma- cedonia. 17. And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the eld- ers of the church. 18. And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I Was with you all the time, 19. serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews. Paul was a man of deep- est emotion along with his high intellectually. Farewell To The Elders 20. How I shrank not from de- elaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from House to house, 21. testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and .faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. It is worth noting that this greatest of preachers preach- ed from house to house. Eph. 2:1-22.. In this chapter Paul speaks about three things - what men are before they become Christians, what men are and what men have when they become Chris- tians, and what all men and wo- men who are Christians will be, according to the eternal purposes of God. Heirs Of Cod The last 4 verses of our chapter give us additional truth concern- ing our present Life in Christ and its future glory. 7.9.

Being built upon the foun- dation of the apostles and proph- ets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone. 21. In whom each several building, fitly fram- ed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; 22. in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. A building assumes that there is a plan and an architect who has drawn the plan. The building of which you and I are part has been drawn by God himself, and will be completed according to his own purposes. The building is not complete to -day. It is still under construction. Ultimately the en- tire church, composed of all - the saints of all the ages, will be truly a holy temple, "for a habitation of God in the Spirit." The crown- ing thought, for the soul which loves God, is this, that we shall be his abode; he shall somehow find his home, his shrine, his throne, in our happy congregated building. How Can ?

GARDENING GIVE PLENTY QF ROOM In planting flower or vegetable seed it Is important to allow plenty of room because even the c:uthus- iast dons not care to spend muck time kneeling and thinning. Labor can be saved by properly spacing the seed as planted. Corn, Beets, peas and similar plants with big seeds can easily be sown at the distances advocated on the packet. With tiny seeded lettuce or alys- sum, however, it is practically im- possible to space by hand, but if the seed is first mixed with a little sand and the whole sown carefully, plants will be spread out. GARDEN PICTURES Although the informal flower garden is much to be preferred for average planting, at the same time this' does not mean just throwing in plants. Experts advise a little preliminary planning even when only a small bed of annuals is con- templated. The good seed cat- alogue which lists time of bloom- ing, colors, heights and other points greatly simplifies this matter of lay out. Generally the best plan is to have the larger flowers towards the rear or centre of the bed so that Iittle things like nasturtiums, alyssum, dwarf phlox and similar kinds will not be hidden. Where the bed. is to be mixed, it is well also state the experts, to have late, medium and early flowers evenly balanced to insure something always in bloom. If a supply of out flowers is wanted for the table, blooms with long stems that will keep well in water are advisable. Then horti- cultural authorities urge the plant- ing of such things as sweet peas, 10 A N D MADGE EMPIRE DAY MESSAGE An Empire Day message spoken by His Majesty the King from Winnipeg on May 24th at 3 p.m.. and relayed to the British Com- monwealth of Nations by the Can adian Broadcasting Corporation, will mark the climax of the forth- coming visit of Their Majesties to.
