GOLDEN TEXT.—And the multi- tude of them that believed were of one heart and soul. Acts 4 : 32. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Practically all of the ev- ents in our lesson occurred in A.D. 36. Place.—The city of Jerusalem. This lesson is filled with com- fort. We are living in days when the Christian Church is being at- tacked on every hand, and when many people are suffering in the most terrible way because of their loyalty to Christ, They began to suffer for Christ in this chapter. There have been some who have likewise suffered down through every age. Our faith is a faith that the world hates, and that some men somewhere in every age try to stamp out. The consequences. of persecution which are found in the long lesson which is before us are also being discovered to be the consequences of persecution today, in. many places. The final result of these persecutions was the extending of the Church, the con- firming of the disciples, and the final destruction of the powers at- tempting to stamp out the Church. The Jerusalem Church At the opening of our lesson, the first persecution, not a severe one, had just passed. While the apost- les were thrown into prison, though confined there only for a single night, and while it is true they had been examined by the Sanhedrin, the following day, their form of punishment was only a prohibition. They were commanded never to preach again in the name of Jesus and were then released. Many per- secutions followed, and finally, be- fore forty years had passed, the whole city of Jerusalem would be on the ground in absolute ruin. In the meantime, a very beautiful and serene condition prevailed in the mother Chtuch. All Things En Common 32.. "And the multitude of them that believed of one heart and soul: and not one of them said that aught of the things which he pos- sessed was his own; but they had all things eoinmon." The Lord had summed up one of the two tables of the Mosaic law in the command: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The Apostolic Church in this time of holy enthusiasm and devotion to the memory and com- mands of Jesus, fulfilled His pre- cepts in the most literal fashion. A Christian who had money or the means of securing it, could not see his poorer brother believer in want, but loving him and treating him as another part of himself, freely shared what he had with his less fortunate neighbor. What would happen to the Church today if its members followed Christ's pre- cepts as closely as did the men of the early Church? 33. "And with great power gave the apostles their witness P the resu'rr'ection of the Lora Jesus: and great grace was upon them O." The power with which they breached would seem to imply that the consequence of their wit- nessing to the Resurrection was seen in many being convinced of the truths of Which these ape'st.]es. were speaking, being led to be- lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ. • ;4. "For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35. and laid them at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made into each, according Le Shy tine had need." The condition here spoken of, namely what we might, all a "community of goods." BY others it has been called "com- munism," The First Deacons 6: "Nosy i. i these days, when tjie number of the disciples was multi- plying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the He- brews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2. And the twelve called the multi- tude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. 3. Look ye out therefore. brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spir- it and of wisdom, whom we may arppoint over this business. 4. But we will continue stedfastly in Prayer, and in the ministry of the word. 5. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a mail full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Piochol us, and l icanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicol - wiz of proselyte of Antioch; 6. *hotel they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them., 7. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith," Not infrequently criticsm in the Christian Churcln'has brought about A.

Such was the situa- tion' we are now confronted with in the mother Church at Jerusalem. The Greek -speaking Jewish Christians complained that the wi- dows of Palestinian Hebrew Chris- tians were receiving more consid- eration by the Church than were the widows of their own group, a criticism that may have been well founded, though there was no de- liberate intention on the pert of any to slight the winnows here re- ferred to in the mattes of charity. The apostles wisely called a multi- tude of the disciples together, and laid down a great principle which It would have been well had the Church observed throughout the subsequent centuries. "It is not fit that. we should forsake the Word of God and serve tables." The early Church remedied the situation, by appointing seven men as deacons, to take care of these material as- pects of Church life, with the re- sult that the Word of God inereas- etr and the Church greatly multi- plied. The Tiniest Rose Is In Switzerland In the tiny hamlet of Ivlarbor- get in the Jura Mountain range, in Switzerland, flower lovers for many years have been growing perhaps the tiniest rose in the world. A colonel in the Swiss army, Roulet, procured one of these jewel-like plants and pre- sented it to Henri Correvon, the eminent Swiss rock -garden spe- cialist, who christened it "Rosa rouleti" and propagated it. The pigmy plants are little more than hand high. The exquis- ite semi -double flowers, produced from April to November, are bright rose pink. The blossom is so tiny that a bee stopping to call almost covers the rose. III RADIO RRTER By DAVE BOBBINSEPOIll SUMMER SEASON Broadcasting on this continent salutes the summer season next Sunday. On April 27th, the United States networks join the Canadian stations .in issuing program sched- ules set out in daylight saving time, and this, of course, will be the signal for an increasing num- ber of lighter musical features and other summer programs. Among the new OBC listings for the spring weather axe Lean Zuc- kert's orchestra who will be heard in Along Gypsy Trails Wednesdays at 10.00 p.m....

Soviet Flier Visits "Pole„ Veteran Lands Plane and Party on Arctic Floe For Scientific Study of tee, Water and Weather Conditions A Soviet aerial polar expedi- tion reported early in April that it had landed on an ice floe in the zone of the "inaccessible Pole," the point in the Arctic Ocean farthest from any land. The expedition, which began its hazardous flight by stages from Moscow March 8, spent several days studying ice, water and wea- ther conditions. The plane was piloted by I. I. Cherevichny, veteran Polar flier. He flew over the Northern sea route to Wrangell Island, then proceeded some 650 miles farther North. The position of the ice floe base was given as 81 degrees North Latitude, 18Q degrees Longitude, two degrees latitude and five degrees longitude from the "inaccessible Pole" and the point farthest North ever reached by a Soviet plane in the Eastern Arctic. Cherevichny was accoihpanied by six crew men and three scien- tists who were preparing for the spring opening of navigation over the Northern sea route. This latest achievement cred- ited to Soviet fliers is a sequel to their previous exploit in flying over the North Pole itself on May 21, 1987. After crossing the Pole a Russian pilot set his plane down 13 miles from the Pole and left a four -man expedition which was rescued nine months later after drifting to a point off Greenland. Gardening Article No. 8 Tender vegetables are quickly grown. A check by dry weather or anything else invariably causes woodiness. To eliminate such dan- ger experienced market gardeners push their plants along with fre- quent applications of commercial fertilizer. This must be applied carefully so as to be close to, but not actually touching, stems or roots. Watering, of course, will also keep vegetable gardens growing in dry weather, but where the luxury of a hose is not available one can keep things moving with cultiva- tion alone. This conserves mois- ture in two ways. It kills weeds that use up water and it checks evaporation by the sun. For this cultivation a small hoe is almost essential but there are other good tools, wonders around and under growing flowers and vegetables. A Dutch hoe which is ehoved along about an inch under the soil will cultivate a hundred feet or so of perennial bed in thirty minutes. For Special Locations Because one's garden is too shad- ed, too sunny or too wet, is no longer sufficient excuse for doing without a flower garden. There are, as a matter of fact, flowers to suit almost any location. !Some actually like damp soil, some dry, some full hot sun, others shady corners. Cer- tain types do best in deep, rich soil, while some actually ask the poorer sorts. Special likes and dis likes will be found mentioned in the better Canadian seed cata- usual in loeation it is advisable logues, and if your garden is un- to make special selections. Indeed there axe flowers to suit even the most indifferent of gardeners, some that really grow themselves regardless of neglect. Standardization Of Gasoline Here Oil Controller Announces Two Grades Only To Se Sold to Public Across Canada Standardization of gasoline is being placed in effect from coast to coast in Canada,* G. R. Cott- relle, Dominion oil controller, said in a recent interview at Calgary. "I want if possible, to work through the provincial govern- ments and I ani glad to say that almost every provincial body has agreed to gasoline standardiza- tion," Mr. Cottrelle said. Vnder the standardization plan only twogrades of gasoline will be sold to the general public-- premiumasoline, containing ethyl fluid, and a standard grade gaso- line. Standards are also being adopted for fuels used by farmers in tractors. Mr. Cottrelle said standardiza- tion permits control of anti- knock fluid (ethyl) imported from United States. It was im,., portant that such control be ex- ercised in the interest of Can dian money exchange.
