Acts 16:9. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—There is much differ- ence of opinion among scholars it regard to the exact dates for the different events of Paul's life, but we can assume, with eome degree of accuracy, that the events of this lesson occurred be- tween A.D. 51 and 54. Mace. Antioch was located in the northern part of Syria; Derbe and Lystra were in the great area we now know as Asia Minor, with Troas on the western coast of this then flourishing part of the Roman Empire. The cities of Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea were in northern Greece, known as Macedonia. Athens and Core inth were located in Greece pro- per, south of these cities just named. In this lesson we find a won- derful illustration of a man who, clay and night, was continually occupied with the glorious work of bringing Christ to the vast multitudes of men and women in the great cities of the Roman Em- pire. To accomplish what Paul here achieves, it is necessary for one to believe in the need of the human heart for the gospel which he is preaching, to have an ex- perience of the redeeming power of this gospel, and to be yielded in one's personal life to the will of God. Paul's Great Work Begins How long Paul remained in the city of Antioch at the close of his first missionary journey, we do not know. Our lesson opens with the Apostle beginning pre- parations for the second great missionary journey of his life. He desired to revisit the churches he had founded on his previous journey. A map should be useful ere in following Paul from this point to the end of the lesson. Paul chose Silas to accompany him. Acts 16:6. "And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; 7. and when they were eorne over against Mysia,' they "a-apiereauraaeatreasurrexen atieiii` not; 8. and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Mace- donia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Mace- donia, and help us." While at Troas it would seem that no preaching was allowed. Just as PauI's calling of Timothy proved to that young man the great turn- ing point of his life, coming so unexpectedly to him, so Iikewise in the life of Paul did God send an experience which was to change his entire program, the throwing open of a door, as it were, into a vast new field—Eur- ope—which up to now apparently Paul had not been seriously con- sidering as a field for immediate missionary activity. Forth Into Macedonia 10. "And when he had seen the vision. straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, con- cluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them. 11. Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day fol- lowing to Neapolis." Inasmuch as Luke is writing the Book of Acts, he must have been with the apostle Paul in all those places where he uses the pronoun "we," We do not know where Paul first met Luke. It probably was here in the city of Troas. If St. Luke were a Macedonian and had been speaking to the traveller he en- counteredabout affairs in the province at the other side of the Aegean, it is easy to understand how the vision cavae to St. Paul that night, 12, "Arid from thence to Phil- ippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony; and we were In this city tarrying certain days. 13. And on the Sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer and we sat down, and snake unto the women that were come together. 14. And a certain woman named Ly- dia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that wor- shipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul, 15. And when she was baptized, and her house- hold, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she eon- rtrained us."

This means, translated in very personal terms, that more of our friends are getting married, which means in turn, more entertaining for brides- to-be. Since the summer is still the most popular time for weddings, any time In the summertime is the time for showers. It's net hard to decide on what kind of a shower to have, cup and saucer, stocking, kitchen, linen or miscellaneous, be- cause most brides need almost everything. When you've decided on the shower and invited the guests, then it's time to think about entertaining. Bridge, the type played at showers, is rn excellent way of passing the evening—it al- lows for plenty of conversation. Then comes the happy concluion of the evening—the refreshments. Dainty should be the keynote for table decorations and for the food, too. A color scheme for the table and fox whatever you serve is a good idea. Pastel green, blue or mauve crepe paper makes lovely decorations and candles in a har- monizing shade can be used to light the table. Small rolled sandwiches, (asparagus or watercress are nice), toe cream, cake and coffee make a simple and sufficient menu.

Paul always made inquiries where his fellow -Israelites worshipped. He was concerned primarily, wherever he went, all of his life, with souls of men, and he hunted out men and women in their hours of worship, that he might . speak to them about the Lord Jesus Christ. One good thing about Paul he was not seeking some new religion; he was pro- claiming a divine revelation. While in the city of Philippi, Paul of course vigorously preached, and when Paul preached things happened. The whole city would soon know that someone had come into their midst with a gospel that could break the power of sin, with a message that could say.e men, with -a divine anointing which in many cases enabled the one so preaching to perform miracles. and corn syrup in top cit double boiler, beating with rotary egg beater until thoroughly mixed, Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constantly with rotary egg beater, and cook 10 minutes, or until the frosting will stand in peaks Add coloring to hot frosting to give a delicate shell -pink tint.

FARM FORUM (A Department conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, assisted by various other members of the faculty.) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. We run our herd in a fairly large pasture, part of which is natural pasture and the other part is brought under cultivation periodically in the rotation. In a fairly moist year we get super- abundance of pasture towards the end of June, but it fades off in July and, early August. Have you any suggestions? "J C.—Went- worth Co." A. To take advantage of the natural growth habit of grass, steps must be taken to utilize the suggestion to better istrlute this"' `' is to limit cattle to a small section of the regular pasture when they are first turned out and force them to graze this portion closely, This allows the remainder of the regular pasture to get Inure growth, and after taking the cattle off this first pastured sec- tion it produces a substantial and early aftermath. Two problems are serious when rotationally grazing pasture; fencing and supplying water. With the introduction of the elas- tic fence the fencing problem is partially solved, as it provides an efficient and inexpensive fence that can be gaickly erected and readily moved. Its use in pasture management is highly recommend- ed, but do not use barbed wire when fencing the milk -cow pas- ture. The providing of a satis- factory supply of water is largely an individual farm problem, and this will have to be worked out by each dairyman. Pasture management in June is the problem of utilizing as much as possible of the best -quality feed with the milking section of the herd. It is often advisable to divide the herd into two groups, one the milking cows and the other made up of dry cows and heifers. Give the milking cows the fresh, luxuriant pasture, and follow them after the best is eaten off with the non -lactating animals. In this way the milking cows get the choice feed. Another important factor in utilizing peak of production in June is to have the cows at the peak of lactation when the grass is abundant. This means spring calving and breeding in midsum- mer. Wateh carefully during the summer to see that the cows are in calf, Do not take chances fiAoWiIPonTEi Ey DAVE ROBBINS WELL WITCHER Thomas Goddard, a 70 -year-old well -witches, was responsible for a change in the location of the new transmitter building of CITY at Dixie, The new building is a short distance west of the site chosen by the architects and this Is how it happened, according to H. M. O'Neill, engineer in charge of the job: "Engineers are profoundly skep- tical, not one of them will admit that he has faith in, a well>witcher, but the first man 1' had out here after the plans. were put in my hands, was Mr. Goddard. I gave him a five dollar bill and he took his forked stick in hand and com, nienced walking around. Pretty soon he said "Here is the stream and here's where you'll strike water at about 80 feet." "We did strike water at 80 feet and we had an overflowing well at 90, and today our building has a first-rate well in the basement. We are over the identical spot incli.eat• ed by Goddard. He did it with a forked apple wood twtg, but we got what we wanted and I am not going to argue about well-witchers. "It's quite true we moved the building 45 feet west of the spot chosen in the original specifications so that 'rte could get in on the well."
