Lesson Title—Barnabas the Great - Hearted. Lesson Passage—Acts, 4:36, 37; 11; 19:30. Golden Text—Acta 11:24. In the first chapters of the Book of Acts we read about the foundation of the Christian church; and the first great revival of religion. Art out- standing feature of this revival was the liberality shown by these early Christians. There were many poor among them but all were not so.! The rich helped the poor, for were they not now all brethren in Christ? Should' they not then have one common purse and spend the time waiting and watching for the immediate return of their Lord? There was, however, nothing- com- pulsory about this communism as die see by the action of•Joses, surnamed Barnabas, who "having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet (4 : 37). Who was this "Son of Consolation?" The text tells us he was a Levite, a man ofCyprus, which was at that time a great stronghold and resort of the Jewish. race. At that time the chief industry of the island was mining and evidently Barnabas owned con- siderable property there; and by his generosity he at once brought him- self into prominence in the early church. His personal appearance too, no doubt, gave him distinction. By referring to the treatment given to Paul and Barnabas when on their first missionary tour (Acts 14:11-12) we gather that Barnabas was a man of fine presence, being called "Jupi- ter.'L Then, too, every thing we read of him shows him to have been well named by his associates. His speech and his advice were ever of a consol- ing, healing, comforting kind. His heart was stronger than his head, but this very weakness qualified him for the name "Son of Consolation." Acts 11 : 19-30. The outcome of the martyrdom of Stephen was a scattering of the members of the Jerusalem church. They went far and wide, all save the Apostles. There is an early tradi- tion that our Lord ordered them to stay in Jerusalem for twelve years after the Ascension, in order that everyone in the city should have a chance to hear the truth. The Jerusalem church was weak- ened by this dispersion but the blood of the martyr, Stephen, became the seed of the church, as St. Augustine put it: "If Stephen -had not prayed, the church would not have had St. Paul." These persecuted ones did not flee from their work; they entered, upon a wider field of labor going as far as Antioch in Syria, preaching to the Jews in every place where they came. They had wonderful success + in their preaching, for it was accom- panied by divine power. "And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord (v. 21). It could not be said that they turned from idols, for they were Jews, worshippers of the true God only. They turned from worshipping God in ceremony, from relying on the righteousness of eche law to relying on the »righteous- ness of Christ and worshipping God in spirit and in truth. -The news of the numbers convert- ed at Antioch reached the Apostles in Jerusalem and they at once sent the one whom, no doubt, they considered the best fitted to bear their, greetings to the, young church: "And they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch" (v. 22):' It was a long journey but it was for a worthy cause he went. Hie lovable nature made it easy for him to make his way among people and so observe their stays of living and give expres- sion to his convictions: "Who when he carne, and had seen the grave of God, was glad, and exhorted theta all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord" (v. 23). We exhorthet them thus again giving proof that his character and his sur- name fitted into each other. "For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. It was not just a natural disposition he had. He was sound in the faith and urged others tb cleave to his Lord with the result that much people were added unto the Lord" and so grew the early church. He was soon after despatch- ed on another errand—to seek Saul. This he did and brought him with him to Antioch, where they labored and taught for a whole year. So mightily grew the word of God that they earned for thernselvee the name Christians (. 26).

All the world was to know that they were followers of the Christ to obey His law and, to follow His example, thus fulfilling Scripture: "Thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name (Iso. 62.). Verses 27-30. During the year that Barnabas and Saul spent at Antioch there came prophets from Jerusalem to show them things to come. One of these Agabus, foretold a great famine which actually took place throughout the whole Roman Empire in the se- cond year of Emperior. , Clandus' reign. The Christiana took this warning to heart lied arranged to contribute to the relief of their breth- ren in Judea. This they did and, it being evidently a considerable -sum, they des tched their outstanding men, Bar bas and Saul, to carry it to the cid rs of the churah.at,Jerusa- lem. Let us, take notice that.

A Pioneer Missionary to China. The real relies ut of the Chinese in ancestor •worship. So long as in- cense smokes of the ancestral altar, so long will Christianity find id -an- cestor worship nuc of its hardest ob- stacles, and all the more ryo that its worship is-found,•d on the most sac- red of human relationships and ac- companied by the dread of the wrath of neglected spirits. Robert Morri- son, the pioneer of Protestant mis- sions in China, landed in 1807 at Canton, whose wholesale merchants were the only° recognized medium of China's communication with the out- side-world.' ut- sideworld.' The spirit in which Mor- rison went to the attack of that co- lossal fortress of heathendon was finely shown en itis way out in the answer to a New York shipping ag- ent: "And so, Mr. Morrison, you really expect you will make an im- pression on the idolatry of the great Chinese Empire?" "No, sir, I expect God will," was his decided reply. For a time he suffered many privations. The directors of the London Mission- ary Society had suggested that Mor- rison should prepare a translation of the Bible and a dictionary which would be helpful for succeeding work- ers. What a task for to attempt in a language which has no alphabet but thousands upon thousands of signs or word -pictures to represent the id- eas or things to be expressed! He was, however, able in 1812 to issue, a Chinese grammar, by 1813 to trans- late the New Testament and by 1823 the whole Bible and his great dic- tionary. This last was published at a cost of $75,000 -by the East India Company, to which Morrison had been appointer Chinese translator, an -offiee of much importance because it HURON NOTES —Mr. William Dore and Mr. and Mrs. Herb Dore, of Wingham met with a rather serious automobile ac- cident on Monday evening near Grand Bend. They were motoring to Sarnia with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dore when. an automobile from Clinton dashed around a corner and in an effort to not run into another car it was meet- ing, drove into the side of the Dore car and almost completely demolish- ed it, Fortunately no one was ser- iously hurt but all of the occupants were more or less badly bruised and shaken up. —On Wednesday morning, August 8th, a very pretty wedding took place at the Methodist parsonage, Wir g - ham when David McLennan, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John McLen- nan, of Grey Township, and Rete Gertrude Walker, only daughter of Mr. and M-rs. George Walker, of Turnberry, were united in marriage. Atter the ceremony, which was per- formed by the Rev. Charles E. Cragg, the happy couple left on a motor trip to Mitchell and points south. On their return they will reside in Grey township. —Zion Evangelical Lutheran church of Dashwood, Ont., celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its organiza- tion last Sunday August 12th.

Tests made at the Experimental Station, Kentville, go to show that it is quite profitable for one to grow his own timothy seed. This may be done by seeding timothy at the rate of 10 pounds per acre when seeding down. Or, if 8 pounds of timothy, 8 pounds of red clover and 2 pounds of alsike are seeded, a good even stand of clear timothy will be secured the second year after seeding. It is seldom that there is not a fairly clean stand of timothy somewhere on a farm; such area should be reserved for seed purposes. It does not mean a great loss of hay as --the straw af- ter threshing is of fair quality and can be fed unless badly weathered. It was found that a seeding. of tim,-- othy alone in 1920 gave in 1921 280 pounds of timothy seed, and 2,220 pounds of straw per acre after threshing. The harvesting was done August 4th, and as the season was drythe seed ripened rapidly. This same area produced 157 pounds of seed and 2,475 pounds of hay per acre in 1922. A considerable amount of other grasses, particularly red top, was noticeable in the 1922 cutting. An adjoining area seeded in 1920 with the clover and timothy mixture men- tioned above yielded 186 pounds of timothy seed and 3,052 pounds of timothy straw per acre in 1922. This seed was of particularly good quality and much better than the seed from the area in timothy seed for two years. The practice here is to leave the timothy that is to be cut for seed standing until it is nicely filled and to cut with a binder. The sheaves are stooked neatly and allowed to stand for two or three weeks,•or until the heads shell readily. It is then taken in and threshed in a threshing mill or with a flail. -It sometimes happens that bir4e, cause a great loss from shelling in which case the sheaves should be taken inside to a loft and allowed to stand until ithey can be threshed.
