"They were all with one accord in one place." When their Master was present with them the disciples fre- quently disagreed and strove as to which should- be the greatest. Since His death these things were forgot- ten, and because they spent much time in prayer and supplication they I were being prepared for the corning of the Holy Ghost - To -day where brethren dwell to- gether in unity, there it is that the Lord commends His blessing." - The manner of the coming of the Holy Ghost -it came as a sound from heaven_ It was the sound. of a wind, a mighty, rushing wind.' Jesus told Nicodemus about the coleing of the Spirit saying, "The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou heaeest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every pne that is born of the Spirit" (John 3.8). "1t filled all the house where they were sitting." Dr. Hammond ithus describes what they saw: There was an apps of something like flaming fire, lighting on every One of them and dividing asunder, thus forming the resemblance of tongues with that part of them -that was next their heads, divided or cloven-" It was the fulfilment of the saying of John the Baptist -"He shall bap- tize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." Fire was frequently used as a syfabol in Oki Testament times as when a coal of fire touched Isa- iah's lips indicating his preparation to go as a messenger of God. Dr. Lightfoot says, in reference to the coming off the Spirit in this form "that the dividing of tongues at Ba- bel (Gen. 11.9). was the casting off of the heathen, for when they had lost) the language ig which alone God was spoken of and "breached, they utterly lost the knowledge of God and,relig- ion and fell into idolatry. But now, after about two thousand years, God, by another dividing of tongues, re- stores the knowledge of Himself to the nations." The immediate_. effect of the com- ing of the Spirit -not only the dis- ciples but all present in the house the number of names together were -about one hundred and twenty (1:15) were endowed with miraculous pow- ers for the preaching of the gospel. Jesus, before His ascension, bade His disciples go and teach all nations and now they were being felly qualified for that task- They were unlettered men, but here God shows that hav- ing made man's" mouth He can give him power of utterance when He so chooses. They began to speak with other tongues to the people assem- bled from all parts of the country. Using their new power, many listen- ers were converted and showed their allegiance by being baptized. verses 37-42. The Meaning of Con- _ version. "Now when they heard this they were pricked in their heart and Said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized, every one of yon, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

This letter reads: "You will never know the deep ap- preciation I feel for your thought of me, and I thank you so much for my book. Naturally we feel secluded and as outcasts, in a way, and no one knows how we appreciate the slight- est attention from any one and how• overjoyed we are when visitors come. When Dr. Cousins, our chapjain, an- nounces the approaching visit of any one, our faces brighten at once, and when the day comes, we are like country people going to a tent show -always ahead of time.

As he was nearly a third of a mile away and as all. dogs are nearsighted he held his wit1e- brimmed hat in the gesturing hand to make its motion the, more easily seen. The puppy at once caught the sig- nal. Wheeling, he was off at top speed toward a bunch of sheep that were straying toward the near - by highway. In a straight line he tore after them, a line which, it seemed to me, must cut deep into the flock. But the dog was a better judge of direction than I. Without swerving, his run brought him close alongside the ragged right flank of the bated. And, never slackening or shifting his pace, he drove the ragged edge into a close formation; did the same on the left side and then, whizzing to the front of the huddled sheep, turn- ed them neatly and without scaring them. Scarcely was this done when a second and then a third bunch or sheep needed a like reversal. And in a few minutes he had the entire mast of more than twenty-one hun- dred neatly rounded up and grazing again where they belonged. How many men would it have tak- en -and how long would it have tak- en them -to achieve that single task, a feat by which one half-grown col- lie had turned back a stampede and rounded up bunch after bunch of Strays? And at the present scale of day wages how many dollars an hour were that furry puppy and his canine comrades elsewhere on the range saving for the sheep king they serv- ed? His work for the moment done, the puppy trotted over to me to make friends. After which, as the sun was hot and as his run had made him pant, he sought -out at once the shade of my body, and stretched himself in that shapeless patch of shadow for momentary coolness and rest. They Used to Know Poverty In Brave Days of Old. John Howard Payne, author of "Home, Sweet Home," did not get the $125 promised him for this song, of which more than 100,000' copies were sold within eighteen months.

Long Ago" just about 100 years ago; sold the verses for $1.50 to a country newspaper, and others took the prVilt of the song.

(The Continent). THE, MAMMOTH BRONZE• THE SHEEP DOG I The Bronze turkey is the best all- round variety in the opinion of most breeders, as shown by its great popu- larity and thewide expanse of ter- ritory over which it is raised by the thousands. Tfitte breed was develop- ed by crossinethe wild North Amer- ican birds with the Black turkey. The "Black" variety may refer to speci- mens selected' from the wild flocks or it may refer to the Blacks reared so long in England and known as the Black Norfolk. It is said that this variety has been greatly improved by crossing with the Mammoth Bronze. Going still farther back E. Richard- son of California, a writer of turkey history, says the turkey was intro- duced into England from Itexico by Cortez and his followers, about the year 1524, fide years after the first specimens had been sent -to Spain by the discoverer and general made • BABY CAME I Was 'Greatly Benefited by Tatting Lydia E Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound Sydenham,, Ont, -"I took your medicine before my baby was born,and it was a great help to me as I was very sly until I had started to take itI ust felt as th I was tired out all Lite time and have weak, faint spe1Is. erves would bother 'ileum. til d glittle rest, night or day, I told by a'friend to take Lydia E Pinkham's vegetable Compound, and 1 only took a few bottles and it helped me wonderfully.,1 world recommend it to any woman. ram doing whet I can to recommend this good medicate.

They were grazing in semi -scattered groups over a thou- sand acre -stretch of G. h. Wilcox's Tehama County range in Northern California. The huge meadow was rolling, here and there. and then for scores of acres' it was well nigh flat enough to play pool on. Thus many hundred sheep were in view and many hundred more were invisible behind the crests of undulations. At one end of the tract stood a single herder, half invisible by rea- son of distance and broken ground. A' loud -honking automobile chug-- ged past a far corner of field Instantly a bunch of foolthers took fright and surged off at top speed. Other groups of the gray - white idiots oined the runaways. Titg stampede headed for an unfenced ex- panse of ground, a quarter of a mike away, land • where new-sprotr grain was beginning to show em, like beyond the gray green of vast 'pasture. Now in five minutes that avalanche of sheep could well have wrecEed the entire crop -if they had been able to reach it. But they were not able. Without moving a step the herder made a careless gesture with one hand. Instantly something 'small and very dark flashed away from beside him and made off at express -train speed after the vaniehing'sheep. Like a furry catapult the tiny pur- suer flew. And I saw it was a collie pup, scarcely half grown., ! On that one fluffy youngster depended the fate of a promising crop. No hu- man being could have travelled fast enough on foot to save it. The puppy did net bear down di- rectly on the seep. lie sped at a narrow angle froth- their nearest (tank. And presently he was abreast of them. Out of sight, down the side of e dip of ground, vanished the nine - ways and their 'baby guardian. For a minute or so 'the hunt was"in- visible from where I stood.1The. other bunches of grazing sheep, here and there, looked'up from their desultory meal in a certain unehsiness, and be- gan to mill and stray. Sheep can be. counted on to. cause the maximum of bother, you know, with the minimum of excuse. Then, over the edge of the rise, •reaptleared the vanguard of the vanished runaway band.

Having done thiht they scurry to shelter in the "bomb - proofs" in the centre of the mine - The interval' while the time fuses; burn seems an age (in reality it let only one and a half minutes.) One feels that the slower lighters ,will not. gain shelter in time. Then one a ..- plosion, another, and then a continu- ous roar. Rock and earth flu intm the air, sometimes almost up to th surface, reminding one of a rather - ragged artillery barrage. The famous Cullinan diamond„ named after the chairman' of the company, was found in the .Premier - mine, and, in spite of its great size. over 3,000 carrats, it was only part - of a still larger stgpe. The others piece, broken off, has never beers found. The mine has had a' remarkable history. When diamonds were first found on this isolated farm in 1902;, the property was hawked round for• sale at $475,000. Now the cash as- sets exceed 'three-quarters of a mil- lion; more than $115,000,000 worth► of diamonds have been extractedl from the mine and its life still ap- pears unlimited. The capital re- mains at $400,000, for all develope- ment has been paid for out of profits•. Stores on hand are taken into the balance at 50 cents, and diamonds on, hand at 25 cents. A remarkable record. LARGEST HOLE IN THE WORLD The most interesting diamond mine in the world is not at Kimberley, but near Pretoria -the Premier mine, "the largest hole in the world." The great open Kimberley mine can still be seen, but the actual work- ing there, as elsewhere in that dis- trict, has now to take place under- ground, as the diamond -bearing `blue' clay nearer the surface has been ex- hausted. The Premier is still an open mine. It is an enormous gaping hole in the middle of the veld, half a mile long and a quarter of a mile broad, with its floor four hundred feet lower than the surrounding country. St. Paul's cathedral, London, could be dropped into it, and no one i few hundred yards from the edge would know where it had gone. Standing on the 'brink of its pre- cipitous sides and looking at the hundreds of workers far below, I felt as if I were watching a scene from Dante's "Inferno" -this partic- ular hell, I imagine, being reserved by extremists Labor leaders for the shareholders, writes the Hon. E. G. K ollys.' Down below us, looking like busy ants, tiny black figures were shov- elling the blasted "blue" ground and pushing about small trucks, contain- ing the earth ready for crushing, on the network of rails which lead to the tunnel up which the tracks are dragged to the surface workings. A swinging cage takes one down to the floor of the mine. There one has a more realistic view of the work than the impressive but somewhat unreal one from the top. I experienced 'rather a thrill' at finding myself walking on the slatey-blue earth Which actually, contain-; the diamonds. But then I realized that in every hundred ,,of these truck -loads, each weighing a ton, only about twenty carrate of diamonds would be found. When -I was there not much work was being done, on account of the slump in the diamond trade. In prosperous times there are shifts working throughout the twenty-four hours, some of; the most powerful searchlights made being placed at night round the top edge of the mine. The most impressive moment is at blasting time, which takes place every afternoon to loosen the ground for carting away on the following .day. A red danger flag is hoisted in a prominent place. All the workers come out of the mine except those TOO MANY CHANCES The country is face to face with'ao serious problem. There are too many chances being taken and too many people being injured because of the - chance -taking habit. The motorist who habitually takes chances is rea- sonably sure to be involved ultimately - in an accident. The same general' rule applies to the pedestrian. The - worker in industry who has not time,. or thinks he has not time to be care- ful, is hastening the day . of his in jury, and the employer who prefers to. take a chance rather than provide safeguards for his dangerous machin- ery, is inviting injury to his men and increased compensation costs for him- self and other employers in his class - Too many chances are being taken. in a country that needs to conserve all its forces, but more particularly' the lives of its citizens. There is at saying that "The chance -taker is the - accident -maker,' • and this has been, abundantly prove by the history of accidents in ind ;try in this country - On the other h std, there is' a record,. of a foreman in a wire plant in Ham- ilton showing sixty years of service;. with never an accident to himself,. nor a serious accident to anyone ire his department. The reason he ad- vances is, "being careful." It sounds simple, but sometimes it is a most. diflicult role to play. The toll of ac- cidents in and out of industry, how- ever, quite justifies more attention to, care and caution, and the curbing of' the "Take -a -Chance" spirit. 1GLEYS Take It home to Oaf kids Have a packet in your pocket for an ever -ready treat.
