With pains and 11eadaehe4 Golden Text—Rev. 2:10. Among the early converts were Grecians as well as Hebrews and in the first verses of chapter 6 we see these two factions clashing. The spe- cial ground of complaint was a real or fancied neglect of the widows of Hellenists or Greeks in the daily min- istrations of food and assistance. The Apostles met these complaints by summoning a meeting of the disciples at which they pointed out that the day had come when they should hand over to others the routine task of ap- portioning charity, and devote them- selves entirely to more serious and important duties. They therefore bade them elect seven men of blame- less character, wise and spiritually - minded to form what we would call a Board of Managers. The advice was followed and among those chosen and set apart by the laying on of hands and prayer was Stephen. Verse 8.—Stephen's Character.

Price Fred W, igg, Sealirth famy, Stephen was stoned for being his disciple and his worshipper; thirty years after the death of Stephen, his deadliest opponent died also for the same holy faith.—(Condensed from Farrar's Life of St. Paul). Up to this time the name of Stephen had not been mentioned in Christian history. We know nothing about his conversion. We know much of his faith, although it is gathered from the record of a single speech and a single day -- the last speech he ever uttered—the last day of his mortal life. He stood revealed as a man "full of faith and of the Iloly Ghost." After his appointment as a Deacon he became the most prominent of them all and he stood on a level with the Apostles in the power of working wonders among the peo- ple. Verses 9-15.—His Last Speech. His official position as Deacon of the new society gave him many op- portunities of speaking of the nature and extent of the Kingdom of Christ. What is was that took him to the syn- agogues of these foreigners—Grecian Jews, we are told. ' However, while there he got into conversation with those present. His earnest words aroused opposition and disputes arose. Listening to him and no doubt taking a part in the controversy was a young man who had received his training from Gamaliel but found in Stephen a superior in argument for we are told: "They were not able to resist the wis- dom and the spirit by which he spoke. They then resorted to violence for the suppression of reason. Their mater- ial was at hand. They excited the people, hired witnesses and hurried Stephen before the Sanhedrim. The witnesses based their statements upon truth for it is certain that if Stephen had not used the very expressions with which they charged him he had used others not unlike them. While the witnesses had been delivering their testimony the face of the ac- cused was a study and as they fin- ished all present "saw • his face as it had been the face of an angel." On being asked by the high priest: "Are these things so?" Stephen be- gan the speech, which is one of earl- iest, as it is one of the most interest- ing, documents of the Christian Church. 0 Must embody good Fabrics, good Tailoring and good Style.

SOME NOTES ON HOG GRADING AND TRADE IN WILTSHIRE SIDES Substantial progress was made in Canada's bacon industry during 1924 in regaining a portion of her lost volume in Britain's imports. The benefits to be derived from such im- provement.cala hardly be exaggerated. Prosperity, however, has not accom- panied all parties to the trade. The farmer had totake relatively low prices for his dock, compared with those of manufactured deeds From a producer's view, the one bright spot in an otherwise gloomy situation has been the direct benefits from the premium'sreceived on select bacon hogs Four hundred and sixty thous- and select bacon hogs, or an increase of 25 per cent. over 1923, is a good showing for 1924, and indicates that nearly one million dollars has been paid in premiums to the farmers. The ratio of selects for 1924-14.52 per cent.—compares favorably with 14.98 per cent. for 1923. Though not an increase, it is almost unchanged, which, in face of heavy production— three and one-sixth millions in 1924— is mosteencouraging. Of the five and three-quarter mil- lions graded in two years,about three- quarters of a million, just over one- seventh, were select bacon; six out of every ten were thick smooths, while the remainder included eight other classes of the grading scheme. Before condemning or approving the grading policy, one must note an increase in receipts during 1924 of 21.8 per cent. over 1923, which was also a year of heavy production. While this may appear a liquidation, there is good evidence that it only affects those farmers who are not swine husbandmen. Grain prices during 1924 were just enough out of line with the hog market to commend the farmer, producing the non -premium hog, for selling rather than feeding. This direct sale of grain is evident by the volume of immature and unfinished hogs which have been marketed since the new grain became avail- able. Hog grading results in 1924 show for Canada as a whole: 29.28 per cent. thick smooths, 14.52 per cent. selects, 12.7 per cent. shop hogs, and 13.5 per cent. others. The conference at Ottawa on No- vember 2nd and 3rd, 1921, called to formulate immediate increase in the number of bacon hogs, was represent- ative • of producers, packers, Provin- cial Governments and Dominion Live Stock branch. All interests represented at this conference agreed that the future of the Cana- dian hog industry depended upon the production in Canada of the se- lect bacon hog, and declared them- selves unreservedly for the principle that a minimum premium of ten per cent. be paid for hogs suitable for the production of select bacon. !Swine grading has been operating since October 30th, 1922, at all pub- lic stock yards. and at packing plants having a slaughtering volume of 50,- 000 0;000 or more hogs. The graders appointed and paid by the Dominion Live Stock Branch have executed a record for an ac- tual market classification by having handled to date well over six million hogs. The personnel of the grading staff has undergone little pr no change since the inception ,of the policy. Bacon, unlike fresh meat and fowl, has no season of heavy de- mand. This will be better under- stood when it is known that British imports are very evenly spread over the fifty-two weeks of the year, and the average imports of bacon am- ount to twelve million pounds a week, or exactly one-half of the to- tal Canadian exports of bacon for the entire twelve months before the WORLD MISSIONS The Foreign Mission Convention of the United States and Canada is now among the great events that have come and gone. The influence of its spirit, its,lessons, its enthusiasms and its fellowship will surely continue. Not alone in the _sphere of Foreign Missions will the effect of its inspira- tion he felt but every part of our service will be enriched through strengthened faith and renewed cour- age. The days of the Convention were days of epoch making experi- ence in the hearts of all who were privileged to attend. People came the ends of the earth to talk of the affairs of. -the Kingdom of Heaven. Every country laid its tribute at the foot of the throne of the King of Kings—India, Korea, Japan, Bur'ina, China, Turkey, Arabia, Africa, France, Holland, Sweden. Britain, the Islands of the Sea, South America, the Unit- ed State's and Canada—men and wo- men, differing in color and in creed, but one 1iF aim and purpose, one in love and seltvice, one in Christ and in the desire for the supremacy of His reign to earth's remotest part. (Missionary Messenger.) Chap. 7:54-60.—His Last Hour. In this speech He tracel the history of God's chosen people but they list- ened with apparent indifference so that He exclaimed in wrath: "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye." This stirred them into ac- tion, filled their hearts with hatred so that they "gnashed on Him with their teeth." From those hateful faces He turned His eyes !heavenward and there He beheld a wonderful vision. It seemed as though He wished to share it with them and so He spoke to them saying, "Behold, I see the heavens op- ened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God." These words just enraged them the more and they took the law into their own hands and then and there dragged him off to be stoned outside the city gate. His thoughts were evidently occupied with the sad scene of Calvary for it has almost in the lords of his Master he exclaimed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit," and again, dragging his bruised and bleeding body to his knees, he prayer. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." The writer ends the bloody tragedy with the beautiful elpression, "lie fell asleep." Stephen was dead, and it might well have seemed that all the truth which was to be the glory and the strength of Christianity had diled with him. But the deliverance of the Gen. tiles, and their free redemption by the blood of Christ, were truths too glor- ious to be quenched.

It has shown many farmers, who would not previously believe, that bacon hoge are more economi- cally produced than the thick, lard type, and that it is not formers nor promoters of breeds who set the standard for bacon hogs, but_ the consumers of bacon—the unseen millions of them. Perth and Oxford Corinties have been using the local] packing plants at Brantford and Stratford as a means of weeding out low quality boars. A list of sires is kept at each plant—by the official graders --who record to the credit of such sire the grade of his stock when marketed. These lists are consistently checked up, and, according to Mr. Hugh Duff, Official' Grader at Stratford, inferior boars are soon spotted and replaced. In Perth County, the boars of Downie Township are get- ting 47 per cent. select bacon stock. The boars of other townships, how- ever, are much lower. The importance of the bacon in- dustry has been urged on Canadian producers for over forty years. In the report of the Ontario Agricul- tural College Commission, published in 1881, are passages of present - clay application. The late Wm. Davies, in his evi- war. A recent letter from Mr. S. E. Percival, Assistant Emigration -Gen- eral for Ontario, commenting on the Danish methods of bacon culture, with their astounding. 80 per cent. select quality, contains a previously untold economy. Denmark's fifteen thousand five hundred square miles, with two and three-quarter million populace, makes it not only possible but good policy to eat at home all inferior quality products. The economic situation in Ireland, though not identical, is very similar. These two countries are Canada's chief competitors. Since we have not the populace to use up our low quality sides of ba- con, much of this inferior product has to be exported, though frequent- ly at a loss. This, probably, more than anything else, counts for the erratic quotations on Canadian Wiltshires in Britain. Twenty to thirty per cent.- by weight of every Iive hog goes as waste, when it is slaughtered. Sixty per cent. of the live hog weight is Wiltshire possibility. A very fat and over finished hog dresses a higher percentage than a bacon hog. With the fat hog there is always a heavy loss in trimmings. A Wiltshire . Side is a trade term for the shape of a cut. It is prac- tically one-half of the carcass, with- out the head and feet. A Select Wiltshire measures twenty-eight in- ches or -over from aitch bone to first rib at shoulder end. The high- priced tits from this side are loin, rump end of hafn` and belly. English grades of Wiltshire are: 1. Leanest --Thickness of back fat 114 inches. a Lean ----Thickness of back fat, 13 inches. 3. Prime•--'thickiies's 'of back fat, 2 inches. These terms have .gro'arfi out of a trade custom, and ittust bo accepted as thea' are.

I would here guard against 'the' idea that we require a thin hog, While we want it lean,. we want it well fed; a great deal .of, fat instead of being an advantage is a serious disadvantage." A Mr. Hall, of Liverpool, who also gave evidence, explained the Eng- lish bacon preference. "Length is desirable in a pig because when you get length you get well mixed bacon." Any_ system of feeding a bacon hog that tends towards the too early laying on of fat and prevents the maximum growth of bone and muscle during the first four months tends toward the development of a thicker, shorter carcass, and away from the type that will make into a lean or leanest side.. Access to charcoal, soft coal, earth, lime, bone meal, etc., has noticeably increased scale, length and development of bone. - Farmer producers are most likely to get the right bacon type among well selected Yorkshires, Tamworths, or the bacon subsection of the Berk- shire breed. The abandonment of some lines of breeding now followed, bused on wrong ideas, is necessary if best results in bacon production are to be secured. t�I:u1., Jr,7 Internal and External Pains - are promptly relieved by De THOMAS' ECLECTR@C 01 L THAT IT HAS BEEN SOLI) FOR NEARLY FIFTY YEARS • AND 1S TO -DAY A GREATER SELLER THAN EVER BEFORE IS A TESTIMONIAL THAT SPEAKS FOR 1T8 NUMEROUS CURATIVE QUALITIES.' eZt Ztpays to use MARTIN$EN0UR 100% PURE PAINT & GARNISHES For EvecyPucpose—ForeverySacface Write to Head Office.
