LESSON FOR OCTOBER 15th Lesson Topic—Paul in Antioch. Lesson passage—Acts 11:19-30 ; 12:25. Golden Test—Romans 1:16. Yaul in his epistle to the Galatians gives a more detailed account of his movements after his meeting with Jesus an the road to Damascus and his reception ._by Ananias and the disciples, than we get in Luke's Acts 'of the Apostles. After his return from his retirement in Arabia, strengthened in body and renewed in mind and spirit, Saul joined himself to the disciples which were at Dam- ascus. "And straightway he preach- ed Christ in the synagogue, that he is the Son of God." The fiery zeal of the persecutor burned into the minds and -hearts of fhoee who Iistened so that they were amazed at his convincing power. They, however, -were not ready to receive the message from him and they turned to persecute the one per- secutor so that he fled from the city and made his way back to Jerusalem. 'When he left, his mind was filled with ',visions of captive Christians re- turning with him. Now three years afterwards• ere see him trying to join the company of disciples still there. They couldnot believe ,his conversion was sincere and so were, sh'r of tak- ing him in until Barnabas; the large - hearted "Son of Consolation," stood sponsor for him. There, toe, his fiery 'zeal brought down persecution upon himself and again he went his way. 'He is next heard of in Caesarea and later he went to Tarsus, his na- tive city. In to -day's lesson we go back to the early days of the infant church. When its members fled terror-strick- en from Jerusalem they carried with them. far and wide the good tidings of the Jerusalem above. As was na- tural they at first spoke to 'J'ews only, but some who went as far as Antioch began to seek out the Grecians there. Many believed their message and be- came disciples. Word of this at length reached .Jerusalem and roused eueh interest that the Church deter - rained' to send one of their number to watch What was going on. The • large -hearted, wise Barnabas was chosen for this w ork and his arrival proved a great blessing. This new church, which was so largely- com- posed of Gentiles, was destined to be a fresh starting -point in the career of Christianity. When Barnabas arrived he saw a great work was being done and he rejoiced. The, numbers increased so rapidly that he began to feel the need of a colleague and his thoughts went out to Saul whom he felt to be a man of superior ability and more un- flinching conviction who for the time being had been lost sight of, Accord- ingly he set out to seek for hien. The invitation was accepted, and thus for the second time did .Barna'bas secure Saul for the work of,„ the Christian ministry. We would quote here in full the word of Tartar in his Life of Paul with reference to Barnaba's Choice •of Saul: 'To his self-effac- ing nobleness is due the honor of re- cognizing, before they had yet been revealed to others, • the fiery vigor, the indomitable energy, the splendid, courage, the illuminated and. illum- inating intellect, which were destined ,to spend themselves in the high en- deavor to ennolble, and evangelize the world." Thus for a whole year there two disciples, worked together in Antioch enlarging the Christian Church. It seems to have been free from moles- tation and it may well have been the happiest year in the life of Saul. The only recorded incident is the...visit of certain brethren from Jerusalem, of whom one, named Agabus, prophesied the near occurrence of a general fam- ine. The warning note which he sounded' quickened the sympathy' of the Christians there for themother church so that a liberal eontribution was sent by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. When they reached Jer- usalem they found that not only dis- tress but a new out -break; of. persecu- tion had befallen the 'Church. On their return to Antioch they had a re- cruit with them in the person of John Mark. WORLD MISSIONS A man came back from Europe and brought a lot of souvenirs. Among them he had a match box that was phosphorescent • outside, so that it glowed in the (lark. He said, "I will take that home to my wife." 'When he got home he showed her all the things. he had bought, and saved that match hoz for the last.' Then he turned out the light,—and the thing didn't glow. She said: "What is the joke?" iHe said: "It ought to do what it doesn't do." And he added, "It, is just another of their old swindles! They do take us Americans in when we get over there. He sold me that thing at a high price because of what MAKES IRONING EASIER Cuts Ironing Time One -Third t .�- iimonaw immommis Ail mom '-/-/ at)IIIN Every woman owes k to herself to have one of these irons that saves her health, strength and gives her more 4e/sure time.

The next day she was looking over all the things he brought, and she noticed on the match box some fine lettering in Fr'e'nch. She could not read French, but she found some one who could, and learned that it read: "If you want me to shine at night, keep me in the sunlight through the day!" So she put it in the sunshine all day long. W'hen her husband came home that night, she said: "I want to show you a present that my husband brought me from Par- is." And she turned out the light, and the box just .blazed away. He said: "How did you do it?" She said: "I found out the secret." And after awhile she told him. But she told him a good deal more than she knew. for if you are going to shine in dark places, you have got to stay constantly in the sunlight, you have got to stay where the sunlight of God strikes you.—From The Re- cord of Christian Work. Italy and Wool Italy, almost alone among the principal wool -consuming countries of Europe, says 'the Empire Market- ing Board, has been able during the present economic depression to con- solidate the enormous expansion' of its wool textile industry that occur- red in the war and post-war periods. This expansion has been built up with the aid of ail 'effective ,protective sys- tem, which has enabled the industry to capture almost the whole of the domestic market and, at the sante time, to penetrate into foreign mar- kets. About two-thirds of Italy's im- ported wool supplies, in recent years were rerived from British Empire countries. Italy's exports of all wool tissues (non -printed) to Canada from January to :May of this year amount- ed to 33,000 pounds. CATARRHAL DEAF- NESS, MAY BE OVERCOME If you have Catarrhal Deaf- ness or awe even just a little hard of hearing or have head noises go to your druggist and get 1 mince of Parmint (double strength), and add to it 1/4 pint of hot water and a little ,granulated sugar. Take . one ,ta'blespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief front' the distressing head noises. ,Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop drop- ping into 'the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone losing hearing or who has Catarrhal Deafness" or head noises should give this pre- scription a trial He Works With Clay and Fur • Knud Nielsen spends his days in the Royal Ontario Museum. He is a sculptor -taxidermist and has mount - ,ed all the large animal groups. .His method is comparatively new. Sketches and photographs of living animals are made, showing desired poses. Clay models are built up, following the, 'pictures minutely. From these nlodels, plaster casts, or mannikins, are produced, covered with ,burlep, and this in turn is covered with the animals' skins. ' A taxidermist has a natural love of world life. Nielsen has travelled in many 'parts of Canada and the United States. One of his most pleasant trips was to the Gulf of Cal- ifornia on a bird -collecting expedi- tion. He went for Dr. Bishop, the bird authority—a man who has 50,- 000 bird skins for scientific research. Ron- he came to be a taxidermist takes us hack to his days in Den- mark. He had always liked outdoor life, and when he left school it was to be a farmer. He soon discovered however, that it was }lot farming, but nature, that appealed to him. Consequently, he decided to learn the art of mounting animals. People come to Nielsen with dead pets for mounting. Fishermen, too, bring prize catches for preservation. Afterwards, when they say, "It -was this long," they point to the evidence hanging above the mantel. St. Francis and the Birds Following the life of St. Francis of Assisi, who died more than seven hundred years ago, there began a revolution in man's relation to bird life which has never died and which in these latter days is advancing with the creation of bird sanctuaries in all parts of the world. Always there has been a company of disciples, world-wide. in extent, whose lives have been sweetened and purified by the love of birds and whose inspira- tion, fidelity, ,joy and love in the pres- ence of bird life, have been sustained and renewed by the immortal mem- ory of Saint Francis of Assisi. "Thou Saint Francis, blesser of our wings, Prieht of the morning lark that soars and sings, Confessor of the Finches, loving 'Dreamer, Who by thy faith became the Bird's Redeemer." Rostand. From the great mind before which Saint Francis (bowed in such exquisite humility, the mind of Christ, there is- sued home mysterious and mighty' power which survives all the contro- versy, all the bitterness, all the in- sincerity and the ugly amalgam that has•marrerd the history of the world. In the presence of it men know that they are in conlbact•vtrith the greatest power in the world, ,the power of neve, To Saint Francis this power was the Bret of life and religion Gas in the Stomach Is • Dangerous Daily Use of Bisueated Magnesia Overcomes Troubles Caused by Acid Indigestion Gas in the stomach accompanied by a full, bloated feeling after eating is almost certain evidence of too, much hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach, causing so-called "acid indiges- tion." Acid stomachs are dangerous. Too much acid irritates the delicate lin- ing 'of the stomach, often leads to gastritis, accompanied by more seri- ous trouble. Food ferments and sours, creating the. distressing gas which , distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. r It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to try to treat wi h ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids, Instead get a. little $isuated Magnesia from any druggist and take a teaspoonful in water right after eating. This will drive out the gas, wind and bloat, sweeten the, stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its forma- tion and stop sourness, gas or pain. Bisuated Magnesia (in powder form —never in liquid or tniik) is harm- less, inexpensive, and a fine remedy for acid stomach. It is used by thou- sands of people who enjoy their meals with no fear of indigestion. and through it his immortality is a pulsing remotion, ever 'beating in the hearts •of all who love birds. His contemporaries are but names in the history of the world. There came little from: them that ,the world need- ed. From: Saint Francis there has issued, as from 'the mind of Christ, a sbreaan of emotional loveliness which has never run dry and which has cleansed the hearts of men and refreshed their spirits when no other power could avail. Many men, scarcely understanding themselves, expert marksmnlen who have carried their guns into the wilderness for the greater diortion .of their lives, have come in contact with the Bird's Redeemer and have put away their guns, "In the dear near of Francis of Assisi." 'A ,century ago, it is said, Goethe visited the little Umbrian., town of Assisi; he looked for a few moments at the portico of the ancient temple of Minerva and then he went away. There seemed little to detain him. Now three hotels can scarcely accom- *odate the crowd of visitors of all nationalities who flock to Assisi at Easter. They do not go to see the temple of Minerva; there are better temples at Rome and elsewhere. They go because Assisi' is the home of Saint Francis and to visit the bird sanctuary. A mile from the town is this bird sanctuary, bearing the in- scription on i+ts t walls, "Shooting strictly prohibited." Within the walls is a tiny monastery, A priest points out an old ilex tree where St. Fran- cis used to converse with and sing with the birds. The sanctuary is a world af 'bird song. The traveller who supplies this description con- cludes: "The sense that the great- est of bird lovers loved this place above all others gives to the 'familiar melodies of Blackcap, Wren and Chaf- finich a lovelier and more spiritual meaning." Here Saint Francis "lives again, in minds made better by his presence. When Rostand set himself to study' the 'mysterious minds of the birds, in his "chanticleer," he found' it quite impossible to separate them from their beloved Saint. Probably in all literature, not forgetting the "Little Flowers" and •Housmari's "Little Plays of Saint Franeis"— there is nothing to be compared with Rostand's Birds' Prayer, as repres- entative and reproductive of the spir- it of Saint Francis. 0 God of.

A cold frame is much like a hotbed in appearance, but gs without manure. It is used in the. spring either for seeds or for • growing plants taken from the hotbed before they can be set out ,in the open, or it .may also be used by flower lovers who start plants dri the house and who cannot get or do not desire to use manure. According to the directions of • the circular of the Dominion Department of Agriculture on how to make and use hotbeds and cold frames, the fraane should be made with sides afid ends of ;twelve -inch boards, prefer- ably two inches in thickness and placed on a slope so that the back pari` of the frame is six inches high- er than 'the front. By getting the cold frame ready before the winter sets in, considerable time will be saved in the early„ spring when it would be impossible to erect the` frame owing to the frost in the ground.

Tower Talk ' A use, has at last been, found for the towering central skyscraper of Rockefeller Center. It, has been dis- covered that a 'plurmmet, dropped down an elevator shaft from the top, does r)ot follow a true course down, but land 5 1-3 inches from the per pendicular at the base. This, accord- ing to ,the New York Electrical So- ciety, is attributable to, the rotation of the earth: ..the building„ rushing giddily eastward,„has a•highr•ve'locity at the top than at the bottom; hence the plummet, falling to a slower level plunges on ahead and gains five inch- es toward the east. - Now we have an embarrassing states ent to make in regard to the swaying of. the Etmlpire State Build- ing tower. ' Some two years a'go, in our credulous days, we said the tower moved two or threeinches in a high wind, that workmen had figured this out from the shift of water in buck- ets set on the floor: This led to our receiving long -letters from engineer- ing prganization, scornfully pointing 61.1, the naivete of believing 'Workmen who looked . into buckets. The / en- gineers said that they themselves' didn't know how much the swaying world be, but that they would set about finding out as soon as possiible. Now they've found out, and they de- scribe the swaying as "negligible.” Pressed for a figure, we were told that the tower moved less than an eighth of an inch in a 110 -mile wind, the strongest it has yet faced, and about as strong as it will have to face. Fall Litter of Digs In advocating the rearing of late summer and fall litters df -"Figs,, let it be understood, says the Dominion Animal Hus!bandmare in the Fall Lit- ters (bulletin, Dominion Department of Agriculture, that nothing but dis- appointment will result to the farmer swine -grower who applies haphazard -methods. The ability to grow young pigs in winter, to fatten and protect them from loss, is the measure of a good pig -man. Only the application of correct principes of breeding, feeding, and housing will king suc- cees. The following are hints for the two. liters -a -year breeding program: Make September the limit. mouth for fall farrowing. October pigs are mainly for the specialized expert. • OCTOBER 14, 1933. ` Nine Inches Off Her Wais Eats What She Likes ---Yet Reduces IMPROVEMENT EUE TO KRUSCHEN Wihen excess fat starts to overtake a woman, her dressmaker, 'with the ,tell- tale tape measure will soon detect it. If you are beset with the fear of los- ing your girlish proportions ---of find- ing yourself catalogued "Out-size"— read the letter ' pnjrted below. 'Phe writer says "I was astounded," and she tells you the reason why:— "I started taking Kruschen Salts for general acidity. In less than three months I was astounded at my gen- eral appearance; all excess of fat had disappeared. In less than three months I was eight or 'nine inches less round my waist and stomach. As I was not taking the Salts for reduc- ing weight, I did not at first realize it was due to Kruschen Salts. "I am now the admiration of all my friends with my figure. It is marvel- lous the difference. Also the dread- ful painful itching and sielaiess have stoppe-d, as well as the miserable fullness and flatulency. I did no dieting in any way. I eat what, when and where I like. It was simply wonderfully easy, no unpleasanitnees in any way," --(Mrs.) A. D. Kruschen does not aim to reduce by rushing -food through the body; its action is not confined to a single part of the system. Gently, but surely, it aids the system of all fat -forming food refuse-, off all poisons and harm- ful acids, which often give rise to rheumatism, digestive disorders and many other ills. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Drug Stores at 415e and .75e per bottler ..Making a "select" from a September pig is also a specialized job. Damp draughty iquartees •predispbse crip= piing.

A fall pig cannot 'be 'finished in the ewe time as his spring -born bro- tale • Forcing during his first four months will finish him alright, but not in the way desired. Rations:—Feed all slop warm. Give plenty of trough room and remem- ber that even a short period of over- feeding *ill cause serious trouble. Supply a little good alfalfa or clover hay in a rack at all times. Give each lot a fe;w roots daily, pulped or split.' Sods are of the very greatest value; these with ashes and charcoal supply the mineral requirements. !Start the fall pig on a supplement- ary ration at five weeks of age and ,still nursing as follows: Equal parts of middlings and finely ground oats from which the most of the hulls have been sifted. Feed them prefer- ably dry in a small trough in a pen. Less scouring will result from dry - feeding at this period. Give a little sweet skim -milk separately daily. Accredited And Supervised Herds Three plans are in operation by the Health of Animals Branch of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture for -the eradication of 'bovine tuberculosis, namely, the accredited herd plan, the supervised herd plan, and the restricted area plan. The object of the .first plan is the eradi- cation of the disease' in pure bred breeding herds. These herds are tuberculin tested free of charge by salaried veterinary'inspeetors. To be eligible . for 'acceptance under , this plan, a herd must contain at least five pure bred cattle of one breed, registered in the applicant's name. The number of registered pure breis -meet, howevielr, comprise at least one- third of••the total number of cattle in the herd. As soon as a herd has passed two annual or three sre)mi-annual teests without an animal shOwing signs of the disease, and contains at least ten registered pure-breds, it iso designat- ed a "Tuberculosis -free Accredited Herd." Compensation is paid for re- actors --that is, those animals which show signs of the disease placed up- on the animals by veterinary inspec- tors of the Health of Animals Branch. The maximum amount of compensation permitted under the Animal Contagious Diseases Act is $100 for pure-breds and $40 for grades. No compensation is paid, however, for cattle affected with lump jaw, nor for grade bulls which react to the tett. Such animals, nevertheless, must be slaughtered un - dee federal inspection. The supervised herd plan is a sin- gle herd policy applicable to grade herds irrespective of the number of pureebred or grade animal's they con- tain. No compensation is paid for an:imrals that react to the test, but the •ow•ner receives whatever proceed there may be from the, salvage. Own- ers placing their herds under this plait• must agree to slaughter' reac- tors, to promptly cleanse and disim feet their premises, and to keep their, cattle from coming in content with untested animals. If a herd sire is not maintained on the premises, breeding operations must be restrict- ed to a tested -animal. The restricted area plan has for its abject the eradication of tuberculosis in definite areas. At least two-thirds of the cattle owners in any definite area must sign a petition for the establishment of such an area under this plan. 'The petition must be for- 'arded by the Provincial 'Minister of Agriculture to the Minister of the Dominion Department of Agriculture requesting that the necessary action. be taken, ` More Canadian Pears Wanted Although imports of canned pears in Scotland from Canada during the first six months of this year totalled over 13,000 cases, •a Scottish firm ire the trade stated that 30,000 cases at least could have been sold, had they been available. Potat Warm Storage Newly -dug potatoes have their skins. The skin continues to grow in storage and becomes thicker and somewhat corky. As the greatest losses in weight of stored potatoes are due to losses of water, it is sug- gested, contrary to general usage,. that the first ten days' storage should be at a temperature of 65 degrees ire order to thicken the skin and thus reduce the loss by water. The ,Discovery of Close Grazing The discovery at Ho'henheim • he . Germany during the Great War (and arising out of war conditions) thatr the 'dry matter of young grass of three or fouh inches in height not only contains as much protein as pur- chased cattle cake of high concentra- tion; but that its value can be re- newed repeatedly in a single season by the alternation of nitrogenous dressings with rotational grazing, is steadily revolutionizing grass hus- bendry throughout the world. Prairies and Trees The absence of trees on the prairies has been attribifted to several causes - One of these is the prevalence of grass fires during summer which would tend to destroy all woody types of vegetatiorij. Another possible• cause is a period of drought which would tend to prevent the successful establishment. of seedling trees. A third and much more probable cause was the former prevalence of large herds .of buffalo. Only herbaceous types of vegetation could be expect- ed to survive successfully the con- stant cropping of millions of grazing animals. , The seed of carrots, due to the fact that the individual seed -clusters do not ripen at the same time, cannot be harvested` in the same manner as mangels and swedes. The individual seed clusters must be picked by handl when .they become brown and several pickings are necessary to harvest the crop in befit condition:` ITIS REALLY FALSE ECONOMY TO USE {.
