II. Topic; Supernatural deliverance, Place: Jerusalem. Tbete was great per- secution• Herod killed James and ar- rested Peter; arayer was made for him by the church without ceasing; the nighayefore he was to be brought forth to his death the angel of the Lora de- livered him; Peter went to the house of Mary. III. Topic; An illustration of divine methods, Place: lit and near Damascus. Saul persecuted the disciples; he re- ceived a commission from the high priest to go to Damascus to arrest the Chris- tians; when. near Damascus he was struck elown to the eafth by super- natural power; heard a 'voice from heaven; was assisted to Damascus; was blind three days, during which time he fasted s was visited by Ananias, who laid hands on him; scales fell from his eyes; received the Holy Spirit and was bap- tized; preached immediately. IV. Topic: The filet Gentile church. Place: Antioch let Syria. The persecu- tions that came scattered the disciples; they preached the word and many lx.. lieved; Barnabas was sent to Antioch to encourage the converts,'Barnabas needed assistance and 'went to Tarsus seeking Saul; Saul returned with him and during a whole year they taught much people in Antioch; Agabus pre - dieted a famine in Judea; Barnabas and Saul were sent to Jerusalem with a re- lief fund. V. Topic: Foreign missions. Place;: Antioch and the Island of Cyprus. Bar- nabas and Saul were chosen to go as missionaries; -they went to Seleueia and Cyprus; preached the gospel in Sala- mis; at Paphos the Holy Spirit came upon Paul and. 1e denounced Elymas, the - false prophet, severely; Elymas was streck blind, VI. Topic: Paul's first recorded ser- mon. Place:. Antioch in Pisidia. The apostles journeyed to Antioch in Pisidia; Paul preached in the synagogue; many • followed Paul and Baeriabas; on the next •Sabbath day nearly the whole city came together to hear the apostles; the Jews were filled with envy; the apostles turned to the Gentiles; the Gentiles were glad; the perseCution against the apes - ties was great; the apostles went to Iconium. • • VII. Topic: The gospel extended and _established. Places: lecinium and Lys - tea. The missionaries were compelled to flee for their lives; went to Lystra.; Paul healed a, cripple; the people thought Paul and Barnabas *ere gods; Jews stoned Paul and. dragged him out of the .city; supposing him to be dead; he departed. with Ba,rnabae to Derbe, after which they returned to Lystra. VIII. Topic: The first Church council, Plaen: Antioch and Jerusalem. After returning from their first missionary journey Paul and Barnabas abode in An- tioolt a long thee; there wargreat con- teeition over the question of ahem& *ion; a council, met at Jerusalem; after much discussion it was decided that the _Gentiles need not be circumcised accord- ing to the kw of Moses. The Gentiles were erased (1) to abstain from meats offered to idols, (2) from blood, (3) from things strangled, and (4) from for- nication. . • IX. Topie: Active, living faith. Place: Jerusalem. Joiners found some who de- eltuad that faith was all that was of vale to a Christian; they disregarded good works; he taught the necessity of eombining them.inorder to have a per- fect Christian character; genuine faith is shown to be always accompanied by • good works; works that are acceptable to God are shown to be accompanied by A living faith; the devil's faith is not the right kind, end it does not save him; the spirit separated from the body means death; good works apart from faith mean spiritual death. X. Tome; The function of the tongue, Place: Jerusalem. Jamest sets forth the ling of the tongue; calls an evil tongue a fire, a world of 'iniquity; calls it an *lenity evil, full of deadly poison; the tongue is only an instrument; the heart determines the character of the words; right words will proceed from a renewed heart. XL Topic: The Christian's faith, Faith as declared to be "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen;" faith is shown to endure, suffer, triumph; we cannot pleaee God Witheut possessing true faith; the re- wards of faith are as great to -day as ever; the examples of faith given in the lesson should help us to be strong spir- itually. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. L Saving grime exemplified. It tri- uraphea over self-righteousness and Mal- ignity. Paul inter, in testifying of his former life, said, "After the most strait - est sit of our religion I have lived a Pharislee" (Acts 2615). The Master re- veals the chief characteristics of this *cot, self-righteousness and - eiefity, 'in Luke 18:9-12. Saul's manner 'of life showed him to be possessed of a good share Of thia spirit. The Pharisees were malignant persecutors (John 11:47, 48; 12:10a11); So Was Saul (Acts 1):1). What a picture of malignity! But no sooner does he Open his heart to the Spirit of the Lord than his self -right. tonalities and malignity are gone and he bumbles himself at the feet of the Christ he had persecuted, and asks of him di- rection and guidance, If. Olatiat's promise fulfilled. In his teommission to his disciples Jesus had said, "These signs shall follow" (Mark 16417), and "Lo, 1 am with you always" (Matt, 2420), In the Miracles recorded. this vpiarter We see the fulfilment of the promise. The manifested supernatural lenient among the early Christiene gave Obriotianity itswonderful power, it may be asked, Have we not a right to- expeet like signs tioart We frankly an- swer, Yes, but 'we must not forget that the "greeter works", to be done by the gospel are manifested in such trausfor- rnation of character as that recorded In the history of Paul. The -gospel preached to the Gen- tiles. The great commission read, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gerepel toevety creature (Mack 16:I5), The understandings of the apestieg for e time seemed to be ideeed to this greet fact, but now by epochal divine opera- tion they are opened. Them is no re- • opect of persona with God. No Man is accepted. 'because he hi a Jew, nor re. joeted because be is a Gentile. The ground of acceptance he mode plaint "In every nation lie that feateth God arid worketh righteousneee• is accepted with him." The fear of the Lead will be main - by turning frcem sin and gladly ac. copal% God's provisions for deliverance from sin, and. by working righteousness. IV. Origin of the mute Christian, "They that were scattered abroad" did not hide their light, but let it shine. The result is seen nt one inetence M the church organized, at Antioch. "A great number believed and turned unto the Lord." How many teelay might see the eame results from the same devotion, but, abi-si too many when "scattered ;thread" fail to carry their light with them. The name of Christian, applied hi deeision, the disciples adopted, and it has come to be synonymous with all that stands for man s weifare here and bereefter. V. The first inisesonariee. The word of the Lord to .Aurtelas concerning Saul was, "He is a chosen veseel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles" (Acts 9:15). The time is now .ripe forthe church to move out into -the regions be- yond," and God makes, known the ones he has chosen for this particular work. The church at Antioch, though doubtless enjoying the ministry of Barnabas and Saul, gladly responded to •the divine call, and commending them to the grace of God sent them on their way, A spiritual church recogniees the maul of the Spirit in regard to those whom, God calls, and without that recognition no one should go forth. The church had recognized the gospel as for all (Acts 10;11), and immediately God began to .call the men for the work. As the church of toelay turns lien face toward her miseion to "allthe world.," God will raise up the workers to go. -John S. MeGeery, FIFTY CENT COWS. - Dominion Department of Agricul. lure, Dairy Division, Cow Testing Associations. .1•••••••••• Cow testing association members are astonished, to put it mildly, at the re- eelations of the scales and test. In one herd of 17 cows • the average yield was 4,380 lb. milk, 4.2 test, and 183 lb. fat The highest yield of milk and fat from a 7 -year-old cow, whose test wits only an averilge of 3.8 for the full period of. lactation. Iler total yield was 7,200 lbs. milk and 274 lbs. fat. Notice how high this is above the average, 2,82Q lbs. milk more -The yield of the poorest cow, a 10 -year-old, was only 3,050 lbs. 3.7 test, and 111 lbs. fat, Notice how much this is below the average yield, 72 lbs. of fat less. But this 10 -year-old cow gave much less than half what the . 7 -year-old did. There is actually a dif- ference between the two yields of 4,150 lbs. milk, and 163 lbs. fat.- Is the one cow worth twice as much as the other? Carry the figuring one step fuether in order to ascertain profit. Valuing milk at $1 per 100 lbs., and even putting the, cost of feed at only $30, one cow made just 50 cents profit' on the year's busi- ness; Did that pay labor, or interest, or any return for supervision or supply any incentive to keep cows? But even assum- ing that the first cow consumed feed to the value, not of $30 merely, but fifty dollars, the profit is $22, or just 44 times gA moth: as with the second cow. Seppesing 'one pci).4ld just deposit the .profit mA.ae on emit civ; with the kind that mAkes $p profit one could attain 4 hank balance of $,Q0.0 by keep- ing 46 cows, but with the other kind it would necessitate keeping two thams- and ! Who could afford that? Fit•mers, the point is evident: -Test your cows and ascertain definiteliy whether the fifty cent cow boards in your stables. C. P. W. I. C. R. NOT LIABLE Agent's Conviction For Storing Liquor Quashed in N., B. • Prederiction, N. B., tune 14. -That the Government railways are not liable to pen- alty under the Canada temperance act for carrying liquor into the Soott Act counties was the substance of a judgment handed down by the Supreme Court here this after- noon, quashing the conviction made by Pollee Magistrate Marsh against R. Z. Walker, I. C, R. station agent, for receiving and ware- housing liquor. The Judgment ,ot the court which 'was de- livered by the Chief Justice and was titian- imous, upheld the contention of Mr. Hughes, declaring that the decision of Police Mag- istrate lyiarsh was not Minified. It set forth that the Iaterpojealal had been constructed under the authority et the British North 'America Act, and, betng te property of the Crown and operated in the pupil° 'interest, could not be interfered with by any act of Parliament, unless such act was made special- ly applicable to it. The Judgment of the eourt means that the /Wier now at the pollee station will have to be returned to the Intercolonial shed. As the ells has already been mulcted to the tune of over $200 in costs, It is scarcely likely that the case will be appealed, 4 rim PRIEST pougHT ROBBER.

Interesting Information from the Niagara Disrrict. The cold and wet spring lute nadoubt- edly provided thee right conditions for the appearance and rapidgrowth of the "Oa leaf" on peach trees. This, has attackod the orchards in curious streaks and id one or two instances orchards that have not been sprayed, have to some extent, escaped its ravages, which has led sonic unthinking persons to say that "spraying with lime and sul- phur for curl.leaf is no good." This is very far from being the case, however, Curl leaf is a fungus disease, and spraying remedies for fungus dis- eases are preventive and not destructive. To make a success of sprayingeetle right mixture must be applied at the, right time and in the right way. And if .these three "Agate" aye not all attended to, the result Ls only a partial success. In order to get the full ininefiteef the lane and sulphur spray for curl leaf, it must be applied very early in the season before the buds have unfolded. lama Ss where a greetalany•growersaell down this per, Tey applied' it too late to get the full lsenefit. A. magnificent object lesson as to this can be seen in Mr. J. Wesley Smith's large orchard, ly- ing just north of the main read, one mile and a half west of Waione post ref - flee. This orchard is just' a little way northeast of Mr, E. 1). Smith's jam fac- tor.y, and fruit house. Two-thirds of this orchard was spayed with the right home -boiled mixture in the right way at- the right time -very early in the spring, by Mr. Smith, who is one of the, most prominent, as well as one of our most careful growers. The result is, that that portion of the orchard, consisting of several varieties, some of which are those most setbject to curl leaf, is al- most entirely free from the disease. The foliage on the trees presents a fine healthy appearance, and they are carry- ing' a heavy load of peaches. One-third of the orchard, however, was not spray- ed till about* ten days later than the rest, and on it the -curl leaf is pretty bad. About a dozen trees were left un- sprayed altogether, and they again are in an infinitely worse condition than those which wee sprayed late. This goes to show that where the con- ditions 'of gal, ease are alike, that immense benefits :write from applying this ren1eda rightly prepared, 111 the right way andat the, right time. -Precisely the same thing can be wit- nessed in orchards of Mr, T. IL P. Car- penter, also one of the prominent grow- ers, and in a good many other orchards as well, here and in other places. In spite of the prevalence of this dis- ease the prospects for A good yield of peaches is fairly good, as most sprayed orchards have sufficient good leaves to carry the bulk of their crop, although they may lose some, which they can well spare. Plums and peers are setting well, so far, Small fruits are lookinewell, and there is a fair prospect for apples. Grapes have btien inured to some ex- tent by the late spring frosts, especial- ly Niagara% Delawares, 'Vergennes and the Rogers .varieties. The Coneord has, however almost entirely escaped.

The steamship Maumee Ireee Was one hundred ancl eighty miles Away when the call "C, Q. D." Was picked up. Immediately upon receipt of the Message of distress the operator flash- ed back his answer and learned the locatioa pf the stricken ship, The Prinzess Irene then hestened at full speed' to the 'rescue And every one on the Slavonia was saved. The Slavonia went ashore late Wed- nesday night.
