Summary...a-Lesson I. Topic: The Gen-
tile Pentecost. Places; Joppa and Cue -
urea, Cornelius, a Roman centurion
and a devout man, eaw an angel. of God,
in a vision; was Old to send men to
Joppa to call for Peter; he litunedlatotY
sent two servanta end. a soldier. Peter,
while in Joppa, was in 4 trance; he flaw
a he let down -before him on which
were all manner of beasts, creeping
things and. fowls; he was told to kill
and eat; he objected; this was does
three times, and all were taken up to
heaven; three men immediately called
for himthe Spirit bade him go with
them; he went and God poured out Ids
Spirit on the Gentiles as a result of bis
preaching.
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,

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.

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,

THE FRUIT CROP.
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

a Prominent part in the saving of the
crew and passengers oj the Cunard

day is a total wreck two miles south-
west of Flores bleed, The wireless
feat of the steamer Republic was
egeelled, if not excelled.
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. She was proceeding at
her usual speed when she struck a sunk-
en rock which is said not to be marked
on the charts, An immense Mile was rip-
ped in her bottom, through witch the
sea rushed in huge volumes. She filled
almost immediately., but was prevented
front sinking by the fact that her hull
was resting on, the rock.
There was great excitement among
the passengers and the officers had
much difficulty in -restraining,. them,

well together the passengers became
calmer and waited anxiously for a tea -
pollee to the wireless call for help which
was kept continually going by the
Slavonia's operator.
The Prinzess Irene arrived alongside
the Slavonia Thursday afternoon. It was
arranged that she should take the cabin
passengers off the Cunard liner and
work was at once begun. All Thursday
night was taken up with the transfer,
and the 110 passengers, men, women and
children, were on board by daylight.
The transfer was made without a single
accident.
Friday morning early the Prinzess
