S UNDAY SCHOOL L ESSON, -JUNE 4 PAUL IN EPHESUS Acts 19 :1-20:1; Ephesians. PRINTED TEXT, Acts 19s 8-10; Eph, 2:4-10, 3:14-19. GOLDEN TEXT -We are his Christ workmanship, created in CIis t Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared thatwe should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10. Memory Verse: He hath Made evctytlling beautiful in its time. Ec- clesiastes 1:11, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The visit of Paul to Ath- ens described in Acts 19 took place about A.D. 93. or 54. The Epistle which he wrote to the church at Ephesus was written about ten years later. Place.—Paul wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians from his impris- onment at Moine, Ephesus being one of the great cities of what teas then called Asia, now known as Asia Minor, Labor In Ephesus "And he entered into the syna- gogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of God." The subject of Paul's preaching was all that related to the kingdom of God, the new dispensation, the doctrine and church of Christ. By 'persuading is meant 'endeavoring to convince.' Summary of Work "But when' some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the tray before tate multitude, he departed front theta, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyramus. The final manifestation of the hardened heart is to speak evil of the Christian faitlt. For three months Paul continued his exhor- tations to stoney -hearted hearers, but when their obstinacy_tiu'ned to hostility, he left thein. Paul sep- arated his disciples, for there could be no fellowship between believers and unbelievers and continued reas- oning daily in the lecture hall of Tyrauttus. All Heard The Word "And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia Beard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." The result of this prolonged labor was that all who inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord. Paul is at the height of his great rniss- ionary activity, "Burt God, being rich in mercy, for Inc great love wherewith he loved us." In the previous verses Paul has described the dark and hopeless state of the Gentiles- `dead in trespasses and sins', the children of 'disobedience and of wrath'. h\rttat a contrast is intro- duced by the little word 'but'. Darkness gives way to light, des- pair to hope, wrath to mercy, Sin- ners though we were by nature. and practice, God loved us. Saved By Grace "Even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved'," God in his grace has quickened, has saved those who have truly believed. "Aird raised'us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus." The true Christian as a member of Christ's mystical body, though toiling and suffering on earth in the body, is, in the life of Spirit with Christ in Heaven. "That in the ages to conte he night show' the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus," Throughout eternity the shall ever be making new dis- coveries of God's love and grace. The Gift of God - "For by grace litre ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no Titan should glory. Paul states clearly and con- sistently that by works no duan can be saved, therefore, since salvation cannot be of merit it must be of grace, it must be a salvation which God in mercy provides. Daily Obedience 'Fns' we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we slinuld walk in them." Our life is to consist not in the occas- ional doing of a good work here Garden Notes GARDEN PESTS Beginners are inclined to worry too ranch about insect and other, garden ,pests, experienced garden- ers believe, True, there is almost one special insect for every plant that grows in Canada. abs a rule, however, if we keep our garden growing and healthy through reg Mar cultivation, is many cases the plaids will outgrow most of the .damage. But some dusting or spray- ing is advisable to wtu'd off heavy attacks Usually we can purchase ready -mixed materials. The import- ant thing is to get these applied just as soon as damage or pests first appear, ON GUARD The small garden, both flower and vegetable, hut more especially the latter, is very subject to pest damage. Sparrows may pounce on the lettuce, cut worms girdle the tomatoes, grubs attack the carrots or beets. , One must be on guard continuously because if we are not ready to go into action the in start the attack oc- curs, it will be too late, Indeed with certain pests like sparrows, starlings and cut worsts it is best to be pre- pared in advance. Often a scarecrow or a fewbits of fluttering rags, or a little brush spread over garden or lawn will scare away birds. In some cases lettuce and such tempting lines are grown under a wire netting, which is removable for cultivation. Paper collars around the stems of tomatoes and cabbage just above and below the surface of the soil will protect against cut worms, but a poison mixture secured from any seed store is better. Special dusts can also be purchased for protect- ing cabbage, celery, cucumbers and melons. A good general guard against pests is cultivation. Cut worms and many other grubs don't like to be stirred up. and there, but is to be a course of daily obedience. Prayer For Power "For this cause I bow my knees unto the 1°ather, ... that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God," Paul prays that believers may be strengthened in the inter pian—in heart, mind, and soul. The idea is that spiritual firmness and vigor may be given, that we may with- stand all evil, bear trials cheerfully. As the body needs to be strength- ened every day with nourishing food, so thesoul needs to be strengthened by supplies of Divine grace. This strength is given to us through the Ifoly Spirit who dwells within us and is to us as Christ Himself, Paul's prayer is that his converts may be 'filled' with all moral and spiritual quali- ties which God designs His people to possess. IIe desires that we may 'be full of His love, joy, grace, avis - dont, power and glory.

CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM Sy Gwendoline P. Clarke • 5 • • Discouragement over our present unsettled weather ied me to look up last year's, seeding dates and I find we sowed our first spring grain on June 1e. This is May 15, and we have one field sown and about two acres in another field so I guess there is still hope — ex- cept that it is raining again! It is too bad the weather doesn't stay fine long enough for the farmers to finish seeding because the men say the land is in ideal condition and any grain that has been sown is growing splendidly. It is diffi- cult for farmers to know how to work to the best advantage. In some cases Where neighbours have agreed to work together one man has his seeding done while the other hasn't started. That is likely to happen any titate and the one who is left has to be a pretty good sport to take it. Co-operative farming is a fine thing in principle but if the weatherman doesn't co-operate too there is just a chance the scheme may create a little bad feeling. It just depends on what plans have been made beforehand and how willing each man is to take chances — and accept the result! * * * The country is really lovely these days. Of course it is always lovely in the spring but this year I ho- nestly believe it is the best yet. I don't think there was ever a year when the grass, the trees, and the shrubs looked so fresh and green. Nor was there ever a year when the grass grew so fast. Or do I just notice it because I have it to cut? It takes about three hours to mow all the grass around Isere — and that is without clipping the edges. Saturday I had it about half done and then had to leave it to go to town. When I cane 'back Part- ner had finished, it, After all, a shower of rain has its advantages. * * * * Do you mind if I say 'a word or two aboutchickens in general and mine in particular? You don't think I had better? Well, perhaps not, because what I night say wouldn't be fit for publication anyway. You see my chickens are now seven weeks old and high time they were roosting. To encourage them I took away their first low roosts and 1 replaced therm with the pro'er ones, slanting them in the appromed fashion and placing wire -netting underneath to force the chickens to perch on the roosts instead of going into a ]cuddle on the floor, When it was nearly bedtime for the chicks 1 went out to see what they were doing. I was very well satisfied because about half of them were roosting and I thought that was pretty good for a start. A little later I went bark to shut them up for the night and every last chicken was on the floor! Some of theist t -ere even under tlte wire- netting. How they ever got there is more than I know. If only chickens could be trained like dogs. * * * * And that brings me around to the subject of Tippy — and chick- ens. The other day I thought I heard a suspicious noise going on outside. On investigation I found Tippy stretchedout on the grass with a chicken between his front paws. I noticed he kept giving it a wee bite as if it amused him to hear it yip. To my surprise the chicken wasn't hurt at all and jumped up and ran off as soon as it was released, And then it was Tippy's turn to yip and yelp. Since then he has left the chickens .alone although I often see trim watching them with longing eyes. I'm not taking any chances, * * * * Tippy loves to be with me when I ant working in the garden and I have been out quite a bit lately, what .with cutting grass and sett- ing. out shrubs. I bought a few new ones last week and transplanted some of the others, One of the new ones is witch hazel, which accord- ing t0 the catalogue blooms out- side in January and February. That sounds too good to be true — but it will be interesting to see what happens. But oh dear, if one could only be in two places at one time, The more I work outside the more my work in the house gets behind, The paper in the dining -room is. -half off and looks awful. It is a terrible wall to scrape — I don't seem to stake any headway at all, Wouldn't somebody like a job?
