TL. e -- The council in Jerusal-
em was hold in A.D. 51; Paul
wrote his letter to the Galatians
abet', A.D. 57.
Pie. a. — The council of Jerusal-
em v.: ,s held, of course, in the
greet tenter of Jewish life, the
Holy City, Jerusalem, which twen-
ty ,ears later was to be utterly
des.r o;; ,:d. The Antioch of this les-
son v, .:s located on the Orontes
River, in Syria.
Tee church at Antioch determin-
ed, with great wisdom, to send a
group of their members, together
with Paul and Barnabas, up to the
city of Jerusalem to discuss with
the apostles and elders there this
enure question.
in Accord With One Another

brethren, uuto the brethren who
are of the Gentiles in Antioch and
Syria and Miele, greeting.
24. Forasmuch as we have heard
that certain who went out from us
have troubled you with words, sub-
verting your souls; to whom we
gave no commandment; 25, it
seemed good unto us, having come
to one accord, to choose out men
and send them unto you with our
beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26.
men that have hazarded their lives
for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ. At the beginning of the Je-
rusalem conference Paul and Bar-
nabas were being severely criticiz-
ed by some members of the Jerus-
alem church; now they are spoken
of as `our belovec' Barnabas and
Paul". The intention of the whole
Letter is to show the honor which
the church in Jerusalem felt was
due to these missionary laborers.
27. We have sent therefore Ju-
das and Silas, who themselves also
shall tell you the same things by

29. That ye ^bstain from things

what to do in regard to meat offer-
ed to idols often troubled the early
church. these Gentile Christians
standing in the liberty wherewith
Christ had made them f. • mild
be found eating meat offered to
idols, which was an abomination to
the Jews, they might thereby keep
other Jews from accepting Christ
as their Savior; ', while t' y
had a right so to eat meat. the
church at Jerusalem urges them
that they de not stand on their own
rights, but thir'z first of their un-
saved brethr . A-4 from le eed,

1, Then after the space of four-
teen years I went up again to Je-
rusalem with Barnabas, taking Tit-
us also with me. 2. And I went up
by revelation; and I laid before
them the gospel which I preach all
among the Gentiles but privately
before them who were of repute,
lest by any means I should be run-
Iting, or had run, in vain. While
there is some disagreement among
geholars as to whether this pisode
which Paul now describes is the
name as that found in the fifteenth
chapter of Acts, the opinion of the
moat to -day is that here we have
two records of the carne event.

portant one, and reveals Paul's

Cheese Quality
Premier Hepburn Sees Oppor-
tunity To Offset Loss On
Butter Output
The government is taking steps
to safeguard the quality of Ontario
cheese through improved super-
vision of its manufacture, Premier
Hepburn said in his budget ad-
dress before the Legislature.
Canadian cheese is selling at
premium in the British market
over New Zealand cheese, from
which it receives its keenest com-
petition.
"At present we cannot export
butter and compete—therefore ev-
ery effort should be put forth to
place our cheese industry upou a
basis whereby the demand may be
filled with a product of a quality
to equal that of our past seasons
and up to the expectation of the
imparter," Me. Hepburn said,
Continued demand at good prices
for Canadian cows and heifers in
tho United States and British mar-
kets is a real compliment to On-
tario farmers 3 breeders and feed-
ers of purebred dairy cattle, he
went on.
High butter prices early in 1933
induced not only importations of
butter but caused diversion of fluid
milk from cheese factories to
creameries. The percentage spread
in 1C38 butter prices was probably
without precedent, the Toronto
wholesale price of creamery butter
falling from 36 cents in March to
21 cents in December.

Of Manitoba --Thorough Or-

The way out of the difficulties
facing agriculture iu Canada was
declared by Premier John Bracken
of Manitoba, speaking at the East-
ern
astern Canada Conference on market-
ing of farm products to be thorough
hands of fellowship that we should
go unto the G 'stile_ and they un-
to the circumcision. James, Peter,

able day when thes four men met
face to face, Amongst then they've
virtually made the New Testament

the transition from Mosaism to
Christianity. Peter is the man of

organization within the industry
with such support by the Govern
-
merit of Canada as would give the
industry an opportunity to solve its
own problems,
"I. suggest that organization
means the development of a nation-
al policy for agriculture," he said,
a policy that when once It is form-
ed will have the support of those
within the industry. That policy
should provide a means of handling
agricultural surpluses without Im-
poverishing those who produced
them and a means of bringing a
larger share of the national income
to that one-third of the people of
Canada engaged in agricultural in-
dustry."
Sees Danger to East
Mr. Bracken, after declaring that
tate 30 million acres of wheat land
in the West formed a potential
clanger to the 17 million acres of
farmland in the East, if the wheat
growers were forced to turn to oth-
er products, said that there was
an immediate threat to the econ-
omic foundation of Canadian agri-
culture that would strike Western
Canada first, but it would strike
the East second, and just as hard
if It was not solved in the way it
was meant to be solved when the
national policy of Canada was
formed 60 years ago.
Seaweed For Cattle
Now comes the news that Cana-
dian seaweed has been proved to
be remarkably good for cattle
meal, and far away New Zealand
has actually come into the market
as a buyer. These farmers of
New Zealand, some of them de-
scendants of the men who long
ago built a ship and sailed to that
country from Nova Scotia, know
quite a lot about cattle and about
dairying, and we know very well
that when they ask for Canadian
seaweed, made into meal, they are
asking for something that will be
a benefit to their already power-
ful and eiiiciently conducted in-
dustry of dairying.
Four Copies Kept
Of Magna Charts
po,ument Was Drawn Up 724
Years Ago Establishing Legal
Rights Of English People.
There are four copies' of the
Great Charter, the document which
established the legal rights of the
people of England 724 years ago.
'Upon this document was founded
the Common Law of England, the
British Empire and of the United
States. The ' people of England
were in revolt because there was
no system of law and order and
they suffered many hardships and
injustices. The barons compelled
King John to admit that the Crown
owed a duty to the people. •The
laws were inscribed in Latin on
•sheepskin, and at Runnymede, near
Windsor Castle, the document was
read to King John by the only man
present wlio could read --- Stephen
Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury
who had drawn it up. The King
himself could not read or write. He
could not sign his name to it, so he
affixed his seal on wax. After that
the Charter was taken away and
monks and clerks made copies for
every important centre. Few were
taken care of. The one preserved
at Lincoln is believed to be the or-
iginal. The King put his seal on
each one of them, Of the three oth-
ers in existence, one is illegible
owing to fire, another in the Brit-
ish Museum, lacks the seal, and
the other was partially destroyed
by a tailor who was cutting up old
vellum.
Extra Milking
Without any change in feeding
or management, an extra milking
per day will result in 20 per cent.
more milk, according to the Iowa
State college. Usually it does not
pay to milk cows three time per
clay, however, because milk is
cheap and labor is high in price,
relatively speaking. Tests have
shown that the greatest amount of
milk is secreted immediately af-

QUIZ PROGRAMMES
Quiz programmes have become
such an integral part of radio.en-
tertainment in the last year or so
that their important place in the
programme schedule is now freely
acknowledged as permanent.
Thes-: radio games began with
the simple spelling bee. As they
gained in popularity so they be-
came more elaborate. Now ideas
are being thought out so fast that
competition is keen in the race to
produce a mental test which will
be as interesting and novel to the
studio audience as to the listener
and in which the listener can take
as active a part as those in the
studio.
AROUND THE DIAL
A rumor of unusual interest,
which looks like becoming a defi-
nite possibility as the summer
schedules are mapped out, is that
Rudy Vallee will substitute for
Charlie McCarthy. The story is
that Vallee will join the Chase &
Sanborn Hour on Sundays while
Edgar Bergen and Don Ameche
take their vacations. Vallee will
carry on his Thursday night pro-
gramme and stay in Hollywood
for the summer. If true, the move
will double his salary and keep
him working twice as hard.
Winners of the nation-wide
drama contest inaugurated by the
CBC last November 1, will be an-
nounced during the first week in
May. The four best plays will be
specialy produced over the Ca-
nadian network. The authors will
get handsome cash prizes, in ord-
er of merit $250.00, $150.00,
$1.00.00 and $50.00. Ambitious
Canadian playwrights have sub-
mitted more than 200 original
scripts.
Two new dramatic serials are
being considered by NBC to re-
place Bob Hope's show for thir-
OTES
teen weeks during the summed.
The more interesting one will star
'iirgess Meredith, unforgettable
hero of "Winterset," and will be
called '`Prosecuting Attorney."
The other .will star Franchot Tone
as a young doctor face to face
with the trials of his profession.
June 20 is the tentative date.

Most of the high record producing

day, and some of them four times.
