In "The Acts of the Apostles' writ ten by Dr. Stokes he has the foilowin to sav on "The Community of Goods with which to -day's lesson deals. Th gift of tongues and this earliest at tempt at Christian communism wer the two special features of apostoli or perhaps we should rather say o Jerusalem, Christianity. The gift o tongues we find at one or two othe places, at Caesarea on the first con version of the Gentiles, at Ephesu and at Corinth. It then disappeare The community of goods was tried a Jerusalem. It laster there a ver short time, and then .faded from th ordinary practice of the Christie Church. The record of this vain at tempt and its manifold results em bodies many a lesson suitable to ou modern Christianity. We can trace the genesis and up growth of the idea of the communit of goods. It cannot be denied that th earliest Christians expected the imme diate return of Christ, This expects tion brought with it a very natura paralysis of business rife and activity The Christian Pentecost and the day succeeding it were a period of' strain ed expectation, a sense of intense re ligious exeitement, which naturally le to the community of goods. The Mas ter had passed into the invisible worl whence He would shortly appear. Wh should they not then, as brethren i Christ, have one common purse an spend the whole time in waiting an watching for that loved presence? Th communism of the early Christian was not a novel notion. The Essenes a curious Jewish sect of that time, ha long practised it. Bishop Lightfoo in an essay on this sect uses language that would exactly apply to these early Christians: "There is not to be found any one among them who hath more than another; for it is a law among them that those who come to then must let what they have be common to the whole order; insomuch that a mong them all there is no appearance of poverty or excess of riches." The Church of Jerusalem, as the apostolic history shows us, reaped the natural results of this false step• There was no reason in the nature of its composition why the Jerusalem church should have been more poverty stricken than the Churches of Ephesus, Philippi or Corinth. Slaves and very humble folk constituted the staple of these churches whereas slavery never reached among the Jews the same de- velopment as in the Gentile world. In Chapter 6:1-4 it is seen how early trouble arose in connection with the distribution of the common supplies. To rectify wrongs the Apostles estab- lished the office of deacon to which sev- en men of honest report, fully of the Holy Ghost and wisdom were chosen by the ,people themselves and appoint- ed by the' Apostles. The Jerusalem idea of a voluntary community of goods sprang from an unselfish root. It was purely volun- tary; there was no compulsion upon any to adopt it. Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians (chapters 8 and 9) stresses voluntary giving. We see in these passages the deep anxiety (9:1-7) which he had that the collection should be liberal; that it should not only be such as to be really an aid to those who were suffering, but be such as would be an expression of tender attachment to them — the poor saints in Judea on the part of the Gentile converts. He wished that the collection should be so liberal as to show that they felt that they were united as brethren, and that they were fgrateful that they had received the true religion from the Jews. Dr. Barnes in his commentary writes of ,how Paul was aware of their readiness to give, and knowing this, he had boasted of it to others, and others had been excited to give liber- ally from what the apostle had said of them (verses 1, 2). The argument here is that Paul's veracity and their own character were at stake and de- pended on their now giving liberally. He had sent the brethren to them in order that there might be no possi- bility of a failure (verses 3-5). In order that nothing unforeseen might prevent he sent messengers to secure their bounty. In that way neither he nor they would have cause to be ashamed of his boasting. To excite them to , give liberally, Pawl in verses 6 and 7 advances the great principles that the reward in heaven will be in proportion to the liberality evinced on earth and that God loves one who gives cheerfully. He therefore calls upon them to con- tribute freely to aid their afflicted brethren. While community of goods lasted in the early Christian church the social order was such that "Neither was there among them any that lacked." What is the condition. in modern so- ciety to -day? There is no greater or more serious industrial and human problem to -day than unemployment. If the modem church succeeds in in- spiring its members and the world with a real sense of brotherhood at aU compatible to that of the early church we shall see cons'truetiVe solutions: df, the tabor problems more and' more worked out in terms of industrial den's-!

BABY'S OWN TABLETS (Dr. William?) 172 ocracy." WORLD MISSIONS Aesthetics, Charts and Missionary Funds. From "Men and Missions" The pastor of a very wealthy church, some ten years ago, placed over his pulpit that motto of the Lay- men's Missionary Movement: "Not how much of my money will .'I give to God, but how much of God's money will I keep for myself." The striking statement began to do its work. A rich woman not interested in missions came to the pastor and said, "I wish you would put that sign away. It of- fends our aesthetic taste and is not in keeping with the beautiful sur- roundings." Typographically, she was correct. The pastor -,protested that he could not possibly do so as the motto would undoubtedly help to bring a large increase in missionary contributions. She offered him $500 if he would remo'e it. "That is not enough," said the pastor. "That mot- to is worth a missionary a year." On inquiring how much a missionary would cost, and being told that $1,200 a year was necessary, she consented to give it. The motto was removed to the Sunday school room where it again began its quiet work, but the woman bad for the first time learned the lesson of stewardship, and since that time has given $50,000 for a lo- cal charity, and still supports her mis- sionary.—From Missionary Ammuni- tion. HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES , •I don't find ironing such a long, monotonous task lately, as I mix a little poetry with it! I have a well -loved book of beautiful poems. I open it and lay it at the least -used end of the ironing table and glance at it frequently, saying the lines aloud. I have memorized a number of poems in this way—and rather like ironing now. .. 5 * * We moved into •a fairly large house in the winter time. I was appalled at the amount of cleaning -before me at that season. I found that the cleaning of the very spacious cellar was simplified by the use of a sweep- ing mixture mode of a pan of saw- dust well moistened with a strong solution 'of javelle water. We also ss ept down the basement walls with a brood moistened in this solution. It made it sanitary anh freshened it until it could be cleaned more thor- oughly in the spring. A friend made a very pretty waste basket for my room, using as the foundation for it an old sap pail. She painted the inside green and used black enamel on the outside. It has a pretty picturepasted 'on one side. * Home -Made Tooth Powder. In the bathroom we keep a salt shaker filled with a mixture of bak- ing soda and camphorated chalk, mixed in the proportion of three parts baking soda to one part chalk.

My little daughter has a gay little box on her bureau in which to keep her handkerchiefs, trinkets, etc. To make it she used a fairly large candy box with a plain cover. She covered the box with large coin spots cut from the colored lining of envelopes. The unworn ends of old bath towels make good bibs for baby.

The Old Mechanic says: Nothin' appeals to a car owner like a smooth runnin' engine. And I'd say that nothin' causes so many en- gines to run roughly es an ignition system that isn't functionin' proper- ly. It's not the fault of the system, either, but of the way it's ignored. Under some conditions the ignition system's got to deliver sparks by the thousands per lninuite to make the engine run smooth; to keep it from missin' beats here and there. It can't do that if distributor breaker points haven't been cleaned or gaps adjusted. ?Somehow or other, lodern motorists seem to think it can. Once we noticed owners pretty nearly always suggested attention to the distributor when they left the car in the shop for anything. Now it's the rare one who remembers to do it. There's room for a big reform here. I believe it's been a couple of months since I've heard any car owner suggest that maybe we ought to look over the connections between the distributor and the spark plugs. Yet any break in the cable'll see the spark get out and cause the engine to miss and run unevenly. Roughness in operation, at low or high speeds, should be the owner's clue to this possible trouble, grantin' that it's rarer right now due to better cables. You'd think that after all that's been said about regular spark plug changes and the importance of *clean sparks and right spark gaps, pos- sige trouble always would be in the owner's mind when his • car lost its pleasing smoothness. Nope, we most always have to tell the motorist about it. I wouldn't want to give a car owner the idea that it's always the ignition when the engine's runnin' rough, but a lot of them ought, to know that a good ignition servicin' is the remedy for their present trouble. Weaning The Litter. Natural weaning gives the bet re- sults with a litter• of young pigs, and to obtain this, feed suitable for young pigs should be provided in the creep. A good mixture for -the pur- pose is a half and half combination of middlings and finely ground oats from which the hulls have been sift- ed. Young pigs will start todibble at feed at about two to four weeks of age, and by the sixth or venth week should be eating quite freely. Under such a procedure shock inci- dental to more abrupt methods is overcome and weaning develops as a natural event. AUTOMOTIVE MUSINGS "Sorry, but we do not take used cars in trade." It is almost impossible to conceive of anything more designed, to revolu- tionize car buying than to have the used car problem solved at one fell swoop by dealers refusing to take them in on new cars. By way of re- assurance, the motor ear owner can be told that there is no imminent dan- ger of such a revolution. At present it is merely an interest- ing speculation based upon a sugges- tion that eventually the automobile in- dustry will solve the used car problem by separating new and used car sales. * * ,* How would it work out? That is the question the consumer of auto- mobiles would like to have answered. Would one just keep his old ear until he had driven out the last mile of value in it? The chances are he would not. As some conceive the sit- uation likely to be created, they vis- ualize something like this: Instead of dealing with the new car retailer when he wanted to dis- pose of a used machine, the owner would take it to a merchant con- cerned only with the purchase and sale of such cars. The car would be worth just so much money to the re- tailers; its worth based entirely upon what lie could sell it for after putting it in reasonably good condition and allowing a handling charge. The dealer would have no new car discount, part of which he might be willing to use to "buy" tlhe sale of a new car to that particular cus- tomer. He would not be able to pay the prices now paid for second-hand machines because his only trading margin would be that involved in What he could get for the ear. * * * \Would it mean, then, that the av- erage new car Imyer would • be com- pelled to pay more for his automobile?' Some of those who hate indtl'lged the speculation to this extent think not. They point- out that, freed from all thought of competitive bidding on tie - ed ears on the part'of those handling eta • CHEVROLET • The world's lowest pried Six. 14 models listing (ram $610 to $840 at factory, taxes extra. • PONTIAC • 6 models, listing from $875 to $1,015 at factory, taxes ems. • OLDSMOBILE . 6 models, listing -from $1,085 to $1,230 at factory, taxes extra.

GM25-15 U^ their products, manufacturers might see their way to lower new car prices somewhat in proportion to the reduc- ed allowance the buyer would get on his old machine. One reason for this would be that the used car dealer would offer powerful competition to the retailer handling only new cars. A special- ist in used cars, in buying and sell- ing them, it is taken for granted that he would compete for the pat- ronage of those who contemplated new cars. And, when the individual came to the used car dealer to trade his old machine, certainly the latter would know of his intention to buy another automobile before the com- peting new car dealer. That would be an advantage in favor of the used car retailer. It is quite possible that the dealer in used cars would merely take over the problem now belonging to the new car merchant; namely that of presenting bargains all to the bene- fit of the buyer, The whole thing, of course, is purely speculative and the possibility of the sale of new and used cars be- ing divorced is remote, indeed. But it is being advocated and the consumer might as well be in on some of the possible considerations involved. * * * Radiator designs may come and go, but one commentator has noticed that the car generally regarded as the world's finest sticks to the old wide, flat, and not -very -deep type. * * * Did you know that: ' It would take considerably more horsepower than it does to drive the fan of an automobile engine at high speeds if the wind coming through the radiator did not help to spin the blades? EMPRESS OF BRITAIN NEW QUEEN OF OCEAN One hundred years is a short span in the life of a country. The past century, however, has almost revolu- tionized living conditions. The ap- plication of electricity for illumina- tion, heating and motive power, the movies, and later the talkies, the tele- phone, the teletype, the radio, the automobile, the utilization of oil for fuel, are but a few of the benefits humanity has received from this per- iod. To Canadians, however, the con- federation of the scattered provinces into one Dominion, and the boon of responsible government are outstand- ing events of the period. A century ago the Royal William, a side-wheeler was launched at Quebec for passen- ger service on the Atlantic, using the St. Lawrence route. One June 1st, there docked at Quebec, after a record passage from Southampton, the new C.P.R. liner, Empress of Britain, per- haps the most palatial steamship in the transatlantic service. In the in- tervening years wonderful progress has been made in the construction of craft of this kind, and evidently the world waits upon the threshold of ad- vancing evolution that will offer oc- ean travel, still greater comforts and luxuries. When these advances come, .Can- adians will confidently expect that the announcement will be made by the great Canadian company, which a short time ago gave the public the opportunities and advatages offered by the Empress of Japan, and now the luxurious ship, Empress of Brit- ain, which docked at W!alfe'e Cove, Quebec, on Monday evening, and which tp use the expression of a Boston tourist agent, stamps Cana- dian Pacific Steamships, Limited, as "The Line of Personality." Distinc- tive names are borne by the ship's public rd'oms. Tihe elegance of the Empress .'16o111 or ballroom is due to its decorations by Sir John Lavery. The Salle Jaefjues Cartier . is the din- ing roan., whose decorative scheme is the 'work of Prank Brangwyn.ay- fair lie the eyitp*essive designation of" the lounge, whose decidedly British atmosphere reflects the skill of Sir Charles Allem. The Mail is a lovely gallery designed by, P. A. Staynes. Oriental imagery and mystery inspir- ed the design of the Cathay Lounge,. or smoking room, while Heath Rob- inson's whimsical humor finds play ort the walls of the Knickerbocker or Cocktail Bar. The docking of this new C.P.S.. liner, which cost $10,500,000, recalls the fact that the Royal William, launched in Quebec one hundreds years ago, cost $80,000; that 44 y,ears ago the first C. P. R. train steamed through the Rocky Mountains into Vancouver, providing a Can- adian route to the Pacific Coast, and eliminating the necessity for,'eastern- ers who desired to reach that part of Canada to spend six weeks or two months making the journey via San Francisco; that in 1885 the same com- pany brought from Scotland the Al- berta, Algoma and Athabasca, the first steel passenger boats to ply on the Upper lakes, and that within the memory of the present genera- tion the efficient and attractive fleet of steamships that ply between Van- couver and the Orient were establish- ed by the same company, thus link- ing this country with the Far East. Many interesting incidents might be related concerning the maiden voyage of the Empress of Britain. True, she was bidden godspeed by the Prince of Wales and brought over to Canada a number of very distin- guished men and women. One of the most alluring personalities aboard, however, was Lady Mount Stephen, the aged widow of Lord Mount Stephen, the first president of the' C.P.R., and one of the builders of the railway. It should also be said that Mr. E. W. Beatty, chairman a n d president, came back to Canada on the Britain's initial voyage and that it was his father, the late Henry Beatty, who personally brought out from Scotland, in 1886, the steel ships that were to constitute the C. P. R. passenger line on the Peeper Lakes. In the new Empress, Canadians will take an especial pride, as she is the product of British shipyards, and is to ply between a Canadian port and Great Britain and Europe, by the shortest transatlantic route. She will, undoubtedly, do much to estab- lish the popularity and the advantage of the St. Lawrence ever other routes for• transatlantic travel; for, like the land whose name she bears and ia whose palm has rested the sceptre of the seas for many decades, the Empress of Britain "will, it is felt, win and hold •supremacy in her own field. hood Bye F 1 y . and all the little files They can't get away, once they touch Aeroxon.
