THE LKSSO.N' IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" We do not know when the tcni[)tation of our fir.st parents took place. The date commonly given a about 4000 B.C. All we know :3 that there were no human people before Adam and Kve and all man- kind on earth today descends from them. Place. â€" The Garden of Eden, the exact location of which is not known. "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made." â€"That -" than the serpent- was present â- ' bv the speech and the rs displayed, but it .ertain by a comparison ") and 20: 2, where the dentified with Satan. That uw was the real tempter is additionally assured by .John 8: 44; i Cor. 11: 3; 1 Tim. 2: 14; 1 John 8: 8. "And he said unto the woman." •^The tempter addres.ses the woman as the more susceptible and un- guarded of the two creatures he would betray. Undoubtedly, the woman was alone, and, while the point need not be stressed, it is when we are alone that temptation most powerfully assails us. "Yea. hath God said. Ye shall not •at ot any tree of the garden?" â€" Satan begins his temptation, and this should be most ctircfully noticed by attacking the word of God. ".\nd the woman said unto the •erpcnt. Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. But (â- { the fruit of the tree which Is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." â€" To begin with, the woman made a great mis- take in arguing w*th Satan. She â- hould have deliberately demanded that lie leave her presence â€" Be sub- ject, therefore, unto God; but re- sist the devil, and he will flee from Tou. (James 4: 7). As soon as we begin to argue with Satan about the Word of God, we shall be compro- mising with the sin into which i.e Would lca<l us. "And tlio serpent said unto the Woman, Ye shall not surely die." â€" This i.s the first lie told in human history; others were soon to follow. This denial sounds as strong as pos- â- ible: the brevity and completeness •f the expression make the cflntra- fllction absolute. "For God doth know that in the day yo eat thereof, then your eyo^s â- hall bu opened, and ye shall be is God, knowing good and evil." â€" Satan here appeals to the woman's pride, and. at the same time, leads her to almost hate God, for having as he would insist, cheated her of life's highest privileges. Satan prom- ised her two things if she would eat of this tree: that her eyes should be opened, and that she would be >\3 God, in that she would know good and evil. Satan himself had fallen from his high place in heaven be- cau.sc he attempted to be as God. (Isa. 14: 12â€"14; 2 Thesa. 2: 4). ".And when the woman saw that the tree v. as good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise." â€" St. John Speaks of "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the vain- glory of life" (1 John 2: 10). The Arst is here to be found in the phrn.se, "good for food"; the second In ti'e phrase, "a delight to the •yes"; and the last in the phrase "to bo desired to make one wise. " Christ's three-fold temptation in the wilderness involved these three ele- ment--. ".She took of the fruit thereof, and flid eat."â€" .She did this deed. Sat:in did not do it for her, the tive did not do it, the gaidcn did not do it, her enviiotiment and circuin- â- taiK-cs did not do it, and God did not (!i) it. It was surely not hi!r hertdity that led her to do this deed. This deed was her own per- ion: I, willful, responsible act, and the Idanie of it must rest on her forever. "And she gave also unto her hus- band with her, and ho did eat." â€" tve v.a's given to Adam as a help- meet: instead she hero exercises her pov.-er over Adam, and takes advan- tage of his love and high regard for her in leading him into the samu sin in which she had just indulged. There was every reason in the world Why Eve should not have yielded to this temptation. She was not hound by i>ny previous habits of indulg- ence. God had distinctly given her a roinmnnd not to do what she did do. God had given her a command lor life. The temptation came through an animal beneath her, not through an angel above her, and, ^nally, there was not the slightest {hre3t on the part of Satan to force ler into this sin! <•â-  "And the eyes of them both were opened.." â€" Thus far the promise of Satan was kept, but never did Eve dream that the t"onsequcnccs of her sin would be what she now dis- covered them to be. "And they knew that they were naked ; and they sewed fig-leaves to- gether, and made for themselves aprons." â€" A sense of shame, a con- sciousnes of guilt now possessed our first parents, who, up to this day, knew nothing but innocence. They had a knowledge of sin, of personal guilt, of broken law whi:;h was never to leave the human heart, and never will until the redeemed ones of God are in glory. "And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the present"e of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden." â€" The voice of the Lord which they heard in the garden was either "the noise of his foosteps (cf. Lev. 26: 12; Deut. 23: 14; 2 Sam. 5: 24); or the thunder that accompanied his approach (ef. Ex. 9: 23; Job 37: 4, 5; Psalm 29: 3, 9.); for the sound of his voice, as Calvin and others think; or, probably, all four." And Eve hid themselves between the trees of the garden, because they knew they were guilty of sin and had disobeyed God, who was now ap- proaching them. "And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him. Where art thou?" â€" This is one of the sad- dest and yet most precious verses in the Bible. It is the first question ever asked by God in the Holy Scriptures, and it was asked, not that God did not know where his sinning creatures were, but that he might get them to confess where they were. "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid." â€" This is the first occurrence of the word "fear" in the Bible. It will be found again and again as human hi-i- tory is recorded. But the voice from heaven, often through angels, and, ultimately, through the Lord Jcsus Christ, is 'fear not', providing man accepts God's gracious redemp- tion. "Because I was naked; and I hid myself." â€" Sad it is to note that man's first word to God, as far as the divine record goes, was a lie. Man did not hide hmiself because he was naked, for he was treated naked, and often before this he had fellowship with God and never had thought of hiding. Furthermore, in this case, he was not naked, for ho had devised for himself a covering to hide his nakedness. The truth was that he hid himself because he had sinned, and was afraid of God, but he would not acknowledge it. "And he said. Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not cat?" Thus God at once points to Adam to the true cause of his nakedness and intimates God's cognizance of his transgression. "And the man said. The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and 1 did eat." It is cowardly of Adam to at- tempt to blame Eve for his fall, as if Eve's giving him of the fruit of the tree was any reason why Adam should have partaken of it. "And Jehovah God said unto the woman. What is this thou hast done? And the wo'nan .said. The ser- pent beguiled me, and I did eat." I.et particular attention be paid to what the woman said regarding her sin: The serpent beguiled me. Liter- ally this word means deceived, and cl<-arly indicates that Eve knew she had been tricked by the devil, and that she had not obtained liy her sin the things which Satan had pro- mised her. Every man can testify that sin is the great deceiver. "And Jehovah God said unto the .seri)ent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art tliou above all c:itlle and above evciy beast of the field, upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the (lays of thy life." The serpent is allowed no trial. This is not Satan's initial sin. This sentence has a literal application to the serpent. The curse of the scr- peiit lies in a more grovelling nature thna that of the other land animals. This appears in its going on its bel- ly and its eating the dust. "And I will put enmity between thee and the vvomaii, anil between thy seed and her .seed: he shall biuise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.' This is the first promise and prophecy of Christ in the Scriptures and, as Dr. A. T. Pierson well said: Aa the oak is germinating in the aL<orn, and the eagle in the egg, all subsequent Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament are here in germ. There is racredly added, in the whole afterglow of such prophecy, one idea that is absolutely new, other pre- dictions growing out of and expand- ing this germinal prediction. ^- Jm * ^^^^^^^^^H _^^ri^Ht l^i m^ .-^B HHpF^- ««=r^r 1 m^Kt me^ 'Wk^^^^^^^H ^^^kt.... .>'« 1^: iP^H ^^^^^^^^^^^ ;.

First I would excuse myself by saying that as I ate only twice a day, and often, in between meals, cycled nearly 100 miles, I de- veloped an appetite of gigantic pro- portions! I am ignorant of the French and Finnish equivalents, but here is the list taken from my diary :â€" 1. Salted, uncooked herring. 2. Salted, uncooked .salmon. 3. Some cold fried fish, a little paler in color than salmon. 4. Some pickled fi.sh about the size of a pilchard. 5. Cold boiled salmon. 0. A kind of hot wiener schnitzel with peas. 7. Cold roast reindeer meat. 8. Slices ,.f meat, rather like haiselctte. !•. Slices of a large sausage. With the meat dishes were eaten slices of hard- boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes and a kind of rich mayonnaise, in which were chopped carrots and other vegetables. 10. Two helpings of cold pancakes with stewed fruit like bil- berries. 11. Biscuits and cheese. This was accompanied by six gla.sses of milk, which men drink every- where in Scandinavia, and finished off with coffee. I would mention that in addition there were the following dishes available, but which on this occa- sion I did not require: Four other kinds of fish and cold ham, brawn, pickled pork, liver sausage and a mixture of chopiied meat, beetroot and other v(;gctable3, all to be eat- en, if desired, with potatoes in their skins.

Câ€" 3 FARM NOTES CoiKliicted by PHUhhSSUK lltiNKY (i. BELL With the Co-Operation of the Various Departments of the Ontario Agricultural College. QUESTION:â€" "What is consider- ed the best way to handle manure so as to get the most out of it? Someone advised us to leave the manure in the barnyard until you could draw it out and plow it under. Wo have a spreader, and this year we drive up on the pile with the horse and stone-boat every day and as there is not much straw in it the pile is frozen too much to use a spreader like I see some farmers doing this winter. Would it be better not to drive on it so it could heat, and be able to draw it out frequently?"â€" A. S. G., Oxford County. ANSWER:- Kegarding the handl- ing of manure: If you can keep it fairly well compacted in the barn- yard, so that the liquid manure is not lost, you will retain the largest amount of plantfood in it. I believe it is all right for you to drive on the manure pile to keep it fairly well compacted. If you have the labor to take it out in the Spring, as soon as the weather will permit, you should get good results by handling it this way. QUESTION:â€" 1. What would yoa recommend for top dressing of Fall wheat this Spring (Fall application of 150-200 lbs. of '2-12-10). What is the most economical and effecti\e â€" Ammo-Phos. Cyanamid, Sulphate of Ammonia, and Nitrate of Soda? 2. Is it po.ssible that a sandy c-lay loam with lime stones in it can be lacking the very lime neces.sary f-ir plant growth? 3. Could 1 expect, under fair growing conditions, a good yield of barley by using about 4-25-20 in- available plantfood in fertilizer on light sandy elay loam, high, western slope along the river, the soil not very productive, plowed last sum- mer. To add some more nitrogen and kill the mustard, I intend to top dress with 50 lbs. of Cyanamid. Would like to know if this wou-ldi be very harmful to the barley? 4. Has Cyanamid any advantage ever Sulphate of Ammonia? Can it be mixed with Superphosphate and Muriate of Soda. Nitrate »f Soda is immediately soluble and there is danger that you may lose some if it if heavy rains come immediately after it is applied. Sulphate of Am- Brief Comment V ui \'Ucii;ioi.i y^ nt.

Sulphate of Ammonia is n little slower than Nitrate of Soda and the results are prolonged. Ammo-Phos would add Phosphor* acid, as well as Nitrogen, which yo< have already added in the 12 pel cent in your 2-12-10. Cyanam;< gives best results if it is worked int( the damp soil, therefore I wouh recDmmend it as a top dressing fo; wheat. 2. I have known soils with lime stones in them to be lacking ii available lime for crops, but this if not usually the case. Would it no^ be well to send us a sample of the soil (about M pint) so that we maj test it and tell you whether it neeil| lime or docs not. Mail the .sampli in a little cotton bag, addressing i( to the Department of Chemistry; O.A.C., Guelph, Ont me at the same time the sample. There is no charge the testing. 3. 4-25-20 would be a well ba anceJ fertilizer for barley. It is little higher than double 2-12-1 anrl 2-12-10 has been found in ou tests and by many others to be best adapted for production of malting barley on t medium to- sandy loaifl soil. A top-dressing with 50 lbs, Cyan- amid to kill' mustard would be in the right direction. It will not be permanently harmful to the growinif barley. It may turn a few of t:i« leaves yellow, hut the added' nitrj. gen will help the barley recover from this temporary setback verj rapidly. 4. Cyanamid' carrier 22 lbs. of nitrogen and 10 lbs. of lime to the 100 lbs. It is therefore dis- tinctly alkaline in its action on the soil, while Sulphate of Ammonia it decidedly acid in its action on the soil. Cyanamid -annot be mixed in large quantities with Superphos- phate, ff it is so mixed, the lime of the Cyanamid' will revert or turn back the soluble- phosphate in the Superphosphate to the insoluble form. Cyanamid can be mixed with Muriate- of Potash without any il' eflfectic- : them guilty. It was their way of squeaking.â€" Detroit Free Press.
