THE LESSO.N' IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" St. Paul began his first missionary journey during the summer of A.D. 47. He wrote the First Epistle to the Corinthians from Ephesus about A.D. 56. ,Place. â€" The apostles set forth on their first journey from Anti- och to Syria; they spent consider, able time on the island of Cyprus, Paul's first recorded sermon was delivered in the synagogue of An- tioch, the city of Corinth, to which the first Epistle to the Corinthi- ans was addressed, was located in central Greece. We CO e in this chapter to one of the epochal periods in the his- tory of the Christian church, the beginning of Paul's great mission- ary journeys, by which the gospel was carried to the uttermost parts of the Mediterranean world. Not long before this, the Lord told Ananias that Paul would stand before kings. This promise is now fulfilled, and the first-fruits begin to be har\-ested. Wherever the gospel has gone, there has been victory over every evil pow- er, and the emancipation of men from the chains and bondage of superstition and sin. Paul At Antioch Acts 13:14-43. From Paphos Paul set sail for the coast of Asia Minor, and, landing at Perga in Pamphylia, he and Barnabas went the province of Pisidia, where were the province of Pisidia, whcr were living a considerable number of Jews, sufficient to require the building of a synagogue. To this synagogue on the Sabbath day Paul and those who were with him repaired; before the service was over this city had heard a great sermon from the greatest preach- er of the first century concerning a subject about which probably none of them had ever heard be- fore, the gospel of Josus Christ. 16. And Paul stood up, and bec- koning with the hand said. .Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear- ken. 23. Of this man's seed God .ac- cording to promise brousht unto Israel a Saviour, Jesu.s. That God would raise up One from the line of David to be a Savior, all the Old Testament testified. Wh.it Paul is about to tell them, noweve., is not only that their Scriptures promised that such a person would come, but that he had come, in the per- son of Jesus of Nazareth, born and crucified in their very genera- tion. 24. When John had first preach- ed before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25. And as John was ful- filling his course, he said. What suppose ye that I am? I am not be. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet 1 am not worthy to unloose. 26. Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth. 27. For they that dwell in Jeru- salem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read ev- ery sabbath, fulfilled them by con- demning him. 28. And thou;,'h they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain. 29. And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, aad laid him in a tomb. 30. But God raised hiin from the dead. Here was the most as- tonishing statement that could have possibly fallen upon the ears of these people. Paul says that God, his God and their God, had raised this man from the dead, a double miracle, a miracle in na- ture and a miracle in divine gov- ernment. He goes on to present further evidence to prove this astonishing fact that ho has just announced. First, he declares that this person raised from the dead was actually seen, and that some bo had seen the Lord were still living in Pale.'^tino, and witnes.sing ti> this fact. SI. .\nd he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jeru- salem, who arc now his witnesses unto the people. 38. Be it known unto you there- fore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto yiu rcmis- lion of sins: 39. and by him every one that belicveth is justified from all things, from v\hich ye couM not be justified by the law of Mo- tes. The most important part of his firat recorded semion Paul lays stress oii his favorite doctrine of justification, or the declared ac- t;u:ttal from the guilt of sin, a tbivK not obtained through the Mosaic law, but on!y through the icath and rising again of Christ, He /s Risen Lamb's The Meat At Easter Time Has Long Beeti Associated With The Festivities Of The Spring Season. Lam'j is a me;r. that has long been iissociated with the Easter season. Early hi the history o( the world, lamb was used in religious ceremonies, the Israelites, during their captivity In Kgypr, keeping up their old pracMie as a pastoral peopio of sacrilicing ;he firstlings of I'nelr flocks in the sprinj;. Among the Anglo-Saxons. Norse- men and other Teutonic races, the and tiirou^h it sinners trust on his saving work. Heart Of Christian Meisage In tliis glorious i-hapter in First Corinthians "we find the central, classic passage dealing with the subject of resurrection in the >iew Testament. .\ftcr proving the historic real- ity of Christ's physical resurrec- tion Paul proceeds to emphasize the tremendous importance of such a fact. If a man does not believe in the resurrection of Christ, he does not have the Christian message ; he does not have anything to preach of any value; and he most certainly can- not talk about salvation in Jesus Christ. Christ's resurrection is, among other things, an indisput- able testimony to God's full ac- ceptance of Christ's work for us on the cross. It'. If we have only hooed in Christ iu this life, we are of all men most pitiable. 20. Hut now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of them that are asleep. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Paul proceeds from a discussion of Christ's resurrection as a his- toric fact to an application of the fact to our own live.^. On t'no one hand, Christ's resurrection is a guaranty of ours: he is the first- frui'.s; we shall follow. On the other hand, Paul says that this truth, instea<l of giving us an excuse for carelessnss in our daily life, should prove a Ire- n^endous incentive to holy living here, now, daily. feast of Eostre of Ostara, the An- glo-Saxon goddess of spring, was celebrated ;a April, which was named Eosturmona:li, or Easter month, when j-oung lambs were principal items at all the feasts. With the coming of Christianity, and the celebration of the Chris- tian Easter, the tr,adltional use of lamb still persisted, aad so on to the present day. Canadian Lamb At Best More Cau.adiau farm< ;s are spe- cializing in t!ie raising' ;:;id fatten- ing of lam'js for the Easter mar- ket. Muuy tiiousaads of western range lambs were placed in feed- lots both in Eastern and Western Canada last f.TJI. After several months of feeding on the best of alfalfa, silage, roots aad home grow:! grains, these lambs are now ready fur slaughter and ai-e being marketed from week to week. The quality of the product is at its best. Ltunb will therefore be iu season at Easter time; iu fact, Canadian lamb of quality is avail- able throughout the entire year. Pasture Care Not Expensive Pasture experiments during the last decade or so have demon- strated very strikingly the Im- provements that can be secured ;n yield aad quality of pasture herb- age and that these can be secured In yield and quality of pasture herbage aud that these can be secured very economically. Kxperl- ments conducted at the Fredorlcton E^xperimcntal Station, states T. C. Chlassoii. agricultural assistant, have shoi- u how pasture yieiUs can be incre<ised by the use of commer- ciel fei'tilizer. A pastnro field receiving a com- plete fertilizer since 1928. has giv- en an average yield, for the last three years, of 7.-77 pounds dry matter per acri>. compared with a yield of 3.30;! pouuds dry matter per acre tor a tield that had no fer- tilizer SiUco 1923. This was an in- crease of 3.974 pouuds of dry mat- ter costing 13.61 or $1.82 per ton. Therefore there does not seem to bo any doubt that fertilizing will increase yielda economically. The herbage on the fertilised pasture was also ranch more valu- able as It was made up- largely of nutritious grasses and clovers, while the herbage on the unfertil- iied pastiu'e was composed largely of unpalatable grasses and weeds. Eggs For Easter An Old Tradition The origin of the Easter egg tra- dition is lost In aotiquiiy but year after year the delightful pract'ee of adorning the breakfast ne with eggs ou Easter Sunday morn- ing cunllQues. It matters not that the first fresh eggs uo longer come with Easter, the beginning of Spring. The modern model of the humble hen may, and usually does, produce her excellent product the year round. Easter is still associat- ed with eggs, with the ben scratch- ing in the warming earth, newly aware of her destiny. Eggs, in the Easier tradition, are always boiled In the shell. For children, of course, they must be colored, with one of an iniinite variety of home or commercial preparations. No parents, treasur- ing childhood memories of bowls of multi-colored eggs on Easter morning, irould deny a similar pleasure to their children. For children, pullet eggs, it they are available, will prove an added attraction, their small size lending a youthful touch and having the further practical advantage of en- abling Junior to dispose of a great- er number. These small eggs are sold under the designation of Grade A Pullet. $1,175,000 Daily For Airplanes Great Britain is spending $1,- 76O,O0C daily on the production of military aircraft. Sir Kingsley Wood, Secretary for Air, announc- ed in the House of Commons last week. By the end of March Britain will have 1,750 first-line 'planes and an undisclosed number as re- serve equipment. She also has at present 500 first-line machines ov- erseas. Sir Kingsley was confid- ent first-line strength would be 2,370 'planes a year hence. The \BOOK :>HELF\ By ELIZABETH EEDY "CANADIAN MOSAIC" By John Murray Gibbon Royal appreciation of the book "Caoadian Mosaic," a recently published study of Canadian racial origins, by John Murray Gibbon, has been expressed to the author through Alan Lascelles, assistant private secretary to King George VI, who writes from Buckingham Palace by Royal Command. The following quotation from the let- ter is authorized for publication: "In view of His Majesty's forth- coming visit to Canada, he is greatly interested by this study of the racial origins of the Cana- dian people."

Smith, president of the Whyte Packing Company, Strat- ford, Ontario, although Mr. Smith stated that he did not anticipate a \eTy large increase, says the .Stratford Beacon-Herald. Farmers are holding back their cattle until that date when the present tariff of three cents on cattle exported to the United States is reduced to two cents. This will mean a considerable ad- ditional return to farmers and as feed is cheap and plentiful they are holding on to their stock. The Canadian market does not seem to be able to absorb heavy heef cattle, Mr. Smith said. When exports are resumed under the new quota heavj' shipments to the United States are anticipated. The Toronto market at present is dull. There is no intimation that hog prices will be any higher in the aear future, Mr. Smith said. Pri- ces are remaining firm, but the wholesale price is below value right now. The prices are run- ning a little helow last year's level. Production of military 'plan«i in Canada will start next year, the Minister said adding: "Here "we have the beginning of a great develofunent and what nsay prove to be a valuable sup- plement to our production."
