The members are pursuing a course in home-nursing themselves as part of the monthly program. This exempli- fies the close co-operation being achieved between home and school through the Home and School commit- tees of the branches. School Fairs and supervised :play- grounds, community halls, improved cemeteries, a better water supply, hos- pitals, and above all, the possibility of securing community nurses as well as medical school inspection, enlisted the sympathetic activity of many other localities. One branch adopts the charming custom of providing the first bride among the members each year with a comfortor made by the Institute. A method of getting every member to take part in each meeting was a roll call to be answered by a quota- tion, a recipe, some item of news in- terest, or a fine of five cents! An ambulance was supplied to the community at Cochrane and two orphan babes mothered at Englehart by the Institutes. : Demonstrations Are Appreciated. Mr. G. A. Putnam, Superintendent of Farmers' and Women's - Institutes for Ontario gave a masterly review of the present situation and future pos- sibilities of the work in this province and received a warm welcome as chief of a Branch of Government service extending such a strong helpful hand pam Foe of women or omes and community. Even where the set- tlers were too far apart to do this, as that brave spirit of the far north, Mrs, lett, lecture-demonstrator for the of Agriculture testi- fied, a measure of assistance was forthcoming. Great appreciation of the Summer schools; the promotion by counsel and Sanhed demonstrations in horticulture and trial for decision to the with whom he himself would sit, Paul, standing on his rights as a Ro! citizen, appealed to Oae- sar at Rome. This appeal brought the i close, ch. 26: 1-11.

The lesson occurs in the account given of this appearance, ch. 25: 18 to 26: 82. L Paul's Defence, 19-23. Vs. 19, 20. Whereupon; Rev. Ver.

But that time was Unto the heavenly vision; whi he had beheld 'on the road to Damascus, ch. 9: 1-9, The word "vision" is not to be understood as signifying anything unreal. It was an objective revelation of divine things, as was proved by Paul's blind- ness. Shewed; Rev. Ver., "declared." The word signifies the delivery of a message. Saul was henceforth God's evangelist. At Jerusalem; with such boldness that the Jews sought to kill him, At all coasts (Rev. Ver., "coun- try") of Judea.

For these causes; '"be- cause I preached to Jews and Gentiles alike, proclaiming one Gospel to both, and placing both om an equality before God" (Expositor's Greek Testament). The Jews seized me (Rev. Ver.). The words describe a violent arrest. Went about; planned an attempt. To kill me; literally "lay hands upon me," and so to kill me. (Compare ch. 21: 17-34).

Words of truth; and not the wild imaginings of a mind diseased. Sob- erness; so sense. V. 26, The king knoweth, Agrippa, at one time, as we have seen, was in ch , under the Romans, of the mple at Jerusalem; he was well ac- te: it Tr therefore, with the religion - of the Jews and their expectation of a Messiah. Besides, he must have heard something of the Christians, since his father had beheaded James with a sword and had cast Peter into prison (see ch. 12: 1-4).

Except these bonds; the chains which bound him to his keeper in prison, and which now hung heavily about the apostle. Vs, 30-32. Nothing worthy of death. Luke is careful to explain that both the Roman Festus (ch. 26: 18) and the Jewish Agrippa found Paul to be innocent. This was a great testimony to his hero. Set at liberty, etc., but his continued imprisonment was to be- come the means of his being carried to Rome, whither he longed to go with the gospel message. Application. What about us? We have had our heavenly vision. We know about that perfect one toward. whose achievement we should all seek to approximate, Are we able to say I was not diso- bedient to the heavenly vision? This grand surrender of our all to Jesus will do as much for us as it did for Paul. We too need some kind of an experience that will make us cease from crying, "Who shall deliver me from the body of this death," and make us begin to say as with a shout of joy, "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Many other vi- sions rise to lure us, visions of leasure, possession, power; but their fe leads to death. There is only one vision worth trusting fully. As the mighty 'Tennyson would put it: "After it, follow it Follow the gleam, the gleam of all that Jesus ever was, --the gleam of all that we can ever be through Him. $ Live Stock Improvement.
