Bar- nabas is translated to mean "The son of consolation." Moffat translates it "The son of encouragement." The life of Barnabas fulfils both translations. He had a discerning mind and a warm heart.

The character of Barnabas s described in the same words as that of Stephen. The words of Barnabas had weight, as coming from a repre- sentative of the mother Church in Jerusalem, but his real power came through his character and his spirit- filled life. Much people was added. A new impetus was given to the work of grace. III. BARNABAS BRINGS A HELPER, Al 11: 25-80.

There are many ideals set before men in the world's literature, and some of them are in direct con- tradiction to the Christian standard. Barnabas may almost be taken as the Christian ideal, "a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith." There is usually much restraint in the sa- ered writers, no fulsome eulogy. The facts are stated, and speak for them- selves. Luke, however, sometimes seems to take us right into the confi dence of the disci; and lets us know what he and they thought of some of their great-hearted comrades. We are thankful for as much as we know about Barnabas. In the Acts after the Day of Pente- cost Paul is a dor figure. His (missionary journeys and his ri- ences take all the latter part of the Acts, and his Epistles constitute a _oil in guantities, Be| Dissolve in boiling water Use enough to get a big lasting suds Big lasting suds--one secret of Rinso's amaz- ing power to dissolve dirt.

Bees coming in heavily ladened are apt to miss the narrow projection on the hive and fall into the deep grass. . and frequently die in the effort. of making an alighting board or ground for the bees at the entrance of the hive. Some bee-keepers prefer to set the hive close to the ground, cut the grass away and make an alighting ground with sand, sawdust, or scrape the ground so as to kill the grass. These methods have some advantages, However, I like an alighting board made the width of the hive, about ten inches wide, and of white pine ma. terial. i large part of the New Testament.

The sand or sawdust method obviates this difficulty, The important matter is to be sure and provide some kind of an alighting board. The life of a bee during the busy honey gathering season is very short. The hard-working beed are the ones that come home heavily laden with pollen. Sometimes on account of the distance the bee has to go to gather the honey it comes home well worn out, its wings somewhat cut short and aged, it falls at the entrance of the hive. An alighting board will some- times save the load, even though the busy little worker gives way for an- other.--Leo C. Reynolds. reeset mm "Tho fy 1s no friend of the horse.

Some patients living in districts in- fested with have taken it ° for granted that this very common weed was the trouble-maker and gone ahead on that supposition with good success. yo The next step is to take injections of an extract of the particular weed pollen that excites the disease. These injections may be given by any doctor. The most successful plan is to admin- ister them before the hay fever seca- son comes and thus have them serve as a vaccine against the disease. How- ever, the advocates of the treatment claim that helpful results are obtain- ed even when the treatment is not begun until the attack has developed. This method of treatment has now been on trial for several years. It is not universally successful, yet it has served many severe cases, and even when not giving full relief may serve to check the most annoying symptoms, It is good only for the year in which it is administered; but every hay fever sufferer agrees that any relief is worth while, no matter how frequent the need of repetition. smn ees Rotted and Unrotted Speaking of the value ; the Dominion Field Husbandman 4 E.
