THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--A.D. 36. - : Place.--Samaria, the region in Palestine between -Judaea and Gali- lee; Gaza, an old city of the Philis- tines fifty miles southwest of Jeru- stlem; Azotus, thirty miles north of Gaza; and Caesarea, a coastal city, midway between Joppa and Tyre. "Arise, and. go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza." ~ "Gaza was the southermost of the five great cities which the Philistines had for- merly occupied, and was on the route which a traveller from Jerusalem to Egypt would follow (Josh. 10 : 41; 15: 47; Judges 1 : 18; 16 : 1, 21). "The same is desert." "There were at least two roads, -probably three, from Jerusalem to Gaza; Philip is said to take 'the desert road,' prob- ably the one by Hebron, which went through the- desert hills of southern Judaea." SRL - : "And he arose'and went." No doubt Philip wondered why God should at 'his tinie take him away from a work which was : being so abundantly blessed, and ask him to go down into this hot southern country where there could not possibly be as important a center for preaching as tha city of Samaria. Nevertheless, he instantly obeyed. "And behold, a man .of Ethiopia." The general name given to the country south of Egypt, now called Nubia and Abyssinia, "A .| eunuch of great authority under Can- dace, queen of the Ethiopians." The name "Candace" was the name of a series of queens of Meroe, just as "Pharoah," at an earlier period, and 'Ptolemy," later, were general names for the kings of Egypt. "Who was over-all her treasure." Certainly a man of great importance, and one, no doubt, of sterling character, who: could be entrusted with cle treasury of this great kingdom. "Who had come to Jeruselem to worship." This brief clause is exceptionally rich in suggestiveness. This man of author- ity --had - travelled "twelve hundred niles from his native country to wor- ship in the capital cit. of the Jews. "And he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah." He' was probably reading this book in a Greek version; it may casily be that he had pur- chased a copy of Isaiah in Greck when in Jerusalem. "And the Spirit said unto Phillip." "For the first time in the book of in the next five years. 000 in building 5,000 miles of roads' Acts, we see the Holy Spirit no longer 39 moving upon the multitude, but ¢dn- descending to become the personal guide of one believer." "Go near, and join thyself to this chariot." The phrase "join thyself" expresses "the act of sticking to the chariot," "not losing sight of it or leaving it until the divine purpose was accomplished." "And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah-the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?' Aside from the -definite direction of the Holy Spirit in Philip's asking this question, two things are to be understood here: Philip had a redl concern for the spiritual welfare of those whom he met by the way, a virtue which Christian believers to- day do most especially need. Both are nceded by all of us--a love for souls and a knowledge of the Word of God, by which we can bring souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. - - "And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him," The word here translat- ed "guide" is exactly the same word used by the Lord Jesus when he pro- mised the disciples that the Holy Spirit - would "guide 'you into all truth" (John 16 : 13). _ "Now: the passage-of the scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: In his humiliation his judge- ment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth." The quotation is from the Septua- gint or Greek version of Isaiah 53 : 7, 8. Of course -the entire fifty-third- 'chapter of Isaiah refers to the Mes- siah who was to come, and would suffer. under the hand of God for the sins of man, i "And the euniich answere:. Philip, and said, I:piray thee, of whom speak- eth the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?" Perhaps the idea that this' chapter in Isaiah might re- fer, not to the Messiah, but to Isaiah hiraself, had been expounded at Jeru- salem in the hearing of the Ethiopian, and, in the confusion of-Jewish inter- pretdtions, he did not know which rea.ly to believe. Ke "And Philip-opened his n.outh, an begining from this scripture, preach- ed unt) him Jesus." How the heart of this African must have been moved as he discovered all the. phrases of Isaiah's prophecy to be, as it were, the very lines of a portrait that de- picted perfectly 'and humiliation and death of the Messiah! "And as they went on ihe way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" Undoubtedly. Philip must have .been tism, after he had explained to him tism was not a rite commonly prac- ticed' among the Jews. AR "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. Cer- tainly this verse would at least indi- cate that Philip and the eunuch were standing in the water, though the phrase cannot be made to necessarily imply submersion. Into 'the question of the miode of baptism, we do not choose to enter. God is equally hon- tism. by sprinkling, peuring or im- 'tian. experience in all of these com- ""And when they came 'up out of the water, the Spirit ol the Lerd eaught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing." "As far as we can poos'bly tell, the new convert went on his first journey homeward with tism to help him, bereft, we under- star.d, of all Christian surroundings-- no Christian public worship, no Chris- tion 'New Testament. Aye, but he had the supreme secret. He had found the Lord. "But Philip was found ..t Azotus." This is another name for Ashdod, one of the old cities of the Philistines, about thirty miles from Gaza, mid- way between it and Joppa. "And passing through he preached the gos- pel to all the cities till he came to Caesarea," Among these would cer- tainly be Joppa, 'Lydda, and the nu- merous villages -in the fertile plain 'between Ashdod and Caesarea. The latter was the chief city of Palestine under Roman rule at the extreme north of -the plain of Sharon (see Acts 10 : 1; 21 : 8). Here we find Philip again, twenty years later, en- tertaining Paul and Luke.

With this end in view, the Lethbridge Experimental sential facts of the art, both® from their own horticulturalists and 'from other alithorities, Most flowers must be 'cut either early in the morning- when the dew is still on them, or ir the cool of the evening. peonies, 'dahlias, and gladioli respond * best when cut in the evening but-it is to be remembered that dahlias must be cut in full bloom, iris, poppies and they show a good color. - The "tip" about the bloom makes all the differ- ence. The method of cutting -is also im- portant. Slanting cuts with a.sharp knife are the best. Shears crush or bruise the stem and thus the free rise of water through the stalks to the leaves and blossoms is impeded. One great advantage of the slanting cut is that the stems arc prevented from resting flat on the bottom of the vase and thereby checking the upward flow of water. or After the flowers have been cut, the next thing to do is to immediately soak them for several hours in deep, cool water. Their prolongation of life is helped by quick action the moment they are gathered. - Thick-leaved flowers, such as stocks,.gnapdragons, zinnias, and petunias need at least 10 'to 12 hours soaking before they are | arranged in the vase. In the case of 1lilacs, spirea, honeysuckle, and other floral decorations of the woody sort, satisfactory results have been obtain- ed by splitting, or pounding and serap- ing the stems before soaking. How- ever, with reference to dipping stem in boiling water before being soaked in cold, there is still' some doubt, al- though on occasions such flowers: as i poppies, hollyhock, mignonette, and dahlias have benefited by this method. Nearly everyone knows that cutting the stems of arranged flowers once a day helps to prolong -their freshness, but in this regard one common mis- take is made: the cutting must be done under water. This prevents air bubbles from forming in: the stems and preventing the free flow of water. Adding one-quarter to one-half tea- spoon of charcoal or permanganate of potash, obtainable from any drug- store, prevents the growth of bacteria on the cut end, and the use of one or two drops of creolin. or similar disivg fectant tends to prolong the life of the flower, but aspirin has not proved effective. Pansies in particular find it diffi- cult to draw water through their stems, so these flowers, and also nas- turtiums, are benefited by being plunged up to their blossoms in cool water for half, an hour at eight-hour intervals, Warm and hot draughts cause immediate wilting in cut flow- ers, dahlias in particular being quick- ly affected.. With regard to contain- ers, one floriculturist has discovered that cut flowers last longer jn copper vessels than in any other type of vase. Children and M ovies Observes-the Woodstock Sentinel- is growing up. in Montreal 'a generation of young people who have never seen a mc:- ing picture until 16 years. of age. There 'was a fire in a theatre in Montreal. nine years ago when 66 children - perished. The Quebec. law _ was amended, prohibiting childien attending theatres. Recently a brewing company sponsored a plan to give the pro- scribed youngsters a treat. by pre- senting moving pictures on a screen in one of the parks, The commission controlling the parks does no: favcr the idea' and it has submitted that to permit children to wander in the darkness would be dangerous. There are sinister characters abroad in Montreal parks at night. It might be possible for individual aldermen to arrange for open air picture shows in their own wards, but the proposal for a general opening of the public playgrounds for evening' entertain- nent is in disfavor with the authori- | ties. If Quebec persists: in its attitude of keeping youth out of the picture shows, the result will- be interesting as a study in the effect of environ- ment. Quebec children to the age of 16 are debarred, from attending pic- ture shows. In other parts of the ° Domion there is no such prohibition. If the pictures aré harmful to youth, the Quebec population ought to show superiority which some ¢ritics of the pictures predict. On the other hand there are those who say that the proscribed! Quebec children are be- ing denied an advantageous oppor- tunity for educative stimulation. Fire Dept.
