PRINTED TEXT 1 Timothy 6:6-16; » 2 Timothy 4:16.18. i * GOLDEN TEXT.--I have fought the good fight, | have finished the course, | have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7. ot THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.,--The First Epistle to Tim- othy and the Epistle to Titus were written between Paul's first and second imprisonments at Rome, probably A.D. 63:66. The Seé¢ond Epistle to Timothy = was 'written shortly before Paul's martyrdom, A. D. 67. Place.--It is not known from which city Paul wrote I Timothy and Titus, 2 Timothy- was written from Rome. The Epistles to Timothy were probably sent to him at Ephesus; the Epistle to Titus to Crete. "But Godliness with contentment is great gain." Paul does not 'say that contentment may be found in one's-gelf, but in godlines.. "For we brought nothing into!the world, for neither can we carry any- thing out." (See Job I : 21.) If we brought nothing intc the world, we ought not to be discontented with what the world has given us; it, we can take nothing out of the world, how foolish it is to spend our time in amassing that which, wnen we leave the world, must be left behind! "But having food and . covering we shall be therewith content." The poor man who is content with ithe necessities of life, shelter and food, is happier than the rich man living imported from every country on earth, who still craves a 1arger home, more elegant clothes, a larger yacht, and a greater stable of horses than he can afford. ° "But they that are minded to be rich." Paul does not find fault with men for being rich. Many rich men accept their wealth as wu trust from God, 1 even as a burden laid. upon them by God, and devote themselves conscientiously to its careful and wise expenditure. What he says is that, for those to desire riches, to whom God has not given them, 1s to open the door to serious tempta- tion.--E. F. Brown. "Fall inco a te: ptation and -a snare." The first word" refers to the inducement to sacrifice duty and conscience to the pursuit of wealth; the second, to-the ensnaring power of those connections which wealth necessitates. "And many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition." Probably "destrvetion" refers to the éffects of such pursuits on .nen in this world, and "perdi- tion" to the ultimate results in the_| world to come. "IFor the love of money is a oot of all -inds of -evil." Most commen: tators agree that the change in the Revised" Version from_"the root" to "a root" 1s not justified. .The phrase "lov: of money" is the translation of one word in the Greek, a word used in referring to the Pharisees (Luke 16:14) = "Which some reaching after have been led astray from the 1aith (see also Mark 13:22), and .nave pierced themselves through-- with many sorrows." To C--3 Many a home can bear testimony to the tragedy Paul here depicts-- that when a family, once in moder- ate circumstances, becomes, through one cause or another, wealthy, its members are greatly tempted to be- come. careless in their religious life, to spend the Lord's day in enjoying outings or entertaining friends, but the result of it all is that sorrow multiplies, restlessness deepens, and the joy of the former more simple but more godly life has gone, "But thou, O man of God." A man of God is one who has yielded his life to God, in whom God .works out his purposes, who lives wholly for the glory of God. Such men are few, but they are the inost precious dis- coveries in the world. "Flee these things." That is, flee the things against which Paul has been warn- ing Christians in 'the preceding verses, "And follow after righteous. ness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." The first two here refer to our relationship to God. The sec- ond two are the outstanding virtues: of a Christian man--faith toward God and love toward our fellow-men. The last group of two refers to one's conduct during days of trouble and difficulty. "Fight the good fight of the faith." This might be paraphraged "contend earnestly . for the faith", i.e,, do not weaken or retreat in the great battle into which your life of faith in God will lead you. "Lay hold on the life eternal." We should seem here to have "the voice of the earn- est friend standing at a critical cor- ner of the course and rousing Tims othy to renewed energy. "Whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses." Where this confes- sion. was made and under what cir- cumstances, we do not know. "I charge thee in the sight of God, who gjveth Ife to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Ponts Pilate witnessed the good confes- sion." Such a confession was made all during our Lord's mimstry;: but it was when Jesus' life was hanging in the balance depending on the de- cision of Pontius Pilate that his trust in the protective love of his Father was most tried. "That thou keep . the 'command- ment." 'Commandment' here rerers to the entire conduct becoming a Christian, the law of love, the things a Christian ought always 'to be found doing. "Without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ." The Second Ad- vent of Christ is prominent in all three Pastoral Epistles (2 Tim. 4:1, 8; Titus 2:13). The fact that Christ is coming back again, when truly realized, is always an incentive to the holiest endeavors. -- a "Which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who only hath immor- tality, dwelling in light unapproach- able; whom no man hath seen, nor can see; to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen." Five things are said here about God. He is the blessed One, the solitary Ruler of the universe, the only possessor of' immortality, The Being who is in- highly sanitary conditfon.

"At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account." (Cf, Acts 7:60.) Paul here refers to the preliminary trial of his second im- prisonment which was called the prima actio. He had spoken in his own defense, for, though he had sought legal help, he had sought in vain. Perhaps there was no advocate or lawyer i would dare to defend "such a man as Paul when it was known that Nero was determined to put him- to death, "But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me." The aged one, worn low by labor, suffering, and many sorrows, is not really left alone there to 'his own feebleness. Two are standing there, not one, and the form of the Second is like the Son of God. "That through me the message might be fully pro- Rome who | claimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear." St. Paul is the ardent missionary to the end. His own dan- ger fades from his view as he thinks of the magnificent opportunity which his trial gives him to proclaim Christ before the highest earthly tribunal in the capital of the world. "And I was delivered out of 'the mouth of the lion." (See Ps. 22:21), To what Paul exactly refers here it is diffi- cult to determine. He may here in- dicate that, for the time being, he was saved from a martyr's death. "The Lord will deliver me from every, evil work, and will save me uato his heavenly zingdom: to whom be. the glory for ever and-ever. Amen." Paul does not here mean to say that he expects to be delivered from ultimate death, but from every sin, from all the evil effects directed against him, and the evil influences around him, from all the evil efforts directed against him, and the evil influences around him, from all that would attempt to silence' the testi- mony given in Rome to the gospel. FARM NOTES Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL With the Co-Operation of the Various Departments of the Ontario Agricultural Collgge. 1. Question:--"On land where pas- ture fs partly run out, will fertilizing help to bring it back?" -- J. E., On- tarlo. Answer: --The run-out condition of the pasture is signified by the grow- ing amount of weeds which seem to choke out the valuable grass and leg: umes. Continual pasturing is the same as any other continual cropping, It removes larger quantities of min- eral plant food than is generally thought. Early growth of pasture grass depends to a large extent upon the amount of. nitrogen which is available when ithe young grass be- gins its growth in spring. : In pasture fertilizing tests, we have obtained distinctly profitable re- sults on a beef pasture project where 4-12-6 was applied to a fifty-acre block of pasture at the rate of 375 lbs. per acre, Thir was measured against a similar area unfertilized. The results were a materfal increase in pasturage and great Improvement in the thick- ness and quality of grass grown, In another test where fertilizer was ap- plied i the soil, the pasture days were in. ised from an average of 41 days to an average of 110 days per acre and the milk return was in- creased from 654 Ibs. per acre to 133 Ibs. _ Fertilizer is usually best applied in early spring as soon as the ground is sufliciently dry to bear the team. Fertilizer should be broadcast over the young growing grass at not less than 250 lbs. per acre and preferably 500 Ibs. jor acre. This should give good results for at least three years. Experience shows that it will not only increase the herbage, but the miner- als especially will be effectiv in bringing back clovers and other leg- umes--which--inerease-+ the - protein value of the herbage. - 2.

Hemorrhagic septicaemia is more likely to kill. the soft' pen: grown pig than the pig that has spent the first five months of its life out on the soll, . Susceptible animals can be actively immunized against this disease by the use of bacterins or agressins. Pigs should be {reated early if losses have been experienced in past seasons, or in any event before they are three months old. It takes about 10 days' to produce active ,immunity against the disease, so. the aggressin or the bacterin, which ever is to be used. should be administered at least 10 days before exposure by shipment or otherwise. : : As for treatment, employ good nursing and have the pigs that show any rise in lemperaiare or have been exposed to virulent hemorrhagic sep- ticaemia organisms ~~ (Pasteurellosis suis), injected gic septicaemia .Serum. -- Lionel Stevenson, Provincial Zoologist, Ont, Dept. of Agriculture, lime be sown on land before apply- ing fertilizer?"--R, W., Northumber- land. k Answer: --Lime {is an active correc- tor of soil acidity.
