_ negotiations - _ should Hints on Growing Of House Plants Hot, Dry Atmosphere of Home Must be Combatted If SUNDAY "SCHOOL LESSON You Are to Achieve 8 The chief difficulty encounter- ed in growing plants in the home is the hot, dry atmosphere. This can be controlled to some extent by keeping dishes of water on, the radiators and spraying the plant with a mist-like spray of water, The spraying helps to de- stroy insects, and, by keeping the foliage of the plants free from dust, encourages good growth. Light is another necessity, A window that has sunlight for sev. eral hours is required for most flowering plants, but ferns and other plants grown for their leaves will do 'well without sun, Fresh air is essential but draughts and sudden changes of tempera- ture must be avoided, Further information may be obtained from the Horticultural Division or from Notes on the Culture of House Plants issued by Publicity and Extension Division, Domin. ion Department of Agriculture; Ottawa. SIZE OF POTS USED If new clay pots are used for growing plants in the home, they should be soaked in water for a time and dried before using. Old pots should be thoroughly scrubbed inside and out. Before filling the pots with soil, a few broken crocks should be placed over the drainage hole. Pots not be larger than is necessary to hold the roots, It is better to start a plant in a small pot and then repot it into a. larger one when the roots have filled the small one, Britain Orders Canadian Eggs Surplus Here Will Be Re- lieved by Shipments Abroad The Dominion Department of Agriculture - has announced re- ceipt of an order for Canadian eggs from the British Ministry of Food.

LESSON 1 CHRIST PROMISES POWER Luke 24: 48, 49; Acts I. PRINTED TEXT, Acts 1; 1.12 GOLDEN TEXT.--But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth, Acts 1:8, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The Ascension of Christ occurred on Thursday, May 18th, A.D, 30, as far as we are able to ascertain, Pentecost occurred ten days later--May 28, Place.--The City of Jerusalem, and, for the most part, the upper room, wherever that may have been located, In this lesson we are forcefully reminded of the significance of our Lord's last days on earth, of the definite work which He gave His Church to do, and of the power which He promised to His Church for the doing of this great work, together with the ane nouncement of the angels con- cerning our Lord's return, Our Lord's Final Words The final appearance of our Lord and His Ascension are re- corded only by Mark and by Luke, though Luke's account is by far the fuller of the two, both in the Gospel of Luke and his great historical work, known now as the Acts of the Apostles. Acts. 1:1 "The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach. 2. Until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3. To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God." In the opening paragraph Luke gives, as treatise to follow: the subject of the book .of Acts is the same as that of the Gospel (former treat- ise) -- the words and deeds of Jesus; the Acts is the history of the fulfilment of the commission of Christ to the disciples to be witnesses to Him; and again, this commandment was given through the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit 4, "And, being assembled to- gether with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusa- lem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: 5. For John in- 'deed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy These words refer to the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the as- sembled believers on the Day of Pentecost, ten days after our Lord's Ascension, and we can truthfully say that the Holy Spirit has continued to abide upon the Church from that day until this. In great quietness, we should all set" our souls still, silent unto God, and give the Holy Spirit time to quicken and deepen in us the assurance that God ywill"- grant. Him to work might y. . "They therefore, when they woes come together, asked him, 'saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom of Is- "rael? 7. And he said unto them It is not for you to know times ov season, which the Father hath set within his own authority." This amazing question indicates an established faith in Him as the Messiah, but betrays, at the same time, an expectation that His kingdom would be to scme extent a temporal one--that it would free the nation from their de- pendence on the Romans and re- store to them their ancient pros- perity and power. 8. "But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you." The Apostles were not only promised the power bf the Holy Spirjt, they were giyen his power divine power, power to convict, .ppwer to illuminate, power for miracles, power when at work in . the hearts of men would actually, transform them, Today the Gos-' pel still lives!

The writer tells Canadians how their land was built by the "mad-souled dreamers," the trap-. pers and the voyageurs who ""dar-j ed the wilderness with song," and the pioneers who hewed out their homesteads from the depth of the forests, and how it was defended by "the gay, unheeding lads who made in war the ultimate offer- ing."
