It was to the house of his mother, Mary, that Peter came when he was released from prison, Acts 12: 12. This home was evidently a centre for the Christians in Jeruâ€" salem. Peter speaks of John Mark as his son (see 1 Pet. 4: 183), which means that the young man had come to know Jesus through the teaching of Peter. Besides being a companion and helper of Paul, he was later the comâ€" panion of Peter, and the Gospel of Mark was the outcome of this comâ€" panionship. 1.

There are those who think that not only did Christ‘s disâ€" ciples meet there after his ascension, but that it was in the upper room of this house that our Lord had the Last Supper, and gave the great teachings \that John has preserved for us. [ GNS" Fellowships. â€" Many of the great leaders of our churches, the outâ€" standing preachers, have begun their ministry as the colleagues of older men John Mark was peculiarly favored in the privilege of fellowships, for we know tgat he was the nephew of Barâ€" nabas, and his companion in. travel and work:; and was associated with Paul in his first missionary journey, and again later; and the tradition of the early Church concerning the origin of his Gospel connects him intiâ€" mately with Peter. _ _ A Sad Failure, and its Evil Conseâ€" quences.

During the spring months we are usually quite willing to give the berry patch its needed attention, as we are expecting to soon be repaid with a harvest of delicious fruit. After the harvest is over, however, we are apt to neglect the care of the berry patch. Perhaps we think it will get along without much care until the following spring but this is not the case, There are several things that need to be done during the late summer and fall months, if we would insure a full crop of fruit the next season. to bear well. _ Frequent cultivation with some rotted manure worked around the hills and between the rows is what they need now. _ Strawherries, raspberries and blackâ€" berries must all be kept clean in order Fall Care of the Berry Patch. If the strawberry bed is past itfi! second year, it is time to renew it if| it is to be allowed to bear again. Firsti cut off the top with the mowing ma~â€" chine. Set the knives so that it will! cut all the weeds and the top leaves of the strawberry plants. At a time} when the ground has plenty of moisâ€" tUre in it, but is dry on top, burn the top over quickly. Leave just enough of the old straw mulch on the berry patch to help carry the blaze quickly across the bed. After this is done, take a breaking plow and throw a furâ€" row from each side of the row into the centre. Leave the plants 6 to 81 inches wide in the rows, cutting out the weakest plants and leaving the others from 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. Level the plowed space with a 5â€"tooth cultivator. This work of renewing the strawherry bed should be done quite early in the season, genâ€" erally the earlier the better, as it gives the plants left a chance to get started before cold weather stops their growth. Probably you set out a new strawâ€" berry patch last spring. If so there may be some spaces where the plants have died. Select some of the best white rooted plants which were disâ€" carded in renewing the old strawberry patch and set them in these spaces. I do not advocats fall setting of the plants in general but it always seems a pity to throw them away. Not all of them will live probably but some of them will, and they will help fill out the new bed. After the harvest of raspberries and blackberries the old canes should be cut out and burned. If allowed to remain they harbor various injurious pests. Some of the raspberries and blackberries may also have too many new canes to do well. From 8 to 5 good raspberry canes should be left to each plant, and about 4 blackberry canes to the plant. Now is the time to dig out surplus suckers of the red raspberry. As soon as hard freezing weather comes the strawberries should be well mulched. This is more necessary in localities of variable climate than in localities where the snow remains on the ground throughout the winter. A thick blanket of snow takes the place of the mulch. Raspberries and blackâ€" berries, too, need mulching. An ordiâ€" nary mulch will protect the roots. In some localities where the winters are very severe, the supporting stakes are removed and the canes allowed to lie on the ground where they are covered with a mulch Certain varieties, of course, are more adaptable to droopâ€" ing over than others. If you find it necessary to mulch in this way be sure to set varietiee which are not erect in growth. Do not put Rinso direct from the package into the tub.

Busy all summer at their job of turning the oxygen of the air, the hydrogen of water and the carbon of carbonic acid gas into stem and flower and fruit, they must rest in winter. They sleep well, for not even Nature‘s alarm clock of the springtime can wake them until they have had enough. This is shown graphically in a reâ€" cent bulletin of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Cornell University on The Effect of Climatic Conditions on the Blooming and Ripening Dates of Fruit Trees, It is proved that though spring adâ€" vances at a fairly uniform average rate northwards, the time of the openâ€" ing of the fruit blossoms does not. Those south of North Carolina and Tennessee open at approximately the same time irrespective of their nearâ€" ness to the springtime and of the fact that they may have experienced many days of warm weather before all the snow has melted in the North. The â€"unsentimental | scientific ex« planation is, of course, not that the trees are really sleping, but that they are busy at important life processes which can only be carried on during their soâ€"called dormant period and which are impossible while the more visible processes of growth are being carried on. These less noticeable acâ€" tivities must ordinarily be completed before the tree will put out leaves or blossoms. It has been noted by close | observers in the Middle States, where | spells of springlike weather sometimes ‘i occur in midwinter, that trees are not |\ so quickly affected by them as they are by the same amount of heat in the springtime, the reason being that the | work of the winter season is not yet ended. North of the boundary below which the blooming season of fruit trees is influenced markedly by their need for winter rest, the time of average bloom advances at sea level at the rate of rbout 4.6 days for every degree of latitude, or sixtyâ€"nine miles. Expressâ€" ed another way, it amounts to about fifteen miles a day. It is not uniform, cither for the various kinds of fruit or for the different sections of the country, the rate being slowest along the Atlantic Coast and increasing regularly westward. The figures for the Atlantic Coast are 5.7 days to a degree; for the Mississippi Valley, 4.8 days; and for the Pacific Coast, 3A davs. Plants must have their sleep. Winâ€" EME Altitude above the sea has also an important effect upon the date of blosâ€" soming, the slowing up from that cause averaging one day for every 101 feet of added altitude. That means that on a mountainside or plateau at 2,500 feet elevation the trees bloom twentyâ€"five days later than they do at sea level in the same latitude. But the lines of simultancous bloom last, Canada exported to the United Kingdom _ 146,910,332 bushels â€" of wheat valued at $163,711,444, comâ€" pared with 91,125,687 bushels valued at $111,736,057, in the corresponding period of 1922.
