In this connection it should be noted that the Dept. of Agriculture " Ottawa has published a convenient pocket edition of the Seeds Act, 1923, which farmers and soil eutivators generally would Jo well to possess themselves of, and which can be had free of all cost by merely dropping an unstamped postal card to the Publications Branch at the Nation's capital. 000 tones and from imports of 15,000 bushels to an export of 60,000 bushels. In Eastern Canada‘ summer-fallow is less often employed than it used to be. but according to a bulletin of i the Dept. of Agriculture on Crop Rotations and Soil Management for Eastern Canada it is a very useful method of eradicating weeds, espe- cially where the land is badly infest- ed and where time and labor will not permit the necessary cultivation to handle the" weeds in the regular rota.- tion. Where the method is to be used the land, if it has not been plowed in the fall should be plowed as early as possible in the spring. It is important to eultivato very frequent- ly and thoroughly in order to prevent the weeds from getting a start. The use of a cultivator uhich will tear up the roots to the surface where they will be killed by the sun is very necessary. It is usually wise to plow the land twice during the season in order to kill the weeds with under- ground roots stocks and to bring the weed seeds from the lower depths to the surface where they germinate and are killed. l have found that if the top ends of fence posts are sharpened they will not rot so fast.--A.

THE GREAT COMMISION GIVEN BY Jesus, Matt. 28: 16-20. II. now THE SPIRIT OF can OPENED UP THE WAY FOR ITS FULFiLMeN'r, Acts 16:6-10. INTRODUCTION-The gradual en- trance of the Christian church upon its world-wide mission was made in obedience to convictions inspired by the risen Lord, who revealed to his followers that he was enthroned over all nations, and not only over the Jews. I. THE GREAT COMMISSION GIVEN TO nu: CHURCH BY JESUS, Matt. 28: 16-20. Va. 16, 17. Jesus, as God's Mos-l siah, is Lord of all. Yet it was only through the conviction of his resur- rection from the dead that the faith of his disciples became of sufficient force to send them out everywhere; preaching salvation in his name. His death had crushed their hopes and scattered them. But now the vision m Jesus as risen and at God's right hand restores their faith and creates a tidal wave in their hearts which soon washes to earth's farthest bounds. We read that the vision of the risen one brought them to their knees in adoration, "though some doubted." The meaning of the hurt, clause can only be that to some the' iresurrection seemed too stupendous a ifsct to be easily believed. But while these might question the reality of what they saw. no doubts attached to the moral character of the truth which the resurrection proclaimed to all the loyal followers of Jesus. It was, in a word, that "all power in heaven and on earth" now belonged to _.]esus as the heavenly Jreyslah. V. 19. Therefore the disciples are to take the whole world as their sphere of testimony. They are to make disciples not only of Jews, but of all nationalities. They are to trap. tize all who accept Jesus as Saviour, and the name they are to utter over every one so baptized is the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. God as Father, Chrilt as Son, the Holy Spirit as the power of the new life, belong not to the Jews only., but to all mankind. _ V. 20. The nations are to be taughti the commandments of Jesus. Jesus is universal Lord, and his words are to be the source and rule of life. All: human life is to be brought into; subjection to Christ, and meantime he, though unseen, will be with his, disciples "until the consummation of i the one," that is. until the presept' world ends and the new heavenly. world begins. , COLORFUL COSTUMES AT CA.RNWAL Alexander Zmamensky, formerly a member of the Imperial Russian Opera, dressed in rich native Russian Boyar costume and accompanied by two other [air masqueraders enlivened proceedings at the great Fete do Nuit which is featured every year in Quebo City and was this year one of the out- standing items in the program ot the 'Winter Sports Season which has had a very successful ton weeks run at the Ancient Capital. Sunday School Lesson II. now THE spun-r or con OPENED or THE WAY, Acts 16:6-10. V. 6. A passage from the mission- ary history of Paul now illustrates the part which. under God, events played in the opening up of the way to the fulfilment of Christ's com- mand. Paul is on his second mission- ary tour. He has visited the South Galatian cities of Lystra, Derbe, Iconium and Antioch, and now he is on his way northwards. The Holy Spirit, we read, forbids him at this point to turn westwards into the Pm- vince of Asia. Doubtless the way was closed against him in that pro- |Vince. Prophetic voices. in his own or other hearts were clear that the time of entering Asia was not yet. i V. 7. The ,ame_kipd of experienge irepeated itself a little farther north. Paul would have liked to turn north- eastwards into Bithynia, but strain the guidance of the Spirit opposed itself to the_pr9ject. . _ . . :made. This can be made 16 inches _'wide, and 30 inches long, with 4x6- inch runners, and a clevis mounting lin front. This gives room enough ‘for the plow and a man to stand be- lhind. The runners can be faced with tstrap iron. v. 8. So Paul goes straight ahead, and at Trans on the Hellespont--the modern Dardane11es---he has a won- derful vision in a dream by night. This vision is the explnaation of the mysterious veto pronounced on his gravious turning either to the right and or to the left. V. 9. The vision is of a Macedonian standing, perhaps, on the opposite side of the straits, and saying with outstretched arms: "Cross over to Macedonia, and he]: us." V. 10. Paul coul not dismiss this vision as a mere dregm. _He was; per- g Tested cows usuilly receive better rare. Keen Scent.
