WEEKâ€"END GUESTS One thing that adds tnestimably to the homemaker‘s enjoyment of the role of hostess to house guests is to plan, before their arrival, the menus for the entire visit. Besides saving many a flustered minute, it is the most economical way to enterâ€" tain. Use up leftovers at luncheon whenever there are any and rely on an unusual dessert or hot biscuits or something special to make the meal festive. You‘ll find it a good idea, too, to have a drawer with writing pad, enâ€" velopes. postcards, labels, blotting paper, pen and ink (or fountain pen) pencil and rubber. These are often wanted in a hurry, and if you know exactly where to get them it saves a lot of time, and perhaps, temper. Some rubber bands (in various widths), paper clips, drawing pins, and a small supply of pen nibs are worth while keeping in stock, while an address book is essential if you have difficulty in remembering the ex ict number of the street in which friends live. sum of money due for that week, and not find yourself short when the collector calls. . Or it may be that you become il!, and if someone else is left in charge of household _ afâ€" fairs they will know what has to be paid out. Another business idea which is worth copying is to make a note for future reference of when any payâ€" monts become due, or the date when collectors‘ next visits are likely to be. One sometimes forgets when such a visit is likely, and you say to yourself. "Is it this week or next week the collector comes?" If you keep a note of such dates in a diary, you will know to allow the sum of money due for that week, and not find yourself short when the collector calls. . Or it may be that Unpaid bills can be put into a speâ€" cial box as soon as received, and paid off as soon as possible. Small bills should be dealt with, as soon as you get them, for it is these smali items which one is apt to forget, and whoen allowed to mount up the total may give you a shock one day when you have not the ready money _ to pay it. Those receipts which may be callâ€" ed on after a good number of years, such as for the annual payment of an insurance policy, showd be careâ€" fully kept in a separate envelope. labelled on the outside. Then you can get some rubber bands or paper fasteners, and it will be an casy matter to keep together all the gas accounts, reat receipts, and so on. Then if any question is ever raised about a receipts you will be able to put your hands on it quite readily. For instance, letters and accounts are always dealt with first thing when they are received. It may not be possible to send an answer right away, but the letter or account is put in its proper department, and is dealt with in due course. Even if you don‘t have a desk for your letters, you can set aside a special drawer for accounts, reâ€" ceipts and so on. Get one or two big envelopes and write on the outâ€" side what they contain, such as "Reâ€" ceipts".

The narraâ€" tive is now resumed from Acts 8:4. The church at Jerusalen was, no "Having a field." Although the Leâ€" vites were not allowed to hold posâ€" session in land, since God dimselt was their portion (Num. 18:20; Deut. 10:9), yet they could do so by pur. chase or inheritance (Jer. 32:7â€".12). "Sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles‘ feet." It would seem from 1 Cor. 9:6 that Barnabas by this great gift, was compelled, in later years, to earn his own living. The generosity of that deed is measâ€" ured not by what he gave, but by what he left. in the New Testament. They occuâ€" pied a very subordinate position in New Testament Judaism, and,. when engaged at all in the service of the great sanctuary, were chiefly emipoy. ed as temple police. "A man of Cyâ€" prus by race." Cyprus was an imporâ€" tant island situated in the northeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea in an angle formed by the coasts of Cilicia and Syria, with an area of about 5,384 square miles. ‘ "And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhorta. tion)." Barnabas comes from two words, Bar, meaning son, and nabas, possibly connected with the Hebrew word nebi, meaning prophet, a name which may have been given to him because of his preâ€"eminent gifts ot speaking. "A Levite." Barnabas is the only Levite mentioned by name RLACE. â€" Barnabas first appears in the city of Jerusatem, where, no doubt, his greatest ministry was carâ€" ried on. He was called by the Holy Spirit to accompany th .postle Paul to the,city of Antioch. _. THE LESSON IN ITs SETTiING TIME. â€" The first appearance of Barnabas is during the same year as the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, A.D. 31. The conversion of the Apo:tle Paul took place in A.D. 33. The missionary journey in which Barnabas accompanied Saul took place, according to Ramsay, in 50 A.D., whereas others date it A.D. 45 and 46 The council at Jerusatem took place during the fo‘lowing year.

UND A Y â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" CHOOl _ Esson "And the report concerning thom came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem." The church at Jerusalem was still the mother church and all that took place in Jerusalem was still the mother church and all that took place in re. lation to the preaching of the gospel at that time was certainly reported to the pillars of the church in Jeruâ€" salem, and apparently was investi gated, envoys being sent from the Jerusalem Church to survey and make reports concerning happenings in other cities. "And they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch." The choice of commissioner was a wise one. That his Introduction bad been regarded as sufficient voucher for Saul‘s discipleship shows that he "And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord." So it was not a mistake. In acting thus without official sanction, they had not gone beyond the mind of their Master. The evident blessing on their work justified them. "But there were some of tiem. men of Cyprus and Cyrene". Cyrone was a city of Libya in north Africa west of Egypt (see 2:10; 13:1). "Who, when they were come to Anâ€" tioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus." There is great diference of opinion as to what is meant by this word Greeks. Some believe that it refers to Jews of the dispersion, born and brought up outâ€" side of Palestine, but Jews in birth, religion, and training. But the best manuscripts of the context itself would lead us to believe that lhese‘ Greeks woere a part of that numerâ€" ous class who had abandoned the worship of pagan gods and were seeking food for their religious hunâ€" ger in the services of the synagogues. if its ardor for the preaching of the gospel, w‘ien the persecution here referred the early disciples in each direction, resulting in a marvelious revivifying _ of the entire early Church.

Thus _ Barâ€" nabas sent from Jerusalem, brought spiritual wealth to Antioch; Anti. och sends back relief for material needs to their brethren in the Moly City,. f "And the disciples, every man ac. cording to his ability." See 1 Cor. 16:2. "Determined to send relief un to the brethren that dwelt in Juâ€" daea." The suggestion may dave come from Barnabas, who had been foremost at an earlier period (4:37) in relieving the necessity of the poor brethren, and who is so often brought before us as performimg some act of sympathy and tenderness. "And there stood up Ole of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pa:s in the days of Claudiâ€" us." Suetonius alludes to assiduoe sterilitates causing famineâ€"prices un. der Claudius, while Dion Cassius and Tacitus speak of only two famines in Rome, and famine in Rome implied dearth in the great corn â€" growing countries of the Mediterranean; Eu. sebius mentions famine in Greece, and an inscription perhaps refers to {amine in Asia Minor. Thus wideâ€" spread dearth over. the Roman world Is fully attested independently; be. yond the Roman world our evidence does not extend. "Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch." _ Wahilst foreknowledge ot events is not of necessity implied by the word prophet, either in the Old Testament or the New Testament, the case of Agabus, both here and in 21:10, 11, shows that predictiveness was by no means excluded. Then Chrstan prophets, moreover, as we see them in Acts, combine the duty of ministering to the Lord with that of preaching the word; they are not foretellers, but forthtellers of God‘s will. now, perhaps, left the home of his childhood for the last time, and en tered on his life‘s work, introduced to it by the same friend who had be. fore introduced him to the disciples at Jerusalem. "And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people." This is the first time that the word church is used in Acts for a local company outside of Jerusalem. _ This is also probably the first time that Paul found a quiet church in which to work, giving him unlimited scope for his great abilities. "And that the disciples were call. ed Christians first in Antioch." The word Christian has, for its founda. tion, the Greek word Christos, which is a translation of the Mebrew word Messiah, meaning anointed one. The termination of the word. janus is 1a_ 10 2090°0°0, meaning anointed one. The termination of the word, ianus, is Laâ€" tin. Thus the word is Greek, the idea is Hebrew, and the particu‘ar form of the word is Latin. y "Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad." A smaller man would have probably raised difficulties regarding circumâ€" cision or baptism, but Barnabas de. termined not to be more particular than the Holy Spirit. These Greeks might be Gentiles by birth, but they were undoubtedly â€" saints by new birth. _ "And he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord." Their deter mination was at present formed and they had turned to the Lord; the purport of Barnabas‘s exhortion was that continuing in the same deter. mination they should ho‘d fast their "For he was a good man." The naâ€" tural, but not certain, inference from faith and allow nothing to check their attachment to Christ. was now sent alone (contrast with 8:14) on a mission of such responâ€" sibility Church at Jerusalem: and this is fur. ther indicated by the fact that h« was high in the the messenger who delivered it _ .

Potato Field Day *«! â€" Highly Successful "The Old Tippling Philosopher" is the name of a small roadside inn near Caldicot Castle Monmouthshire. In the afternoon, after an address of welcome on behalf of the Farm from the Dominion Cerealist, L. H. Newman, P. O. Ripley, of the Field Husbandry Division, led a personal tour of the potato plots, when field demonstrations were carried out. MEET EXPERTS The field day gave all those inâ€" terested in potato growing in the eastern counties of Ontario and the adjacent districts in Quebec an opportunity to meet and discuss their potato production and marketâ€" ing problems with the expert memâ€" bers of the Farm staff of the Botany, Horticulture and Field HMusbandry Divisions, and _ also with other specialists from the Dominion Fruit and Entomological branches. Interesting information bearâ€" ing on all phases of the potato was conveyed in the shape of short lectures, followed by genâ€" eral questions and _ answers. Incidentally, in a lull after a lecture. on fertilizers, a voice was heard to ask, "Did you use fertilizers with your _ strawâ€" berries this year?" "No," came the reply, evidently from a farmer‘s wife with a _ sweet voice. "We just used sugar and _ _cream like the other folks." _ Insect pests of the potate and their control was dealt with by A.
