LESSON FOR JANUARY 16
PETER'S SERMON AT PENTECOST.
I.KSSON TKXT-ActH 2:14-47.
QOI.DKN TEXT Whosoever shall vnl
on tin- numo of tho Lord Htiu.ll be muvuiI.
Acts 2:2L
Compnrlng vorso ono (It. V.) with
tho last clauso of verso 1G, wo con
cludo that this was ono early morning
prayor meeting which drew a crowd.
In this crowd (vv. 9, 10) and on this
occasion wo sco In mlniaturo the
evangelism of tho world. What Pctor
hoped to accomplish is an Interesting
speculation and Is answered by his
munn.' and modu of testimony. Ills
famous "sermon" consists of 12 vorses,
und tho balance in quotations from
Joel, Psalms, etc.
I. The Empowered Witness, vv. 14
36. (1) Peter tcstlllod that Jesus is
alive, (a) These men, speaking by
tho power of tho Spirit, aro not drunk
en, but urn spunktag In soberness ol
a groat fact, (b) This that they hear
"Is that" prophecied by Jool (2:28,
i'J). This Jobus of whom thoy havo
been speaking had fullllled this proph
ecy by mighty deeds (v. 22), by hav
ing risen from tho dead (v. 23) and
of this tho disciples were all witnesses
(v. 32); ho had also been "exalted"
(v. 33), and his glory I'oter had wit
nessed upon tho mount (II Peter 1:
lli-18). (2) Peter asserts that whoso
ever believes in Jesus as Lord and
Christ, tho Anointed One, tho Messiah,
shall bo Bavcd (vv. 21, 3C). (a) Ho
shall bo saved from sin and misery in
tills world; (b) saved unto a life eter
nal; (c) ho shall rccelvo this same
power tho disciples had received. Pc
ter'B witnessing Is tho samo as Jesus
has a right to expect of us, tho testi
mony of personal experience, backed
up by tho word of God. Jesus was In
dorsed by hlB miracles, tho testimony
of thoso who had Been him as the
risen Lord nnu by his fulfillment ot
Messianic prophecy.
Ho was also oxaltcd in tho testi
mony given In all tongues by tho cm
lowering spirit.
II. The Powerful Result, vv. 37-42.
Tho truth of Peter's words was car
ried homo by the Holy Spirit produc
ing deep conviction of sin. (1) Con
version. Tho question of verso 37
was a result They had seen the
placo of Jesus In tho plan ot prophecy
ot Cod. They saw tho boldness ot
theso disciples and thoy also saw
their sin. (2) Confession. Potcr'Bnn
?wcr to their question was plain and
simple, (a) "Repent," I. o., change
their minds and their attitudo towards
Jesus, from that which had caused
his crucifixion, to onecf absolute aur
render, ot repentance and renunciation
Jt sin; tho surrender of tho will to
lesus as Lord. (2) "Ue baptized.
Outward water baptism la Involved
but It Is tho symbol of tho Inward
change of ncart, of the renunciation
iV sin, death to sell (Kom. G':l) and
tho putting on ot Cnrlst Klal. 3:20, 2i).
l3) Continuance (v. 42). Having ac
cepted and confessed Christ, they were
to teach others, to havo fellowship
with believers in prayer and in break
mg of bread, to continue "in the way.
III. Added Evidence of Power, vv.
13-47. This passage Is not a brief foi
communism. It Is Interesting to noto
mat this communism waa among l.o
Hovers (v. II). It was for a special
occasion, tor they hud "lamed at Je
rusalem" many days, and luyuiiu
doubt Had not provided for a long
"Islt. It was according as each "had
need." It was purely voluntary lb:
l, 9). The Holy Spirit, however, does
bring unity and altruism among bo
liovers which oxpi esses itself in social
relations and servlco. Thcro Is a
-tCferenco between tho gift ot tho Holy
Spirit nnd tho Holy Spirit's gifts (1
or. 12). Tho baptism of tho Holy
sjplrlt or "tho gift ot tho Holy aho3t"
is always dependent upon real ro
pentanco and Is accompanied by re
mlSbion ot sins. This experience is
the blood-bought right of every bo
ilevcr In tho Lord Jcsiw Christ. To
' rccoivo" is to tno or to claim, and
by simple prayer and faith that to
which wo havo a right (Acts -JUi; a:
15. 10: Luko 11:13; 1 John 5:14, ID).
lly making Jesus Lord anil Christ we
shall receive tho promise (v. 39) which
Peter declared, was for Jowish be
lievers, tholr children for coming gen
erations, and "all that aro afar oil
oven as many as tho Lord our Cod
shall call," 1. o., gentiles of ovury
coming century.
In other woids, Pentecost was but
an cplH'jdo which ushored in an ago,
the ago of tho Holy Spirit, and ho
Is for every child of Cod, Jewish and
gcntllo, in overy ago and in every
church.
During that apostolic age every new
manifestation of tho spirit through Its
accompanying addition to tho num
bor of believers "Tho l)rd added day
by day thoso that woro saved . . .
many bollovors; bcllovers woro the
moro nddod . . . multitudes ot
both men nnd women , . . ihe
word ot (lod increased; a great com
pany ot tho priests woro obedient to
tno faith."
Peter'B sermon honors tho Scripture,
Christ anrt tho Holy Spirit. Tho Bplrll
can and does use tho living word
in preparing men tor tho kingdom ol
Uod.
COST OF HARVESTING
An Ice Plow With
(Prepared by tho United Stntea Deport
ment of Agriculture)
Under certain conditions natural lco
may bo cut by tho farmer at a prlco
as low au one cent for n cake of 220
pounds, making tho lco cost, oxclusivo
ot hauling and packing, 9 ccntB a ton.
Tho usual price, however, It has boon
found by tho dairy division of tho
United Stntea department of agricul
ture averages about 2 cuntB n cake,
or 18 cents a ton. In somo Instances
tho original cost of the lco and tho
packing amount to $2 n ton, but In
thoso cases tho storage houses woro
at long distances from tho pond.
One cubic foot ot solid lco wolghs
about 57 pounds. Considering this
weight as tho standard and allowing
tor packing, ono ton ot lco will occupy
approximately 10 cubic feet. Tho fol
lowing tablo shows the number of
cakes of various thicknesses required
per ton of lco (size of cako, 22 by 22
Inches).

In compiling tho foregoing tablo
iquaro cakes 22 by 22 inches woro
used merely because tho investigators
found that the majority of farmers
wero storing cakes ot that sizo.
Farmers who havo a comparatively
small quantity of lco to harvost will
Qud that thoy need for equipment only
two saws, two lco tongs, two lco
hooks, nnd a pointed bar. Many farm
ers havo found It very profitable to co

stances each Individual may uso his
Dwn tools, or tho compluto outfit may
belong to a co-operative association.
In marking tho ico, a long plank
may bo used as a straightedge, or It
may bo used to guide tho handsaw.
Tho advisability of cutting squaro or
oblong cakes must bo decided by tho
harvester.
After tho ico cakes aro broken apart,
two men with ico tongs can pull with
littlo difficulty a cako of lco from tho
wator und load it on a wagon or sled.
If desired, a slide and a tablo platform
may bo imod and a horso employed
for drawing tho cakes from tho water
on to tho platform, from which thoy
may be easily loadod.
lioforo building an icehouso ot any
kind, tho quantity of lco to bo stored
should bo determined. Tho quantity
needed for cooling purposos necessar
ily will vary according to tho local
conditions and cannot bo definitely
stated In all cases, though It may bo
calculated approximately. After study
ing tho conditions on a largo number
of farms and obtaining figures regard

vidual cases from 21 pounds to 330
pounds a day.

ply ot lco in tho tank.
(5) A total of 5,142 pounds of
cream requlrod approximately 0,020
pounds ot lco daily, or an averago of
1.10 pounds of lc per pound of cream
to cool and hold until delivered.
Theso figures wero obtained from
actual conditions and covered a period
of six weeks, in which tho tempera
ture outdoors varied from 50 to 100
dogrees F.
Owing to tho different condition un
der which lco is handled, tho location
of the buildings In reference to protec
lion and thu quantity of ice packed, It
Is not surprising to noto a largo varia
tion in shrinkage. In an nxamlnatlon
of more than 100 runners' IcehousoH
tho shrinkage was found to vary from
20 to 50 per cent, with an averago of
27 per cent.
HOGS RUNNING IN ORCHARD
Unless Animals Are Well Ringed They
Will Do Much Damage by Expos
ing Roots of Trees.
Much Is said and written nowadays
concerning tho disease and Insect
pests affecting the orchard. While
many orchards aro quite rapidly ap
proaching extinction for one causo or
another, thoro Is ono cnuso that Is
soldom mentioned, an It appears to bo
generally overlooked. That Is tho con
tinual pasturing of tho orchards by
hogs.
Formerly It was tho practlco of pro
fessional fruit growers to allow thfolr
Bwlno frco ami untrnmmcled ran go in
tho orchnrd. In fact, some raised hogs
for this purpose, rather than nny pos
siblo profit to bo derived from pork
production, believing that tho rooting
and tearing that tho hogs aro capable
of doing would bo beneficial in thu
way of cultivating nnd mulching tho
trees, and destroying injurious Insoctn.
However, most of them havo discov
ered that although tho tiogs destroy
many harmful Insects, tho good done
In this way, unless tho hogs aro well
ringed, Is many times overbalanced
by tho damago dono to tho trees In
tearing up and exposing tho roots to
tho weather. Tho littlo rootlets aro
very palatablo and nutritious and as
good as a grain ration. Thoy mako a
splendid chango of diet for tho hog,
but aro rather expensive feed.
Tho tlmo has como when sclonco
has dovolopcd to such au extent that
tho hog Is no longer needed in orchard
management. In this day tho postod
fruit grower can ovorcomo or at least
largely prevent tho ravages of orchard
posts and flics. Tho tlmo has long ar
rived when thcro Is no monoy In try
ing to grow fruit without giving par
ticular attention to theso features. All
fruit growers, whether specialists or
general farmers, should post them
selves nnd keep nbreast of tho proces
sion. They will loso monoy by gottlng
behind.
SALT A VALUABLE SEASONING
Stimulates Appetite of Hogs and Ap
pears to Improve Taste Animals
Relish Charred Cobs.
It has been determined that Ealt Is
a vnluablo seasoning for tho feed of
hogs, though only a limited amount is
required. It nets as a stimulator of
tho appctito and appears to improve
tho tasto of tho animal, just tho samo
as it does a human being. It uids In
digestion and In general Increases the
energy of tho vital process and Is
greatly rellshod.
When charred cobs aro fed to pigs
they apprcciato them much moro
when then are sprinkled with salt. It
you feed n slop ration It should havo
a littlo seasoning ot salt In It. Tho
offocta ot a mild seasoning of salt In
tho food aro bcuollclal as a tonic and
gonoral aid to good condition. How
ovor, bo caroful not to overdo it.
ROTATION IN SEVERE CASES
(toll-Producing Crop of Smutted Wheat
This Year May Harbor Spores
for Next Season.
Recent experiments havo shown
that In certain sections of tho country
tho soil of a Hold producing a crop
of smutted wheat this year may har
bor enough smut spores to causo tho
appearance of smut In noxt year's
crop If tho field bo rosceded to wheat.
This sometimes occurs, where smut
Is very bud, In splto ot tho planting of
treated seed, and shows that In ouch
localities crop rotation should bo prac
ticed in addition to seed treatment.
Hunt or covered smut ot wheat at
tacks no other cereal crop, but other
cereals havo their own smut dlscasos.

Indorsement of tho ehort ballot, a

which Congressman Stephens coun

an Investigator at tho stato hoii3o to
look up somo facts on tho make-up ot

It was found that In tho 1915 legis

twenty-nine members of tho houso who
saw servlco In tho previous bcsslon.
And there were four membors who had
been In sessions several years beforo.
In tho 1913 legislature wero elevon

And thrro mombers had sorved In ses

In tho 1911 legislature wero ten sen
ators and thirty members of she houso
who had been In tho 1909 legislature
and two who hnd been In scsnloua be

WESTERN CANADA'S
GREAT HARVEST
Decidedly Encouraging From Ev
ery Standpoint.
Speaking of conditions tcnerally la
Canada, tho most encouraging feature
of thu yenr, from a trndo and financial
standpoint, has been tho bountiful
harvest of tho Northwest, whore a
greatly Increased area under cultiva
tion hns given tho highest averago
yield In tho history of tho country. It
Is estimated that tho grain crop ot
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
has a market valuo to tho producers of
approximately four hundred million
dollars, in tho uso ot which wo may
anticipate not only tho liquidation of
much indebtedness, but thu stimula
tion of current trndo.
Tho annual reports of tho various
banks throughout t'nundu aro now bo
lug published. They savor of opti
mism all tho way tlrough, and, con
trary to what might bu generally ex
pected In war times, business is good
everywhere.
Thu (lenurnl Manager of tho Hank of
Montreal at the recent annual moot
ing said; "Thu position of Canada Is
a highly favored one, with an assured
future of growth, development and
general prosperity."
In tho samo report It Is said that the
Canadian West "ban recovered to a
marked extent from tho economic dis
location of a year ago."
Thu season's wheat nnd other cereal
crops have exceeded all previous roc-l
ords In quantity nnd quality, and, do-
splto tho enormous yield, prices have
been uncommonly well maintained.
It would bo dllllcult to exaggerate
tho Importance of theso results to tho
Prulrlo Provinces und tho Dominion
at Inrge.
Tho prosperity of thoso engaged la
mixed farming and ranching Is most
uncournglng.
Thu Hour mills In Manitoba, Sas
katchewan nnd Alberta are bUBy and
are doing well. Their combined dally
capacity Is ubout $7,000 barrels.
Tho large advances of thu Dominion
(jovorumcut to farmers In certain dis
tricts, principally In tho form ot aoo4,
wero mndo vory opportuntl and have
been amply Justified' by tho vory largo
crop yield In thoso districts.
Uuslnuss In many Important linos is
good nnd should continue to Improve
as returns from grain yot to bo mar
keted aro received.
Tho general business outlook baa
been transformed by tho large crop.
Tho returns of tho gross earnings ot
Canudlan railroads for Novcrabor show
thoso of tho Canadian Pacific In
creased $1,790,000 or 78 por cent for
tho last nlno days of tho month. Com
pared with samo month yoar ago, fn
creaso no less than $5,291,000 or I7.S
por cent against a 45 por cent gain la
October, und a decrease of 4 Hi for
cont In September.
II. V. Meredith, ot the Uank of Mont
real, In a recent address dollverod at
Montreal, doclurod that tho most en
couraging fcaturo from a trado and
llnnnco standpoint had been tho boun
tiful harvest ot tho Northwest, whore
tho greatly Increased area undor culti
vation had given tho highest average
In history of tho country. He esti
mated tho grain crop of tho three
provinces at a valuo of ovor $400,000,
000, und said that such remarkable re
sults would havo tho effect of attract
ing tho tldo of Immigration to our
shores, when tho world is again at
pcaco. Tho restoration of a favorable
balanco In our foreign trado Is a fac
tor of supromo importanco at the pres
ent time.
It Is tho gonoral opinion In tho East
that tho 1915 grain crop In tho Prai
rie Provinces not only put tho whole
Dominion In a sounder trado and finan
cial standing, but that it will also re
sult in a big Increaso In Immlgratloa
to tho West ot agricultural settlers,
