LESSON X PETER PREACHES TO GENTILES Act* 10:1-48 Golden Text. â€" ^Look unto me, and b* ye uved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there la none elae. Isa. 46 :22. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" ^A.D. 41. Place. â€" Caesarea, about seventy Biiles from Jerusalem. This wonderful chapter demands a whole book for its adequate in- terpretation. It presents more Taried and profound truths than and teacher can hope to bring be- fore a class in any half -hour peri- ed. Joppa was approximately thirty miles south of Caesarea. The mes- genger from the house of Corne- lius had travelled all of one day and one half of the next, arriving at Joppa at about the noon hour, just when Peter went up to the housetop to pray, tlie second of especially designated hours for prayer observed by niost Jews of that day. As God revealed his will for Cornelius through a vision, so God at this time likewise reveals his '.ill for Peter in a vision, or literally a "trance." Messengers Arrive The messengers from Cornelius arrived at Peter's house the second day after leaving Caesarea; they stayed there that night; the next morning they left for Caesarea, spent the night somewhere on the way, possibly at ApoUonia, and ar- rived at the iTouse of Cornelius the day after. Entering into the house, where he found quite a multitude of people gathered to- gether, Peter frankly told these Gentiles that everything he was doing seemed to be contrary to a Jew's conception of right, and yet he believed that God had clearly shown him that no man could be rightly called common or unclean, and for this reason, not without hesitation, he had come to Caesar- ea at the command of God and by the request of Cornelius. Kvcn yet Peter did not know for what rea- son he had been sent for. The vision did not tell him everything; the messengers did not fully in- form him; in fact, they did not know why Peter was sent for. This was for Cornelius to tell. 30. And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, 31. and saith, Cornelius, thy pray- er is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. ?2. Send therefore to Jop- pa, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side. 33a. Forthwith therefore I sent to thee ; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Ready for God's Orders 33b. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord. Cor- nelius is ready for orders fron the Lord. 34. And Peter opened his mouth, ano said. Of a truth I perceive that. God is no respecter of per- sons. God is interested in every m.'i); beca'Jse ho is a man. 35. But in every nation he that fdareth him, and workoth ri^jbr- eousness, is acceptable to hnn. Peter has been led to see that a man like Cornelius is acceptable in God's sight to hear the gospel. He is eligible to the kingdom. The fear of God and works of right- eousness have not taken the place «f Christ, but the place of Moses. If Peter had thought that none but Jews were acceptable candidates for the kingdom, he now sees that this company of Gentiles is also acceptable. Therefore he proceed.s to offer them the gospel and the forgiveness of sins in Christ. 36. The word which he sent un- to the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all). 37. That saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Gali- lee, after the baptism which John preached. Peter now begins to summarize, with extreme brevity, the fundamental points in the early life of our Lord. "We Are Wilnssse." 38. Even Jesus of -Nazareth, how God anointed him wilh the Holy Spirit and with power. (.Hark 1:10, 11; Matt. 3:1(5, 17). Who went about doing good, and heal- ing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 30. .And we are witnesses of all things which he dij both in the country of the Jews, and in Jeru- salem; whom also they slew, hang- ing him on a tree. 40. Him God laised up the third day, and gave him to be made m«- â- ifest, 41, not to all the people, BQt unto witnesses that were cho- sen before of (lOd, even to us. who ate and drank with him after ke rose from the dead. 42. And he charged us to preach V>tp the people, and tfi testify Canada's Black Spruce Supply Unsurpassed As Source of Wood Pulp â€" Grows And Thrives Under Unfavorable Condi- tions. Coatinuity of future supplies of black spruce :i the subje.t of Inves- ticatlona being conducted by the Dominion Forest Service of the De- partment «f Mines and Resou. . j at the Petawawa Forest Experimen- tal Station. Black spruce la unsur- ptssed as a source ot wood pulp and la In constant demand as a raw material for u?e in the production of sulphite pulp for newsprint, ray- on, and other materials. Black spruce bas the ability to grow and thrive on areas where, owing to excessive moisture and un- fsTorable soil conditions, other commercial tree species will not grow. It is foun. across Canada on the rast areas of swamps and mus- kegs that otherwise would be waste lands. Studies show that black spruce may reproduce either from seed or from basal branches which, when co.ered with moss, 'requently take root, sending u:> shoots that develop into trees. Because ot the imp rtance oC black spruce to the economic life of Canada, it is extremely necessary that studies be made ot its habits and of its growth with a view to the better understanding of the species in urder to utilize its bene- fits to the full e.\tent and to assure a permanent supply of the species. Falls Island Said Sagging Luna Island, joining the Ameri- can and Bridal Veil Falls, is in no danger of sinking out ot sight in- to the river, the authorities on the United States side branding as ''fantastic'' reports that the island God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. 43. To him bear all the pro- phets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins. Peter earnestly declares to this household that their sins could be forgiven only by believ- ing in the Lord Jesus Christ. 44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision that be- lieved were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 46. Fo they heard them speak with tongues. 4()b. And magnify God. Then answered Peter. This miraculous endowment of Cornelius and his friends with the Holy Ghost serv- ed three purj.i'ses: it certified the truth of Peter's words; it proved to Perer and to those who were w'ith hii^i ,ilie genuineness of the faith of the Gentile converts; as it was bestowed through no apostolic intervention, but directly and im- mediately by the Lord, it indicat- ed his will that they who had re- ceived It should be then and there admitted to the membership of the church. 47. Can any man forbid the wa- ter, that these should not be bap- tized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 48. And ha commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Canada's Second Woman Mayor Mrs. Florence M. Fraser, el- ected mayor of Stavely, Alber- ta, last week, by acclamation, is the first woman maj'or in Al- berta and the second woman in Canada to win such honor. Mrs. Barbara Hanley, mayor of Webbwood, in Northern On- taria, was the tirst woman to become chief magistrate in Canada. .Mrs. Frascr, widow of the late J. F. Frascr, former Cana- dian Bank of Commerce mana- ger there, was the tirst woman Councillor in Stavely, 70 miles South of Calgary. She was councillor for four years. had sagged between fifteen and twenty feet one day In February. From the Canadian side, how- ever, a sag in the Island is plainly visible. The opinion was expressed by Canadian residents that If the Island drops oft into the river the American Falls will be cztended to the Bridal Veil Falls. W. Robertson, manager of the Clifton Ciete House souvenir store on the Canadian side of the river, tald George James, a local camera- man, photographed the spot one irsek and took another ''shot" the next w«ek. A comparison of the prints showed an unmlstaklable dip In the fence around the front of the island, he said. Trail Hockeyists World Champions "Smoke Eaters" From British Columbia Clinch World Amateur Title at Basle, Sivitzerland. Canada renewed its lease on the world amateur hockey champion- ship in February, while Trail Smoke Eaters, the uncanny crew from British Columbia, relaxed at the •nd of a trail of triumphs.

Synchronize Fairs With Agriculture Rural Fair Boards In Ontario Are Not Taking AdranUfe Of Opportunity To Do Real Service To Conummiti-.j, Editor Declares. Varmert have been rery weak at times in sxpreBsing the rural vlsir* Joint through the medium of thebr sgrlcultural organisations and tail fairs, leaving it to outside groups and organizations, W. H. Fortsr, managing editor ot the Farmers' Advocate, told executives of Bigin county agricultural societies, when he addressed them on the subject of "Synchronizing the Fall Fairs." Reflect Character of District Mr. Porter submitted that fall fairs should be more than a place where people congregate once a year and chat or look at the same type and class of exhibits. A fall fair should reflect the character of the farming areas it serves and should have a real practical value to those attending. He told of what Denmark has been doing for years in the conduct of Its fall fairs and agricultural societies, The Danes build on record of performan e, the ability of breed and the marketing of Tables of exhibits. Mr. Porter suggested that Elgin agricultural societies in planning their fall fairs might give more attention to such matters. He did not advocate an adoption ot the Danish plan, stat- ing that he realized that was not practicable in Ontario at the pres- ent time, but Ontario farmers might work toward that objective. First Aid Training Needed In Business Competent men trained in first aid, and employees impressed with the need for immediate attention of the most trivial-seeming injur- ies was urged upon Ontario indus- try as "good business." RADIO NOTES AND NEWS By MADGE ARTHUR WHEN THE KING COMES Radio iiisiory will be made when lite King and Queen of England visit this continent in -May and June. For the first lime all North American networks will become as one giant network covering not only this continent but also the whole o£ the British Empire. The Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration will feed the National Broadcasting, Columbia and llutual systems wiin detail descriptions of all that happens in Canada. The American networks will reciprocate while their Majesties are over the border. CBC and NBC will hook-up by short wave with the BBC and other systems within the Empire, it will be unriuestionably the big- gest hook-up in the history of broad- casting. Historical moments to be broad- cast include the landing at Quebec oa May 15 of the first British mon- arch to set foot on this continent, his crossing ot the border at Niag- ara Falls on June 7 or 8. another Royal first, the first meeting of an English King and an American President on American soil, and the farewell which comes from Halifax on June 15. Bob Trout, ot the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem, is the first commentator to be assigned to â- - be Royal party. Trout invariably follows the U. S. President when he goes on tour. Representatives ot all networks Hill be at Quebec Bob Trout on May IJih. pi-obably know the name of the new Pope before it is announced from '.he balcony of St. Peter's in Rome. Bruno Walter, famous European conductor and friend of Toscanini, will take the latter's place as di- rector ot the NBC Symphony on Saturd.ay, March 11, at 10 p.m. Hans Steinberg, director of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, will be the conductor on Saturday, Mar. 4. Other guest conductors are to be announced in due course for the broadcasts which are heard over the NBC and CBC networks. Darryl Zanuek, President of 2flih Century For, is making a determ- ined move to take his stars off the air. It is understood that Zanuek will try to buy off the privilege of doing eight radio shows a year which Is written into Alice Faye's contract. It is also said that Zan- uek will try tD persuade Don Ameche to retire as master of cere- monies ot the Chase & Sanborn Hour. This would seem to be part ot a concentrated drive by the film industry against picture persouali- â- -ies broadcasting. It is believed due to protests of motion picture exhibitors who find radio a severe competitor.
