(Copyright. 1918. by Western Newspaper Unto's.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 18 SOME ACTIVItIES OF THE PRIMI- TIVE CHURCH. LESSON TEXT -Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-36; 6: 2-4. ()OL)EN TEXT -Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him and bless his name. -Psalms 100:4. DEVOTIONAL READING -Psalms 122: 1-9. ADDITIONAL. MATERIAL -Mark 11:16- 17: Avis 10:33: I Corinthians 3:9; 12:4-29; Ephestans'4:1-16. I. The Church Worshiping (Acts 2: 42-47). As the result of Peter's preaching at Pentecost about three thousand per- sons confeseed Christ in baptism. That their conversion was gennine is evi- tit.need by what they mild: 1. \Continued steadfastly in the epostIes' doctrine\ (v. 42). Continuance and steadfastness are in proofs of the genuineness of mete's conversion. They not only were steadfast, but they kept themselves in the school of Christ -clime regularly Ii) the meetings to be instructed by the npostics. Christians cannot grow un- less they feed upon God's word. Trashy novels and story papers will not make l'itristlans grow. The \sincere milk of the word\ is essential to growth (I Peter 2:2). 2. Kept themselves in the fellow- eltip of the apostles (v. 42). This doubtless means that they at- tached themselves to the church and tonight the friendship of Christian peo- ph.. Christian growth is helped by as - sedation with Christian people, not by withdrawal. One who expects sancti- fieation in seclusion will be doomed to disappointment. 3. They went regularly to the com- munion table (v. 42). • in the \breaking of bread\ they sym- bolically fed upon Christ. True wor- shipers will not neglect this means of grace. 4. They went regularly to the pray- er meeting (v. 42). Prayer Is the very breath of soul growth. It Is as necessary to spiritual life as breathing is to physical life. The result of such life was: (I) Wholesome fear (v. 43). (2) A powerful ministry (v. 43). Many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. (3) Mutual ministry (vv. 44- 45). Those who give themselves to cbrist are large -hearted and generous, giving of their substance to help the poor and needy. (4) A constant Wor- ship (v. 411). (5) Unity and gladness (v. 46). (3) Gracious influence among the people (v. 47). (7) A perpetual growth (v. 47). Where such genuine- ness is manifest there will be growth. The Lord added to the church daily - there wes a continuous revival. II. The Church Witnessing (Acts 4: 31-35), Note the characteristics of a wit- nessing church: 1. A praying church (v. 31). For every want and every need they betook themselves to God in prayer. 2. A spirit -filled church (v. 31). \Then they prayed the place was shaken wherein they were gathered to- gether. They were fill filled with the holy spirit. The spirit Is given In an- swer to prayer (Luke 11:13). 3. A testifying church (e. 31). The ministers had holdn4ss In testi- mony. 4. A united church (v. 32). They were of one heart and one soul. wilted In the one body to the one head by the holy spirit. 5. A charitable and generous church (v. 32). They held nothing back from those who hod need. O. Its membership possessed un- bletniehed characters; great grace was upon them all. III. The Church Overcoming Diffi- culties (Acts 0:1-4). Out of the beautiful fellewship of this early church grew n peculiar dif- ficulty. Among the Grecian Jews there came a feeling that partiality had been shown In the distribution of funds. The difficulty Was recognized at once r-nd properly dealt with. The apostles re- fused to allow this to divert their min - 1 Istry, so they proceeded with the ini- tial organization in the church, the ap- pointment of deacons. We have here set forth the qualifications of those who are to look after the business end of the church. 1. Good report (v. 3). It is highly important that even the business affairs of the church should he in the hands of honest men. The church cannot afford to appoint men of doubtful reputelion to do such work. 2. Full of the holy spirit (v. 3). The temporalities of the church Plifoild only be entrusted to spirit -filled men. 3. Full of wisdom (v. 3). The highest wisdom Is required In the handling of the business side of church life, and this should he done by men other than ministers. Ministers should give themselves to prayer and preaching. / Bible and Education. Men cannot be well educated with- out the Bible. It ought, therefore, to hold the chief !eve of learning throughout Christendom; and I do not know of a higher service that could he rendered to this republic than the , bringing about of this desirable result. NotL WOODLOT PROVIDES WINDBREAK AND SUPPLY OF FIREWOOD, FENCE POSTS AND LUMBER . , • ,•)' • •• Not Only Is a Well -Managed Farm Timber Stand a Source of Fuel, but It Shelters the Farmstead From the Prevailing Winter Winds. 'Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Trees and shrubs about the home and fitrinstend not telly increase the velum. of the property but make con- ditions pleasanter and more healthful. A limited amount of planting may be done. therefore, for comfort alone ir- respective of other return. Where a cobsIderable plantation 18 contem- plated, however, it is essential to know what material may be grown economically and the uses to which it may he put. On the overage farm in the plains region the first effort in planting Iii to gtrot-Isle a small grove plantation which will protect the buildings front severe winds and furnish shade for greater comfort of both man and ani- mals. Sometimes when such a wind- break has been established the owner tries to make It furnish a supply of material for use on the farm. This is a mistake, for if a belt of trees Is planted pritnarily as a protection against the wind the pruning and re- moval of much large material may lessen or even destroy Its protective value. Value of Plantation. The value of a plantation, other than a windbreak, on the farm Iles In its ability to furnish fuel, posts and a limited amount of lumber and repair material. NVithin a very few years after planting the plantation ell! need to be pruned and the prun- ing will furnish considerable fuel, de- pending upon the size of the plot, If good care IA given the trees they will develop rapidly and some thinning will have to be done to prevent harm- ful crowding. The material thus re- moved will contribute materially to the upkeep of the farm by furnishing posts and stakes. When the planta- tion is still older more valuable ma- terial may be harvested. Small tim- bers for building construction, poles for implements, also tool handles, neckyokes. evenere. whiffietrees and, In favorable situations, a limited amount of lumber is provided at home as needed. Throughout the plains region there Is a marked scarcity of timber which will produce even a fair grade of lum- ber and this fact should be taken into account when species are select- ed for planting. When a large planta- tion Is established care should be taken to put out tomb trees as will give the maximum amount of body material and to arrange them so as to derive the greatest benefit. Secure Best Results. In windbreak planting the best re- sults usually are secured Wh011 the shortest trees are placed on the side facing the wind, so that a sloping face Is presented and the air currents are dellectell upward. These short trees should have low -branching habits and dense foliage, in order that they may offer as much hindrance to the pas- sage of air currents close to the ground as is possible. The Russian olive is probably the best for this. Not Infrequently, when complaints are made of the reputed Ineffectiveness of windbreaks It develops upon exami- nation that the planter has either used unsuitable species and given them poor care or has failed to estab- lish belts of sufficient width. Species for Northern Region. The northern half of the plains re glon, which includes the eastern por- tion of Montana, Wyoming mid Colo- rado and the western portions of the Dakotas and Nebraska, is character- ized by lower temperatures, heavier precipitation and a shorter growing season than the southern half. The species recommended for it nret: Hack - berry, honey locust, white elm, cotton- wood, narrow -leaf cottonwood, white poplar, white willow, diamond willow, Russian olive, 'Buffalo berry, Siberian p p e ine. it tree, Jack pine, western yellow Species for Southern Region. All the species recommended for the northern portion of the plains re- gion may he planted in the southern portion, which includes southeastern Colorado, western Kansas a»d Okla- homa and northern Text's, and on ac- count of the more moderate tempera- tures It is possible to extend the list. The following additional species are recommended: Box elder, green ash, black locust, red cedar, Chinese arbor vitae.

CABBAGE WORM MOST DESTRUCTIVE ENEMY Spraying Is Effective Remedy in Combating This Pest, Community Action is Desirable Whet% ever Related Crops Are Grown Extensively -Leave Few Pois- oned Stalks for Traps. (From the United States Department of Agriculture) The common cabbage worm, the most destructive enemy of cabbage and re- lated crops In the United States, be- gins its depredations as soon as the young plants are set out In the spring and continues its work throughout the summer. Control measures, to be ef- fective, should begin as soon as the in- sect makes its tippearance. Although the insect caused the total destruction of cabbage, cauliflower. and other crops in large areas in the years Immediately after its first ap- pearance in this country in the sixties, control measures have now been per- fected to such a• degree and adopted to such an extent that losses need not be great. Spraying with a solu- tion of two pounds of powdered arsen- ate of lead, four pounds of arsenate It lead in the paste form, or one pound lf purls green to 50 gallons of water should lie begun as soon as the plants are set out and should be repeated as 3ften as examination of the plants Mows it to he necessary. The common cobbage '.'worm\ Is the Servo of ml white butterfly having black - tipped wings. The butterflies appear on warm spring (toys, and continue about gardens and fields until after several severe fall frosts, lit the Gulf region they are present throughout the season. Eggs are laid on , .ablinge and related plants where they hatch In from four to eight days. The caterpillar is velvety green, about the color of the cabbage foliage. It eats voraciously and grows rapidly. beconting full grown in from ten to fourteen days tater hatching. Three generations ocettr each season in tho northeast end probably eft In the ex- treme South. The first generation usu- ally eevelopft on wild plants. Hand picking may be practiced sue- cess/dlly in smell gardens. Where ;prays are employed they should be applied in a nne mist, since coarser ap- plications tend to gather in drops OD the leaves and run off. Community action in combating the - cabbage worm Is desirable wherever cabbage and related crops lire grown extensively. Agreements should be entered by the truckers of the eommu- nity for each to spray throughout tile season and to -carefully clean the fields of the bulk of the old stalks as soon at the crop is harvested. A few stalks should be left at regular intervals as traps on which the last generation of female butterflies will 'deposit eggs. Such stalks Should be poisoned freely with arsenicals so. that the worms of the last generation will not develop. 4441444 INCREASE SUPPLY OF CHICKENS AND EGGS (Prepared by the United States De- partment of Agriculture.) Every commercial breeder, eV- ery farmer, every back -yard poultry raiser, Is urged to keep these aims steadily in view: 1. Keep better poultry. Stand- ard -bred poultry Improves She quality and increases production. 2. Select healthy, vigorous breeders to produce strong chicks. 3. Hatch early to produce fall and winter layers. 4. Preserve eggs when cheap for home use. 5. Produce infertile eggs, ex- cept for hatching. 0. Cull the /locks to eliminate unprofltuble producers. • 7. Keep a email back -yard flock to Aupply the flintily table. 8. Grow as much poultry feed as possible. 9. Eat more poultry and eggs to conserve the meat supply. 0413-41 • 04.4 \ 4 \ 4 \ 44444 044 2 1-0-0 ' Preserve Eggs for Winter. It Is the duty of every farmer not only to preserve eggs for his own use, but to urge his friends living in town to preserve eggs for next fall and win- ter use.

This informution has been tabulated In classifications by trade to conform with the census fig- ures. Investigation Proves' Usefulness. The remelt of this investigntion when charted. showed some surprising facts. The first one Is that this survey proved that 90 per cent of automoblie use Is for 1/11sItleNS purposes.
