Comment and Suggestive Thought.
Vs. 27, 28. "A man of Ethiopia.” A
general term for the lands south cf
Egypt. But from the name of Queen
Candace It was probably Meroe, a
country which lay on the right hank of
the Nile from Its Junction with the
Atbara, as far as Khartoum, and
thence to the east of the blue Nile to
the Abyssinian mountains. "Of great
authority.” A man of power, of wide
influence, a prince.
V. 28. "Was returning.” Guided by
Providence at exactly the right time.
'Read” (was reading). "Esalas.”
Greek form of Isaiah. He was reading
aloud us was the custom, so that
Philip was able to hear it It was a
pleasant and profitable cusioni on long
journeys.
Reading Aloud. “The great Jewish
teachers insisted, in many Instances,
upon their scholars reading aloud.”
1 speak to the experience, probably,
of many, when I say that utterance
aloud is often a very powerful aid to
mental retent iveaiss,” says Joseph
Parker. It is more than this, reading
aloud helps us to understand the
meaning of the Word. For in order to
read well we must understand every
shade of the moaning, or we will mis-
interpret God's Word. A monotonous,
sing-song, woodeny, or artificial read-
ing, such as we often hear, comes
very near to being a crime, for it de-
prives the Word of its natural mean-
ing, and makes the hearers inatten-
tive, or repels them from the Word..
Those who wish to know the truth
take great pains and spare no ex-
pense to obtain It.
Young people often say that it. is
hard to become Interested in reading
the Scriptures. But if anyone reads
them In order to find out what to do,
and what to believe, he will, of neces-
sity, find a deep Interest in the study,
as one finds a map interesting when
he is planning a journey, or a chart
when he is crossing the ocean.
God is no respecter of persons.
Twice Africans are brought to our no-
tice—here, and when Simon the Cy-
renian helped Jesus to bear his cross.
“As for the nationality of the Ethi-
opian,” says Farrar, "it must be borne
in mind that even Moses himself had
:>noe married an Ethiopian wife."
We can meet God and learn his will
in the desert places of life, as Moses
saw the burning bush, and Elijah
heard the voice of God in the lonely
places of Horeb, and Paul spent three
years in the deserts of Arabia.
It is good to use every spare oppor-
tunity in studying and meditating on
the Word of God. What we do with
our spare moments often determines
our characters even more than our
daily labors do.
The books we choose and are fa-
miliar with, like our chosen friends,
mold our characters and guide our
destiny.
_ V. 29. "Then the Spirit said.” The
Spirit speaks not only to our feelings,
but to our judgment and conscience.
Whoever is perfectly willing to obey
the voice of the Spirit will be guided
aright. Prejudices, unwillingness to
obey, past training or failure of train-
ing, in so far as we allow them to ex-
ert an influence, will lead us astray;
as iron near the compass on a ship
wii! deflect the guiding magnetic
needle. "Join thyself to this chariot.”
An excellent iiluslration is found in
Pilgrim's Progress,” where Christian
is wandering around in doubt, and
meeting Evangelist is directed to the
right way.
V. 35. “Then Philip . , , began
at the same Scripture.” Which was
fulfilled in Jesus, and has been ful-
filled in no other. “And preached,”
announced the glad tidings of Jesus.
Philip showed the strange and mar-
velous correspondence between the
many descriptions of the Messiah in
the prophets and the then well-known
life of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Progress of a Soul Into the
Kingdom. Compare with Bunyan’s
Pilgrim’s Progress as far as the Pal-
ace Beautiful, wdience lie was sent
forth clothed in Christian armor.
1. He was deeply in earnest, and
went on a long, dangerous, and costly
journey to find the true religion.
2. He did this against many influ-
ences that held him back,
3. He went to the religious people
and meetings where he thought he
:ould learn about the true God and his
service.
4. He read the Bible carefully to
learn the way. /
5. He was not discouraged because he
did not find the light.
6. He accepted the help of one who
knew the truth from experience.
7. Ag soon as he saw that Jesus was
the true Saviour, he accepted him.
8. As soon as he felt he was a
true disciple he desired to confess
Christ by baptism, in the presence of
his whole retinue. Confession strength-
ens the character and confirms the
choice. Like Cortez, on landing on
the Mexican shores, It burns the ships
behind him. No better, no simpler, no
more beautiful or expressive way of
confessing Christ has ever been found,
or even imagined, than that of bap-
tlsm.
' Mr. George E. Hunter is a Maid-
stone, Saskatchewan (Central Can-
ada), farmer, who writes to a Cana- I
tiian Government Agent as follows:
"It was the first week in November, I
1907, when we arrived here. There was
very little snow or cold weather until
after the holidays, then the snow and ,
cold increased, but to no great extent. ,
I think the coldest I heard of was 30
degrees below zero, but that degree of !
cold would not be felt here any more
than 10 degrees below zero would he
back home in Michigan, owing to the
beautiful dry atmosphere of this coun-
try. There came a good thaw every
month that settled the snow, the fields
soon became bare, and on the 12th of
April I commenced ploughing. The
snow was then all gone and summer at
hand. This last season was some-
thing more than an average year
around here, with fine crops gathered
from a laige acreage. In parts the
crops w'ere less than average, but gen-
erally speaking they were above it.
The price of wheat was (juite good.
Some fine yields sold at $U0 per bush-
el, while some were marketed at much
less, but hardly any went below about
CO cents a bushel.
“Oats started on the market at 35
cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents,
and flax from 90 cents to $1.00 a
bushel.
"As this was my first year in this
country, it was a hard year for my
horses, owing to their being eastern
horses, and not used to the western
climate, but they will soon get cli-
matized.
“The soil on my farm is a black
loam, about one foot in thickness, be-
low that we find about six feet of
clay, and below' that again gravel and
sand, with an abundance of excellent
water. This was the condition of the
ground as 1 found it when I dug a
well. I can say that the water is as
sw'eet and as free from alkali and im-
purities as 1 ever saw.
“My opinion is that the man who
comes here with a little means can do
no better than invest $500 or $1,000 in
cattle, after locating a homestead ad-
joining or near some hilly part of the
country where it will not be taken up
as soon. There is plenty of grass and
hay to be found in tlie hilly country
and small lakes and sloughs will afford
sufficient water for any amount of cat-
tle. The bluffs with a few hay or
straw sheds will make sufficient shel-
ter for them. There is no need to
worry about Hie market for cattle, as
there is already a great call for stock
of all kinds to satisfy the continued
demands of the large packing house at
Edmonton, established by Swift and
Company.
"The dairy business should by no
means be forgotten. It is one of the
paying enterprises of this great west.
Tlie price of butter seldom goes below
25 cents and readies as high as
40 cents a pound. Also the new cream-
eries that are fast being erected along
the lines of railroad are calling on the
farmers for their cream.
"These creameries are greatly wel-
comed in all communities, because sell-
ing cream is better than making but-
ter, even at an average price of 25
cents a pound. For a new' country the
railroad transportation facilities are
good; not yet, of course, what they
are in older countries, but the new
lines are swiftly gaining as the coun-
try gets more settled and supplies
them with produce to ship. It is hard
to say too much in favor of this coun-
try. All one needs is a little money
with grit and ambition. I have seen
homesteads that were filed on a little
over ihree years ago that the owners
have refused $3,000 for.
"There is much more that can be
said in favor of Western Canada, hut I
think my letter lias been long enough.”
Baltimore Specialist Says it Is Un-
necessary, and Proves It.
Baltimore, Feb. 21.—The intense in-
terest in the wonderful work that is
being accomplished in Baltimore and
other cities by Will. Chas Keene, pres-
ident of the Lor rimer Institute, con-
tinues unabated. Many cases of bald-
ness and faded hair of years'standing
have been remedied by the remark-
able preparation being distributed from
Mr. Keene's laboratory, and Its fame Is
spreading far and wide and thousands
of persons are using this remarkable
hair food with gratifying results.
What makes this treatment more
popular is the fact that free trial out-
fits aro sent by mail prepaid. Those
who wish to try it are strongly ad-
vised to write to Mr. Keene at tlip
Lorrimer Institute, Branch 213, Balti-
more, Mil. They will receive the full
trial outfit free of charge and much
useful information about the hair
which will put thorn on the road to a
rapid and certain improvement.

The following Is an extract from a
I ttor received from Mr. H. II Meyers
of Stntgart, Ark.: "You would great-
ly oblige me if you would introduce

tives there, in whom I am much I
concerned, and 1 understand the Oil I

it as the best medicine 1 ever had I
in my house. It cured me of a bad |
case of Hie Bloody Flux in less than I
one-half hour, and It cured my grand- I
daughter of a bad case of Cholera Mor- ;
bus in a very short time.”

Lorella listened attentively. As he
concluded, she asked: “Did you catch

Nervous Women
. For nervous, tired women, we recommend Car-
dui. Cardui is a woman’s medicine. It acts specifi-
cally on the female organs and lias a tonic, building
effect on the whole system. It contains no harmful
ingredients, being a pure vegetable extract. If you
suffer from some form of female trouble, get Cardui
at once and give it a fair trial.
CARDUI
It Will Help You J1
Mrs. W. W. Gardner, of Paducah, Ky., tried Cardui and writes:
*1 think Cardui is just grand. I have been using it for eleven years.
I ant -18 years old and feel like a different woman, since i nave been
taking it. I used to suffer from bearing down pains, nervousness
and sleeplessness, but now the pains are all gone and I sleep good.
I highly recommend Cardui for young and old.” Try it.
