NcN VI III IiLLlS LliGhS art suggest
Cd for practical gardening. One OF
these is use Of a board laid over
the rows OF seed for a few days, at
ter planting to hold the moisture
and make the seeds start during
dr. weather. Another IS to flood the
furrow with water and allow it to
soak into the soil before dropping
the seeds; then cover the seeds
with dry earth. Slightly packing or
irming the dry soil will help to
bring the moisture to the surface
and make the seeds grow.
The department says the fall gar.
dens should not be overlooked for
they are profitable. crops mature
quicker in the late summer than in
the spring due to the shortening of
ihe days and the tendency of the
plant TO hurry up to produce it's
seed before winter oYertakes it.

KEEP TIE GARDEN BUSY

from The CIarksbure TeIeeram)
The federal department of agricul
re in bulletin released for pub
LEGATION today advises those who
have gardens to keep them produc-
ing all through the season.
The farmer Of the middle section
latitudinally speaking plants his
spring garden, then gets busy with
farm crops and very little further
attention is given the garden. the
bulletin states, unless the work is
donc by the women. This is largely
tr@a of others who have gardens.
To get maximum production it is
necessary TO keep the garden land
busy all the time; and this can be
done in two ways, the department
advises first by companion crop
ping and second. by following one
crop with another, or successive
planting.

I. The Controversy in tho Church at


I. The Controversy in the Church at
Art'ooh wv. 1-5)
This difficulty was a most serious
ore, for 1t threatened the disruption
Of the church into Jewish and Gentle
divisions.
Tie question was, "Shall Gentle con-
veris be required to keep the Mosaic
law rs a condition of salvation?" This
ssro was brought on by the coming
Vt G rtain men from Jerusalem who
dec ed, Except We be circumcised
aftef The manner of Moses, We cannot
be ssred" ". u. The question was so
dif'cnlt that Paul and Barnabas were
una to put them to silence. These
Jewish legalists had the letter of the
Scriptures on their side; they could
point To the commandments where
this was enjoined upon believers (Gen.
17:1D. Paul could not point to any
Scripture where 1t had been abro-
gated. If Paul could plead that Abra-
ham was justified before he was cir
cumcised, his antagonist could say
"Yes, but after justification the rite
was divinely imposed" The brethren
at Antioch decided to refer the matter
to the mother church at Jerusalem, Ac-
cordingly Paul and Barnabas and
others were sent as .deputation to
Jerusalem.
II. The Deliberations of the Council
wv. 6-21).
l. Peters Speech (vv. 7-11). He
argued that God had borne witness to
His acceptance Of the Gentiles by CIV
ing the Holy Spirit to them the same
as unto the Jews Since, therefore,
God had not put difference 1t would
be folly for them to do so. Gods
action In sending Peter unto them was
the unanswerable proof that there was
no distinction to be made.
q Paul and Barnabas rehearse their
experience w. 12). They told how that
God had set His seal Of approval upon
their preaching of salvation by grace
through faith apart from works, by the
working of signs and wonders through
them.
3. The argument Of James wv. IL
21). He took the fact declared by
Peter and showed how it harmonized
with the prophecy of Amos. He
showed that the reception of the Gen
tiles was not in conflict with Gods
plan, but in strict harmony there
with. Gods plan for the ages is as
follows: az Taking out from among
the Gentiles a people for His name
