answer in the gospel 6 jesus ckri3t 2434 introduction in athens st paul was face to face with the worlds highest traditions in art literature and philosophy the political glory him his point of contact and bis mes sage he gathers an audience and announces to them that tbo god of israel thagod and father of jesus christ alone answers the pathetically confessed need of the greek heart i the creek worlds confessed need of cod 2223 y v 22 the sermon is preached by paul standing on the areopagus or hill of mars the rocky eminence to the west of the city from which in ancient times the council of the areopagus dispensed laws to the ath of athens had long since faded but eninns paul begins by giving the its intellectual eminence remained but even the philosophical leaders wore found by paul to be unsympa- thetic they regarded the missionary as a mere picker up of straws as an amateur in philosophy that is or as a dilettante they scoffed at him as a sort of oriental dervish announc ing more foreign demons one day however seeing an altar with the inscription to an unknown athenians credit for a deeply re igious turn of mind which makes them more than usuallyrespectful of di vine things the words of the author ized version ye are too supersti tious should be rendered you are more than others interested in things divine st pauls attitude to the athenian heart here is sympathetic not condemnatory v 23 the proof that the a then- god paul felt that god had given ians are more than usually religious guaranteeing your pack of fruit by f c there is nothing that will inspire the confidence of the buying public in the quality of an article of com merce like the confidenco of the pro ducer that his product is a good one your money back if you are not satisfied carries weight with any purchaser nothing but a firstclass article can be backed by such a pro position with safety and of course we fruit growers are no exception to this general rule if we can guarantee that every apple in the package is just as represented it will certainly tend to popularize our output but we must bo sure of the output first the rest can be made to follow thercareabout four essentials to the proposition as i see it if one is to make it a real success in the first place one must grow good fruit we may parhaps take that for granted though it is really the big end of the proposition if every apples in an extra fancy there miglity little difficuty in getting rid of the crop and looking at it from the other angle one can of sears at it3 destination so badly battered in transit that it is of little value two kinds of growers the story 13 told of a nova scotia apple grower who wandered down to the docks in halifax where a steamer was loading with apples for the eng lish markets he was accosted by the dominion fruit inspector who was on the job and was examining a barrel of apples that he had opened george what do you think of a man who would put up such a barrel as that said the inspector george looked in the barrel why hes a rascal said he and then the in spector turned over the head of the barrel and showed george his own name that sounds too good to bo true but we have the papers to prove it and there is no question that it would be a liberal education to most of us if we could see our own fruit opened up in the market we ought to take pains to do this occasionally it would not only open our eyes to our own failings but would give us more charity for the commission man whom we are so fond course guarantee tho pack of a lot of j abusin poor stuff but there is no money in itu and iast havln dono a1 tms w the second essential is to pack the h 0u pm rl v boost it here is another nova scoti fruit honestly no discussion this ought to need m enforce3 this point a hundreds of jokes i grcwer puts a printed s 1 mm every barrel which he packs mm fi s sffig be8ring this leg have been made atthe expense of the f main who puts little nnnles in ths orsftces and speeches have been written and made about honesty in packing apples yetone has only to step into any fruit market and ex amine the packs which are there on sale to see that as yet we fruit grow ers as a class have not arrived notice this fruit was packed at the riverstde fruit farm middleton annapolis county nova scotia hav ing large interests in growing orch ards in the annapolis valley i am desirous of having my brand known abroad for its invariable reliability both as to quality of fruit and honesty csotlung would do more to put our packing to insure this object i fruit business on a sound footing than i hereby guarantee the contents of this tms singe simpc matter of honest package to be the same from head to packing r j head and to be fairly represented by the third point is that the fruit the face and i further authorize my shall so weir packed that it will j consignees to refund the money paid arrive at its destination in good con- for the fruit of my packing which is dition this requires real skill and proved not to be according to brand many a package of fruit leaves the that is the proper spirit and will home packing house honestly packed revolutionize the fruit business why and in good condition only to arrive has been found by paul in the altar inscription to an unknown god no inscription bearing this title has been discovered at athens but we know for a fact that they had inscriptions bearing the plural dedication to un known gods what paul read in the inscription was not a mere polytheis tic welcome to all gods that came but a mute pathetic confession that the heathen sou was not satisfied but was stretching out its arms towards the true fathergod of whom they had never heard ii cods answer in the gospel of jesus christ 2434 st paul now has his text and in the first part of the sermon he de clares that the god who has been hitherto unknown to the heathen heart is spiritup and one the cre ator of the world the giver of life the lord of the nations the kind intimate father of the souls of men vs 2429 in the second part which is the specifically christian part he declares that the god has revealed himself in jesus and calls men from sin and heathen darkness to receive eternal life vs 3031 it is this second part of the message which arouses opposition vs 3234 v 24 st paul points out that the creatorspirit the god who made the world is not to be thought of as locally fixed in any shrine or temple he inhabits tho whole world and there is no part of our life which is out side of his observation and interest polytheism did not put the whole of mans life under any of its deities but assigned to each a small part of what concerns us hence there was no dominant holy will to which man must make account for ths whole of his actions and his life v 25 st paul shows that for the same reason the heathen religious rites are meaningless the true god does not need the offerings and liba tions which the heathen offer on their altars for he 1s himself the lord and giver of life s v 26 moreover it must not be thought that one nation has one set of gods and another nation has an other set the one true god is lord of all nations and i him all peoples are responsible vs 2729 and the existence of this one true god corresponds with tho universal craving of the human heart for divine love god has put an in stinct in human hearts which makes us restless until we find rest in him we are all waiting and groping for something and that something is god who is our father and far near er to us than we think st paul ap peals to the evidence of the greek poets themselves the poet bpimen- ides confesses that in god we live and move and have our being an other the poet aratus says we too are his offspring st paul quotes these sayings and shows how foolish it is to mistake idolatry for a true worship of the divine being vs 10 31- then st paul applies the christian message of the redeem ing love of god in christ god par dons the past errors- of heathenism but now in christ he calls for re pentance the changed heart and life in view of coming judgment all men must appear before the judgment- scat of christ whom god raised from the dead that he might give eternal iife to all who turn to him vs 3234 the announcement of the resurrection and of eternal life at once provokes scepticism and even ridicule st paul had to turn sor rowfully away from athens but a number of athenians became con verts st paul had not spoken al together in vain a i the mail and empires twwdpkfarepazzu game n heres a

too often put on the market fruit which actually nets us a loss if we consider all tho items of expense in placing it in the hands of the consumer even for the grower who as dr bailey put it does not grow his crop but discovers it there is still left tho cost of picking packing pack ages transportation and selling it is of course understood just what kind of fruit we have in mind in this discussion wo do not refer to really good stuff on which we are so unfortunate as to lose money this is a misfor tune which through a combination of circumstances may occasionally hap pen even to tho best of us the mero fact that we are not making but losing money on the trans action of selling our fruit is bad enough in itsef and ought to be suf ficient to prevent our keeping up the practice but this is not by any means tho only objection to it every apple or peach or plum that is put on thoj market of course influences the price of that fruit and to a less extent of ail fruits and the type of fruit which we- are discussing has more damag ing influence that any other kind bo- cause it is poor stuff and when a con sumer gets any of- it his desire for fruit is thereby diminished just what can and ought to be done about the matter is a question it is probably not a matter which laws can i regulate education is probably the most hopeful line to work on but the difficulty there is that the type ffj grower who produces and sells this sort of fruit is not the one who sits on the front seats at fruit growers meetings or who studies his own and his neighbors practices to soe how he can
