THE PROPHET
EZEKIEL.

The triangular dispute now gong
on between President Wilson, ex'
President Roosevelt and ex-Secretary
Bryan concerning the application OF
the prophecy Of Ezekiel to present con-
ditions in the United States has dl,
4 rected attention to. book in the sac
red canon seldom read. The verses
quoted by the President and the tor-
mer President are about the only
portions of the book ever selected as
the bases of sermons, while the bulk
of the oracle is as tx Sphinx o.
Egypt.
But few attempts to understand
what has been written concerning con-
t,itions in the latter days have been
made.
Ezekiel was one of the prophets OF
the captivity, when the Hebrews were
being held in Babylon. Sclonion's
Temple had been destroyed, three in
cursions having been made into the
land by Northumberland and the city
of Jerusalem sacked.
The study of the book will prove
as profitable to Christians as to the
world at large, and nov that 1t Is
receiving SO much attention it will
doubtless he read as it never has been
before.
Psalm .CXXXVII. describes the
conditions of the Hebrews at that
time.
Ezekiel was the prophet who drew
forecasts of coming and glorious
epoch yet in the future when the
Messianic age shall be established aft
ter the tribes of Is rael shall have
again been gathered. The latter por-
t;ons cf Tho hook are especially thrill

the country to the closing verses OF

mr.. GARRISON EXPLAINS
CANAL RENT PROBLEM
Secretary Of War Writes to Editor
of Newspaper at Ancon, Pan
anna. Canal Zone.

Secretary Garrison has written q let
ter to the editor of a newspaper at
Ancon, Panama Canal Zone, In explana-
ton of the action Of the War Depart
ment in the matter of renting buildings
occupied by employees Of the Canal
Zone.
This matter, as you may KNOW" said
Secretary Garrison, was complicated
by almost diverse legislative provis-
ions-certainly by diverse legislative
intentions. Upon considering all the
facts, and aided as I was in my con-
sideration by the kindly help Of Sec
rotary Wilson OF the Department Of
Labor. I reached the conclusion that
the nearest that I could come to car
rying out the intention Of Congress
and doing the just and fair thing all
around was to suspend the require
ment of the payment of rent until the
finishing Of the construction Of the
canal, not later than June 80, 1916.
(You will recall that this was made the
subject of a special provision in the
urgent deficiency act. approved April
6. 1910. This course was recommend
ed to and adopted by the President.
With respect to the future, all that
I said was that rent would have to be
paid in accordance with the executive
SO soon as the canal was completed,
provided that in any event payments
must begin on and after June 80. 1916.
l, of course, expressed no views as to
what Congress might or might not do
in the premises. 1 gave no advice to
the men who visited me as to what
course they should pursue in the prem
ises What l did state was that I'M
der existing legislation, it was plain
that the furtherest period that the
executive could deal with the matter
was June 80, 1916, and that after that
rent, under existing legislation, would
have to be collected"
