1t required five months for the news
of the fall of Jerusalem and the cap
tivity of Judah to reach the captives,
Jehoiachin, when the choicest spirits
and princely leaders were deported by
the Assyrians. The news of the de-
struction of the temple and the down
fall of Jerusalem and Judah caused the
captives. who had declined to accept
Ezekiers prophecies concerning the
doom of their capital with its temple
and the overthrow of the political
powers of Judah, to accept him as a
prophet of God.
The most interesting personality in
the great group of prophets" was not
deceived by the change in the attitude
of the exiles toward him He recog
nized that national fanaticism had pre-
viously controlled their hearts so that
they derided and maiigned him. but
with the fulfilment OF his predictions
Ezekiel radically changed the note of
his preaching. He with his remarkable
insight into the workings of human
nature, clearly saw that the great
catastrophe that had overtaken the ma
ton had driven home his message to
their hearts in a more poignant way
than his words possible could do so ne
Zealously tried to stir up the falth ana
hopes of his disheartened countrymen
by pointing out the rich possibilities
awaiting Israel in the future by prophe-
cies of promise and cheer He vindi-
Gated the punishment that the nation
had suffered because of their disloy-
atty to God, although he emphatically
placed upon the nations leaders the
responsibility for the disaster that had
overtaken his countrymen. He pointed
out their failure. for Judah's autocratic
government had been condemned
The idea of pastoral care Of souls,
and the recognition of it as duty. Is
first found in Ezekiel. He saw in the
Transforming power of the human soul
through conversion, conservation and
conformation of life to Gods will under
proper pastoral supervision the hope
of Judah being revived and restored
to the Promised Land. In the opening
verses of the lesson there is no refer
ence by the term shepherd to pastor,

Some of the prophecies of Ezekiel are
yet waiting to be fulfilled. The deyelop-
ment of Zionism which few years ago
was considered to be an idle dream n
now by many looked upon as the
method by which at the close of this
war the question of the political con-
troll of Palestine will be settled The
return of the scattered Israelites to the
Promised Land is to be time of great
blessing. The times of refreshing
which Peter referred to at Pentecost.
will be seen when Israel repents
and returns to the land from which
they were driven into exile because
they were disloyal to God. When God
restores His people TO the holy land
and appoints over them a second David,
the sufferings and sorrow that has
marked the Hebrew peoples history
will be ended for God will be their de-
tense.

unless it be outside the shop. In con-
trast to the modern masons. the ancient
builders Of cathedrals had their souls
in their work and accomplished their
task with affection"
The author continues:
1.-THE war has revived this love and
respect for manual labor. Even in
those shops in which the extreme spe-
cialization of work obliges the men to
make the same motion over and over
again in the manufacture Of guns. the
monotony OF the action has not smoth-
cred the consciousness of the import
ance of his task. The workman knows
that the slightest fault may mean death
for the soldiers. and he has taken to
heart the desire to be infallible. In a
shop for the adjustment Of fuses. a
woman had been punished with a
weeks suspension because she had
been inattentive She was also de-
prived by her comrades of the honor
OF taking wine with them. They said
10 her. This will teach you TO do
things seriously. they considered them
selves part of the national defense.
In a shop where si4 women are en-
Dloyed. only three defective adjust
ments out OF $4,000 fuses were noted
by the inspectors. and, after examina-
ton. only one fuse was discarded. Thus
in such an amount of delicate work re-
curing so much attention only one
mistake was discoyered-one in $4,000
i'm a day chosen at random by the
inspectors. Sometimes there is not a
single mistake. Woman is endowed

the ground for that mutual good will

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

using it for their own advantage Sam
uel had warned the nation concerning
the dangers of establishing a kingdom.
Jehovah is not a God of aristocracies,
autocracies or classes. The rule of the
Almighty is against all forms OF des-
potism and autocratic power of car or
kaiser. The tendency of such forms of
government is to magnify the personal
wishes of the despotic ruler. 1t tends
to develop spirit of materialism and
military display of force and pomp that
will glorify the autocrat who, in his
desire to carry out his own program,
neglects the sick, broken hearted,
scattered and unprotected people.
The prophet was ordered to condemn
men who used their positions of trust
to increase their purse, position and
power at the expense of the people.
Those who sought the fleece and not
the welfare of the flock, who plundered
and oppressed the people by their in
Justice and violence, were not the only
ones upon whom the woe is pro-
nounced. The delinquent is also hailed
into the presence of the eternal Judge
and condemned for his failure to per-
form his duty. Sins of omission must
be accounted for just as much as sins Of
commission. God will hold the auto
cratic rulers to account for their mis-
deeds and disagreement of men by
depriving them of their power. In
place of the autocratic rule of the ty-
rant who controls by force God will
nle whose hearts respond to His ap-
peal of love would rule.
When Cod removes the tyrants from
power because of their violation of
their duty to the people He evidently
bases His hopes for the esta blishing
of the rev government upon the re-
sponsiveness of the individual soul to
the moral appeal. In his shorter His
tory of the English People Green has
shown that every great reform has
sprung not from the higher and in
tellectual classes. but from the heart
of the common people just after some
great revival of religion. The magma
charta. the first parliament, the sweep
ing overthrow of the Stuarts, the
abolition of the slave trade, the i'm
provement of Englands prisons, were
all directly due to great revivals of
religion Ezekiel believed that the re-
lation of God to man adjusted itself
according to the relation of man to
God and seek forgiveness: that out of
would repent of their sins, turn unto
God and seek forgiveness. that out of
that revival of faith would come the
new government which would recog-
nize the rulers responsibility to care
for the people rather than themselves
countrymen not to worship the idols
and sacrifices Ezekiel reorganized the
Jewish faith upon spiritual founda-
ton. He called for all Jews to wor-
