Text of the lesson, Eek. xxxiv, IL
10. 1927. Memory verse, y. Golden
Text Ps. xiii, l.
A better title for this lesson rather
than the one given would be The
Shepherd of a Restored Israel" for it
is the record of a time yet future when
they shall never again be n prey to
King of Israel. the Lord. shall be in
the midst of them and they shall not
see evil any more lZeph. iii, IA, 15l.
Then shall the twelve tribes be one
nation in their own land. and one King
shall be King to them all. and they
shall never again be divided into two
kingdoms, and God shall make with
them an everlasting covenant of peace
and dwell In their midst foreyermore
(Ezek. xxxvii. bps. There are still
those who say and teach that God is
done with Israel as nation because
of all their sins. but such people must
be wholly deaf to the words of the
Lord In Jer XXI. 35-37; xxxiii, 1926,
where He says that until sun, moon
and stars cease to shine He will never
east off His people Israel, notwith-
standing all that they have done. The
testimony of the Spirit through Paul is
just the same in Rom. XII, l. 2, 1921.
They are the only nation that God ever
chose specially for Himself and called
the everlasting nation (Which is the lit
eral translation of two Hebrew words
in Isa Xiv, I, given in the. \. V as
the ancient people,. They will be the
first righteous nation on earth, and
then will many nations be joined to
the Lord and the earth be filled with
His glory lisa. TX. 1-3, 81, %; xvii, 6:
Zech II, 1913. Our lesson is one of
the greatest shepherd chapters in the
Old Testament. but Jer XIII is anoth-
or. and there we read that when the
King. the Righteous Branch. shall have
been raised up unto David the deliver
ance of Israel from all nations will be
so great and wonderful that their com
ing out Of Egypt shall not seem any
thing to be compared with it der. xiii.
3-S). The title shepherd of Israel"
takes us back to Gen. xix, 24 and on
to Ps. Xxx. !, and lisa. xl, II. and Rev
vii, II, and only in the glorious future
will our precious Ps.. xiii have its
complete fulfillment.
Many cannot see In the lesson of to-
day anything more than the Good Shep-
herd who saves us as individuals and
keeps us and cares for us in every way
and carries us In His arms and on His
shoulders the Great Shepherd who lives
His life In us and the Chief Shepherd
who will reward us at His appearing

must see and know Him as such before
we can see and know Him as the future

deed, that so many believers, truly

saved people, have no heart for the
things of His kingdom; so many preach
ers take no interest in Daniel or ReYe-
lation or any prophecy, and as one re-
Gently said, IF | can get my people
saved and safely to heaven | do not
need to bother with the things of Dan
iel and Revelation, which / cannot I'M
derstand." Is it not possibility that
to such our Lord might say what He
said to the two on the way to Emmans,

all that the prophets have spoken y
luke xiv, 25.)
In the days Of jeremiah and Ezekiel
there were those who were more inter-
ested in the welfare of themselves than
of others, who ran without being sent
by the Lord, who spoke lies out of the
deceit of their own hearts and caused
the people to err by their lies and their
lightness (Ezek xXxiy, 2, s, 10; Jer.
xiii, 10, II, p, %, 26, go. 1t is pos
sible that there are still such false
prophets, and the Lord will reckon with
them in due time, for He is against
them, and the reckoning will be very
serious matter for them. Every true
prophet or teacher should be the Lords
messenger with the Lords message, and
His word to them is, Hear the word of
the Lord. hear the word at Ny mouth
and give them warning from me" alag.
|, ID; Eek. xxxiy, I, Q; lii, 4, IL. To
all such the comfort Is that His word
will never fail to accomplish His pleas
ure, and He will watch over it to per-
form 1t Gsa. ", IL; Jer. i, y, r. W.
Let US always remember that. while
in all the Bible there are words for
each individual heart, when God says
Israel He means Israel the descendants
of Jacob, who was called Israel, and
not the church, and l have not yet
found any place where the church is
called Israel or Israel the church.
Ezekiel was a prophet of the captiv-
ity and evidently carried away in the
second deportation with Jehoiachin
(Ezek. i, /, p. Daniel had been taken
In the first company in the reign of
Jehoiakim. jeremiah was left in Jeru-
salem (Jer xxx, 11-14). These men
had Thus saith the Lord" for all
they said, and through them He was
comforting and encouraging His peo-
pie. Our lesson verses. II to 16, are
certainly plain and clear statements
concerning the gathering of Israel from
all the countries where they have been
scattered back to their own land.
Verses % to 81 tell of the one true
Shepherd who shall then rule over
them, the true David or Beloved, the
Son of Mary. of whom Gabriel said
that He would sit on the throne of
His father David and reign over the
house of Jacob forever luke /, 31-33).
Lesson verses 17-22 give light on the
sheep and goat judgment of Matt. XIV.

Are Tied.
Procure a rope the thickness of q
clothesline about twelve or fifteen feet
long Ask some one to tie your wrists
together with a handkerchief; then get
him to draw the rope through the arms
and hold the two ends tightly. Bid
him stand as far away as the double
ropes will permit. The performer is
now to drop the rope from his arms
without untying the handkerchief.
To accomplish it he must pull tight
ly against the person holding the ends
of the rope This enables him to draw
thesrope well In between the wrists un-
til on Stacking the rope the fingers can
easily reach 1t and draw it through the
handkerchief until sufficient is through
to permit one hand TO slip through the
moose of rope which is formed by this
last movement A slight pull from the
assistant causes the rope to fall free
of the hands and arms.

UNITED STATES MAIL.
A Game Which Is Played Much the
Same as "Staaeeoach.'

Same as "Staaecoach.'
An enjoyable game is United States
mail. Place the chairs at equal dis
players choose the names of cities of
the United States, and the leader. who
must have good memory, will begin
the game by calling out. for instance,
Buffalo and San Francisco These
two cities Will now change places. and
if the leader can possess himself of
either vacant seat In the course Of the
exchange the person thus ousted must
be leader In his turn. When the leader
calls General delivery" every one
must move to some new seat, and the
person that is left without seat is
the new leader.
The old game of Stageeoach is played
in much the same way except that diff
ferent parts OF the stagecoaeh and its
various passengers, the horses and so
on are selected by the players, and the
leader must improvise story intro
ducing as many of these names as
possible As the name of each player
Is introduced he must rise. and whirl
around, resuming his seat When the
leader says '.Stagecoach' the whole
company must 60 through this per-
Torrance, and when the climax of
a breakdown Is reached all change
places, and In the melee the story tell

PLEA BEING RECEIVED
IN TWO DISTINCT WAYS

WASHINGTON. August lS-The
Pope's peace plea Is being received in
two distinct ways in every one OF the
belligerent countries. according to the
information in Washington tonight
Reports which have come through on
cial channels and through the press
indicate that in the central empires as
we'll as among the entente. there is a
big element of influential persons who
wrapped UP in the war and the work
of war. decry any interruption of the
scheme they hope to complete sue
cessfully. There is at the same time
evident widespread, "A slow moving
and perhaps no less expressive senti-
ment that the Pope has spoken In ripe
time. and that national ends can now
be attained about the council table
instead Of on the battle field.
The surprising feature Of to-day's
developments was the clear-cut division
of German sentiment evidenced in
press and official dispatches received
The reports of the Flanders opera
tions Of the allies continue to be en-
couraginE. though by no means as
brilliant as might be hoped for.
Hint OF a further important military
development long in the air was
dropped here to-day by Balkan Dip
lomat. This man said that conditions
were ripe now for an allied drive
through the Balkans.
The failure Of the allies in this sec
ton has been one Of the puzzles OF the
war. It has been blamed generally to
the doubtful attitude of Greece. The
recent Paris conference is known to
have settled important politica. mat
tcrs with regard to the southeastern
countries. 1t would surprise observers
little II important operations north
from saloniki were opened up immedi-
ately. If successful, drive In this
direction would have tremendous effect
upon Teuton willingness to talk peace.
The Austro-German armies already
have tapped valuable supply sources
in Roumania. They are reported to be
aiming for the grain Of the Black Sea
coast Of Russia. threatening move
mcnt on their flank would deter them.
