LESSON FO ROcTOBER 18TH

Lesson Title: "Ezra's return from
Babylon"
Lesson Text: Ezra S:15-36. Mem
orize vss. p, %.
Golden Text:-"The hand Of our
God is upon all them that seek Him
for good" Ezra S:22.
/. The Hand of Our God.
The hand is one of the most express
sive organs of the body. A distin-
guished elocutiOnist has shown that
every emotion of the heart can be eX-
pressed by the attitude and action of
the hand. We are all familiar with
the helpfulness of hand shake. When
we clasp hands with friend we are
drawn closer together in sympathy
and we feel our nearness to one an
other more fully.
Very significant. therefore, are
those passages of the Scripture which
tell us about Gods hand. The prophet
says: THE Lord will hold thy right
hand saying unto thee, fear not, for
am with thee" After Ezra's return
from Babylon he told the Jews who
were still in captivity, the bad con-
ditions in Jerusalem. Among other
things he said to them: "The hand
of our God is upon all them that seek
Him, for good" This is Il great af-
tirmatiOn and the expression of a no.
BILE faith. THE hand of our God
is always upon us and likewise upon
our nation. This gives us Il sense of
comfort and of security.

They came to this passage: "When

also his inheritance, which must come
into his possession. Sheikh OaSsim
said this must be taken literally, that
God would send each man his portion,
without any eXertiOn on his part
Sheikh Ahmed, on the other hand

WEATHER STATION

A weather observation station was es-
tablished on Midway Island May /,
Andrew W. Hamriek, observer an.
nounced yesterday, and reports Of wind
and barometer are being received here
daily. They are taken at six.thirty
o'clock in the evening, Midway local
time, which IL eight o'clock Honolulu
time. When the service becomes co.
ordinated the Midway station is ex.
pected to be an extremely valuable out.
post for the Coast bureaus. Observa.
lions are being taken by employees OF
the Commercial Pacific Cable Company

employee Of the Honolulu Office will 90

One interesting tight on weather con.

on kona storms. II cannot,b be said that
the new observations already taken
even begin thoroughly TO solve the
problem Of the kona, and much work
win be necessary before n final and
authoritative solution is had, but the
deduction made from the first obser,
vations IL nonetheless interesting.
During last week, when Honolulu was
sweltering in the light kona winds
Midway showed low barOmetric pres
sure, which had succeeded high, and
the course Of the storm eastward could
be traced from day to day by the shift
of the Midway winds blowing toward
the low pressure area further north.
The deduction from these data /,
| that kona storms are not at all local
but, instead, are disturbances on the
outskirts Of other storms, the konai
moving toward the low-pressure centerl
In the north. The frequency of sever,
konas during the winter would be ne
counted for by the many heavy stormi
that sweep eastward across the Nortl

duced from few data; and some ka

tremendous, the Germans have succeed

Germans paid terrible price for their
victory, throwing their men in sue

As soon as the gas clouds were seen
to have reached the British trenches the
German infantry was ordered up. In
all more than two full divisions took
part in the attack. This force was
made up of the reorganized fragments
Of commands that had been engaged in
the recent fighting, together with large
numbers Of fresh troops.
The right wing Of the Canadians held
firm despite the pressure, and inflicted
heavy losses upon the attacking force,
but the Germans drove the left wing

Elsewhere on this line, though there
was some desperate fghtingR places,
there were few notable changes in the
line. There was no infantry fighting at

been exceptionally busy, and yester-
days reports indicated that it has been
so heavy as to lead many TO believe that
