ASKS PROPER CARE
FOR CITY'S WARDS
Rev. Williamson Urges Strict
Investigation of Chill
{" dren's Homes.

The Rev. Thorn Williamson, jr.,
rector of the Episcopal Church Of
the Advent and a member of the
Diocesan Board of Social Service,
makes the following suggestion
concerning the care of wards Of
the city.
The Importance to the commun-
ity of the care of its children can
hardly be exaggerated" said DR..
Williamson. In the care of wallis
and strays, the whole city should
be interested II goes without say
ing that when city undertakes the
care of these children. as 1t should
do under present conditions, the city
should see that the character and
atmosphere of the home should be
as perfect as possible.
1It can hardly benefit a child to
be taken from one bad home and
placed in another. The child should
the opportunity for education and
recreation. Otherwise the child's
growth will be stunted and with
mental and physical growth stunted,
the religious growth is apt to be af-
fectedz The best in no one can be
brought out without sympathy and
encouragement.
Institutional homes, while some
times necessary, are not considered
to be a preferable as the placing
of the children in good private
families. personal care. attention
and love being so necessary in the
unfolding life of a young child.
1T is due all concerned that a
Kindly and strict investigation be
made as to the character of the
homes where these children were
sent. to the end that they may re-
ceive the very best treatment that
this Christian city affords"

Jeremiah xxixi 10, EZRA ii1-s,1D
For thus saith the Lord. That
after sevenly years be accom-
plished at Babylon / will visit
You. and perform my good word
toward you, in causing you to
return to this place.
Now in the first year of Cyrus
king of Persia, that the word of
the Lord by the mouth of Jere-
miah might be fulfilled, the Lord
stirred up the spirit of Cyrus
king of Persia, that he made a
proclamation throughout all his
kingdom, and put it also in
writing, saying, :
Thus saith Cyrus king of Per-
STA, The Lord God of heaven
hath given me all the kingdoms
of the earth: and he hath
charged me to build him an
house at Jerusalem, which is in
Judah.
Who is there among you of
all his people? his God be with
him, and let him go up to Jeru-
salem, which Is in Judah, and
of Israel. Che is the God,) which
Is in Jerusalem.
And whatsoever remaineth in
any place where he sojourneth.
let the men of his place heip
him with silver, and with gold.
and with gods, and with beasts,
beside the freewill offering for
the house of God that Is in Jeru-
salem.
Then rose up the chief of the
fathers of Judah and Benjamin,
and the priests, and the Levites,
with all them whose spirit God
had raised. to go up to build
the house of the Lord which Is
in Jerusalem.
And all they that were about
them strengthened their hands
with vessels of silver. with gold,
with goods. and with beasts, and
with precious things. beside all
that was willingly offered.
Also Cyrus the king brought
forth the vessels of the house
of the Lord which Nebuchadnez-
Ear had brought forth from Je-
rusalem. and had put them in
the house of his gods:
Even those did Cyrus king of
Persia bring forth by the hand
of Mithredath, the treasurer, and
numbered them unto Sheshbaz-
Ear. the prince of Judah.
All the vessels of gold and of
silver were five thousand and
four hundred. All these did
Sheshbazzar bring up with them
of the captivity that were
brought up from Babylon unto
Jerusalem.

1t was Hagen and Jones who took
the big gallery of the day, a wild,
cheering horde that was harder to
hold in check than the Marines at
Belleau Wood. From thickly pop

course the applause for other stars

to the pin. But IL was the Hagen
Jones gallery that tore up the sod
in wild stampedes and that got the
big thrill when Hagen opened with

the fairway and the big crowd
surged in there came far away
memories of a certain city or village
street with its packed sidewalks
and then the booming cry, Here

parade swung on its way.
Hagen Faiters In Afternoon.
But Hagen's morning triumph,
while a thing of beauty. was only
JOY for a few feeting hours. The
star home-bred was not accustomed

usually been to come sweeping in

directs or of the purposes which
they are sent to accomplish.
In Exodus We read that the Lord
dealt with Pharaoh in quite a diff
ferent way. Instead of stirring I'D
the heart OF Pharaoh to a great
deed. he hardened Pharaoh's
heart" that Gods wonders might
be multiplied in the land Of Egypt.
IL was not, however, until Pharaoh
mad conspired against the Israelftes
and directed the murder of chill
dren.
Surrender of Wicked Heart.
When one deliberately chooses sin
ana enters upon a career of crime,
GOD knows better than man what
punishment will be sufficient to ac-
complish His purpose and to bring
about the surrender of wicked
heart' 1t required seventy years of
exile and captivity in Babylon to
reduce the children of Israel to suh-
mission; when the work was ac-
complished and the change wrought.
God stirred up the heart of a good
king to win immortal fame by a
kindly act
When Pharaoh set out to sun-
press a race by killing the male
children of the Jews at birth God
let him have his way until the slay-
ing Of the Egyptian frst-born hum
bled this mighty monarch and then
Pharaoh let the Children of Israel
go. Gods mercy is as certain to
aid those who do His will as His
punishments are sure to oyertake
the disobedlent.
However Gods message was con-
veyed to Cyrus, ii is evident that
he felt that he was acting under
divine compulsion. for in his procla-
nation he announced that the Lord
God of heaven had given him all
the Kingdoms of the earth. 1t was
an acknowledgment that many
rulers do not make; too often kings
attribute their power to their own
ability and influence.
Danger to Prosperity.
Before taking up the succeeding
verses, word in regard to the eff
feet of the captivity.
The Children of Israel went of
after heather gods; they continually
forgot God. The prophets were
kept busy warning them that the
wrath of God followed disobedience
and that punishment was sure. The
tribes were rent by jealousies ana
personal ambitions; and then came
overwhelming defeat, the destruc-
ton of Jerusalem, the looting of
the temple. and the bondage of the
people.
Here we find one of the great
lessons Of history. namely. that
prosperity sometimes wrecks peo-
pies as well as individuals. while
adversely often restores men and
nations through repentance and
sacrifice. Mans measurements are
often faulty; he rejoices in good
fortune only to find that 1t is some
times poison to him; and he weeps
over misfortune often to ind In Il

When a chiidless couple. possess
ing great wealth, adopt some poor
widows child. the neighbors are apt
to exclaim. Fortunate child" Not
always. Anticipated wealth has
ruined more young men than 1t has
ever blessed. A widows son may
have a better chance.
Double Blessing OF Hardships.
The pillars of the church, of the
as a rule, been the pampered chill
dren Of the wealthy; they have
nearly all come up through hard
ship and privations. Hardships and
privation confer a double blessing
they give discipline and prevent
luxury
Many a boy has found himself
after his patrimony has been
squandered. but climbing is easier
when one begins at the bottom of
the hill than when the ascent be-
gins at the bottom OF a pit into
which he has fallen. As the poet
has put 1t:
The gates OF hell are open night and day,
Smooth is the descent and easy 10 the way
But to return and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labor lies.
The Children of Israel had sinned
and suffered. and now We see re-
generation wrought by bitter expe-
rience. They had been born again.
so to speak; they are ready to
bring forth works meet for repent
ance. The fullness Of time had
come and a deliverer was at hand.
Daniels loyalty to God and the
striking evidence given of Gods
guardianship over him, a captive,
had made its impression upon the
Babylonian empire and may have
weighed largely in bringing Cyrus
up to the high task which he per-
formed. The proclamation made by
Cyrus included all OF the Israelites
who desired to return to Jerusa-
lem-"Who is there among you Of
all His people?" There was no
compulsion; IL any remained, they
were to help those who prepared
for the journey back to the home
land.
Example In Generosity.
The order was obeyed. everybody
was busy. the great day to which
they had looked forward for sew
enty bitter years had at last ar
rived. Cyrus set an example in
generosity that could not but have
touched the hearts of the others.
He sent for the vessels that Nebu-
chadnezzar had brought. as spoils,
from the temple at Jerusalem and
had put in the house of his heath
en- gods. Mithredath, the treasurer,
had kept count of them-five thou
pieces-and all were sent back
with the returning exiles.
This act stands out in the life of
Cyrus as evidence either of a very
noble spirit or of complete submits
sion to the purpose of God. II the
return of the holy vessels taken in
war was the prompting of his own
heart. 1t showed an exalted char
acter, a character quite different
from that of other kings and po-
tentates Of that day. II, on the
other hand. he recognized this as
a part of the command of the AL
mighty when his heart was stirred
to release the Children of Israel. 1t
shows how complete was his sur
render to the command OF the AL
mighty.
And so the exiles set out on their
return to their beloved city. God
moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform" We may not
at the time be able to see the hand
of God shaping the affairs of men.
but 1t Is apparent when we look
back over the past and see how all
things work together for the car
rying out of the divine will.
