L. lar Shubert revue, is at the
height of its Chicago engagement,
where it is winning great favor with
its cast of stars headed by Jack

At the conclusion of its long run

will be seen in Kansas City, st. Louis

Aileen Stanley has as wide a roper

For my numbers in Pleasure

those numbers I enjoy giving and
which would not retard the speed of
the revue" declares Miss Stanley.
I'm singing for the records 1 can
take my time, with no cares at all
about the tempo, and in concert
work the situation is much the same.
But for revue, found it neces-

Miss Stanley's vaudeville tours

Sunday School Lesson

gle event in poetry One has an
excellent opportunity here to see
the difference between mere historic
record on the one hand, and song
and poetry on the other hand.
We should miss the true signif1-
canoe of these events if we had not
this paean Of joy. It is a very beau
tiful song of pilgrimage-a song of
the going up Of those who went to
Jerusalem or to the temple. It is
also one that may be very properly
adopted by all those who would
ascend in their lives toward New
Testament Zion and toward some
higher experience in the fellowship
Of the Christian life and in progress
toward God.
No analysis or exposition can
make this Psalmist's Interpretation
Of the great event more vivid than
it is. There is in it a note of &C.
stasy in which the whole being ex-
ults. Those who have been in exile
and heaviness are suddenly con-
quered by an emotionalism that fills
their mouths with laughter and their
tongues with singing. Surround
ing nations are called upon to wit
ness all that has happened to them.
The end Of their captivity is COM
parable to streams pouring into a
desolate and desert region. Though
they have sown in tears, they are
reaping in joy. 1t is triumphant
picture which in a few brief lines
suggests the glory of re-establish-
ing Zion.
Is it any wonder that the Hebrew
Scriptures have had such profound
effect upon the world when one re-
allies out Of what inspiration and
enthusiasm they have come? Would
not any people be capable of great
ness in character and in influence
where the homeland represented
something holy and where religion
and citizenship were united in pas
sion for the common veal?
It is an experience that We might
well strive to emulate here in mod
ern America. There is much in our
democratic institutions and ideals to
quicken such passionate enthusiasm
of faith and zeal. Our country
may be to us simply our dwelling
place, or it may be to us the home
land of a spiritual ideal established
in justice, mercy, righteousness and
truth.
When America is for us merely a
homeland which we think of in sell
fishness as our abode and as the

place of our interests to the exclu-
sion of all higher matters-peace.
Justice and right--we may be sure
that the very seeds of destruction
are in our establishment, for self
ishness always defeats itself. 1t is
in the thought of America as a
modern Zion with profound spiritual
devotion to all the high things that
it represents that we, like these cap
tives returning to Jerusalem, may
find the hope of large and per-
manent destiny in the Divine
Dlan.

WYE have seen how the two king
w doms of Israel fell before east
ern conouerors, the northern king
dom in 722 B. c., under the ASSyrian
invasion, when the ten tribes were
carried off and dispersed SO that
they became 'lost" and the kingdom
was never restored; the southern
kingdom under similar Babylonian
invasion in 586 B. c., when the
people were, carried off to Babylon
In this case, however, the people
preserved something of the con-
tinuity of their life in exile.
We have been studying the re-
markable prophecies that developed
out of that period, and now we come
to the strange and dramatic sit
uation of a people restored to their
historic home returning from
Babylon to Jerusalem.
Cyrus, one of the greatest con-
querors and rulers in all history be-
ginning as king Of a province in
$50 B. c., in 20 years time had
made himself master of the eastern
world, conquering Babylonia in 539
He displayed unusual qualities IN
that ancient world of ruthless war
fare, for he showed humanity to
the conquered, and a strategy and
constructiveness equal to his military
aggressiveness in Welding the con-
quered peoples into an empire.
1t was in harmony with this
general policy that year after his
conquest of Babylon he planned the
re-colonization of Palestine by the
very people whom his predecessors
had carried off from their own land
It was joyful event for the heroic
remnant of Israel, who had sought
in exile to keep alive their zeal anc
enthusiasm for the spiritual Zion.
The return from the captivity
came in fulfillment of what Jere-
miah and Ezekiel had foretold. The
announcement Of Cyrus purpose
came, therefore, to a people fully
prepared for it spiritually, and tbs
return to their own land was some
thing more than an opportunity fol
the establishment of their homes
The event became marked with pas
sionate spiritual enthusiasm. If g
new national hope did not surge ir
the hearts of the exiles there arose
at least new consciousness of theil
call and their mission-a new sense
CT unity in their destiny as a people
OF God.
Our lesson is divided into two
parts; the first section from the
Book of Ezra presents the facts and
circumstances; the second section
from the 126th Psalm, which is
called the Song of Ascent, glorifies

Near Here

Ben Turpin, of the weird
eyes, is on comedy bent at
youngstown and South Bend
this week. There is no doubt
that he is as great a success
in RKO theaters as he has
been in the movies. He is SO
naturally a comedian that it
is impossible for him to be at
all serious. He is a funny lit
tie man with a ponderous lot
of IDEAS that always seem to
have a comedy slant whether
he means them to or not.

There is now to be seen at the Cairo

ancient queen which was recovered in

the temple had been ordered destroyed.
After the mutilation or destruction the
pieces were thrown by Thothmes' re-
tainers into an abandoned quarry near
by. Finally. 80 years ago. when the
temple was first cleared. all the debris
from it was piled together. The expe-
dition has been employing as many as
700 Egyptian laborers at a time in the
task of retrieving the fragments of
the buried statues and about 10000
tons of rubbish have been removed.
Fragments of several of these statues
have been recovered and are being as

Give Corn Water
for High Yields
Need of Fertile Soil and Use
of Legumes in Rotation
Are Factors.

No one ever saw good yield of
corn on poor land nor during dry
season. unless the crop was irri-
gated. Large amounts of water are
essential TO heavy corn production per
acre.
"Much interes. has 5ee6 created
through North Carolina by cur state
merr that the average arie yield of
corn should be at least 90 bushels"
says G. NJ. Garren, cereal agronomist
at the North Carolina State college.
I'VE have had number of letters ask
ing how TO obtain such an average
yield. In answering these, attention
has been called to the need of fer
tile soil. the use of Iegumes in roia-
ton. liberal fertilization and other
necessary factors.
Need for Moisture.
''It is also essential that we keep in
mind the need for moisture in the soil.
Some investigator has found that 300
pounds of water is needed by the corn
plant for every pound of dry matter
produced. This includes the water
evaporated through the soil as well
as that transplanted through the
leaves"
Therefore, II is important, says Mr..
Garren, that the corn grower con-
serve the moisture in the soil. This
Is the only kind that benefits the
growing plant. The grower may in
crease the storage capacity of the
soil by increasing its humus content,
and he may conserve the moisture by
keeping a mulch constantly on the
surface. This mulch must be restored
whenever destroyed. and certainly
after every rain. Three inches is a
fair depth for cultivation, and any i'm
plement that will produce the effect
of drag harrow may be used for the
civilizations For best results. level
cultivation should be given except in
a very wet season. Then drainage be-
comes problem.
Conserve Moisture.
Those who wish TO grow so bushels
of corn per acre must give close at
tention to the conservation of soil
moisture. In many cases, this will
call for a change of practice and the
securing of more suitable implements
for cultivation.
