Nor is the way of taking charity from the public resources likely to prove a pleasant experience. 'Canada is waking up to the fact that she has been all wrong in developing a class of people who Will not work it that class can get anyone to feed and clothe and shelter them. iSchool boards are finding out that they have made a mistake in encouraging sturdy out-of-works to continue taking classes at schools of one sort and another with no other object that killing time and loafing rather than giving themselves to hard study. Parents have learned that the excuse “work is hard to get,” simply will not wear. Hard though the times have been for a few years, they have been no more difficult than they have been for centuries. Youth should learn to secure a halter and then to get a horse. Any youth worth his salt may get a job and then secure a business, ******** GETTING THE POINT OF VIEW Is rui’al Ontario to continue cohtent to be run by a few big cities? It looks very like it. At a county gathering we find the city man given the seat of honor. The city singer is credited with giving forth sweeter songs than the girl or matron who lives on the sideroads or on the back concessions. When a head office official visits a gathering of church folk, the country brethren rise as if in the presence of some awe-aspiring. Majestey. When a simple minded country chap brings "forward a measure for the welfare of the country he is1 laughed out of existence by the high and mighty city man, and voted out of usefulness by country votes.

He sent Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, against Jpdah. and Jerusalem. After a prolonged siege the city fell. The sons of the King of Judah were slain before his eyes, then his own eyes were put out as he was “bound with fetters o£ brass and carried to Babylon.” Now we know’ the significance, the “why” of the Exile, It was sin, and. judgment. “Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Gal 6:7). But Jeremiah, the prophet of judg­ ment, was also the prophet of for­ giveness. For God is not only a God. of judgment but also a God of grace. Israel went into captivity and ex­ ile because of her sin. Why was she restored? Because of her righteousness and good record? Not because of God’s grace. And grace means undeserved favor. After Jeremiah’s divinely given predictions of God’s stern and de­ served judgment upon Judah for' her utter failure and sin, the prophet sent another messenge, many years later, to the chosen people upon whom his prophecy of judgment had been fulfilled. These people were in the land of captivity, Babylon. Jere­ miah sent them a letter; “For thus saith the Lord. That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon J, will visit you, and perform my; good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. /For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord thoughts of REVIEW: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE Peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end ... And I will be EXILE AND THE RESTORATION found of you, saith the Lord: and II will turn away your captivity, and I . will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be. carried away captive” (Jer. 29:10- 14). Jeremiah’s prediction of judgment had come true. Did his predictions of mercy, grace, and restoration come true? They, could not fail, fdr they were God’s own words. Ezra tells us the story, after Jere­ miah had died. “Now in the first year of Cyrus, King of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be ’fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, King of Persia, that he made a pro­ clamation throughout all his king­ dom” (Ezra 1:1). This royal pro­ clamation permitted and directed all Jews living in the1 world-wide empire of Cyrus to reburn to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple there. Those of God’s people who loved Him most and wanted to worship Him in His House accepted the royal permission that came to them in ful­ fillment of prophecy. “But the mass of the nation, and most of the prin­ ces, remained by preference in Baby­ lonia and Assyria, where they were prospering.” God’s grace directed the mighty earthly monarch Cyrus to take this action. God’s grace brought His people back to the land He had cov­ enanted to them. That is the sign­ ificance of the restoration. The Golden Text, given above, is well chosen as the explanation of the blessing that came to Israel and that comes to any and all men. Nor could we have had a better lesson as the first one in this quarter’s series of Old Testament studies than the we had in Isaiah 53, which gives us the Gospel of God’s grace: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every, one to his 'own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.’ “And with His stripes we are healed." Sunday, December 29 from them Golden Text The mercy of the Lord is everlasting to everlasting upon that fear Him, and His righteousness upon children’s children.— (Pso. 103 :17.) Why were God’s chosen people the Jews, exiled from the land God had promised them and subjected to the humiliation of captivity by hea­ then nations And why were these same chosen people restored later to their prom- ied land? The title of this lesson, reviewing our three months’ Old Testament studies, suggests these two ques­ tions. Can we discover the mean- of the exile, and again, the meaning of the restoration? We 'call Israel and chosen people—why? calls them that. “'The hath chosen thee to people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth . . . Because the Lord loved you." (Deut. 7:6-8). And why did God love this people? Not because they were lovable—far from it; but because His perfect love and infinite wisdom chose them to be the recip­ ients of His special favor. Beyond that we cannot go. Having chosen this people for spe­ cial favor, God told them plainly that, if they responded to His love, trusted Him, worshipped Him only, and did His will, their lives individ­ ually and nationally would overflow with blessing. He told them with equal plainness that if they turned away from Him, served other gods, rejected His love and His will, He would have to deal with them in judgment and punishment, In Jeremiah’s time, as times before and since, Israel and Judah had turned away from God, Jeremiah tells them they had stolen, murdered, committed adultry, sworn falsely, worshipped other gods, as they did “all these abominations.” “And now, because ye have done all these works, saith tire Lord ... I will cast you out of My sight.” (Jer. 7:13-15). Then followed the dreadful pro­ phecy from God: “Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness: for the land shall be des­ olate” (Jer, 7:34.)

The nervous energy used up in trying to keep up with the strenuous pace of modern day business and pleasure soon depletes the nerve force and it is not long before one is on the verge of a nervous break­ down.The exhausted nerve force may bo restored by the use of Milburn’s IL & N, Pills, and in this way bring back health, strength and vigor to the system.
