hearken to him (6).
7. They will not hearken unto me
-This, then, -wee Ezekiel's task, to
try to persuade people who had
been guilty of a life-long refusal to
be persuaded by God himself. Out-
wardly, they have a hard fovehead ;
not a muscle in their -faces twitches
before the condemning truth. In-
wardly, they are stiff of heart;
there is no yielding of will or feel-
ing.
9. Fear them not -It is not the
business of "prophet to measure
out his zneseage according to the
disposition, to receive or reject it,
of thdse who hear.' If they are re-
bellious, stilt let him speak, for in
the long fun his truth is bound to
prevail. What „inspired Ezekiel
with unshrinking- courage was the
fact that the words were God's
words, not his. CoMpare Jer. 6.
3 and Isa. 50. 7, for the figure of
the flint. Whether the people hear
or forbear (11), the purpose -of -
God's gervant is to remain as un-
yielding as the hardest rock.
12-15.-Ezekiel's special mission
to the captives at Tel-abib. Elie
work was in behalf of the entire
Yu -10y given message, the assur-
ance that he went ,ae a prophet di-
rect from Goa (verse 11), and the
consciousness of an iinvard impulse
of the Spirit driving him forward.
That is equipment enough for any
man. But, in spite of all this, Eze-
kiel felt himself overwhelmed as he
sat in the very presence of them
of the captivity. His feelings were
complex as he thought of the sin
of his own nation, now made ,eleae-
er the awful majesty of an indig-
nant God. and the superhuman task
before him. No wonder he remain-
ed in unbroken silence for an en-
tire week.
16-21.-Ezekiel's further mission.
17. I have made these a watch-
man -This is only a more exaet de-
finition of his prophetic function.
Like the sentinel who is sat upon
the tower to observe, and to give
warning in case of danger, so the
prophet- was to take account of
the present crisis in Israel, and
warn the people of certain disas-
ter, while he should point them to
the way of life.
18. His blood -It is the funetioa
of the watchman to give fair warn-
ing to the wicked of the danger of
death. If he fail, then, though the
wicked die in his sins, the watch-
man mast answer for it. "Be that
fails to save life kills; and blood
will be required of him, of every
mares hand the blood of his bro-
ther."
20. When a, righteous 'Mall (loth
turn -His ease makes even more
perilous the watehman'e position of
responeibility. If the righteous sin,
he must be warned. Otherwise, he
may fall over the sturnblingblock
which God, for purposes of moral
test, puts in his path not that he
may fall, of course, but may have
opportunities of moral growth).
Moreover, it is important for the
watchman to keep an warning the
rightemds mart who does uot
because until the end of hie daye,
he will be beset with peril (21).
22 -27. ---From here on to the end
of chapter 7 follow certain spills°.
Heal prophecies of the overthrow
of the city and -nation. These vers-
es form a sort of preface, relating
o the eounneral given Ezekiel to
abandon for a time his sacred work
and keep within his own house.'
25. They shall lay bands upon
thee -His ministry among the ex-
iles will be without fruit because
of the opposition of sin -hardened
hearts. No doubt Ezekiel had al-
ready experienced the truth of this,
although nothing is recorded of his
ministry in these early days at Tel-
Abih. But' it was as he had ex-
pected, they refused to believe his
testimony concerning the inevit-
able downfall of the city.
20. Thourshalt be dumb -This was
a restraint put upon him by Jeho-
vah, and one that was to be lifted'
by Jehovah only at such times as
he should choose. Eventually there
will be some who will hear (27), and
to him that forbeareth, he will at
any rate have delivered his soul
(21).

Not an Easy Matter, as it Happen-

An Indian Judge when first ap-
pointed to his position, says the
Bombay Gazette, was not well ac-
quainted with Hindustani. He was
trying a case in which a Hindu was
charged with stealing a nilghai.
The Judge did not like to betray
his' ignorance of what nilghai was,
so he said, "Produce the stolen
property."
The court was held, in an upper
room, so the usher gasped, "Please,
your Lordship, it's downstairs."
"Then bring it up instantly n'
sternly ordered the . Judge.
The official departed and a min-
ute later a loud bumping was heard
mingled with loud and -eatnest ex-
hortations. Nearer came the noise,
the door. was pushed open and the
panting official appeared 'dragging
in the blue bull. e
The Judge was dumfounded, but
only for an instant.
! That will _do," said he.
"It is always best when possible
for the Judge personally to inspect
the stolen property. Remove the

Prolonged periods of sleepless-
ness produce a sensitiveness and
irritation of the nerves, or, as the
doctors eall it, a state of hyperaes-
theeia, which is frequently fav-
orable to thought. Some people
eari think only when walking, and
others only in the noise of streets
and crowds, or with the buzz of
eenversation all around. But meet
people require silence and solitude.

would serve to show the value of rub-
