THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY Sunday, Aug, 18—Jeremiah 29 : 10- 14; Ezra 1 : 1-11 ; Psalm 126.: 1-6. Golden Text The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad. (Psalm 126 :3.) In June we studied, in Kings, 25 how the impossible happened : God's Chosen People planted by Him in the land covenanted to them by His word forever, were utterly defeated by a heathen king, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon ; Jereusalem fell ; the Lords temple and the King's palace were burned ;' and King and people were carried away captive to Babylon. The beginning of Nebuch- adnezzar's triumph over Judah oc- curred about 606 B. C. It looked like hopeless and final disaster for God's people, His city, and His tem- ple. But "final" and "hopeless" are words too strong to use when God is in the case. God had a prophet in Jereusalem named Jeremiah. After the people had been carried away captive this Jeremiah, allowed to re- main in Jereusalem, wrote them a letter at Babylon. He had a message for them from "the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel." First, he told them to settle down in the land of their captivity, be useful and peaceable citizens, do farming, marry and raise up famil- ies, "that ye may be increased there, and not diminished" He even told them to "seek the peace of the city" of their captivity, "and pray unto the Lord for it : for in the peace thereof shall yo have peace." Then came a wonderful piece of good news. Their national destruc- tion was not hopeless, not final. Af- ter seventy years God pledged Him- self to end their captivity and brine' them back to their own land. "For I knew the thoughts that I think to- ward you, with the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected ed." It is a message evely child of God ought to take to heart, when God's hand seemed heavy upon us in chas- tening. There is a blessing ahead ; the very chastening and sulforing are in order that we I-nay:have bless- ing we could not have otherwise. Another word comes from God in this message through Jeremiah. Then shall ye call upon Me, and will I hearken unto you." In other words we must pray to God and ask Him to do what he has promised to do. This is a paradox, is it not? If God had pledged Himself to do it, why should we ask Him tho do it? Why pray for that which is promised? The an- swer is, Because God tells us to. There is a mystery in prayer ; but we are to pray, according to God's directions, without waiting to under- stand the mystery. If 'we knew as much as God knows, we should un- derstand. Let us trust 'Him and pray as He asks, without waiting to un - tiers tend. But it must be wholehearted pre. 6'er "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, with all your heart." Per- haps this shows why some of our prayers are not answered. , Jeremiah made this prediction, by the miracle of divine inspiration, about the year 600 B. C., shortly af• ter the captivity had begun. Now turning back to the book of Ezra, we tire introduced to a Xing of Persia named Cyrus. It is 536 13. C., and seventy years have elapsed since the captivity began. What do we read? "Now is the first year of Cyrus, King of Prsia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, King of Per- • sia, that he made a proclamation throughout all Ids kingdom, and put it also in writing." This royal pro- clamation announced that "the Lord Geed of Heaven," who had given Cy- rus world dominion, had command-. ed him tit build for the Lord an 1 house at Jereusalem. And Cyrus called upon any and all of God's people who were in captivity, and who had a mind to go and help in this matter, to return to Jereusalem and build the house of the Lima God of Israel." What God promises God does. Nor is God's clock ever a second late.

Let us show you that "An Advertisement is an Invitation" Afiii%Srear THE staussr.Ls rooT SUGGESTS NEW TREATY Dean P. E. Corlett, of McGill Thai- vereity, who, speaking to the In- stitute of Polities at WiClarnotnven, Maas., said that a le • treaty be- tween Canada and Lae Malted States is necessary which will per- mit arbitration of all passible dis- putes. Present treaties, be said, contain many gaps, and do not cover all disputes, dors to a most practical sort so that the returning Jews should have ev- ery facility and equipment for car- rying the work through. Cyrus stands out in shinning con- trast with Belshazzar. We studied two weeks also a chapter telling Of Belshazzar's drunken and blasphem- ous defiling of the golden vessels that had been taken from God's tem- ple at Jereusalem. He lost his King- dom for it and his life. But Cyrus brings forth those same vessels and commits them carefully into the hands of an appointed treasurer, counting and numbering them, and delivers them to a prince of Judah, to be taken back to Jereusalem for the new temple. The actual numers of gold and silver vessels and other articles are specified. Daniel was one of the faithful men of Judah in captivity who meg the conditions given in Jeremiah's prophecy that they should plead with God, with their whole hearts, for the ending of the captivity. Dan- iel 9 tells us of his studying the prophecy of Jeremiah, and under- standing that God purposed to de- liver Israel after seventy years, and then we read of Daniel's intense. agonizing prayer before God for this deliverance. Ring Cyrus is one of the most re- markable characters in all Bible his- tory. One of the amazing predict- ions in the Bible which the . higher critics have tried to get around b:.7 assigning a later date to the pas- sage where it occurs is Isaiah's pro- phecy (Chapter 45) in 712 11.0. or almost two centuries before the event, in which he names Cyrus as • the man God would direct to deliver Israel. Jsalah 45 : 1-5 should be read • with this lesson : "Thus aaith the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden... for Jacob My servant's sake and ' Israel Mine eleet I have even called thee by thy name. I have surnam- ed thee, though thou hast not known Me 1 girded thee,though thou hest not known Me" Dr. Seotfield in his valuable Reference Bible notes that this is the only passage in i Scripture where the word "anoint -1 ad" is applied to a Gentile. "This with the designation 'My shepeard' (Ism 44 :28), also a Messianic title, marks Cyrus as that startling excep- tion, a Gentile type of Christ, The points are : (1) Both are irrestible conquerors of Israel's enemies (Isa. 45 :1, Rev. 19 :19-21); (2) Both are restorers of the Holy City (Isa. 44 :23 Zech. 14 :1-11) ; (3) through both is the name of the one.. true God glorified (Isa. 45 :6, 1 Cor. 15 : 28." A Lesson Outline. • God's counsel to enatives Be peaceable. (Jar. 29 : 1-9). Assured blessing will follow chast- isement ; the captivity will end after 70 years (Verses 10-11).

Last spring a man came into the C. P. R. ticket office on Sparks street, Ottawa, for a ticket to Leonard where be had a Job. He was five cents shy on his fare, but the railway gave him a ticket any- way. The other day a man in overalls walked into the Sparks street office and said: "I owe you five cents on a ticket; here it is." Hon. Chas. Stewart, Minister of the Interior, who has been flying over the Rocky Mountains recently, announced at Banff that the buf- falo herd there will be augmented shortly by addition of animals spe- cially selected from the herds at Wainwright and Elk Island. Canadians are the world's great- est butter eaters. A recent com- pilation made by the Canadian Gov- ernment Bureau of Statistics shows that the total conaumption of butter in the Dominion last year was 230,000,000 pounds or a per capita consumption for the year of 29.31 pounds, an increase of nearly half a pound per head of population compared with 1927. .7.

The rock garden may be adapted to small areas as well as large, to urban as well as suburban and rural landscapes. It may be in- expensive, or not, as one tvishes-- but certainly it should be relatively simple. The original rock gardens are na- ture's own. They are the reeky mountain slopes, with mountain mea- dows between. Stalwart they are. yet sheltering the smallest, most de- licate of alpine plants. The avalanches of mountain snow leave rich soil in their wake in the crevices and pockets of the moan - Lain slope. Here it is that alpine plants secure a foothold. The pro- minent and exposed rocks are cloth- ed with prostrate and clinging plants while the hollows and stretches be- tween the uipalnds are glorious with larger flowers, like the aquilegia, at home in the rich soil washed down by the mountain snow. And so the rock garden becomes primarily a home for mountain flora. Many of the alpine plants will not tolerate any climatic conditions save those of the mountains. For the snows are sure to fall and last for months, land aiming comes; with a suddenness in the mountain coun- try. The winters are cold but the snows are dry, and melt quickly in the spring and early summer. Alter- nate freezing and thawing are un- known to many an alpine plant. CONSTRUCTION. We may accept the element of mountain flora in designing and constructing our own rock gardens. Broad, flat stones should be provided for campanulas and primulas, and wan:ices for aquilegia, pinks, hare- bell, and saxifmaaa The rock garden may take the epe- cifie form of e ledge, a well, or a protect the 'Underlying soil from the scorching heat et midsummee. and se provide a fairly (WVi place for such plants as demand it, °beiges- ly., then, the stone should be laid on its broadest surface. tilting slightly backward to conserve the moisture. '1 he rain will then run back and reach the roots of the plants in the pocket above. The setting for the rock garden— the immediate surroundings, situa- tions and contour, are determining factors of the type of rock garden to be built. There may be a large slope, or perhaps a tree on a knoll or in a concave "well" or the bank of a culvert, to suggest a rock gar- den. For every rock garden must fit into its site—it must have a rea- son for being. It need not necess- arily be in full sunlight, for ferns are excellent rock plants and put forth their best growth in moist, shady situations. DESIGN, • Fondness of any variety or type of plant may influence the design of the rock garden as well as the site. A desire to introduce some of the garden flowers — as coreopsis or peach -leaved bell-flower—will nec- essitate a few road, flat areas or plateaux. But regardless of the type of rock garden desired there are certain fundamentals or criteria that are applicable to any garden. First of these is unity, or oneness. Uniformity of texture of the stone used will, more than any other factor make the rock garden appear to be a single unit rather than seem to be a mixture of several disrelated units. Second is the criteria of harmony. , Is the garden a harmonious unit with respect to itself and to its en- ' vironment? For harmony means the fitting together peaceably of the elements of a composition. The use of native stone and of some native plants will help to interpret the feel- ing of the surrounding country, while the repeated use of some one pinnt is a harmonising element. Third of the fundamentals is that of proportion or of eeale. It has to howlder deposit.

'rhe foundation for the =11 may be of crushed rock or rubble, thor- oughly tamped, instead of conerete. To prevent heaving of the wall or replacement of stones by the frost, the foundation is best if it reaches the normal frost line. The ledge garden is usually sug- gested by a near -by quarry, while the bowlder garden may be very suc- cessful, especially in glaciated re- gions where bowlders are naturally found. FOR ACCENTS. A. few particularly large bowlders, placed at strategic points for ac- cents, will lend character to this type of garden. It will relieve the Monotony of a succession of small- er bowlders, and produce an effect of strength and stability not other- wise obtainable. The functions served by ,the done and rockdictate the placement of it. For the stone is to prevent washouts during heavy rains, and accordingly needs to be partially embedded.
