INTRopvenoN-.-_With this chapter
we begin the readine of the second
part of the book of Isaiah, now com-
rnonly called Second Teaiult, It will
be noticed:,(1) that while in the fleet
part of the book the Assyrian empire
and its invading trnues are .every-
whero present, here Assyria is men-
tioned only once, ane', then, with ;Egypt,
as an oppressor of then past (eh. 52:.
4); and (2) that the prophet appears
to be addressing messages of comfort
and of hope to people who have been
long in exile in Baby:on, and predicts
both the overth: ow of that empire,
whose period of great power followed
that of Assyria, and lasted from about
B.C. 004 to 538 (47: 1-9; 48; 20), and
also the return of the exiles to their
own ruined and - vastated land.
It will also be noticed that the pro-
phet mentions Cyrus the Great, king
of Persia, who conquered Bablyon in
R.O. 538, and who permitted the cap-
tive Jews t return to their own coun-
try, as having already been raised up,
and as having already, for some time,
proceeded pon his career of victory
(41: 2, "the righteous man"; 44: 29;
45: 1-5; '7: 11; 48: 14). This fact
would seem to fix the date of this sec-
ond part of the book of Isaiah, or at
least of chs. 40 to 49, shortly before
the fall of Babylon, or within the four
or five preceding years. The .people
to whom he addressed himself, and to
whom he brings .his messages of coni-
fer are the Jewish exiles in Babylon,
despairing after long years of captiv-
ity of ever seeing their home land
again,
It will great.,, help an the under-
standing of the Lesson if the whole
of chs. 40 to 49 be read.
I. THE MI$SSAOE or COMFORT, VS. 1, 2,
The prophet hears the divine voice
calling' upon him and hes fellow pro-
phets to bear massage of comfort end
of hope to his.capteve.people, to Jern-
salem in exile. The word warfare
meansliterally a period, or term of
service, and should be : - translated
(r-- Job 7:.1 • there the same Hebrew
word is translated "appointed tine'.).
The reference here is to the period of
exile which ' now to be ended, Her
Iniquity f..- which the earliee prophets,
Jeremiah and. • Ezekiel, declared she
had been ;eat into exile, is now par-
doned. She has received an amply
sufficient punishment for all hre sins,
Such seems to be the meaning here of
the word double, Compare Jer. 16:
a' 18 and Rev. 18: 6.)
II. T1IE VOICE, VS. 3-8.
The company of the prophets now
hear the divine voice bidding them
pr, pare the way for the .,outing of the
Lord to deliver the captives and to
lead them back to their own land. The
"language is hi,hly figurate, . end rep-
resents the prophets as pioneers pre-
paring the road for the coining of a
king, The dramatic form of speech
both here and elsewhere frequently
thrcuehout the prophec is very effec-
tive. The same words with slight var-
iation are used of the preaching of
'John the Baptist, Matt, 3: 3, ate. The
voice calls the prdpl:et., to prepare the
minds and hearts of a deeply dispute
aged people fur the great deliverance
which he foresees. The words spoken
by the voice (vs. 3, 4), may, be rear.
dared:
In the wilderness prepare ye the way
of the Lord,
Make level in the desert a highway for
our God;
Set every valley be fills l up,
And every mountain and hill be made
low;
Let the uneven be made smooth,
And the ridges a plaia.
The deliverance 0f the Jewish cap-
tives in Babylon, following the cape
ture of that city by Cyrus (45: 13),
will be so notable an event that all the
world will see and acknowledge the
power and the goodness of Jehovah,

voices the hopelessness of them all.
They have no faith,or courage, to
bear such a message of hope, Fifty
years or more of exile, since the first
deportation: of captives in 597 (2
Kings -24: 10-16), had passed. The

ginning of the ile, stands, and will

III; THE GOOD TIDINGS, VS. 9-11.
In vivid, dramatic style th' prophet
now calls upon Jerusalem to shout the
good news from the mountain -top to
the other desolate cities of Judah, that
the exiles are returning home. Very
beautifully.he pictures the Lord its a
good shepherd bringing home his flock,
dealing gently with the weak, and
bearing the little ones in his'bosom,

Ezek. 34: 12=16.

NORANDASTRONG
By LLOYD J. MOORE
Member Standard Stock Sud: Mining
Reversals overtook the entire 'Ca-
nadian mining list during the anal
week of March, Sharp declines were
registered all across the llst. There
was a fairly substantial recovery be-
fore the Easter holiday, but indica-
tions were present that the selling
movement was not entirely finished.
There were some exceptional oppor-
tunities for securing stooks at bargain
prices. Noranda dipped below 947
and -Nickel went to $41.75 on March
26th, when call money commanded
20 per cent. in New York. The liqui-
dation of mining stocks was caused
primarily by the disastrous break
which .took place in New York. In-
ternational Nickel was one of the prin-
cipal sufferers, but although the de-
cline in this stock was sharper than
1n•most of the others, it was not great-
ly out of line. Much distress selling
took place. This involved a great
many people, since the stock is very
widely held in Canada, The New
York selling had every appearance of
including heavy short sales augment-
ing
ugmenting the already large Now. York in-
terest on the short side that has been
known to exist.
Nickel recovered vigorously to $52
before theend of the wsetc, but was
again subject to father •selling on
Easter Monday in New York while
the Canadian exchanges were closed.
,The sponsors of Nickel are quite as
emphatic concerning its merits for a
long hold as they were in more bouy-
ant markets of January and February.

less in line with the general trend of

Noranda Meeting
Oue'of the most interesting develop
meats ofthe weak was the annual
meeting of Noranda Mines, at which
President J, Y. Murdoch gave much
data of a tamable character concern-
ing recent operation at the Horne
property. It was announced that dia-
mond -drilling data shows the ,gontiuu-
ance of ore to a depth of 1,500 feet,
The •management is conservatively
estimating a production of 2.000 t0u
from two reverber:;tory smelting units
toward the fatter part of the year, It
is expected unofficially, however, that
the production will be about 2,600
tons a day, Ful( advantage is being
taken of• the present high price of cop-
per: The highest quotations avallabl
are being obtained for the current
production Of metal. The results 0f.
exploration and development work
since the beginning of this year have
been highly encouraging. Occurrences
of sulphide below the 875 -foot level
are shown to be -of ,very large dimen-
sions containing much highly profit-
able ore. Mr. Murdoch was unable
to give any'further' figures 0f new ore
placed in sight beyond saying that
the work thus far this year had shown
up more ore than would be handled
by the 'welter during the entire
twelve months, Last year's work
showed '$9 of ore placed in sight for
each $1. put through the smelter. In
other words -the additions of new ore
amounted to 952,000,000 and gross pro-
duction was ap'proximately 96,000,000.
As -etas been indicated in these
columns in previous articles the Horne
smelter is performing much beyond
expectations.
The shareholders were informed
that only a small portion of the pos-
sibilities of the property has yet been
explored and the officials are confi-
dent that ore wilt he found at much
greater depth than have been investi-
gated up to the present.
The shareholders approved the by-
Ihw to issue one new share for each
thirty held at $45 per share.
Sherritt-Gordon
Among the other stocks that recov-
ered readily from the selling- pressure
of the past week, none was more im-
pressive than Sherritt-Gordon. This
stock rebounded from its slow at 97.10
to a high at $8.75 before the close of
the week. On numerous occasions re-
oently Sherritt stock has seemed
scarce and remarkably good buying
power has been noticed. Upon the
Oompletion of construction of the rail-
way line to the property probably by
September' the development of the
aline will enter a new phase. It has
been practically decided that the
Hudson Bay smelter will be located
adjacent to the Gime deposits about
twenty miles from the Flin Pion and
not far distant from Cranberry Port-
age, This smelter well treat concen-
trates from both properties according
to present indications, It seemed
like unnecessary duplication to have
two smelters in Northern Manitoba.

don should benefit substantially from
the cooperative arrangement. Bath,
properties are developing well, Cur-
rent prices of copper should swell the
probable profits of .each and especially
of Sherritt-Gordon, which has a higher
copper- content in its 'ore. It is diff.-
cult to ,predict the metal markets far
ahead, The price of around .241
Dents for copper -looks entirely too
higb to be reasonable. The demand
and supply situation points to the con-
tinuance of comparatively high prices.
An average of around 17 cents a pound
over a long period would enable the
new Canadian producer's to earn very
handsome profits, Such an estimated
Price appears to be .very conservative.
Copper Refinery Promised
An announcement of far-reaching
importance was made by Premier Fer-
guson in the Ontario Legislature that
a copper refinery would be built
by. International Nickel -Consolidated
Smelters and Ventures, Ltd., in the
Sudbury district. The probability is
that Sherritt-Gordon and Hudson Bay
blister copper will ,be treated at this,
refinery. It will have a capacity of
10,000 tons a month and will cost
approximately 94,000,000. It will treat
Frond blister copper as soon as that
mine comes into production. At the
same 'time it is interesting to note
that President 1, Y. Murdock has re-
affirmed Noranda's intention of build-
ing its own refinery at some site to be
decided, probably on the Lower St.
Lawrence. The Noranda enterprise
has British Metals Corporation and
Nichols Copper Company associated
with it.

that while modern times leave gained
in speed and eeonomla, they have de-
finitely lost in picturesqueness,

he said, "was built in 1757, and

Gasoline Waste

Harrisburgh, Pa, -It will require
17,000,000,000 gallons of gasoline and
400,000,000 gallons of oil to feed the
750 milliou 'horses" tied up in the 25,=
000,000 automobiles fa operation in
the United States .during 1929.
This estimate was made by Dr. Gus-
tav Egiolf, chief technologist of the •
011 Products Company, 01 Chicago,
while attending the Pennsylvania 'In-
dependeet 011 Men's Association here.
• Egloff pointed out that the average
automobile is only 20 per cent, effici-
ent la fuel consumption and that ap-
proximately 80 per cent. of all its fuel
is wasted.
Egloff said that the average gasoline
of to -day is far too good for the aver-
age car. He said it is up to automo-

deletion motors' which will be more
economical.
With such motors, Egloff said, more

The Badger's Home
The badger may .not be the fastest
digger among- animals, but his meth-
ods are perhaps the most scientific.
The long, curved claws of his front
feet throw the dirt back fa a constant
stream, while the hind feet are used to
push it still farther, When the tun-
nel begins to ,get too full of loose dirt
the badger backs out and forces the
dirt ahead. of him.
.His house, usually far down uader
the ground in the shady Woods, Is
large and admirably arranged. There
are many rooms and each has its pur-
pose. This animal is not only partioul.
lar in the choice of its food, but care,

to classify the "eats," putting them in
