HIS BinviZLIATION AND DEATH, Chap. 33: 1-9, • III, Tun ACCOIUPLISIMENT 09' HIS WORK IN TIIE WORLD, Chap, so: 10-12. INTRODUCTION —Throughout chap, Jere 40 to 55 we meet the figure of Jehovah's servant again and again, He is called by the names "Jacob" and "Isarael" (chs. 41: 8; 43: 1; 44: 1-2, 21; 45: 4; 48: 20; 49: 8), and seems quite clearly to be a personification of Israel as-ahovah's chosen people. He is represented as "chosen," "call- ed," "not cast away," strengthened, helped, upheld by God, destined to ren- der a great service to the world, both to the Gentiles, and tohis own nation. Yet he is blind to the great things which Jehovah 1: doing in the world on his behalf, and deaf to the words of Jehovah's propl.ets who seek to in - strut hint. He has much to learn be- fore he can accomplish his task. His blind eyes inust be opened and his death ears made to hear (42: 19; 48: 3-10). Then he shall be Jehovah's witness to the nations that he is the supreme and only Goa as against the (else and r werless gods they worship. That it is the peopl i who are thought of as God's servant, and not an indi- vidual person, is clear from tine pass- age above quoted (43: 10-12)• where the plural pronoun is used ("Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen"), I. T2IE COMING GLORY OF JEHOVAH'S SERVANT, Chap. 52: 13-15. Israel. beaten, humiliated, enslaved in Babylonia.t eylle is soo nto be de- livered and resto.ei to his own land. There' he will be exalted and honored, to the astonishment and wonder of the other nations. The Hebrew text of this passage is in some confusion. The word rendeeed "deal prudently,," or, "deal .wisely" (Rev. Ver.), should ra- flier be rendered "prosper" (Rev. Ver. 'margin), as in Jer, 10; 21 and Prov: 17: 8. In v, 14 we should read "at ]rim" instead of "at thee," as in two of the ancient versions. In the first Mart of v. 15 the ancient Greek version has "So .shall many nations wonder at him," probably correctly. These verses may be rendered more perfectly as. follows: "Behold my 'servant shall prosper, bee ing exalted, lifted up, and very high. For as many were appalled at him, so. marred Was he from the likeness of a man,, and his form Tram that of the sons of men, Se shall many nations wonder at him,. Kings shall do him reverence, For that which never before had been told them shall they see, and that which they never had heard of shall they consider." Israel in exile had suffered so ter- ribly as to have lost the semblance of a nation of living men All the more wonderful, therefore. will be his de- liverance and exaltation. The Hebrew expression "shut their mouths" (v. 15) simply means to hold in silent awe or reverence. sufferer was neverperfectly realized in Israel, It remained to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ, T1fe is the true mane nation and. fulfilment of the>prephot.s vision, It is in hint, in. his life of service and, of sacrifice, that we see completed Israel's ideal and hope as the servant of the Lord; in him the realization, of Israel's ideal of char - toter and of self-sacrificing', loving service to hunl.iality. In that sense we may truly ser that WO have in these verses the most perfect prevision and portrayal of the suffering Saviour,. III, THE • ACCONPLISIeliiSNT OF Ms W10.ORit12, IN THE • WORLD, Chap, 53: The prophet telly us here that it was all a part of Joliovah's plan for the world's redemption, The meaning of v. 10 is simply, "It plea ad the Lord, or 1t was the Lord's will, to bruise (or crush) hint, making his life an offer- ing (saeriTice) for sin," In days to come he will be revived and restored. He will see his posterity carrying out his mission to the world, and seeing that accomplished for which he had labored and suffered he will be satis- fied. The knowledge which he has so hardly gained will be for the world's instruction,lnaking many righteous, Finds British Discord Growing in Egypt Van Ek Reports Bad Feeling is Rife Over Question of Independence Professor Ricoh Ek of the Univer- sity of Colorado, in a report, declares that political disagreement between Great Britain and Egypt is evident on every hand. The report, sent from Athens, declares that the difference between the two countries arise from a fundamental question, which is of the utmost importance to both parties. "Egypt desires independence," he writes. "The leaders have undoubt- edly succeeded in arousing the lower classes to the cause of nationalism and Independence, Thedemand for independance and nationalism has evidenced itself in a very virulent form on several occasions during the last decade. On the basis of their past activities, I.think it is safe to say that the leaders will not com- promise their stand, which seems to be for complete independence. "On the other hand, Great Britain seems to be convinced that control over Egypt is necessary for the matn- tainence of the British Empire. Hence she will continue to insist upon con- trol over Egypt's foreign affairs, no doubt on the basis oe the four matters which are now reserved to her control. It Is also maintained that Great Britain desires to keep control over Egypt for the purpose of economic exploitation. "At present, affairs seem to be at a standstill. The Egyptian Parlia- I1. HTS IOUMILIATION AND DEATH, Chap. 58: 1-9. The many nations or their kings, who are astonished at Israel's deliver- ance and exaltation, are, apparently, represented as the speakers. The story they tell of Israel's humiliation and subsequent rise to a el:.ce of glory and honor among the nations seems too wonderful to be believed (v. 1). Verse 2 'should be rendered as in Rev, Ver. "grew up," not "shall grow up." The reference is to Israel's past as a com- paratively small and poor people. Mof- fatt renders: "Why, Israel of old grew like a sapling, Like a shoot sprinting from dry soil; He had no beauty to attract our eyes, Ni charm to make us' choose him. Now forlorn, eaptive,, or dispersed oiiong the nations, he is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows. The description fits perfectly Israel in the latter half of the sixth century. B.C., exiled in Eabylon, in Egypt, and in many other lands. People of other nations looking on thought Israel to be -suffering entirely for his own sins, stricken of God, and afflicted. Now they know his suffer- ing to have been on their behalf, that he inight thus be qualified and pre- pared to teach them the ways of the Lord, that he might be God's prophet to them. In Babylonian exile the na- tion of Israel went down to death, and to the grave, vs. 8, 9.

LIMERICK , CORNER The Contest Is Closed For the time being, the contest is closed. Following is a very interesting letter from Miss Mattie Rabb con 0f. Ptest :�almerston,• Ontario, offering some suggestions for a future Palmerston, April 9th, 1929. Gentlemen:—•Aecept hearty thanks for the Dollar I received yesterday, April 8th, being prize in "Limerick Contest",. I see by last weelt's. "Palmerston Spectator that the Contest is closed, I think it was a splendid feature and would liked to have neon it continued' for awhile longer, A real good contest is a Pictur Title Contest, prizes to be given for the most clever or original title, You could give, say, several prizes each week ranging from $5 to $1 or whatever amount you saw fit to give. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes, and then say five o' one dollar each. Allow each con- testant to submit three titles each week if they wish. Nothing to be written 0n the post card but the titles and name and address, have,no strings or restrictions attached, simply that each person trying the contest must write their titles on a post card and send in up to a certain date each week, this is really an excellent con- test, lots of fun and interest is aroused in it, or another good one is to have the four lines of a limerick printed on a certain article and the contestant' is to 'supply the last (fifth) line, and prizes to be given for the best, last lines. Another good contest is to have some certain line of goods in an _advertisement and a certain phrase in double quotation marks will be in these ads and the contestant is to pick out the phrase in the ads and then inake up rhymes or jingles .on the ,product or firm represented and for the best jingles or rhymes prizes to be given each week, Any of these contest are good. I would very much like to see some one of them continued for a time. If there are any instructions: or more information I could give you in, regards these contests I would be pleased to do so. I remain yours Respectfully, (Miss) Mattie, Rabb,. Box 113, Palmerston, Ont.: We will be glad to hear from those who have taken part in the contest just closed or have enjoyed reading Limerick Corner.

Tariff Revision Philadelphia Ledger: The weight of opinion, as shown in the House ,hearings, favors an immediate and upward general revision of the Tariff Act. The Administration Is not in sympathy with a sweeping -revision. Administration policy, so far as is known, points toward limited changes. The agricultural duties must, of course, have au overhauling in con- nection with farm relief. The cem- ent industry seems to be listed for immediate help. Textiles, apparent- ly, are marked for immediate atten- tion. However, the plan has been to hold back from and discourage any general and thoroughgoing redrafting of the present tariff law.

Let the horse have a chance to roll as often as possible; it will rest and refresh, him. Give him a little clean earth or a piece of sod to eat now and then; he craves it, and it is good for his stomach and.blood. 18. Speak gently to the horse, and do not swear or yell at him.

The Jones Law New York World: For nine years. it has been the worst curse of Vol- stead prohibition that it smothered a great public question under thick - layers of hypocrisy. The law had plainly broken down; yet Congress did nothing either to enforce it or amend it, and the President averted his eyes from a perplexing problem and looked the ether way. Now We have reached a stage when Congress, if it still declines to foot the bill for a real effort at enforcement, has at least adopted a law which gives the country a taste of the tyranny to which it must submit and the :penal- ties it must inflict if it intends to make prohibition the chief business of the Government. To have come even this far out of hypocrisy toward. an honest facing of the fact is pro- gress.
