would cleanse them from their evil

thein a new heart to serve him faith-
fully, and put his own spirit within
[them. Once more would he renew his
:Ancient covenant with them and they
would be his people and he would be
their God, ch. 36: 19, 24-28. He liken-
ed the resurrection of the Jewish na-
tion to the, resurrection of a great
army of the dead whose dry bones lay
in the valley where they had fought
their last fight. For the Lord sad
Said: "Behold, I will open your graves
land cause you to come up out of your
graves, 0 my people; and I will bring
you into the land of Israel... , And
I will put my spirit in you and ye
shall live, and I will place' you in your
own land."
But the most immediate and strik-
Ing predictions of return are those
found in the so-called Second Isaiah,.
Isa, chs. 40 to 55. There it is de-
clared that the years of banishment
are drawing o a close, that the Lord
will lead his retuning people as a
ehepherd his fleck, preparing all their
way, that Babylon will be overthrown,
and Cyrus, the conqueror, will give lengthening of the average llfd in
permission to rebuild their city and America. This does not mean that

Jeremiah addressed to the captives a
letter, the substance of which is pre-
served in this chapter. It seems that
ether letters had been sent, and other
predictions made quite efferent from
that of Jeremiah by men professing
,to be prophets born in Jerusalem and
in Babylonia, chs. 28: 1-4; 29: 8, 9,
20-23; etc,). Jeremiah condemns
*hose men as not only false prophets,
but also as morally unfit to be the
ppiritual guides of the people.
After seventy years, Jeremiah de -
blares, the Lord will fulfill his prom -
Ise, will perform his good word to
[them. Moffatt renders v. 11, bringing
but the meaning more clearly, "For I
keep in mind my purpose for you, a
purpose of weal, not of woe, to let you
have hope for the future." The return
described in Ezra, ch. 1, took place
ehortly after the fall of Babylon in
B.C. 538, less than seventy years after
this first deportation.
I. THE PROMISE FULFILLED, Ezra 1:
1-11.
The first six chapters of Ezra tell
the story of the return of the exiles
by the decree of Cyrus after the fall
of Babylon in B.C. 538 and of the re-
building of the temple in the years
B.C. 520-515. The latter part of the
book tells of Ezra'swn mission
o to
Jerusalem some eighty years later.
The first year of Cyrus is here to be
understood as the first year after his
taking possession of Babylon, that is,
B.C. 538-537. Previous to that time
he had been ruler of the empire of
;the Medes and Persians for eight or
nine years. His consistent policy
seems to have been to cultivate the
good will of the subect people of his
empire, attaching thein strongly to his
own central government by favors and
benefits bestowed upon them. He
seems to have aimed to add the rich
land of Egypt to his dominions, and
one reason of state policy for the
restoration of the Jeish exiles to their
own land may have been the planting
of a strong outpost of empire of the
border of that land which might serve
Opine time as a base of operations

Cyrus is represented here (v, 2) as
recognizing the supeemacy oof the Ged
of Israel, the Lord God of heaven, The
language of the deem?, however, is
most probably diplomatic, and is sim
ilar to that oa a proclamation issued
by bite after the taking of Babylon
in which he says that Merodaekt, the
great god of Babylon, gives permis-
sion to all exiles to return to their
homes with their gods, and asks them
to pray for him, Of coursa it is,pos-
sible that this was , more than ;mere
political policy and. the Cyrus was
sincerely religious, but the prophet
who predicts his success (Isa, 45:
1-5), and represents him as the an
ointed agent of Jehovah's will, says
distinctly that he did not know 3e-
h'ovah, vs. 4, 6, No doubt Cyrus learn-
ed from leaders of the Jewish com-
munities in Babylonia their desire
both to return and to rebuild their
temple, and in his decree gives per-
mission accordingly.
The gifts of the people who remain-
ed in Babylon, who were unable at
this time to return, were generous and
abundant, No doubt the king's gift
of the vessels of the house of the
Lord, which had been carried off as
spoil by Nebuchadnezar, was most
highly prized. Who Shehbazzar, the
prince of Judah, was is not certainly
known, but he was probably identical
with Zerrubbabel (2: 2. 3: 2; etc).
grandson of the king Jehoiachin who
was carried captive in B.C. 597, and
who lived many years in Babylon,
III, A SONG OF DELIVERANCE Psalm
120: 1-6.
While not very much is told us in
Bible history of the events of the re-
turn from exile the evidence is suffi-
cient to establish the fact beyond rea-
sonable doubt. ossibl" the first com-
pany to return was few in number,

much rejoicing, This simple and
beautiful pslam contains both rejoic-

ejoining and prayer'joy because of what
had already been dans in the way of
restoration, and prayer that the full
flood of return might soon come, as
the streams in the South when swollen
with the winter rains, and hope that
the harvest long waited for would
soon be ripe for the reaping.

ing suggestions:
1. Market clean eggs. Never wash
eggs. Use plenty of litter on floors
and in nests. Do not let hens out in
muddy yards.
2. Keep eggs in a cool, dry, well
ventilated room. Heat causes rapid
deterioration in quality, while exces-
sive moisture is conducive to Mould
development.
3. Keep eggs away from foreign
odors. Undesirable flavors result when
eggs are kept near fish, onions, coal
oil or other foreign odors.
4. Market eggs promptly—don't
hold. Eggs deteriorate in quality
rapidly when they are heldfor any
length of time except under proper
cold storage conditions.
Farm Notes
ADVICE ON SELECTING SHEEP.
A fourth edition hasjust, been pub-
lished of pamphlet No. 100 entitled
"Advice to the Beginning in the Selec-
tion of 'Breeding Stock" That the
advice is good is evidenced by the, de-
mand for the pamphlet. It deals with
the breeds and types of sheep, with
illustrations and a classification of the
most important hreed5.
Over confidence on the part of be-
ginners in the sheep business spells
disaster, and the selection of breeding
stock is the particular point upon
which beginners need advice and di-
rection, A wrong start means an early
abandonment of the .business, or an
expensive experience in starting again.
A confession of ignorance' on the
part of a purchaser will generally
bring out the best in a salesman, and
much help in selection.
The pamphlet will assist the begin-
ner on the matters of choice of breed,
uniformity of type, and further it out-
lines the assistance made available by
federal and provineial departments of
agriculture through their officers and
policies.
A cord to the Publications Branch,
Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa, will
cause this pamphlet to be mailed to
any part of Canada.
MITES IN THE POULTRY HOUSE
One of the reasons for hens not
laying in the warm weather is vermin.
There are logical cycles or laying per-
iods and these change at different sea-
sons, which causes a fluctuation in the
egg yield, This is particularly notice-
able as the malting season approaches.
Exceptional layers continue well into
'and in some eases right through the
molt.
At this season some birds simply
stop laying for no apparent reason
and it will pay the breeder to examine
such birds for lice. Look in the fluff
and under the wings.
The red mite is the most trouble-
some of the many varieties of vermin
that infest chickens and for this rea-
son a circular has been published en t
titled "How to Rid a Henhouse of
Mites." A copy will be mailed on re-
quest by the Publications Branch,
Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa.
In this the remedies areoutlined,
and disinfectants fully described. All
poultrymen should secure a copy, and
even if their poultry is not bothered
with mites, it may be some day, and
it is a good thing to be prepared and
know how to treat the situation should
it arise.

Canadian hogs must be of a type
which will enable the product of their
carcasses to met successful competi-
tion in the world's markets. Fortun-
ately,this type produces an ideal pro -
duet for the retail trade in Canadian
towns and cities. Wiltshire sides pro-
duced, from bacon hogs provide a
means whereby Canada's surplus of
bacon can be marketed abroad at
highest values, thus maintaining a
steady demand and a good market for
hogs throughout the Dominion.
We have an additional advantage in
the production of this type of hog in
that, firstly, the by-products of our
great milling and dairy industries con-
tain the necessary elernenis of good

ly, the large acreage sown annually

by which the sun shafts are diffused,
much as in an electric light by a frost-
ed or .ground-glass globe. The result
is a strange luminosity in the valleys,
that is reflected upon the dark sur-
rounding hills. The lights and the
darks of the pattern follow and re-
lieve eaih other so forcefully that an
etcher could put then on his plate
without transposition of any kind.
I have never seen a more beautiful
mountain country than 'comes down
to this east shore of the Celebes. The
light and shade of it are perhaps more
wonderful than its color. Ali the
ridges up to the highest peaks are
forest -clad; cloud -shadowed and sun -
beamed, drifted with mists, and trail-
ed with rains... , At sunset they
clear up, sometimes reflect a brilliant
sky, but they more often show comple-
mentary colors in the calleys. Last
night there was a golden sunset and
a high ridge dga rennin down to the sea
,
rose as a barrier between us and the
fire -gold sky. This ridge showed in
its shadowed side a most brilliant vie-
let, the complementary color of the
golden sky.
At dawn, with a red sky reflected
in a smooth sea, we entered the river -
harbor of Gorontalo. There aro
abrupt cliffs rising on either side and
the narrow entrance seems at first
like some Norwegian fiord, but its
orig_n is perhaps more easily account-
ed for. A large river coming down
from an inland lake probably found
a weak joint in the masonry of the
hills just here and broke through it
to the sea.—From "In Java," by John
C. Van Dyke.
