thinks of himself as God's messenger
warning mon of his coming in judg-
ment, But in ch 5: 5 the forerunner
is called Elijah and our Lord regarded
this prediction as fulfilled in the
preaching of John the Baptist. Some

IN'I'5CDUCTICN—Thepropheey of
Malachi seems to belong to the same
yeriod as Ezra and Nehemiah, that is,
about the middle of the fifth century
I1,C. An ancient Jewish translation
from the Hebrew into Aramaic (the
Targuns) identifies the prophet with
Ezra. The name Malachi is probably
assumed from the first' verse of eh, 3
and means "My Messenger" The so-
elal conditions and the prevalent evils
which the book describes are presup-
poses are closely similar to those with
which Ezra and Nehemiah had to do.
There was scepticism with regard to
Jehovah's relation to Israel The ser-
vices of the sanctuary were being
treated with contempt. The priests
'were corrupt and ignorani. There
were many divorces of Jewish wives,
whose place was taken by women of
another rase and another religion. The
payment of tithes and offerings was
neglected. Other gross evils are men-
tioned, and there was a growing, dis-
position to question the teachings of
religion. The prophet deals frankly
and boldly with the evils whichcoming
he
sees and declares the speedy
of the day of God's judgment.

The term "burden" is frequently
applied to the prophetic message (see
Isa. 18: 1; 14: 28; 15: 1; 17: 1, etc.).
Malachi presents his argmnent in the
form of question and answer. Evi-
dently the people have been suffering
adversity and some are sceptical re-
garding the covenant bond by which,
as the prophets have taught, the Lord
was united to Iernel. The prophet

New York Times: Whatever may be
said of the wisdom of the aspirations
and activities of tee Zionist organiza-
tion in Palestine, it was given clear
standing and undeniable rights by the
British Government, -Under the terms
of the Palestine Mandate it was recog-
nized as- "an appropriate Jewish
agency" for the purpose of advising
and co-operating with the Administra-
tion of Palestine. It was placed under
the protecting power of Great Britain.
If that demands maintenance for some
time t0 come of a large British force
in Palestine, there is ao escape from
it. England has made herself re-
sponsible both morally and legally.

accessary length in showing that she

gations undertaken in the eyes atelle
