Wright, of the 17th concession of Howick, was the sec- ond on that line to have a visit from sneak thieves, when they_visited his hog Pens on Thursday night last and this time took seven hogs, three and a half months old, also some grain. Even when hogs were selling at around 3 cents, they would have been a loss, but when hogs, are the price, they are, and then being stolen, and grain to feed theca as well, it's be- ginning to look serious.

After, seventy years of captivity the divinely predicted re- turn of the Jews to Canaan began;. and now we study the message of Iwo of the; great Hebrew pr..ophets.', who brought God's word to the res- tored remnant back in their own land. The temple at Jerusalem bad been. sacked and burned by Nebuchadnez- zar, and. the Jews who were back in Palestine longed to build again the house of the Lord. But some of the people were say- ing: 'The time is not come:; the time that the Lord's house should be built." .''I'•ltey were weakening the hands and the.hearts of God's people by their defeatist spirit and propa- ganda. Godspoke in stern rebuke through His prophet. Haggai. "Is it time for you, O(- ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?" The prophecy reminded the people of their destitution, the failure of their .crops, the drought that had come; and Goci. said plainly that the reason for all this was their interest in their own pleasures and posses- sions, and their failure to give him. the place in _their lives that people must if they would know real bless- ing-. Is there not a lesson in this for nations today that are so concerned about building and renovating cam- paigns, but that let the house of the Lord stand in neglect? This was God' message through Haggai: "Con- sider your ways . Ye looked for much, and, lo, it cane to little . . Why? said the Lord of. hosts. Beca.use of Mine house that- is waste, and ye - run every '.man into his own house. Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. And I called for a drought upon the. land." Haggai did not speak to unheariitg ears. Priests and people heard and obeyed, and. the rebuilding of the terra- ple began in earnest, Then the Lord looked down through the centuries to the time, not yet come, when Israel shall have turn, ed to Him and her true Messiah, Je- sus Christ, after the great tribulation which shall come upon Israel and all the world, and when Christ shall come again to reign over this. earth,. "For thus saith • the Lord of hosts; yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, .and the sea, and the dry land; and T wiil shake all nations, and the desire of allnations shall come; and 1 will fi:l1 this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver -is nine, and t?,rtt, gold is mine, saith the Lord of host. The glory of this latter house shalt be greater'than of the former,. saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place; • will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." 0 Only God can bring this to pass.: and He said, through Zechariah: "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." THE MESSAGE OF HAGGAI AND ZECHARIAH. Sunday, Nov. 24—Ezra 3:1 to 6:22; Psalm 84: 1-2; Haggai ,Chapters 1, 2; Zechariah 4:1-10. Golden Text: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord (Psa. 122:1). The Jew cannot be destroyed. At- tempts to destroy him have been made repeatedly through the centur- ies, ever since the mighty King of Egypt, Pharaoh, "which knew not Jo- seph," decided: to pint an end to the Hebrew nation by having every new- born Hebrew man child killed at birth. It was a royal edict, "But the midwives feared God, and chid not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but save the men children alive" (Ex- odus 1:17), A Jewish baby boy nam- ed Moses was born at that time and hidden in a basket of bulrushes in the River Nile—and later on, when he had grown up, God. commissioned hire to lead all the Hebrews out of Egypt into the "'land of Canaan, to which they are returning from every part of the world. Spain, ,centuries ago, tried to de- stroy the Jews. Russia has tried it in recent times; and the latest notor- ious_ attempt is that of Germany. The Jews are still alive and flourishing. Russia and Germany have done them, unconsciously anti quite imintention- ally, ,a great favor in forcing them to save their .hues by returning to their divinely covenanted land in Palestine. For the Jews are ,God'e chosese pee- `le and those Who would destroy the p r Jews must 61 -St destroy God. \'Voe to the tatiori that decides. upon antise- mitisnl, for God said to Abraham: : "1 will bless tltetn that bless 'thee•, and curse hini that cui•seth, thee," and God always keeps Ilis'word. But God warned thcolHebrew nation that, while Ile, lrad pledged IH'imself: to give them' eventually a glorious ftt- ture on earth, nevertheless if they turned away from Hiin He would ttr , • 'TROUBLED WITH =k PRR.
