'And he brought nre back unto the,,, 'doer of the house."—We are at the closing section of the last division, of the Book of Ezekiel,. chapters 40-' •48,which is a religious constitution' -~for the restored people, as the pro= •:phet sees is back once more in its,; ,own land. "And, behold, waters is - .Sued out from under the threshold. -of the house eastward (for the fore=' .front of the house was toward the 'east). —What the prophet saw was o course an ideal stream, but a still - ,existing pool and, a channel cut in. ?the rocky surface of the temple hill. :suggest that once a small stream did' flow within the temple enclosure, ser - wing to drain off the' blood frons: the great altar of the temple court. "And: the waters carne down from under, from the right side of the house, on. the south of the altar." "Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward."—Jeho- vah bad entered the temple by way :of the eastern gate, therefore that gate was sacred to 'the Lord and was ,closed so that men might not defile it. -"And led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of THE GATE that looketh .to- ( -wa'rd the east." -Ezekiel followed the t, 'wall of the temple court to the right .and around the northeast corner, thus 'coming to the eastern gate. —"And, behold, there ran out waters on the :right side."—This would be the s'outh- ,ern side, the waters issuing rapidly 'through the gate continuing the •stream which crossed the court with- dn. c> the river." -Some understand this as implyingthat the ,ro het had beet p n made to test' the depth of the river p � - nbeing by trying to ford'.itd and .. on?c. led to swim,and thus' to struggle pel hack the bank. c to c b "Now when I had returned, behold, uponthe bank of the river were yer}s many trees on the one side and on! the other." -Verse 12g ives a fullers account of these trees. Ezekiel only dimly glimpsed that great truth, if} at all, indeed he :saw it ,r ' These Then said unto me,.bese waters issue forth toward the eastern regign, and she lldown into the Arabah." go e —TiArabah , now; called the'(cher, .Cl is the deepest gash in the earth's now occupied surface It is by the Sea of Galilee, The River Jordan, and the Dead, Sea. "And they shall go toward rd the sea, Into 'the sea .shall the waters go whieh were made to issue forth; and the waters shall, be healed,o-. te sea _ is so salty that bathers cannot sink in it, much taore u o salty than the ocean; 100' po ndso f ocean water contain six pounds of salt, but 100 pertrnds of Dead Sea wat- er contains frons 20 to 27.8 pounds of salt. ., l come to pass, that - And it shah m every living creature which swarm- eth.."--The reference is not to fish, which are mentioned later, but . to the smaller aquatic animals which swarm in fresh waters. In ev'er'y place whither tlie. rivers conte, shall live."—The literal Hebrew is, the two rivers." Some have thought that this strange expression indicates that i theriver prophet saw- his dream . rr flowing into the .Dead Sea alongside the Jordan. "And there shall be a rnu it e of fish."—"Or- ganic very great It ud ,"-"Or- h ganic life scarcely exists in the wax- ers of the Dead Sea; neither shell- fish nor corals are found, "For these waters ars; come hither, and (bee use of their corning) the waters of the sea shall be healed, and eve thi n 8` shall live' withersoever the river co*n- " 1 eth. ---.Chi' practical and thoughtful p , nature of Ezekiel is made inanifest by the exception he makes to the sweetening river; h work of. the e e.. t marshes and pools along the shore of the Dead Sea are to be left., salt v, 11),_that Judea might have a sup- ply of that necessary substance, enaen=Qi ger Me 7 gingeri a e etn.pn . r ale � b 'add- ing :t d-ing the lemon .syrup to . ginger ale. you will 'find that Lemon is the best r ii almost t. l r l of p� Mixers s and t n Provos a ti � a� ,y drin1c, Orange EggNog Beat an e?8wita (lover beater.. add the juice of an orange altd sugar `. to taste.

"He measured a thousand cubits, We are not .told where the angel began measuring: perhaps at the eastern gateway, perhaps at the temple porch. "And he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles." -The angel'sk‘.. measuring reed • was for the purpose of measuring verticals, but the more picturesque method is that, chosen, to measure them against the- height of a man. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the wat- ers, waters that were to the knees."— There were no tributaries, so that the ;stream is imagined as growing deeper by a supernatural increase of the waters as they flow, which is nut true of natural rivers, but is exactly ' true of the spiritual forces which this. river of . Ezekiel's vision symbolizes. "Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the wat- ers, waters that were to the loins."— When Jerusalem was entered by the British troops in December, 1917, the population of 50,000 subsisted for its water supply for the most part on rain -water cisterns, one of which, it was found, had not been emptied for :nineteen years. The Royal. Engineers started work on a group of spring heads on the hills at some distance from the city, which would supply - 14,000 gallons per hour. The water 'was' lifted to ,the ton of a hill and -then conveyed to reservoirs on the •outskirts of Jerusalem. It was then made available for each householder ,on application. "Afterward. he ,measured a thous - :and; and it was a river that I could not pass throtigh."-- This increase in ,depth has been very rapid, being ac- gcomplished in 4,000 cubits, or Jess• than a mile and a half. "For the Waters were risen, waters to swim its,. '•a' river that could not be passed lthrough. -The waters risen to the ,,ankles' may. coincide with 'the' step •gained in 'r the baptism of r Cornelius, Acts 10, and, the opening, of the ..cht'!reh, of the Gentiles, THE HEALING. RIVER. Thus far the mere size of the river las been brought to the :prophet's at- tention; no* he :is to see what the river accomplishes, 'tl nd he said unto mc, Son of man; hast thou seen' this?"—It is of no value merely to see a sight unless we tee also the hidden meaning of the sight, the: message which God wottld convey to our °souls through the sight.
