THE TOWN DOCTOR
(The Doctor of Towns)
Says
THE TRUTH OFTEN HURTS
To tell a man of his good points seldom, if ever, tends toward
his betterment. It may sort of Perl him up a bit, but usually it
makes him vain, and always lowers his resistance in the battle of
doing things by throwing him off his - guard.
hlattery is an ensnaring quality and leaves a very dangerous
impression. 1t swells a man's imagination, and his head as well;
it entertains his vanity, . and drives him to doting upon his own
person.
Some communities get so full of ego and become so puffed
up from"soft soap" .and blarney, handed out by individuals who us-
ually have an axe to grind, that the residents think theirs is the es-
sence ofperfection,
"Stuck up" communities are as bad as "stuck up" people. They
get so cock -sure of themselves that they are blind as a bat to every-
body's imperfections but their own.
When gets a communitygets to the point that all it is interested
in is conversation -about its own 'wonderfulness, that community is
due for a fall,
It is a serious mistake to .court only the society of those who
please, It doesn't always pay to choose friends altogether froth those
whot
wflatter. The ones who are 'truthful will' be of real benefit, for
they will tell you the truth—things you ought to know.
Tlie truth often hurts, and there are some who are not big
enough to take it, Such pe iple arersmall minded, they wince at the
pain,.get sore, sulk and pout,' overlooking the fact that the real test
of qualities for permanent success is ability to gain by criticism.
The man who seeks to, better himself accepts constructive criticism
as such; he offers no alibis and doesn't try to "crawfish,"
Yours IS a good.town—no question• about that. It has many
fine features, `many attractions, a multitude of good, hardworking
boosters, in fact, it's an, even chalice that your community has ad-
vantages that, because 'you are so familiar with them, you lose sight,
of, under -estimate and fail to appreciate.. But it is the things that
repel that retard the progress—those things that invite will take care
of themselves.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
LESON VII. August 18
'The Return From Captivity.—
Jere-miah 29: 10-14; Ezra 1.1-11 Psalm
126 1-6.
Golden 'Text.—Jehovah hath ,done
great things for us, Whereof we are
glad.—Ps. 126:3,
THE LESSON IN` ITS SETTING.
Time,—The first year of Cyrus, 13,
C.'538 (Beecher),
Place.— Babylonia, and the route
through (or around) the desert of
Jerusalem.
CYRUS' PERMISSION TO
„RETURN.
"Now in the first year of Cyrus
king of Persia,"—Cyrus was the son
of Cambyses, king pf Anson, which
was the eastern part of Elam, the.
country east of Babylonia, Susa be-
ing its capital. "That the word of
Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah
might be accomplished."—Ezra refers
to the prophecy which we have just
reviewed. "Jehovah stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia,"—Di-
rectly by the agency of His Holy
Spirit, and also doubtless through
the angency of Daniel, "So that he
made a proclamation throughout all
his kingdom."— The 141edo-Persian
kingdom extended over all of west-
ern Asia. "And put it also in writ-
ing."—' -Che proclamation was made
vocally by 'his heralds, who read it
aloud in the principal cities of his
domain.
"(Saying), Thus saith Cyrus' king
of Persia, All the kingdoms of the
earth hath Jehovah, the God of hea-
ven, given me,"—Humility was not a
royal attribute in those days. But
here Cyrus does humbly acknowledge
that he owes all his greatness to Je-
hovah, the God of the Jews, who is
also the heavenly Sovereign. "And
he hath charged me to build him a
house in Jerusalem, which is in Ju-
dah."—Cyrus does not speak of re-
building the ruined temple of Solom-
on; he would prefer to have the new
temple to be of his own originating.
"Whosoever there is among you of
all his people." "Among you" refeis
to all' parts of the empire, and not
merely to Babylonia. "All his peo-
ple" refers primarily, of course, to
the most recent exiles, who had been
made captives seventy years before
or less; those from Judah and Jerusa-
lem. "His God be with him, andlet
him go to Jerusalem, which is in
Judah."—"God be with you" was a
common form of benediction, like our
"Good-bye," \�^,hich is a contraction of
the same 'n jrds. "And build the
house of Jehovah, the God of Israel
(he is God), which is in Jerusalem."
—Cyrus felt himself to be charged
to build the temple, but he regarded
himself as building it in giving the
Jews permission to erect it.
"And whosoever is left, in any
place where he sojourneth."—That is,
"Whatever survivors of the Jewish
captivity may be sojourning any-
where throughout the empire." "Let
the :nen of his place help him."—Elis
non-Jewish neighbors are to give him
aid as he sets out on his long and
difficult journey back to his father-
land. "With silver, and with gold,
and with goods, and with beasts."—
The returning exiles, many of whom
would be poor, having lost their pos-
sessions when haled into exile, would
need money to buy the necessities
of life, on their way back. "Besides
the freewill-dffering for the house of
God which is in Jerusalem."—Cyrus
has in mind the establishment of ser-
vices in the new temple which is to
be erected in Jerusalem.
"Then rose up the heads of fathers'
houses of Judah and Benjamin."—The
Jewish tribes were divided into clans
(or families), and the clans were di-
vided into "houses." "And the priests
and the Levites."—All priests. were'.
members of the tribd of , Levi, but
the Levites asa class 'cared for the
sanctuary,. aided the priests in their
official work, served as judges, scribes
gate -keepers and musicians: "Even
all whose spirit God had stirred to
go tip to build the house of Jehovah
.
which is in Jerusalem." --The temple
and its worship were pre-eminent iii
the minds of the: exiles,'
"And all they that wore round
about • them strengthened 'their
hands with vessels of silver, etc." --
The statement includes all .• the nei-
ghbors of, the returning exiles', both
the heathen and thoseofJews that
did not feel; able to return, "Besides
all that was willingly• offered." --This
dues not imply that the gifts were
made grudgingly, but in addition to
the individual gifts made to the re-
turning exiles they were entrusted

THE JOY OF THE RETURNING
EXILES.
"When Jehovah brought back those
that returned to Zion."—It was Jeho-
vah that brought the exiles back; not
Cyrus, not Zerubbabel, not their own
power, but the Lord. "We were like
unto them. that 3ream.•'—Among the
Jews, on' the Sabbath and on Holy
Days, this psalm is used in the grace
after meat.
Their, was our mouth filled with
laughter, and our tongue with sing-
ing."—Trust and wait; The memory
of your present anguish shall be soon
forgotten in tumults of ,joy." "Then
said they among the nations."—
Aruang the heathen peoples to whom
Cyrus' proclamation came. "'Jeho-
vah hath dane great things for them."
—There is no better Christian evi
dence than the thanksgiving of'Chris-
tian people.
"Jehovah hath done great things
for us, whereof we are glad."—Their
gladness, folowin„ their despair, was
evidence of the great things that God
had done for then.

'The Christian Stewardship Plan and
Pledge" and from which were drawn
these conclusions. First: That God
is the owner of all. Second: That
man is a steward and should admin-
ister all that he has as a sacred trust
for which he is accountable to God,
and Thirdly: That God's ownership
and man's stewardship, should be ac-
knowledged by the contributions of a
definite portion of time, energy and
possessions to the special service of
God. .Mrs. A. J. Sanderson read a
very fine poem, relative to the New

Christ. Mrs. Thos. Walker gave the
synopsis of a message given by a
teacher in India which was based on
the subject "Jesus delivers from the
power of sin," The W. M. S. hymn

by repeating the Mizpah benediction.

Fifty Years of Progress
Locomotive number 5900, great-
est in the British Empire, one
of a fleet of twenty for use on the
heavy grades of the British Colum-
bia mountains, has just been re-
leased for service on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. Oil -burning and
weighing close on three-quarters
of a million pounds with engine
and tender and having a length of
98 feet over all, it furnishes an
overwhelming contrast with the
wood -burning "Countess of Duf-
ferin" which came to Winnipeg
from Minneapolis, fifty-two years
ago next October.
Tractive effort of the Countess
was 9,000 lbs., as compared with
as
that of 75,000 lbs, of the 5900.
The latter represents the latest

neering and was built to specifi-.
