I-Iueston Gorrie,, Ont. • THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) says WHERE IS YOUR TOWN GOING? Two speaking engagements in one day .were 150 miles apart by way of paved roads, so it was decided to take an unmarked shortcut. As we drove, we kept inquiring, "Is this the way to Blank- ville?" Those •to whom the qttestion was put in each case replied, • "Where you going?" I decided to ask the next fellow where he was going. We overtook a man in a buggy -I say "buggy" -it was once, no doubt, but could hardly be called that "as was." One wheel dished in, another dished out, a front wheel dished both ways. There was no dash -board, the buggy seat had been replaced by a soap box, and if there ever had, been paint applied to any part of it, all traces had .been obliterated. Seated, or had I better say, perched on the bo that served as a seat, all hunched over, was a bewhiskered individual, adorned with raiment much patched and seldom, if ever, washed. As we signaled for half the one -lane road, he clucked and pushed on the lines that hang over the rump, of the most ungainly, spavined spechnen of horse flesh I ever had the displeasure of be- holding. Slowing to the pace of his steed, I made salutation with, "Where' are going, brother?" He turned slowly toward us, evacuated sufficient volume of deep brown liquid to make speech possible, and replied, "Oh, I'm just ridin' in to ride out." To say I was nonplused would not describe it -I was flaber- gasted and stumped. Here is the season of the year a man whose occupation could be none other than one demanding all of his time, was "just ridin' in to ride oat" "Why?" I asked, and he replied, "Wa'al, there ain't no' chores about the place, so might as well kill • time one way as t'othcr." There are many towns just like that -"just ridin in to ride out," saying there isn't anything to do. If the vehicle your town uses to get soinewhere is a wornout, old-fashibned, ram -shackle, dilapidated ,affair,with a spavined, buck - kneed, String -haltered means, of .-locomotion, the thing to do is wake • up :to modern ways Of doing; Give your ideas and, ways of, doing things a shave, shanipoo and hair ctn. Throw away your home spun jeans and get yourself'.into a pair of 1929 pants. By so doing, others will do 'likewise and the,n, and only then Will you, get e place. •'Where is Winghani going? - It mitst be going some place - ahead or backward. If it is "just ridin' in to ride out", it's Standing till t which is going back, and 110011 stagnation will set in, which is evert worsethan complete amiiiiilation. Copyright, 1929, A,1 D.'

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time.-B.C. 458, from about March 20 to July 20. • Place. -Babylon to Jerusalem, by way, probably, of Carchemish, about nine hundred lniles. EZRA'S COMMISSION. . "This Ezra went tip from Babylon." -In the court of Babylon a Jewish priest had • obtained great influence, and was in high favor with King Artaxerxes Longimanus. The priest,. Ezra, heard of the apostacy in pro- gress ip Jerusalem, and obtained from the friendly king permission to go thither on a mission of inquiry. "And as he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses." -In post -exilic times the scribes grew to be a very important section of the people, such as they were in our Lord's day. "Which Je- hovah, the God of Israel, had given." -It was called the Law of Moses be- cause the great.lawgiver was the writ- er; but the Author of the law was Jehovah, and Moses was only the scribe of God. "And the king granted him all his request." -Most fully and generously, as the royal edict shows. "According .to the hand of. Jehovah his God upon him." -This expression IS a favorite with Ezra, and indicates clearly what kind of a man he was. "And there went up some of the children of Israel." -That is, the lay- men, most of them belonging to Ju- dah .and Benjamin, as was the case with the first return under Zerubb- abel. "And of the priests, and the Levites."-The writer tells later of the difficulty in getting the Levites. "And the singers."Members of the guilds of singers regularly serving in the temple worship, like the sons of Korah described in our last lesson. "And the porters." -The door -keepers whose duty was to keep guard at the temple entrances. "And the Nethin- im."--The Nethinim were temple ser- vants or slaves, assistants to the Le- vites, who attended to the more men- ial tasks of the temple and its relig- ious services. "Unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king." -This was B.C. 458. "And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, 'which was in the sev- enth year of the king." -The fifth month was Ab, the last week of July, and the first three weeks of August. "For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from,Baby- lon."-It was on Nev Year's^ day that Ezra started from Babylon on the long journey, going first to the ap- pointed rendezvous of the pilgrims. "And on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem." --As the crow flies, the .distance from Bab- ylon to Jerusalem is over five hun- dred miles. But the road followed by Ezra's caravan made a long de - four by Carchemnish so as to avoid. the desert, and could hardly have been less than ninehundred miles. "Ac- cording to the good hand of his God upon him."-,--Ezra's name means • "help," and he knew that his help was from the Lord (Ps. 121:2). "For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it" - Here is a perfect description of a religions teacher: the purpose comes first, the fixed aim of life. Then comes the formation of character, the actual doing of what the mw requires without which any teaching is more hypocrisy and is ineffectual. 'Then, last of all, comes the work of the teacher: "And to teach in Israel stat- utes and ordinances." --"Statutes" are the fixed rules, "ordinances" are gen- eral rights and dttties; but often the two words are used without EZRkS FAST. "Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava."--Fasting, has real physical and spiritual value, and no one who wishes to conduct his, life to the highest point of mental, Moral and religious power can afford to ne- • glect this method, which has been proved valuable by so many centur- ies of experience. "That we might humble ourselves. before our God." -Prayer is inseparable from fasting; so is repentance; so is, humiliation. Fasting promotes humility. It shows! its what is evil within, it makes clear to us our weakness, our absolute need of God's power and guidance. "To seek of him a straight way for us." -The region through which they Were to pass had few habitationS, and no roads Or very Poor ones; they 'were very likely to stray from the straight rotate, "And for our lit- tle ones." -Responsibility for so many thousands • of women and , children weighed heavily on Ezra's heart. "And for all our substance -A list of the large' amount of gold and sl - ver which they were carrying follows. It was a tempting prize to place be- fore the lawless tribes of the .disert. No wonder Ezra trembled at setting out with it, 'It,will be seen that there was abundant reason for fasting and prayer. ' "For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horse - l'1113 to help us against the enemy in the way." -"The soldiers" would be infantry, Nehemiah, making the same journey later, accepted such an escort from the king. "Because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The .hand of .our God is upon all them that seek hirn, for good." -Such an undertaking always has God's favor and help. "But his power and his wrath is against all them that for- sake hirn."-He need not fear the rob- bers on the way,or any other hos- tile attack, while his God was. with him. • "So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us." -Ezra was not alone in his prayers. He had infused his purpose and spirit into his company. He was a true leader of men. MIDDLE SCHOOL EXAMINA- TIONS, WROXETER CON- TINUATION SCHOOL lst, 2nd, and 3rd -Honors, C-cretl- it (50 to 59%).
