Commentary. --1, Jereiniah's ;prople
coy written and read .eve. 1.10).Jere-
miah had been exercising his prophetic
office for twenty-three years when the
Lord's command came to him in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim (v. 1) to write
in one roll all the prophecies which lie
had uttered from time to time. The
divine purpose of thie wins that they
might he read to the people of Judith
(v. 6) to constrain them to humble
themselves before the Lord, that his
judgment might be averted (v. `r) The
occasion choeeu for reading was a daffy

ing, possibly the auniversiitty of the first
captivity of Judah which had taken
place the previous year, when many
lows from a distance would be present
at Jerusalem (v. 6). The prophet him-
self, R5'obi bly through the command of
Jeholakinl, was not permitted to attend
the house of the Lord (v. 5), Bence Bar-

month of the fifth year of ,Tehoialc{m's
reign,' and the hearers were deeply mov-
ed by the prophet's words. Michaialh,
the grandson of Sha.phan, who was Joe-
iah's secretary, of (tate, hastened to
the princes of Judah to tell them of
the words that Baruch had read (v. l'=) •
The princes were not satisfied' with a
simple report, but sent for Baruch and
the 'roll that they also might he it
read. The message was of math deep
signifanee that they decided that the
king must hear it, and after satisfy-
ing themselves that Baruch had actual-
ly written it down as Jeremiah had dic-
tated it -to him, they eolumanded that

The
great 'heart of 'Goa? was displeased with
.sin,- but longed to show mercy to the
sinner. The hindrances to righteousness
were not: with him, but with the ever -
weakening nation. •Jehoia:kiirt and his
people were the more' abandoned to
yin because3 .of their persistent turning
away from their religious education and
the good example of King Josiah. They
were the more depraved for ignoring his
'precepts and pimple. Jbreuljah the,
prophet war at this time under res-
traint, forbidden by Jehoiakim to ex-
ercise his prophetic power, or even to
be present a,; the services of the temple.
Jelloiakirn was ripening fast for rain
when he thus sileneed God's faithful
messenger, As hie heart hardened in sits
there was a glowing unwillingnss to
listen to the voice of God. Jeltoiakint
and his people had been deliberately
disobeying God in spite of the warnings
of Jeremiah. Jehoiakim did not be-
come a determined rebel against Clod
all at once. He had continued to (light
and pour contempt upon the threaten-
ings of God, and thus the more ircreas-
ed his own condemnation. Ho could not

ing it. kris stns persisted in brought sor-

While they res)et'ed every call of God
to denend elm him. Twenty-three
years Jeremiah ha.d faithfully spoken

and still hi hie retirement his soul Was
burdened for his people. He still lived
Where he could get divine direction as
to duty. He wars directed to snake
known God's care to Judah on a day
when they were assembled in all butnau
weakness, yet in all Ittima•n raelf-suffi-
eiency, to observe a great fact. The ob-

Mothers, do you realize the
importance ofcaring for baby's
tender, easily irritated skin?
Neglect or unsuitable methods
may give rise to simple rashes
or tiny soles. Torturing, dis-
figuring humors follow and
threaten to become permanent.
Not only is Cuticura Soap the
purest and sweetest for baby's
bath but, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, it affords the.
speediest and most economical
method ' of clearing baby's skin
and scalp of eczemas; rashes,.
itchings and irritations, and of
establishing a permanent condi-
