GOLDEN TEXT.—And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into . pruning- ?hoohs; nation shall not lift up :word against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Mic. 4:3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—During the reign es Hezekiah, probably between 726 .and 701 B.C. Place.—Micah's ministry was entirely within the territory of Judah, and for the most part in the city of Jerusalem. This lesson is especially inter- esting because the people around whom this whole chapter gathers are the most talked -of, the most hated, people presenting the most difficult problems of all the races in the world today. No one has suffered in modern times as the Jews have suffered, at the hands of other nations; and here is not ,only a prophecy of such suffer- ing, but a passage of wonderful hope, promising a time when these sufferings will be over, and a per- iod when these people will come hack to God and have a kingdom, in which joy and peace will abound. The name Micah was not an uncommon one among the He- brews; it means "Who is like Je- hovah?" Micah was a simple countryman, been of obscure par- entage in an otherwise unknown village. Micah, as his prophecy shows, was in closest touch and sympathy with the class of yeo- men whose wrongs he so graph- ically describes. Promise of the Kingdom In the first three chapters, Micah's chief moral denunciations, are reserved for the wealthy nob- les and worldly priests — the greedy aristocrats who coveted fields and houses and took thein by force, who oppressed widows and broke up happy hones. Com- mercialism and materialism were easeaelaeasaaeassaaeweeeesaeaaaseeeessasse of the ethical and the spiritual. - in Jerusalem. At sueh a crisis Mi- - cab. appeared, and attempted to tall the nation back to God and to duty. 4: 1. But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the moun- tain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. 2. And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem: 3. and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concern- ing strong nations far off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning -hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neith- 3t shall they learn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig - tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah i hosts hath spoken it. The mountain of the house of Jehovah is the temple mountain, Moriah, here considered as part of Zion. Zion is the source of the law and :cord of the Lord, from which the .rations draw instruction how to val1c in the ways •ef God, to :make il. their own, take it to their homes, and walk according to it, Every Man Under God 5. For all the peoples walk ev- sry one in the name of his god; end we will walk in the name of :reltovalt our God for ever and ever. A man's god is what rules his practical life; it is that which shapes and orders our fires, Far- :3aeTmore, the worshipper will re- semble his god in character. 'Everywhere around u: the people are walking Every one in the name orf his god.

Science has done much for ag- ricalture, and one of the latest and greatest achievements is the discovery that certain organic compounds of mercury will coin trol these seed -borne diseases without injuey to the seed itself when applied in the small doses . prescribed. Indeed, by destroying the fungi the treatment improve; the germinating vigour of the seed and consequently increases yield:.. Control Seed -Borne Diseases Years of most careful, pale - staking' research and trial reveal- ed that there is a specific organic mercury compound for each of several classes of crops. Fertu'r ately, a little goes a long way, so the cost of treatment is trifling. only a few cents an acre. - The seeds of cereals, for instance, are treated 'effectively with the ethyl mercury phosphate dust at the rate of only one-half ounce per bushel, and the seed grain may be treated from 24 hours to three months before planting, as nine be convenient. For seed corn there is another organic mercury dust and a di f- ferent one for- veegtable seeds, --. while -for potatoes a wet dip treat- ment is used. For the control at seeding "damping -off" a dilute solution of the organic mercury specific for vegetables may be prepared and applied to the soil with a waterline can or in a finer spray.
