Rom. 14:12. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time —.586 B.C. Place — At,'1'el-abib, at the river Chebar, ou canal on the 1ht- phrates Rive:, uear Nippur, in Bab- ylon, THE PROPHET EZEKIEL Of the matt Ezekiel himself (hia name means "God strengthens") we know very little. In Babylon he was planted with others of his own nation by the banks of one of the irrigating canals which was called Chebar. He was a married man, and the loss of his wife,in a sudden and terrible way, was made by divine instruction, a lesson to the people (24:15-27). He spent 22 years in the disebarge of his prophetic of- fice. In grandeur and variety or thought in his conception of God, only Isaiah and Moses can be com- pared with Ezekiel, WATCHMAN OVER ISRAEL Ezekiel is personally commission- ed by God to be a watchman for Israel, the Lord reminding the prophet that a true watchman is one who will blow the trumpet to warn the people when danger is imminent. Ezekiel 33:7. So thou, son of man I've set thee awatchmen unto the House of Israel, therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warelbee from me, 3. When I say unto the wieited, O wicked mac, thou shalt stireiy die, and thou dost not speak to learn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die In hia iniquity, but his blood will I re- quire at thy hand. 9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not trona his way; hs shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. 7. So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at . my mouth, and give them warning from me. 3, When I say unto the wicked, 0 wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and thou dost not speak to 'warm the wicked from This way; that wicked man shall die in his initially but his blood will I require at thy hand. 9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from le, end he turn not from his., way; he shall die in his iniuuiitvtheme= least --.bztt._Th [- lcast deifvered thy soul. Office al- ways involves responsibility, and no responsibility could be greater than that of a watchman in time of lavasion. The prophet who is oho - pen to play the part of watchman must bave his eye intent simply on the spiritual issues, seeing the coming moral calamity, in order to be able to warn the people. There Is nothing in 3♦Izekiel's ministry that appeals more directly to the Christian conscience than the ser- ious and profound sense of pastoral responsibility to which this pas- sage bears wituess. MESSAGE TO DESPAIRING• ISRAEL 10. And thou, son ot man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye Veal, gaging, Our •' transgressions and'owe 'sins are 'upon us, and we - pine away in'theine how then can we live? The people bad now come to regard their calamities as due to their sins and as evidence ot thein. il. Say unto them, As I ltve, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleas- ure in the death of the wicked, but • that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye front your evil ways; for why will ye die, 0 house of Israel? God would have Israel know that he took no pleas- ure in seeing the wicked die, and that his will was ever for men to turn to him and live. THE PAST NOT IRREVOCABLE 12. And thou, son of man, say Unto. the children ot thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day o•f hia transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness: eel - (her shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinnetlh. 13. When I say to the eighteens, that he. shall surely live, if he trust to his righteousness, and eeminit iniquity. none of his rlghi: onus deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he 'bath committed, therein shall he die. The prophet's purpose here is to teeth the general truth that the past of one's lite does not of neces- • pity det.erni.ine the future either in ttselt .' In the judgment of God. This, next to the assurance of Clod'e gracious will regarding men (v. 11) was the truth most needed to coat- . fort the people and awaken them one of the stupor which lay on thein luso a moral life and activity again. The past Is bot irrevocable, a fut- ure of possibility Hee before them, I•I'0PE1 )?OB. UINRIGHTE0T7S 14.

Around a large-scale map of the British Isles are telephonists in communication with key defence points. Re- ports of enemy planes bring quick action by the men around the table who take appropriate steps to counter the attack in their areas. which is lawful and right; 15. it the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16. None -r ?•'= sins that he bath coni milted shall be remembered ag- ainst him; he hath done that which Is lawful and right; he snail. surely live. "Lite" here is uasd in the rich sense of enjoyment of the favour of God. With regard to "righteous- ness": The bent of the character towards or away from goodness is no doubt spoken of as subject to sudden fluctuations, but for the time being each man is conceived as dominated by the one tendency or the other; and it is the bent of the whole nature towards the good that constitutes the righteousuess by which a man shall live. SCOUTING Au eighteen -year -olid Roy Scout who wants to be a neiseionary, and a bookkeeper turned clergyman, have started out on a canoeing and preaching mission down. the lower Mississippi River, among shauty- boat dwellers. They are cooking all their meals and camping out Boy Scout style.' There are Boy Scouts in much - sung -about Mandalay, in 'Upper Bur ma. One of their public service act- ivities is the regular cleaning and re -filling of animal drinking troughs and they also help iu traffic control and in looking after orphan boys. "Scouting Inas been a good thing in our community, and the fruits of the efforts of those who are ;iv• ing time And thought to the work are to be seen in the lives and con- duct of the young people who have grown up here. We hope we can continue the work." — Annual Re- port of Great -Village, N,S. Scout Group, Oysters Carry Worthless Pearls Don't expect to get rich from the pearl you find in an oys- ter, even if it hasn't already been ruined by cooking The reason you won't get rich, accoedeng to Clifford I. Josephson, president of the American Gem Society, is "be- cause no pearl of any real .worth is ever found in the North American variety of ed- ible oyster. They lack the lustre of the true gem."

These on- erations cost $8,018,249, and were conducted in .Ontario,. Quebec, British Columbia, Nova The care given to the dairy calf frcm birth to six months of age has a very definite ef- fect on its ultimate usefulness in the dairy herd. Calves worth raising, are worth special care. The practice at the Central Ex- perimental Eaten, Ottawa, states 1✓.. S. Logan, Division of Ani - teal Husbandry is to separate the calf from its Mother im- mediately and teach it to drink front a pail. •Means Later Usefulness It is essential that the new- born calf receive its mother's first milk cr colostrum for a period of six to nine days. Th's milk provides a laxative and also captains substances, which itt- hibit the development of di:; - ease germs present in the diges- tiv tract. Whole milk feeding should be continued for the first four , weeks at the rate of about one pound of •milk per 10 pounds weight of calf. Beginning at four weeks, skim milk should be gradually substituted for whole milk at the rate of a pound each day. At this change, meal rich in' fat may be intro- duced to take the place of the fat that is removed from the milk. Skim Milk, Good Scalded flaxseed meal with water added to make it the con- sistency of gruel makes an ex- cellent fat substitute. The gruel should be added to the mills when the calf is four weeks of age, allowing one-quarter cup ,per feed and increasing the am- ount egradually to a cupful per feed at two months of age. If available, skim milk may be us- eed until the calf is at least six emonths old. Where skim milk i -is,• not available, whole milk ':Saould be given for a longer ,period and gradually replaced with warm water. Cleanliness Essential At two to three weeks of age, the calves should be provided with all the good quality le- guine hay they will eat, and at three weeks, a meal mixture such as one part ground oats, two parts bran, one part corn ''distillers' grains, one part oil cake meal in small quantities. This mixture should be increas- ed gradually to a rate of two pounds per day at three months of age. Clean stalls and clean feeding utensils are positively essential in order to avoid dis- Pac+t ie .• aas,...>ve: 0 1..,ee_ • Gardening CAN START YET Even in the warmer sections of Canada it is still possible to have a splendid garden. There are plen- ty of things to plant which will ail come on. quickly. Experienced gar- deners in recent years have been liurposely holding back a portion of lettuce, spinach, carrot and otb• er vegetable seeds so that the lhar- '-'esting season may be extended dust that much longer, Early June is the ideal time in Ost., of Canada to plant seed of osehot weather things like mel- eeticnniber, medium or late corn '• ud beans. It is; not sate in man,: cis'iricts to set out celery, tomato. cabbage and pepper plants mucic sooner. There is still plenty of time to plant dahlia. gladiolus and canna bulbs or comas among the flowers NEED SUPPORT Dahlias. tomatoes, large cosmos or nicotine, young shade trees, new climbers, all benefit from some tu't• iricial support while they are get ting started. For tall individual flowers or to- matoes, 6 -foot stakes of wood or steal are advisable anti the plant is tied to these • loosely with soft tine or raffia. Stoller and whale, longer stapes will be used with the Shade trees RD d correspondingly shorter ones for he smaller flow- ers. Building permits issued in 202 municipalities in Canada during the first quarter of 1940 had a total value of $12,442,011..
