Lesson Passage. -Ezra 3:8-13, 6: 14, 15. _ Golden Text.-Isa. 40:1. With the first deportation of the Jews to Babylon, 18,000 of them, mighty men of valour, went to swell the army of the conqueror and to fill up his cities. On the second invasion of Judea its existence as a distinct nation was destroyed and all the peo- ple, but some of the peasants were removed and settled along the banks of the Chelbar river and here they lived in exile for seventZ years. During these years some of them found favor at Court as Daniel and his three companions, others prosper- ed, learning in time the habits and 9r +f e Oak business ways o their neighbors, but the greater nuihber were in poor cir- cumstances, being under the power of their captgrs. They had no temple where tl}ey could worship Jehovah in their own way, and when they sat by the rivers of Babylon they wept when they remembered Zion and hung their harps upon the willows for "how could they sing the Lord's song in a strange land? In spite of all this they were sustained by the hope of some day retaining to their native land: -"If I forget thee, 0 Jerusa- lem, let my right hand' forget her cunning." In the course of time Babylon, the Great, thd't had captured and deertroy- ed Jerusalem was itself made captive by Cyrus, king of Persia, who joined it to his dominions and then the time of the deliverance of the Jews was at hand. He it was of whom Isaiah prophesied 150 years before saying: "He is. my shepherd, and shall per- form all -my pleasure; even saying of Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid" (Isa. 44:28). In the first year of his•reign over Babylon the Lord stirred up the spir- it of Cyrus and he caused a voice to pass throughout all his kingdom pro- claiming liberty to the captives. This decree was also made in writing, giv- ing permission to all the Jews living in his dominions to go up to Jerusa- lem and build the temple of the Lord there. He not only gave them per- m:ssion but furnished them with what was needed for the undertaking. "All they that - were about them strengthened their hands with vessels cf silver, with gold, with goods and with beasts, and with precious things." Not all the Jews took adbantage of this opportunity to return but the chief of the fathers of Judah and Ben- jamin, and the priests and the Le- vites, with all them whose spirit God had raised to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, rose up and made preparations to re- establish themselves in • Judea. When they were ready to depart Cy- rus put into the carte of Sheshbazzar the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar' had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods. In consequence of the decree of Cyrus 42360 Jews of Babylon with 7337 slaves and much cattle set out, for the home -land. It took them® about four months and by the seventh month they were settled. Then by common consent they, as one man, went up to Jerusalem, the devastated city, where they built an altar, and observed all the set feasts as com- manded in the law of Moses. After- wards they began their preparations for the building' of the temple. Workmen had to be secured and brought from Tyre and Sidon and timber from Lebanon as in the build - ng of the temple in Solomon's day. Verses &13.-A -Eginning Made. As soon as the foundations were laid the priests with their trumpets and the Levites with their cymbals ed the people in praising God, ell coining heartily in the song of thanksgiving found in' Ps. 136 every verse of which ends with the refrain: `For his mercy gndureth forever." Reiiewing their 'years of activity and their recent wonderful deliver- ance, with ,their progress thus far es hey could say: Truly' God is good o Israel." They *vere differently af- ected however. The people shouted with a great si'out so that the noise was heard afar elf. The priests and he Levites, having lived in Jerusallem efore its destruction1 had retained a nowkdge of the grandeur of the first rmpple and realizing that this One ouid never resemble it in size and magn`ficenee, they . lifted tip their oices and, wept.

I have never such good' health as I have enjoyed the past six years. «'e are never without a box of Fruit- a-tives fi the house." \Vititi again on September' 27t'll, 1923, Mr...Delgaty says, "1 stand by my letter to you in 1917-I still recommend,`Fruit-a-tives'." -,- "Fruit atives" is a complete 'fruit treatment -being made of the juices $f fresh ripe fruits and tonics. 25c. and 50c. a box -6 for $2.50 - at druggists or sent postpaid by Fruit.. a-tives Limited, Ottawa. "Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which carte up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set. up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations. Be it. known now unto the king, that if this city be builded, and ,the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute and custom,, and so thou shalt en - damage t'he.,,•revenue of the kings." The king ,sent back a reply which caused the *ork to -cease for a period of at least nitre years. 6:1415. -Work Resumed. Under the advice and encourage- ment of\,tero prophets, Haggai add Zechariah, .t+he , building was begun again but again their neighbors in- terfered.: This time', however, their leaders were men of 'different type to those who had agitated against them before. TTa4 the case been as truly represented ito Ahasuerus as to Dar- ius it is quite likely that work would not have been hindered. The elders of the JeVyi when asked by whose au- thority they were building the tem- ple. Thus'. *assent by letter to Darius with the request that he would consult the records to sere whether Cyrus had really made such a decree and then to make reply as to what should be ,done in the matter. A roll was found containing the decree o Cyrus ' and therefore Darius issued another decree - forbidding any inter- ference with the work and ordering that tribute money be used to help it on; and also that everything needed for burnt offerings and meat offerings after the completion of the temple be supplied them day by day. . This he did in order that the priests might offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and his sons. To this decree Darius added a penalty on all Who should again in- terfere with the progress of`the build- ing. The work event on speedily, they being encouraged by th won derful goodness of God in inclining' the heart of the King of Persia to show them such favor. In four years' time it was completed and dedicated with joy. WORLD MISSIONS Mr. Y. Y. Tsu, Secretary of the Chinese Christian Association in the U.

(Coutrltluttd by Ontario Department of Agriculture: Termite.) The world ever clamors for some- thing new. It matters not In what sphere our lot is cast, •` the call for the production of new materials is always upon us and the man who does not progress loses the race. Per- haps many people still believe that there is room for new breeds of live stock and that Canadian breed- ers and investigators should be bend - lug every effort to produce' them. Perhaps new breeds could be pro- duced to meet certain special condi- 'tions• better than they are now met, irut the 'writer believes that greater Progress for the good of the live stock industry would surely follow a policy of fewer breeds with better breeding. For concentrated effort, for uniformity in output, for compe- tition in world markets, for most profit to the farmer and greatest sat- isfaction to the copsumer we already have too many breeds in some classes of stock. True, there is room; for all the breeds, but because we havve,wide acreage and somewhat diversified conditions is no reason why those acres should be grazed over by, and be growing feed for, anything but the most suitable breeds from the view- point of both producer and market man. The 'day of keeping a breed because our "likes" so dictate should be gone forever, and the breed, what- ever it is, should win its place only through its ability to produce, at a profit to the breeder, the highest grade product in demand by the con- sumer. In short, markets are exert- ing a greater influence than ever be- fore in breeding work and there is no doubt that such influence must continue. Fewer Breeds and Better Breeding. Keeping this in mind the progress being made in animal breeding isnot so much toward the production of More breeds -but rather toward early maturity and improved type in the breeds already in existence. If we had fewer breeds we could make more rapid progress. Indications are that certain breeds natlst gain 'the ascendancy, and these will be those which are bred to supply what the consumers want and at the same time pay 'the feeder highest returns for his effort. New breeds may come, as did the Corriedale sheep in New Zealand, to fill a special want, but 'better individuals and stronger strains in the best breeds we have is the goal of the present day breed- er in Canada. New Zealand wanted a sheep that flocked easily. They wanted -a bigger sheep than the Mer- ino with a better grade of wool than the Lincoln, so they made a dual-pur- pose breed by crossing Lincoln rams on Merino ewes and practicing care- ful selection. The production of Per- sian lamb in Canada' is another case where certain methods are followed to produce a special article. The writer has heard- that a certain Well- known professor in one of the leading United States Colleges is at present busy in the making of a tail -less breed of sheep to get around the .fi'ouble of docking; and by selection, it is said, progress is being made. The Down Br eds Becoming More Popular. So sear as sheep are concerned -breeding work is pretty largely con- fined to selection in our recognized -breeds with the idea of meeting the market: Now, that market demands the finer and medium grades of wool and the eighty-four pound lamb, and it would appear that so far as markets for mutton sheep are con- cerned the Down breeds may get the inside track. Fifty-six per cent. of a lamb carcass is leg and back. Thirty-six per cent is fronts, and 7 per cent ds flank. We are after the biggest possible percentage of leg and back, which sell for just twice as much per pound as front quarter and, eight times as much as flank. Pro- gress is only made by keeping weight and type in mind. So far as fleece is concerned the finer the quality the better. Experimental. work in flushing ewes has proved very profitable in increasing prolificacy. Relative Standing for Prolificacy. From a study of 600 yearlings in each breed mentioned, the following conclusions kre warranted:' 1. The relative standing of the breeds of mutton sheep in Canada with regard to prolificacy is: Dorset Horn, 161.6% increase; Leicester, 154%; Hampshire, 149%; Suffolk, 148.2%; Lincoln, • 144.8%; Shrop- shire, 143.6%; Southdown, 142.2%; Cheviot, 139.8%; Cotswold, 138.0% Romney Marsh, 113.9%. 2. The average increase for all breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is 144.6%. " 3. The average increase for all long wool breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is 138.5%. 4. The average increase for all Medium Wgoi breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is i48%. -Wade 'Toole, O. A. College, Guelph, Ont.

Thus'. *assent by letter to Darius with the request that he would consult the records to sere whether Cyrus had really made such a decree and then to make reply as to what should be ,done in the matter. A roll was found containing the decree o Cyrus ' and therefore Darius issued another decree - forbidding any inter- ference with the work and ordering that tribute money be used to help it on; and also that everything needed for burnt offerings and meat offerings after the completion of the temple be supplied them day by day. . This he did in order that the priests might offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and his sons. To this decree Darius added a penalty on all Who should again in- terfere with the progress of`the build- ing. The work event on speedily, they being encouraged by th won derful goodness of God in inclining' the heart of the King of Persia to show them such favor. In four years' time it was completed and dedicated with joy. WORLD MISSIONS Mr. Y. Y. Tsu, Secretary of the Chinese Christian Association in the U.

(Coutrltluttd by Ontario Department of Agriculture: Termite.) The world ever clamors for some- thing new. It matters not In what sphere our lot is cast, •` the call for the production of new materials is always upon us and the man who does not progress loses the race. Per- haps many people still believe that there is room for new breeds of live stock and that Canadian breed- ers and investigators should be bend - lug every effort to produce' them. Perhaps new breeds could be pro- duced to meet certain special condi- 'tions• better than they are now met, irut the 'writer believes that greater Progress for the good of the live stock industry would surely follow a policy of fewer breeds with better breeding. For concentrated effort, for uniformity in output, for compe- tition in world markets, for most profit to the farmer and greatest sat- isfaction to the copsumer we already have too many breeds in some classes of stock. True, there is room; for all the breeds, but because we havve,wide acreage and somewhat diversified conditions is no reason why those acres should be grazed over by, and be growing feed for, anything but the most suitable breeds from the view- point of both producer and market man. The 'day of keeping a breed because our "likes" so dictate should be gone forever, and the breed, what- ever it is, should win its place only through its ability to produce, at a profit to the breeder, the highest grade product in demand by the con- sumer. In short, markets are exert- ing a greater influence than ever be- fore in breeding work and there is no doubt that such influence must continue. Fewer Breeds and Better Breeding. Keeping this in mind the progress being made in animal breeding isnot so much toward the production of More breeds -but rather toward early maturity and improved type in the breeds already in existence. If we had fewer breeds we could make more rapid progress. Indications are that certain breeds natlst gain 'the ascendancy, and these will be those which are bred to supply what the consumers want and at the same time pay 'the feeder highest returns for his effort. New breeds may come, as did the Corriedale sheep in New Zealand, to fill a special want, but 'better individuals and stronger strains in the best breeds we have is the goal of the present day breed- er in Canada. New Zealand wanted a sheep that flocked easily. They wanted -a bigger sheep than the Mer- ino with a better grade of wool than the Lincoln, so they made a dual-pur- pose breed by crossing Lincoln rams on Merino ewes and practicing care- ful selection. The production of Per- sian lamb in Canada' is another case where certain methods are followed to produce a special article. The writer has heard- that a certain Well- known professor in one of the leading United States Colleges is at present busy in the making of a tail -less breed of sheep to get around the .fi'ouble of docking; and by selection, it is said, progress is being made. The Down Br eds Becoming More Popular. So sear as sheep are concerned -breeding work is pretty largely con- fined to selection in our recognized -breeds with the idea of meeting the market: Now, that market demands the finer and medium grades of wool and the eighty-four pound lamb, and it would appear that so far as markets for mutton sheep are con- cerned the Down breeds may get the inside track. Fifty-six per cent. of a lamb carcass is leg and back. Thirty-six per cent is fronts, and 7 per cent ds flank. We are after the biggest possible percentage of leg and back, which sell for just twice as much per pound as front quarter and, eight times as much as flank. Pro- gress is only made by keeping weight and type in mind. So far as fleece is concerned the finer the quality the better. Experimental. work in flushing ewes has proved very profitable in increasing prolificacy. Relative Standing for Prolificacy. From a study of 600 yearlings in each breed mentioned, the following conclusions kre warranted:' 1. The relative standing of the breeds of mutton sheep in Canada with regard to prolificacy is: Dorset Horn, 161.6% increase; Leicester, 154%; Hampshire, 149%; Suffolk, 148.2%; Lincoln, • 144.8%; Shrop- shire, 143.6%; Southdown, 142.2%; Cheviot, 139.8%; Cotswold, 138.0% Romney Marsh, 113.9%. 2. The average increase for all breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is 144.6%. " 3. The average increase for all long wool breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is 138.5%. 4. The average increase for all Medium Wgoi breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is i48%. -Wade 'Toole, O. A. College, Guelph, Ont.
