THE MINISTRY OF ISAIAH
Sunday, April 7. ---Isaiah !i: 1-13;
7: 1-17; 20: 1-0; 3S: 1-32.
Golden Text.
Then said I, Here am I; send me.
(Ise. 6:8.)
For six moth's we are to study
"Prophetic Teaching and Leadership
of Judiah." It is a striking fact that
the appearance of a prophet, in the
history of Israel and Judah, always
means that God had some contro-
versy with His people. Prophets
are God's spokesmen. Sometimes
they %predicted future events, some-
thnes they gave needed spiritual
and moral truth for the present mo-
ment. But always, when they were
truly God's prophets, they delivered
the message of God in the very word,
of God to His people. trod sent
them, and inspired them, in order to
warn His people of their sins and to
bring them back to God and right-
eousness if this were possible.
The six months' course takes us
from Isaiah to the exile and captivi-
ty of Judah, and then on into exile
experiences, and finally the restora-
tion of Judah to her own land again.
It is one of the most momentous
epochs in history. Seven outstand-
ing (prophets, or Jewish leaders, come
before us for study in the six months:
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,
Ezra, Nehemiah, Malachi. Ia addi-
tion to these a godly King appears,
Hezekiah, and a true high priest,
Hilkiah, under the boy Ring Josiah.
The time covered by the six months'
lessons is something over three and
one-half centuries, from B. C. 760
to 397.
Three of the lessons are from Is-
aiah. Note the following from the
Scofield Reference Bible: "Isaiah is
justly accounted the chief of the
writing prophets. He has the more
comprehensive testimony. and is di.-
tinetively the prophet of redemption.
Nowhere else in the Echiptures writ-
ten under the law have we so clear
a view of grace, . , Messiah in His
person and sufferings, and the bless-
ing of the Gentiles through Him, ar,:
in full vision."
Four great events are recorded in
this week's lesson: Isaiah's vision
and comnlisson; the great sten end
prophecy of the virgin birth of
Christ; an object -les: on-proi he "" of
God's judgment on two great heathen
nations; the miraculous heeling of a
Ring of Judah.
Isaiah "saw the Lord." Other
great men of Bible history haveeseen
the Lord, and repeatedly the effect
is the same; they are stricken down
by the vision, terrified, and over-
whelmingly conscious of their sin.
Isaiah's vision showed hint the Lord
on a throne, high and lifted up, as
heavenly beings cried, "Holy, hbly,
holy, is the Lord of hosts; the Whole
earth is full of His glory."
God's perfect and overwhelming
holiness had one instant effect upon
Isaiah—and we triust renlembor that
'Isaiah was probably a man whose
life was righteous far beyond most
:nen. But ht cried "Woe is me, for I
gut uu,iviie ; because I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst
of a 'people of unclean lips." We
never know the real meaning of our
sin until we have seen the Lord.
Tiwre fo'aowod God's e1eans'ng of
Isaiah by a live coal of fire from the
altar : his 1!:s were cleared, "and
thine iniquity is taken away, and thy
4. _ nrrr:d." We cannot be cleansed
of our sin until we have been con-
victed of it and have confessed it.
God then seeks for some one to
send to his people, and Isaiah an-
swers, "Here am I ; send nme." He
receives God's divine commission to
tell Judah of her sin and pronounce
God's corning judgment upon the na-
tion, yet not the utter aestruction of
the people.
A. new conception of God ; a new
conviction of sin ;,a new cleansing
from sin ; a new commission from
God ; these were Isaiah's experiences,
and these must be our own if we
are to let God use es as he would.
Some sixteen years later Isaiah is
given a message to Ahaz, King of
Judah, whose capital, Jereusalem was
threatened by enemies. He was as-
sured by the profit that the attack on
Jereusalem should fail. Then came
one of the greatest "signs" and pro-
phecies in the entire bible. More than
seven centuries before the birth of
Christ this prophet Isaiah declared:
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bare a son, and shall eaU His name
shall be Immanuel." If one has any
doubt as to the unique inspiration of
the Bible,. and its divine infaliibilty,
this passage should clear away such
doubt forever. The Hebrew word
here translated "virgin" means virgin
and not a young woman as some dis-
tructive critics of the word have tried
to show. Professor Robert Dick Wil-
son of Princeton, one of the greatest
linguists of modern times, has settled
this conclusively.
Almost thirty years tater Isaiah
was told by God to walk naked and
barefoot before the people as a pro-
phetic sign that Egypt, and Ethiopia
were to be taken captive, naked and
barefoot, by the King of Assyria.
God's prophecies, dealt not only with
His own people 1,rael and Judah, but
with hmathen nations in relation to
Ilis ,people.
Four years later the Ring of Ju-
dah, IIezekiah, lay sick unto dr'ath.
lie• plcadrrd with God foe his recov-
ery. God sent l.eainh to him with the
message : "Thus saith the Lord, the
God of David thy father, I have heard
thy prayers. I have seen thy tears :
behold, I will add unto thy days fil"
tern years; And I will deliver thee
end this city out of the hand of the
King of Assyria."
The shadow of the sun dial was
actually turned backwards ten de-
gree., as a miracle sign of this div-
inely promised healing. "Is anything
foo hard foie the Lord?" (Gen. 18 ;
14),

MUSKRAT IS A
FINE FELLOW
HIRE'S BACKBONE OF OUR FUR
INDUSTRY IN THESE
DAYS OF' 1929
The fur industry, on which was
based the original settling of great
territories in our country, :s as 101-
•portant to -day as it ever was. We
have progressed beyond the stage of
bartering furs to fill our daily tobac-
co pouch, the turnover in fur -trading
places it among the 15 or 20 greatest
industries in the land.
More fur coats are worn now than
ever before. The better heating of
our buildings has made heavy cloth-
ing indoors less essential, and e
warmer wrap is necessary when out-
side. That which was a luxury a few
years ago is now a necessity.
This new demand, coming at e
time when our wild animals have
been driven back to their last stand
by advancing settlement, necessitates
bringing the fur -bearing animals un-
der cultivation. The fox farms that
are now common throughout the
country are evidence of what has al-
ready. ,been done. The individual
pelts of these animals are sufficient-
ly valuable to make such farming
profitable. Other animals farmed
in this way include the raccoon, mink,
beaver and lynx.
MUSKRAT IS KING
But nowadays most of our furs do
not come from these expensive fur -
bearing animals. The lowly musk-
rat, once despised, is destined to
supply our future furs. While plenty
of pelts from Large animals were
available the trapper had no time to
give to the small muskrat skins,
which he could sell for perhaps 15
or 20 cents. This field of endeavor
was left for the farm boy atter
school hours, who might fill his poc-
kets with candy on Saturday by his
sales to the town merchant. But as
the price rose, reaching the neigh-
borhood of $10 a pelt in 1919-20,
later to become fairly stabilized at
about $2, these pelts were worth
while. The furriers found them
more desirable than they had sup-
posed, as they were easily dyed and
made to imitate very closely the
more expensive furs, Such furs are
sold under a great variety of trade
names ending with "seal" or "mink".
But even at $2 a spelt it is 'not
profitable to raise and feed musk-
rats in houses. The solution of the
problem, however, is not difficult
The muskrat is an aquatic animal,
and its natural habitat is the waste
revamp lands which are totally un-
suited for any agrioultural purpose.

Canadian Poultry
For The Orient
The judging rof poultry has during �
the past years been changing from
colour markings and form to actual
performances in laying eggs. The
Canadian Record of performance is
giving Canadian poultry raisers in all
parts of the world. For sines the
World's Poultry Congress was held in
Canada in 1927, the =ports of fine ,
poultry, have been increasing. Not
only breeding stock but hatching eggs
have been going forward over long
distances. Japan took considerable
stock last year and it is reported by
the Poultry Division of the Live Stock
Branch of the Department of Agri-
culture at Ottawa) that the hatchings
from eggs sent to Japan were well
over fifty per cent. Already this
year some three thousand hatching
eggs have gone to that country. One
shipment in the month of February
carried one thousand hatching eggs
far the Japanese Experimental Farms
system and twenty mature White
Leghorn fowls for a private Japanese
breeder. The birds consisted' of five
