INTRODUCTION -me temple had been
looted o€, its treasures by the invading
Chalde..ne in 13.0, 597 (2 Kings 24:
13),
and had been totally destroyed
by fire whe they took the city of
Jet•usalem'again in B.C. 586, 2 Kings
24: 9. It was of this the prophet
wrote addressing God in prayer, "Our
holy alis' our beautiful house; where
our fathers praised thee, is burned up
with ere; and all our pleasant things
aro laid -waste" (Isa. 64: 11). And
again, in bitter lamentation:
"The Lord has discarded his own
• altar, scorned his sanctuary,
And letthe foe lay hands upon, the.
ark of the cornpaet."
Moffatt's Translation.
Most probably, it was of this tragic
loss the psalmist wrote:
"0 God, 'the heathen are come into.
thine inheritance;' thy, holy temple
have they defiled;; they have laid
' Jerusalem on heaps."
They have castfire into thy sanc-
tuary" (Psalm 79: 1; 74: 7).
Th" Jews who had been .left in the
Ing:''ley Nebuchadne"Sar had neither
wealth enough nor courage enough to
u dertake• the rebuilding.' of , their
temple., Many of them had migrated
to Egypt or other lands, . Many who
remained had mingled with, and be-
come depraved by association with the
heathen people who poured in to oc-
cupy the abandoned dwellings and
cultivated fields. . These 'built their
altars and offered their saciificee
everywhere tha,ughout the country,
reviving some of the ancient 'shrines
'' which Josiah .had destroyed, and
mingling worship of Jehovah with
that a the other gode." The mere de-
vout of the exiles had carried with
them to .'Babylon their sacred books
and memories of the great past, and
the first desire now of those who re-
turned was to tuild an altar to the
Lord and prepare for the work of
building the temple.
I. BEGINNINGS AND ADVERSARIES, Ezra
3e 1 to 4: 24.
Theseventh month, corresponding
to part of September and October in
our calendar, was probably in the year
13.C. 537. The feast of tabernacles,
which commemorated the dwelling in
the wilderness, was celebrated in this
month, which was reckoned, and is
still reckoned, as the first month of
the Jewish. year, Excel. 23: 16• Lev.
28. 33-3$; 39-44. Jeshua,.oY 'Joshua
(Zech, 3: 1), the chief priest, -and
'Lerubbabely the prince of the royal
line of David, are named together here
as leaders of the returned exiles.
First, they builded the altar of the
God of Israel. The, altar was tate es-
sential parted the sanctuary, it was
the place of sacrifice and of prayer.
They believed that by setting up God's
altar they would secure his favor and
protection against the hostile people
round about theinf'ch. 3: 3. For a de-
,seriptior} of the daily burnt -offerings
of the feast (v. 4) see Numbers 29,
For the continual burnt -offering,
offered all the year round, see Num.
28: 3ff. The new moons, or new moon
• offerings, are describel in Num. 28:
1111'. For a list of the set feasts see
Lev, 23.
The spilled craftsmen of Tyre were
employed, as in former days by Solo -
Mon, 1 Kings 5: 6-11. The timber
wasto be brought from the forests
• of Lebanon by permission of Cyrus to
whose dominions they now belonged.
It was cut in the mountains, dragged
down to the sea, rafted along the shore
to Joppi:, then dragged up on sbo road
to Jeguerlem. In the second year B.C.
536,' the.fot,ntlation of the temple was
laid-' (vs. S=10) and this. was made an
occasion of praise -an 1 rejoicing, The
song of praise (v. 11) may have been
Psalm 136. Some very old people were
present who had seen the glory of the
great temple of Solomon; and Mem-
ories brought weeping mingled with
rejoicing, Compete Haggai 2: 1-9.
The adversaries (4: 1) were the
mixed people of northern IsTael whose
origin and character are described in
2 Kings, eh. 17. They professed to
worship the God of Israel, but debased
his worship with heathen rites. There
may have been a disposition on their
;part to be friendly, but the Jews dis-
trusted them and rejected their ad -
'Venus. Hencefroth they were actively
hostile. Chapter 4 contains an account
of three oceasior,a on which they op-
ilnosed the enterprises -of the Jews. The
i first was din connection with the re-
building of the temple, eh, 4 1-5. The
second was in the beginning ,.f the
reign(B.C.85-464 •
of Ahasuerus4

Outrage Permitted
The Necessity For "A Positive
Insistence on the Elimiriae
tion of the Submarine
From the Armoury orf
War"
What a great thing it would be if
we could pereuade the nations of the
world to abandon the submarine as :a
weapon of warfare,"
The Right lion. A. V. Alexander,
First Lord of tho Admiralty:
Tho sinking ot the submarine H. 47
with its appalling lose of life is re-
sponsible tor a passionate plea by Mr.
A. It. Gardiner in the "Star." lIo
writes:•=
Aeroplanes aro a weapon of war,
but they have also added enormously
to the useful and harmless equipment
of society. 'But the submarine is un-
mitiga)ed devilry. Apart from its
uses as a weapon of war it is entirely
worthless, and if it were outlawed to
morrow there is not a single healthy
human interest whiob would 'softer
"Tee fact that'it is a sneak that
strikes in the dant, a criminal that
hits below the belt, and nowhere else,
would rob war of its last rag of :de-
cency and 'honour, if such a nag re-
imained to it. Ina this vile furtive mon-
titer, that slaye indifferently both
friend and enemy the savagery of war
touches eta basest note, and ata :exis-.
tei]ce Mean offense against the most
elementary conditions of a civilised
society. •
-
• "Why is 'this outrage - permitted
to destroy the innocent and affront
the conscience oe the world? .A11 the
nations have solemnly outlawed war.
Why cannot they give evidence of
their good /faith by outlawing this
most infamous weaponof war? It
is said that it is the only weaponof
defence available to the small nations
themselves. It is not the small na-
tions like Sweden and Norway that
are building submarines, and :it is.
common knowledge that if the mat-
ter rested with these Powers tine sub-
marine .would be banned tomorrow.
"The 'responsibility is not with
the small Powers, but with the great
Powers, the 131; Five of the Sea. And
of these, two at least, and tires al -
'mase certainly, desire its elimination.
This country made a proposal to that
effect at the Versailles 'Conference. It
made it still more formally and ur-
gently at the Washington Conference
in 1921 when it was supported by tbe
United States. Since then America
has independently, through ,its Pre-
sident, repeated the proposal. 1 think
I am right In saying that Japan Is in
Yell accord.
"With this poweeful, backing by the
two greatest Sea Powers inthe world
wby is the infamy not abolished? The
answer le that France blocks that
fought the proposal at Versailles, and
fought it still more obstinately at
Washington, on which occasion Lord
Balfour addressed to M. Briand one of
the . most impressive, warnings ever
directed against a nation in public
by a'responeib]e stateman.
4I0 was uttered in vain, and to -day,
eight years after, the competition in
submarines is proceeding as though
no League of Nations existed and no
Kellogg Pact had been signed, and
France is in this respect as predomin-
ant in Europe as she is in the air and
On land.
"It is time that this sinister fact
was faced and challenged. Tire case
ofthesubmarne is the acid test of
the armaments problem and it must
be applied with candour and direct-
ness. It can be so applied with the
,utmost propriety and force. Both
Mitt county and the 'United States
have repeatedly signified their wish
to ban the submarine, and they bave
given abundant notice on the subject.
Hitherto they bane failed to act out
of consideration to the opposition of
France.
"That opposition should now be met
with a positive insistence on the elim-
ination of the submarine froor the
armoury of war. Such as insistence
wquld be endorsed by the whole moral
sense of the world and i;y the over-
whelming vote of the non -naval na-
tions, If resisted, the issue should be
carried to the League of Nations.
Nothing but good would result,
•

'France and Italy would either
have to yield to the public opinion of
the world or they would be gibbeted
as the protagonists of a weapon that
every ,consideration of humanity and
of peaceful intention is concerned to
outlaw and abolish. • If Mr. Mac-
Donald and President Hoover; Is their
momentous meeting decide to make
the elimination of the submarine an
article of their common policy the
victory will be won."
Just at the moment when the public
has been following with painful an-
xiety the efforts—eventually abandon -
el -to salve Submarine H.47, there
has been published' a hood which en-
ables the layman to realise the dang-
ers and difficulties to be overcome
and the heroism needed for such an
undertaking. That book is' on the
bottom, by Commander Edward Ells-
berg, of the United States Navy
(Constable, I0S.)..
It tells of tate salving of the Ameri-
can submarine 5.51, which was ramm-
ed by- the S.S. City�f Rome in Sept -
either, 1925, and which sank in 135
feet of water in one of the stormieet-
sections ref the North American coast.
It was determined that no effort
should be spared to give back to the
eareaved relatives the bales of their
dead, but the task of raising the sub-
marine under such' conditions, was
se difficult that no private salvage
oomPerie could undertake It. Even-
tually ,Commander Elleberg conceived
a plan, but the Navy Department was
sceptical, and it was only after fight-
ing bard for it throughout a confer-
ence lasting e whoie night that he was
allowed to carry it out.

he is,)1e'1l wish before he gets

The story of the terrific struggle
with the elements which followed is
told in a viv d narrative which is -a
great epic of the sea. The reader
will follow with breathless interest
the details of the operations which
make it easy to visualise every opera-
tion and to understand its purpose.
Above all, it is a plea against the ih-
iquity of the submarine.
Paper Suit Favored
To 'Liberate' Men
Chicago—How men can obtain a
more comfortable form of summer at-
tire, a question that has brought Porth
advocates of everything from pajam-
as to barrels, etas another answer: It
comes from Waldemar I0aempfert,
director of the Rosenwald Industrial
Museum, lien's enslavement to faelt-
ion, says Mr. Raempfet't, will be brok-
en by paper suits, costing about to
a piece and thrown aevay.after. about
two week's wear.
"The fibers," Mr. Ifaempfert says,
"will be made of paper, and will be
spun like cotton or wool, then woven
into attractive patterns, Instead of
being sewn together, the woven
paper will be glued. A man will step
into a clothes shop, where an expert
tailor will in a few minutes drape
strips of paper about his form and
then fasten them with fish gine.
"Such a suit—unlike a paper tissue
towel—will be unaffected by rain
and hold its Bllape for at least two
weeks, after which it can be thrown
away.
"There Is no question that present
clothes are maddening. But we are
slaves of convention: Although a
thousand mon marching down to
work in pajamas would liberate us
from the present style tyranny, it is
impossible to find a thousand such
men. The paper suit Is our only
hope,"

Radi m Coated
Hooks Lure Fish
New York Naturalist Makes
Experiment at Bermuda
New York:—Science gave fishermen
something new to play with when
word arrived from Bermuda of ane-;
cessful use there recently of radium
as a lure for deep sea fishing.
The radium was used by William
Beebe, New York naturalist, as a lum
inous coating on books attached to
sounding wires about a mile long, in
depths where no daylight exists. The
first catch was a squid, a member of
the octopus family. It was'large en-
ough to fill a fair' -sized fruit basket.
Before leaving Isere on bis expedi-'
tion Beebe said that as far as he
knows radium-Iuminous fish. hooks
never before bave been used. He
outfitted with glow -books nearly a
foot long, hoping to land some of the
powerful creatures from lightless
depths that in past expediticas have
broken out of the nets that brought
up smaller aceutific specimens. He
said that occasional presence of huge •
scales in the nets indicated the pas-
sibility of great fish.
