INTRODUOTION—The Bible freely
and fully recognizes the duty men owe
to their Yellows, From the beginning,
the human 'race was 'set families,,
Out of the family ,grew the family
group, ' the clan; the tribe, and, m
course of, time, the nation, In many
a Bible. story, end rnany a law, and
custom, is seen the duty of father and
mother, of son and daughter, 0f bro-
ther and sister, of kinsman and neigh-
bor, of inaste • and "servant, of ruler

veteran law -giver; the captain, the
just judge, the lcing, the prophet, the
builder of templs , and forts, the
maker of music and of song, the wise
teacher, the skilful artisan;. and ',the.
preoche- of the, gospel. The Bible,
reaches its highest point of interest
and of value 'in the life and teaching
of Jesus, who sought, not his own good
but ; always the ,good of others, who
"came not to be ministered unto,' but
to minister."..

The familiar story of : the •Luild]ng
of the wall of Jerusalem under the
resourceful leadership of Nehemiah
never loses its interest. Beset- by
powerful and broacher us enemies, the
builders were constautlyon the alert,
that they might not be taken by sur-
prise. Half of them, "wrought in the
work," Nehemiah tells us, in his me
moirs of those 'anxibus•'days, andthe
other half "held both .the spears, the
shields and the bows." The rulers
shared the labor andthedanger. Be-
side, the governbr, Nehemia. steed,
'his trumpeter ready to 'so.r,d the in-
stant alarm if the enemy should be
seen approaching. The whole presents
a scene of orderly, courageous and
loyal activity ane co-operation in ren-
dering a patriotic service of high
value; indeed, a service necessary at
that time for the very existence of the
little Jewish community.

Feistll's Ambitions at

control of the 'Kingdom of Irak is
clearly the Implication of a report for-
warded by the Colonial. Office to the
mandates commission of the League
of Nations, just,.inade public hero, and
there is inferential confirmation of
this in a responsiblo'quarter.
The British report status baldly and
without Oat/neat/on the reasons wby`
Icing Feisul and all sections of opin-
ion in Irak desire to. see the British
mandate terminated. No compensat-'
ing reasons are adduced by the Col-
onial office as to why the British
should remain in Bagdad and continue
garrisoning: the country against the
wish of the inhabitants,
British ,support will be given to
halt's request for membership' in the
League of Nations this year. Such
membership would automatically ter-
minate the British mandate.
Irak's appeal for membership in the
:League was refused last year„by the
Conservative Government, `largely for.
the reason that a similar Request by
Egypt had been turned down, and it
was felt thatto support Irak's league
membership, while denying Egypt's,
would- enrage •Egyptian. nationalists.
For the same reaeon the Egyptian de-
mand for. Independence could not be
refused if Great Britain at the same
time was preparing to clear out of
Irak.
This situation has been changed by
the recently drafted Anglo-17gyptian
treaty, still to be ratined, and for
these and other reasons it seemp'clear
that Labor has decided to bring the
expensive adventure in Mesopotamia
to an end and clear out.
It is generally thought here that the
British will retain Rasta, with troops
stationed there. as a protection for
Anglo -Persian. oil fields and pipe lines.

12: 28-34; Rom, 15: 1-7; Col.
3: 12; 4: 1; James 2: 14-17.
Fox parallels to the first of these
'passages, see Matt. 22: 34-40 and Luke
10:'25-28. One of the scribes came to
jests with a question. It was during
the week in which he was arrested and
crucified, The shadow of his great
sacrifice ,was already dark upon his
path. On Monday and,,T'aesday of
that week he was in the temple and
was meeting many adversaries who
'were stirred to activity, by his tri-
umphal entry into the city on Palm
Sunday, 'and .his' rebuke of the dies
helmet traffic in the temple courts on
the fallowing day. The Jewish scribe,
or lawyer, was apparently not un-
friendly (y. 28), but, as Matthew pats
it, was "tempting him,” that is, trying
him with a further question to see
whetheror not he could really trust
and honor him to Is teacher.
• Jest's' answer goes directly to the
heart of the matter. Love is the high-
est law, love to Goch and to one's fel-
low men. The passage first quoted is
in Heat, 5: 4, 5. For the second, see
- Lev'. 19: 18, 34. Both were well known
to the Jews. The first was repeated
daily y devout Jews. Jesus puts the
two Together and makes them,insep-
arable. The supreme passion of the
soul is love to God, springing out of
the revelation of his great love 4. us.
And this love of God binds us to him
in inseparable union (Rom. 8: 35-39),
and becomes the law pf our life, gov-
erningan conduct and all relations
with ose about us. See further.Rotn.
18: 8-10; Gal, 5: 14; James 2: 8.
In o story st ry as toId in Lt :e 10: 25-
28, Jesus said to the scribe, "This do
and thou shalt lava" Evidently,, to
obey the law of lave was, in the mind
of Jesus, true living. So said the
famous missionary to the Moslems,'
Raymond Lull, "He who loves net lives
not; and he who lives by she life (of
love) can never die." •
In Romans 15: i-7 we have a fine
exhortation to unselfish living. The
strong should bear the iutirmities of
the weak. Life is nut to be found
just in pleasing ourselves, To,,,seek
to give pleasure to others is to follow
the example of our Master, Jesus
Christ, He sougl•t ho life of pleasure
or repose. He might very well nave
applied to himself the language of
Psalm 69; 9 (see v. 4), "To be like
minded-onetoward another according
to•Christ Jesus" is surely the prayer
of all true Christians. Moffatt ren-
ders is. 5 an 6, "May the God who
inspires stedfastt,oss and encourage-

cap • which now covers an area of 700
square miles, with a maximum depth
of 3000 feet between Frobislter's Bay
and Hudson Strait, long sought by na-
tura' scientists, was recounted by
Lieutenant Commander Donald B.
MacMillan, on his return from his sim-
mer's arctic trip on the schooner Row-
doin. The cap was estimated to have
at one time extended over 4,000,000
square Miles,
Commander MacMillan said this
was believed to. be the last of - the
ice caps of the Pleistocene period,
which covered all of New England, ex-
cept the tip of what is now Mt. Wash-
ington, to a depth of 5000 feet, over
a period of 35,000 years. He said
the ice cap actually consisted of two
caps, c ne of approximately 400 square
tulles'- and the other of 300 square
miles.. Four glaciers were discharg-
ing from itssinto the bay, all flowing
north.
