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. Report' is Spread J,1 twitain Prepares To Abandon Irak Government Believed to Con- • template :Surrendering Mandate to Leagne EGYPTIAN EXAMPLE Support May Be Given King Feistll's Ambitions at Geneva London.—That ' the Labor Govern- ment'lias decided to relinquish British 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. IL,LVWS O1 LOVE AND xINPNCS$,.Mark 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- ment grant you such harmony with one another, after Christ Jesus, that you may unite in a chorue es: praise . and glory to the God and Father of our T,otd Jesus Christ," And verse, 7, "Welcome one another, then, •hs Christ has welcomed' yourselves."

Unemployment is world-vvide. It is a sign that either we are dissipat- ing capital already created, or else we are failing to reate sufficient new capi- tal. In England, we do both. The un- productive expenditiu'e of all classes forms an initial check on the creation of new capital.

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.
