INTRODUCTION—Jeremiah lived in the latter part of the seventh century B.C., a little more than a 'hundred years after Isaiah. The date of his call to be a prophet is given in chap. 1: 1—the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, which would be B.C. 620. His work continued until after the fall of Jerusalem and the end of the kingdom of Judah in B.C. 586, cover- ing more than forty years. Like Isaiah, he lived in a period of great and tragic unrest and change. Isaiah saw the rapid rise and expansion of the Assyrian empire, first of the great Military powers whic:z sought to rule the world. He saw the downfall of the kingdom of Israel and the exile of the multitudes of its people in B.C. '721. Jeremiah witnessed he rise of Babylon; the second world empire, the decline and fall of Assyria, and the end of the kingdom of Judah in cap- tivity and exile in B.C. 580. With their uncompromising belief in the su- premacy of the God of Isra i whose purposes of good were being cease- lessly worked out in and through these changes in human affairs, and with their zeal for righteousness, justice, and clean living, they may truly, with their fellow prophets be said to have been raised up for such times as these. It is due to then, as true servants of God, that Israels religion survived the nations wreck and the rise and fall of empires, and is a part of our rich in- heritance of faith» The message of the prophets is vital for the present day. I. THE CALL OF GOD, Jeremiah 1: 1-10. The first three verses of this chap- ter give the date and historical setting of the remarkable story'which follows The times were unsettled and there were portents°of coming stor.i The great loose-jointed . Assyrian empire eras showing signs of weakness The Chaldeans from the south, the Cedes from the east; the Scythian hordes from the north were all pressing in upon the territories which Assyria had ruled for more than a hundred years. It is not Judah only which the young prophet has in mind when he hears the call of, God to high service, but the nations and the kingdoms. It is not surprising that he remembers his youth and distrusts his own pow- ers. But with the call there comes the assurance of civine aid—"Be not afraid . - . for I am with thee." His mission is to be destructive of what- ever has proved itself evil inthe na- tions, and to build and to plant what is good. Strength and steadfast cour- age will be given for his difficult and heroic task—he will be made "a de- fenced city, and an iron pillar, and I risen walls." It is so in all genuine religious ex= perience. The response to Gods' call to service is certain to be followed somehow by the comforting and en- couraging assurance of his presence. But the servant of God may have his hours of doubt 'lid darkness is Jere- miah had. Exceedingly sensitive to the hostility which his.messages some- times aroused and to the unbelief with which they were often received he was tempted to question and to doubt, as in 15: 10-11, 15-18; 20: 7-10. But the memory of these first great promises remained with him and enabled him to overcome the temptation and to con- tinue with heroic steadfastness and courage upon his difficult way, 15: 19-21; 20: 11. • repentant people, a people who have "loved to wander." It seems for the moment as if prayer is useless, vs, 11, 12, • The false prophets have given false encouragement; they have aroused hopes that Jeremiah is sure will not be realized. Both here (vs, 13-18) and in chap, 23, he denounces these men who "prophesy lies" in God's name, "a lying ision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart." Such prophets are not sent of God. In contrast one cannot•but recognize and honor the transparent sincerity of Jeremiah, true messenger of God's anger and true lover of his afflicted people, vs. 17-18. Again lie pleads with God for healing and for mercy, and that he will do for his people of Judah that which none of the vain idols of the heathen can do—send rain upon the dried-up corn fields and pastures. For, he prays, "Art thou not he, 0 Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things."

Every Pattern II. TRUE AND FALSE PROPHETS, 14:7-22. There has been a severe drought and the whole country is in mourning. The cisterns and the wells are dry. Both rich and poor are suffering, both wild and domesticated beasts. The prophet regards this calamity as a sign of God's wrath because of the in- iquities of the people. He 'becomes their intercessor, praying to God on their behalf. First he pleads that the -Lord will work deliverance for his • own "name's sake," to •vindicate his own honor, while at the same time, he admits the people's guilt. God is sure- ly not a stranger who does not card Nor is he as a strong man stunned with the magnitude of a calamity which he is unable to resist or pre- vent. He is Isrders God, "the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble. We are called by "'hy name," Jeremiah pleads ;."leave us not." But his pray- er receives no comforting answer be- cause of the waywardness of an un - z ie, i' 13y Matte Ana Best Article 6—A Synopsis If any persons interested in reduc- ing have not kept up with the former articles they might start right in now in this performance of reducing.

Get weighed every week on the same scale. The principle involved, so as not to suffer hunger pangs, is this—eat quantities of low caloried foods, eat sparingly of high caloried foods, but eat some of all of the foods. Your body needs them to keep well. This can be done by learning the food values of all the foods, then count your calories until you are nor- mal.

A soft chamois leather wrung out in clear water to wash the dirt off, followed by brisk polishing with a soft cloth, is the fa- vorite method. A rag moistened with methylated spirit shortens the labor when windows are very grimy. Paraf- fin does the work almost as quickly, and will keep off flies% Crumbled newspaper may be used to give a finishing gloss, and will save the washing of rags and leather. When windows are steamy, try rubbing thein after they are cleaned, with a cloth upon which a few drops of glycerine have been sprinkled. Fiuish with a dry cloth and a brilliant gloss that re- sists dampness will be the result. It is also well to remember that win- dow frames need constant cleaning. Sooty particles that settle on the framework can be removed with a clean, dry cloth, preferably flannel. At least once a week the dusting should be followed by a thorough cleansing with soap and water. boiled or poached.
