D.D., T»ach»r of Enillah Blblo in th, Moody Biblo lulltutfc us Chlcafo ) ($. 1924a Wnt*n Ntwtpaper Union ) Lesson for June 15 THE RETURN AND THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Ezra 1:1-11; S 8-5.21. GOLDEN TEXT—“Comfort yr. comfort ye my people, ealtb your God." — lea. 40:1. PRIMARY TOPlC—Building a Houee for God. JUNIOR TOPIC—Love for Gode House. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Rebunldlng of the Temple. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Significance of the Return. I. The Return From Captivity Predicted (Jer. 29:10-14). It seems that false prophets were flourishing In Babylon, telling the people that they would speedily be restored to their own land. To counteract this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send a letter to the captives In Babylon (Jer. 29:1-9). In this letter he advised them to settle down and quietly pursue their regular callings of life and not to be led astray by false prophets. I. The Length of the Captivity (v. 10). Their coming back was to be "after seventy years.” From Daniel 9:2 It Is clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company was taken captive among which Daniel was found. 11. The Prediction of Captl~Qy Fulfilled (Ezra 1:1-11). 1. The Proclamation of Cmis (vv. 1-4). This was not by accident, but that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled (v. 1). God never forgets. What He lias promised He will do. It was by divine Initiation —the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus. In his proclamation he ordered that all who desired should go back and build the house of the Lord God. and those who lacked this Inclination should lend assistance by making gifts of sliver, gold and beasts. 2. The Response to Cyrus' Proclamation (vv. 5,6). The company which returned was largely made up of representatives of Judah and Betyamin. 3. Royal Favors (vv. 7-11). Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed In the house of his gods. Thia, no doubt, greatly encouraged the Jews, for there were 5.4UU vessels returned. 111. Ths Temple Rebuilt (Ezra 3:86:15). 1. The Foundation Laid. This was an auspicious occasion and was celebrated with Impressive ceremonies. (1) The priests in their apparel (v. 10). The priests* garments symbolized their consecration to the Lord's service. (2) The priests with trumpets (v, 10). These trumpets were made of silver and were used in culling the people together . (3) The Levltes with symbols (v. 10). These were to furnish the Instrumental music of the sanctuary. In accordance with the arrangements made by David (I tTiron. 15:10-21). (4) They sang together by course (v. 11). This means that they sang to one another responsively. The one company sang. ’The Lord is good ” The other responded. "For his mercy endureth forever.” (5) Mingled weeping nnd shouting (vv. 12, 13). Some of the older men, who had seen tlie magnlfi<*ent and glorious temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed, wept much when they saw how far short the present foundations came from the former temple. 2 The Building Hindered (Ezra 4). The leading adversaries were the Samaritans, a mongrel people, the offspring of the poor Jews who were left In Palestine and the foreign people who were sent Into Palestine after the Jews were taken captive. (1) An unintelligent pessimism (Ezra 3:13). Vnder the circumstances this was a glorious beginning and gave promise of great things for the future. Therefore It was no credit to the priests. Invites and chief of the fathers to mar thia occasion with their weeping (2) Worldly compromise (Ezra 4:2. 3). They said, "Let us build with y<m. for we seek your God.” This Is Satan's must common and effective method today. (3) Open opposition by the world (Esra 4:4-24). When refused a part In the work open oppoaltlon was resorted to. 3. The Temple Finished (Ezra 3:1-0; f 1.13). Through the ministry of the Prophets Haggat nnd Zechariah the people were encouraged to resume the work of building the temple. IV. The Temple Dedicated (Ezra « JO-22). The isrople were united In this building program and came together upon Its completion and solemnly dedicated it to God.

The Reading Clerk read as is usual. upon such occasions, the 15th j Chapter of Acts. This Is taken as | authority for holding such conferences and the matter which was presented for consideration. It also sets an example for the church today as to a line of action and procedure. The usual rules of procedure were read and adopted as the rules for this meeting. J. E. Miller was appointed time keeper. E. R Fisher and L. E. Rowman were named tellers. The first matter of attention was the recognition of Eastern Colorado

the clown. The clown is one cog in , the circus organization that defies all efforts to prune out the unnecessary, because the clown lias been a part of the circus since the early days of the wagon show. And he will remain in his niche, regardless of what the future holds in store for the circus. Clowns interest every class of dr- , cus patrons. True, they tickle the "kiddles” first and Impress them lastingly, but the grown-ups are unable to siipress a smile when the “funny > crew” In chalk white and fancy weird dress, parade around the arena, stop- , ping only long enough to stage a com--1 ic bit of business. The John Robinson management j claims that its young regiment of clowns offer all that is good in the ? SICKLY, PEEVISH CHILDKEN i Children suffering from intestinal worms 3 ara cross, restless and unhealthy. There are other symptoms, however. If the " child is pale, has dark rings under the '• eyes, bad breath nnd takes no interest in play, it is almost a certainty that worms r are eating awny its vitality. The surest remedy for worms is White’s Cream VertniB fuge. It is positive destruction to the t worms but harmless to the child. Price 35c. Sold by t | Holthouse Drug Co.
