SCHIPTI'RM Mr* !•«; DMVOTIOWAL RIADtN'J: P»*lma IM: !•«. The Return From Exile Lcmoo lor April IS. IMS COWPERS line* come to mind a* we study the dramatic return of the Jew* from their exile in Babylon to Jerusalem in the first year of the reign of Cyru*. king of Persia, 538 B. C.t "God move* in a mysteiiou* way His wonder* to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm." And yet it is not

altogether strange, for if you will turn to Jeremiah 29:4-14, you will find a prophecy given 50 year* before the event that this very thing would occur. There were two other deportation* of the Jew* from Babylon, prior to the Incident in our

lesson—the return led by Daniel, 606 B. C.. and the one led by Ezekiel, 597 B C. • • • PBOCI AMATION OF CYKVB THE proclamation of Cyrus, Ezra 1:1-5, records the happy word to the Jews that they would not only return, but that the temple would be rebuilt Cyrus called upon all the people who would to make offerings by which the temple might be restored. Cyrus was acting under divine impulse in this gracious and generous proclamation. ‘The Lord God of heaven nath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah," said Cyrus, Ezra 1:2. Fifty thousand Jews, their hearts rejoicing at the thought of returning to the land of their father*, set out on the trek of 500 miles, laden with gifts from the Persians for the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem. They could now sing the song of the Lord, and no longer did their harps hang silently on the willow tree* • * • THE DECREE OF AKTAXEXXEB TIE fourth chapter of Ezra brings us to the halting of the work on the temple, after they had raised the magigficent sum of approximately *400.000. and had laid the foundation for the temple, with imposing ceremonies, This delay was occasioned by the jealousy of the Samaritans, who went to Artaxerxes, through employed counsel, and convinced turn that it would be dangerous to ah low these Jews to rebuild Jerusalem At first, the Samaritans proposed that the Jews let them use the temple in Joint worship, but the Jews reared the Samaritans and refused their offer ft was then that the Samaritans effected the delay in the building of the temple by the space of 14 year* Mean while, the Jew* went forward with the building of their home* and re establishing themselves end their civilization in Jerusalem • • • STICKING TO ONE'S PURPOSE AV e come now to the part Hag- ’’ gal played In summoning the Jew* to their duty and obligation to God to restore the temple It wa* in the second year of the reign of Darius that Haggai received the word of the Lord. "Is it time tor you. O ye, to dwell In your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts. Consider your ways " ft was enough The people rallied to the eall of Haggal. and the temple was completed Mm can always do what they ought to do, if they will to do It • • • GOO’S PIRPOSF FULFILLED THE message of Haggai wa* > heeded The temple wa* completed. Ezra 5:13-11. and God’* purpose wa* fulfilled Read Psalm 136 This bring* us to the golden text: "No man. having put hi* hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom at God.” Luke •:« When once the returned exile* felt the iron of God's purpose surging through their vein*, they quitted themeeive* like men. and God's power wa* everywhere manifest So may it ever be with us! • • • 'Co?r<i«*< b* «a* laswaeoosai CeuaeS) at BU jtos*« • wßrXetweaj As We Achieve The degree of success which we achieve in making effective our Christian education program in the US* of *i» generation etif) determine wttefter future generation* srifl be oMe to enjoy • society free tram the distrust at religious intolerance, the Vndictivene** of race prejudice, and *o Mtteroeos of elas* hatred.— Water W.

Magidoff aald hit company headquarters had ordered him to return to the United State* Immediately A previous plan for him to establish European television headquarters in Berlin was abandoned. Moscow newspapers published a oneparagraph notice that the foreign ministry had ordered Magidoff to leave. U. 8. Ambassador W. Bedell Smith denied Soviet charges that Magidoff sent uncensored news stories through diplomatic, pouches. He also denied charges by a Russian citizen that Magidoff. National Broadcasting company correspondent, had received documents or instructions through the American embassy in Moscow. A copy of the ambassador's statement, released io correspondents here, was dispatched to Washington "During the more than two years I have been in Moscow." Smith said, "no correspondents have ever sent news stories through the diplomatic pouch Nor would thia be permitted." * A lengthy letter from Americanborn Cecilia Nelson. Magidoff * former secretary, which was printed by the government organ ■ 1 Izvestia, accused him of spying. I

"I tilled with Magidoff this i morning." said, and con- 1 firmed the fa«e that the docu- I ments and instructions' referred to in Miss Nelson* letter came < through the regular Soviet mails " Smith said that the news item* asked for “quite obviously" were • the type which "the United Stales and most other countries" consid- I ered news. "They were given special news i paper publicity." he added. *• i matter* on which the public WBB ■ entitled to Information." The ambassador said Magidoff had informed him that the allega-! 1 tions made by Mis* Nelson were entirely false. "I can confirm the fact that they are entirely false." he added. , "insofar as they relate to AmeriI can embassy personnel."
