Ebed tnelec h, a despised colored servant, wax a man ot characte" showing unusual mercy and courage in being a helper to Jeremiah, the prophet Here again we have the lesson of the high value attached to a common man. V.7 "Now when Ebediuelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which wax in the king* house, .heard that they bad put Jeremiah into the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin:" Ebed-melech was quick to hear truth* by which a great prophet might be made free: the last of the king* of Israel, a weak vascillating ruler, wa* in power. VS. Ebed melech went forth out of the king's house and xpake to the king, saying.” When the slave heard the truth regarding the imprisonment of Jeremiah, he wax determined to do Homething alx>ut it. When we see and know wrongs anywhere. e*|>ecfally touching the work of God. we ought to do something about it. One can not: tell the results of action liecause lexultx are always with God. it I* uur part to act. V. 9. ".My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophe*. whom they have cast into the dungeon and he I* like to die for hunger in the place where he is; for there is no more bread in the city." Here was a brave proposal. The real cause of Jeremiah s imprison inent was the determination of men in authority, whom Ebed-melech called evil men. to put to death the prophet. Jeremiah, because he prophesied what did not please them. Ebed-melech had the courage to risk his life for doing all he could for Jeremiah V 10. "Then the king command- I ed E >ed iiieh-r h the Ethiopian saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out ot the dungeon before he dies." Right is stronger than wrong; the yielded to the truth. V.ll. "So Ebedmelech took the men with him and went into the house el the king under the treasury. and took then old cast clouts I layer unto thee, because thou hast but thy trust in me. *aitb the laird ” The secret of a victorious OUP PRUCHtt/> I There are’two contending force* In the mind of individual* which <-an be stated in the two propositions.

and old rotten rags, and let them 1 I down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah." Rags and worn-out ger : inent* often constitute the only thing we have to offer In God'* I service Our poor abilities used In God's service will prove noble and effective. V. 12. "And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, "Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords, and Jeremiah did so." Ebed-melech had compassion and forethought In that be would rescue the prophet with a* little discomfort as possible, the rags to be arranged under his arms Here is the lesson of cooperation, the thirty men. Ebedmelech all working together. Instead of competition and clashes between peo pie* and nation. God's plan Is that of co-operation: that is brotherhood V. 13. "So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him out of the dungeon; and Jeremlam remained in the court of the prison." Ebedmelech won out beyond his anticicipation as Jeremiah was given a safe place In the court of the prison where he was protected by the king s guards snd where he might have visitor* and continue hl* work of preaching V 15. "Now the word ot the Ixrrd came to Jeremiah, while l*p was shut up In the court of the prison, xaying." God often speaks to his children when they are hard pressed; it is then that, man is at his best and God can help only those who live at their best. V 16. "Go and speak to Ebed molerh the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith* the l-ord ot hosts the God of Israel; Behold. I will bring my words upon this city tor evil, and not for good: and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee " Here wm a mark of special honor for a prophecy or blessing to I be directed by God to this man. God pronounced judgement on sinning Israel; judgment ot man ie God’s part, proclaiming the truth !< man's part. V 17 “But I will deliver thee in 1 that day, xaith the lx>rd; and thou xhalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid ' Trtily God is no respector ot person* This man with his heathen nationality, his negro countenance and his humiliated state I* selected for deliverance in the general destruction because in him is found the right spiritual conditions. V.lB. "For I will surely deliver thee, and thou *hau!t not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be al life is in the word*. "Thou hast put' thy trust in me."

Problem "Rivalry with Russia is a new problem for us. but we had better make up our minds that we shall be pre occupied with it for a very long time to come." Walter l.ippmann told a public meeting at the, College of William and Mary in ; Williamsburg recently. "We must, give up the notion that the choice Is between one world in which the Russians are our partners, and two worlds in which we must annihilate the Russians or they must annihilate ns," he said." I believe that the l>est policy is to recognise that the rivalry will remain, and not to expect it to disappear or to think it could be abolished by the United Nations or by a victorious war, and I having recognised that the rivalry I is a permanent fact to use our' whole power ot influence to regs-' late it, to keep it within bounds, to establish spheres of influence which limit the rivalry, and a balance of power in the world which checks it.

Church . .on-attendance, a Denial of Christ. Peter s denial of Christ has its counterpart In many today Some one has said. "We deny our Ix>rd when we fail to conform our lives to his ideals and principles, we deny him when we disregard his explicit commandments." -We deny him when we neglect I - XVi t U isdom m The emptiness of popularity Halford E. Luccock tells the following story relating to Mark Twain: "Mark Twain's little daughter Susie once put a question to her father which quite unconsciously was a profound observation on life. Mark Twain with his family wax making what proved to be a triumphal tour of Europe. All the rulers invited him to dine with them Once, on receiving an invfta tion from the Emperor of Germany, little Susie said to her father. You will soon know everybody except God. won't you daddy?”* H -,y>£ Ideals Aa you think you travel; and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thought* will take you. You cannot escape the results of your thoughts, but you can eudure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realise the vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, be it base or beautiful or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate tuwafds that which you, secretly, most love. In your hands will be placed the exact results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts,, your wisdom, your Ideal. You will . become a* small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration." — James Allan. * DOYOUKNOW? - * 1. Who made the golden calf and who destroyed it? 2.
