Improved Uniform International Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D D.. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ((c). 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 21 EZEKIEL’S VISION OF HOPE LESSON TEXT—Ezekiel 47c1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—Of the increase ot his government and peace there shall be no end. PRIMARY TOPIC —Ezekiel s Message of Hope. JUNIOR TOPlC—Ezekiels Message of Hope. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—WiII the Right Finally Win? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Cure for the World's Ills. Ezekiel’s final vision, chapters 40 to 4S, exhibits a comprehensive view of the restored order when the Messiah shall hold sway over the whole earth. Our lesson for today is but a small part of this vision. It can be understood only in the light of the whole. The following outstanding facts should be noted: 1. The restored temple (chs. 40-42). 2. The return of Jehovah, (ch. 43). In chapter 11 the Lord is seen taking His departure. In chapter 43 He is seen returning. 3. The arrangement of the services of the temple (chs. 44-46). 4. The river flowing from the tem pie (47:1-12). 5. The land apportioned among the people (47:13-48:29). 6. The holy city (48:30 35). In the attempted interpretation of this vision, some five different views are held. The one preferred by the present writer is that it is a prediction of the remple which shall he erected in Messianic times. The literal view prevents wild speculation and at the same time permits the full est figurative application. In fact, the Holy Spirit gives the interpretation of the waters flowing from the smitten rock (I Cor. 10:4) in such away as to leave no doubt as to its meaning. The river flowing forth from the sanctuary typifies the river of life, the salvation of Christ flowing forth to the world. Observe: I. The River’s Source (vv. 1,2). It flows forth from the house —the restored temple where God has come to dwell. It flows from the divine presence. This flowing of the waters is miraculous. So is the eternal life which proceeds from Calvary’s cross. Because Christ is divine. His shed blood has power to give life. It is to be noted that the stream came byway of the altar (v. 1), showing that eternal life for the world proceeds from God byway of the cross. Perhaps the deepest mystery of life is how life can spring out of death. Despite its mystery, the student of the Holy Scriptures and of physical science knows that life out of death is the philosophy of the universe. “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone.” 11. The Deepening River (vv. 3-5). The deepening at?d enlarging is without any tributaries. For the first quarter mile the depth was to the ankles. By the time it had reached one-half mile it was to the knees. Till the distance of three-fourths mile was reached it was to the waist, and at the end of the first mile it was too deep to ford—“waters to swim in.” The spiritual truth to be derived from this figure is that the life and salvation which have flowed forth from Calvary made vital by the Holy Spirit, have widened and deepened j through the centuries and dispensations. This is especially true of the individual who yields himself to the Holy Spirit. 111. The Healing Effect of the Waters (w. 6-21). There is life in the progress of this river. “Everything shall live whith er the river cometh” (v. 9). It flows from the altar toward the east coun try down into the desert and into the Dead sea. “The region of the Dead sea which has been the embodiment of barrenness and desolation, in the coming day is to he changed into a scene of life and fruitfulness.”—Gray. 1. Trees on the banks of the river (vv. 7,8). Just as vegetation flourishes near the river, so wherever Christ’s salvation is witnessed to in the energy of the Holy Ghost, life comes. This has been true throughout the centuries of 1 church history. The details of fruitfulness are enumerated in verse 12. 2. Everything in the waters shall live (v. 9). Wherever the stream flows, there shall be life. 3. The waters of the Dead sea shall be healed (v. 10). Fishers shall gather from the Dead sea even as from the Mediterranean. The gospel brings life to those in trespasses and sin. The world is dead and therefore in need of the life-giving stream from Calvary. — No Indolence in Heaven The notion that ardent, loving, eag- | er spirits should be required to spend i eternity in a sort of lazy contentment, forbidden to stir a finger for love and truth and right, is surely an insupportable one I What would be the joy of heaven to a soul full of energy and love, forced to drowse through the ages in epicurean ease? If heaven has any meaning at all, it must satisfy our best and most active inspirations; and a paradise of utter and eternal indolence would be pur- j gatory or hell to all noble natures. Science and Faith Lord Kelvin’s estimate of the age of the earth at around a hundred million years did not seem to him or to the church to be in conflict with the first chapters of Genesis. He said: “I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied the further does it take ns from anything comparable to atheism.” And again: “If you think strongly enough, you will be forced by science to the belief in God. which is the foundation of all religion. You will find it not antagonistic but helpful to religion.”

diatribes from the pulpits of this day? Though silk is not supposed to have been known to the Greeks until the Fifth century A. D„ Gisela M. A. Richter of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Is inclined to think that the suppressed females of classic Greece knew silk, and its beautifying advantages and transparencies long before. Linen and wool were the common fabrics worn on that luminous penin sula, but classical literature contains many references to thin, highly ex pensive garments called Amorgian tunics. Miss Richter declared recent'y in a report to the Archeological Institute of America. They are thought to have been made of especially fine linen from the island of Amorgos, a rockj bit of lamk in the Aegean, with, however, only a few tiny valleys fertile enough for the cultivation of flax; hardly enough, according to Miss Richter, to support an import ant in dustry of even a high priced article Supporting her theory by research among ancient Greek and Latin writers she has established a hypothesis that the Im voc-ereat ing Amorgian tunics were made ot wild silk introduced from the East, where it was known from the earliest times The name Amoi ian (a specific word for silk n[>p<arliig in Greek onK after the Roman era) she accounts for by the fait that the Island was a convenient station on the trade route from the east via the Persian gulf. Babylon and 'lyre.

Plan to Protect Infant Clams

Prof. Max Ellis, Missouri physi ologist and United States bureau of fisheries investigator, hopes to provide the pearl button industry with new and valuable pearl clam shells, as well as an ample supply of the ordinary varieties. The first two or three weeks of a clam’s life, by far the hardest in its career, will be made secure by bis process which provides an ample supply of food.
