EZRA'S RETURN FROM BABYLONEzra 8:15-36.

Golden Text—The hand of our GodIs upon all them that seek Him forgood. Ezra 8:22. . ' . . ' ' • ' - • » .

Ezra Is one of the great charactersIn Jewish history. It was Jie who resurrected, as one might say, the law

countless millions In every land andevery time worship and adore^Hlm.He has filled the universe with" holi-ness and truth, and when, the earthshalM&ve' run its course, He will ap-pear in majesty and power to Judgethe living and the dead.

How do we know this? We know itbecause all humanity, waiting through

claimed It We know It because thesaints and prophets of the chosen peo-ple again and again asserted It anddied to maintain it We know It be-cause it Is acclaimed by the countlessmyriads of children of that universaland eternal Kingdom, the Church,who— toVff-and— serve-Him— lit- sorrow-ind affliction, for whom His Divinitys the light and glory and Joy andtope of their lives, and who would

sacrifice all they have, even to theast drop of their blood, that Hiselgn might be extended wider .and

Nothing false could have de-filed the lips of such a teacher.

It Is needless to advert to the factthat -at the present time there IB anespecial need of insisting upon theteaching of this doctrine of theDivinity of Christ, for all over theworld.lt Is mocked at or ignored, withthe consequence of a widespread andappalling apostasy from Christianity,of which it Is the basic truth. Mil-lions of people in our own countryand elsewhere have never even heardthe doctrinal and moral teachings ofChrist, or if they have it Is only toflout them; families are constructedon principles that are not only in an-tagonism with but in defiance of the.commonest Christian ethics ; govern-ments In the main are frankly paganIn tftelr principles, their purposes, andtheir methods; and the upper classes,like Dives, think only of filling theirstorehouses' and of faring sumptuous-ly, while Lazarus" is. rotting at theirdoors.

earlier books of the Bible and editedand rewrote them, and that we oweit to him that we have true copies ofthese old books, for Ezra was a scribe(a professional writer and lawyer) aswell as a priest. - ; .,

However that may be, it was pri-marily his; enthusiasm that Inspiredthe Jews with the reverence for thelaw when afterward degenerated intoa fanaticism for the observance of theInterpretations put upon,minute de-tails of the law by.famous teachers—a fanaticism which made attention totrivial observapces the supremeobligation of religion and lost sightaltogether ot the higher obligations ofthe law. It was this fanaticism whichJesus rebuked so sternly In His con-.roversles with the Pharisees. ' Ezra

was not in any way responsible, how-ever, for this perversion of the lawof Moses. He was loyal to the lawas given b y Moses. - . ' . . ;

permission to take a company of Jews;p Jerusalem but also an'order on.he governors of Palestine to supplyilm with what he needed for the ser-

permitted JtP collect all he could getothers before starting. So lie

was able to take with him an Im-mense , amount of treasure.

The distance he had -to travel isestimated at 900 miles, assuming that30 went by the easiest route, whichwas not a straight route; the straightroute being across a desert.

Ezra had the grace to acknowledgeafterward that he owed the successfulcompletion of his Journey to the good-ness of God.

Don't let children wear their out-door dressed . in the. house, nothingspoils them more; see that theychange as soon as-'they come in froma walk, as systematically as theychange their dirty boots' for houseshoes.

By tho time Grant had succeeded Inturning his mustang round, ho wasabout a hundred foot behind Old Redand about twlco that distance behindpoor, frightened llttlo Hank, who wasrunning and yelling frantically.

As he forged ahead .past tho charg-ing bull Q'rant pulled his stiff-neckedmount over aa close to Old Red's side-as ho could got him; then, as he cameopposite tho stubbed horns, ho leanedover and grabbed for the rope.

For SurroRate,—Albert C. Abbott.For. Coroners,—Albert E. James, George B. Stoddard.

To the Farmers and Housewives of New Jersey: 'There seems to have^beeu a deliberate enemy effort in this State to

circulate rumors to the effect that the Government would seize alThome-canned supplies in excess of one hundred quarts.

All such statements' are PALSB. • '.The Government does not intend to interfere IN ANY WAY with

home products or home supplies of any sort. What yo.u^have raised•on your land is yours. What you have canned is yours. The

Federal Food Law gives the Government no authority to take it awayfrom you7. - f , ,:' . ". ''

The more food you provide for the needs of your family;, withoutbuying it from stocks of food produced by others, the more there willbe left to be shipped to our Allies. •

Signed:' JAMES F. FIELDER,New Jersey Federal Food Administrator.

Next Monday, the local committee will startViarhouse-to-housecanvas of.every home in Hammonton,—not to deprive;aiiy of necessaryfood,—but to secure the co-operation of .e^ery housewife in the savingof food—preparing only enough for the meal, leaving-nothing to dumpnto the garbage pail. , Meatless or, wheatless days ma^'be adopted..

.We hope that all housewives will do their bit, and sign the cards,which will be hung in their window,—showing themselves in sympathywith the administration. . ' • \

When a statement is made iii these colutnns which, unintentionally,njures the reputation of anyone, we are more than, glad to rectify it.

A year or more ago,-we publislied an article, copied from the county,japers, in regard to the.arrest of one Charles Houck, a! member of our>and, charged with assault, with intent to kill. After spending three

nidnths in jail, Judge Sbinu dismissed the case on Monday, finding himnnocent on two counts for assault and battery,' and two for assault withntent to kill. '.

Yes, it bits us nil,—but we must do our bit^. The war. taxes willhit us on every side, beginning next Thursday. .

It looked very much, for a few days this week, nrf though peoplewould have to drink their coffee unsweetened, cat sugarless candy andce cream,—using salt or ouiontt for flavoring instead. Merchants had

been unable to renew their stock of this necessary article, and manyflour bins were also empty. Fortunately, the situation was relieved,hough householders are advised to be careful and not wante any.

That waa some rain, Tuesday night.

IN THE HOLLOW

HE fierce January windshook the little frameschoolhouse on the Da-

, The children sittingnearest the cannon-ball stove in themiddle of the room were nearly suf-focated' by the heat, but those on thenorth side were almost frozen. Everyfew minutes the teacher looked anr-

if he did not return on time his fath-er would start out to look forjilnvand might get lost and freeze to death.

At two o'clock the teacher dared•wait no longer. Tapping her bell,she dismissed school, and when shehad helped the younger children Intothe wraps, opened the door. A smoth-ering cloud of snow as fine as flourand as sharp and cutting,as so muchnand nearly swept her from her fc.et.The "big, blizzard" of January 12,1881, was on.

She shut tho door with difficulty.Tho smaller children began to cry,and the larger ones looked vory sober.Tho prospect of passing a night, per-haps two or, three nights, In tho llttlofrontier «ciiooliiouso wan not In-viting, Thoy made it pllo' of ihoremnants of food In tliolr dinnerpalls—a pitifully small ntock of foodto last through a BIOKO or storm—and sat down to wait,

The children hurried Into theirwraps and plied Into the box. Thebottom was covered.deep with strawand blankets, and there were two buf-falo robes.

H«-could not see a foot ahead of thoteam; Indeed, half of the time he couldnot see their heads; only the hard-packed road Just In front of tho pungtold him where ho was.

For a while all went well. Scom-ng to realize the danger of getting

off the track, the horuua -stuck to theirask with a will. . But suddenly the

Only too well she knew their peril.-EromJntancy she bad-hcard-tho gruc-some tales of frozen men—dead some-times a few yards from their, owndoors—lost on their own acres.

Twisting the lines round his arms,Warren thrust his hands deep into hispockets, bent his head to the wind,and with the pole of the pung prod-ding him in the back whenever beJaBKCiLJar_ftiiJinatant_hegan_hja-no:famous march.

at one's ease.uch-telephone-rooms are frequently *

built into riew houses, but where suchconditions are not to be had, the tele-phone box or apparatus may often beconcealed in some way and the receiver,attached to a cord of reasonable length,may be placed1 upon a.small atand ortable, with a chair or a stool conven-iently near. The telephone directory canhang at one side and upon the tablethere may be a notebook or pad andpencil for recording telephone numbers,or for writing messages.

Of course, any ordinary table orstand will serve In this way, but the.table that is especially made to hold, atelephone and the directory Is, unques- ,tionably more comfortable and con-.venlent. These are made the properheight, .so that^the fixture holding themouth' piece can rest upon the table ata height that dispenses with the neces-sity of bending over to talk through itor of. making It necessary to raise it > 'from tlio table and hold It during pne'sconversation. . , . .

At the back edge of the table therets a low railing to prevent the fixture'from being pushed off onto the floor, onaccident that often happens on on un-protected table.

Just below the top surface of the tele-phone table Is a shelf, made sufOcishtlyvdeep to hold a telephone book. This isan added convenience, as the directoryts. necessarily, large and cumbersomeand having been consulted Is, usually,in the way, especially when one Is re-cording u message.
