A group of the members of the Lewis and Clark chapter of the Del phians and also several of the Gar den club members were at Omaha Saturday where they were entertain ed at a very pleasant meeting of the Omaha Garden club federation and also at an art glass showing at the Hotel Chieftain at Council Bluffs.

A very profitable study in this lee son are the persons connected,"" "thV prophecies, the fulfilment and the purposes of God, the times and places. The letter Jeremiah wrote to the Jews in exile (Chap. 29) must be studied in this conection, it throws a flood of light upon conditions in Babylon, among the Jews. There were men who told them that they would soon return to their old home. Jeremiah tell3 them to settle down for a long stay; to build houses and dwell in them, also make and plant gardens, get married, raise families, live peace able with their captors . . . "for thus saieth the Lord, that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you. and perform my good word towards you, in causing you to return to this place." (Jer. 29:10). He was writing from Jerusalem. The "good word" is found in Chap. 32:42. (Ploase read). li'.is prophet piay3 a great part in the history of Judah. Why was Jere miah allowed to stay in Jerusalem? Largely because he worked incessant ly with his people to submit to the rule of Nebucadnezzar; this was known to their captors. With this prediction of TO years in captivity, was given to these sorrowful exiles the assurance that their capitviiy would not be permanent. But the purpose of God was not so much a punishment as a schooling to bring them back to God. And the text would seem to indicate that the return to!of those that Vient ,nto eaptivity re I'aiestinc wcuiu be preceaea uy a change or heart. Ezra here introduces Cyrus, King of Persia. He was the son of Can byses, a Persian Xoble and of Man dane, daughter of Astyages, King of the Mede.s. His conquests brought under the dominion of the Medo-Persians the largest empire over which one man had ever ruled. Cyrus cap tured Babylon 53S B. C. and became master of the Eabylonian empire. The time had come that the prophesies of Jeremiah and Daniel should be ful filled. "Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, King of Persia." How can this be explained, when this man was a! for many years. heathen and worshipped his own J When Jesus comes into the heart, God? Josephus states that the devine there is a song of praise and joy and will respec ting the Jews was made j gladness. Wc do not believe in still known to Cyrus by the prophecies of i born children.

NOTICE Three Spotted Poland Boars out of prize winning blood. See Leonard Keim, one mile south of Walton. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. who was a believer in many gods, "Xebo" and "Merodach" (found on monuments) should speak in such ex alted terms of the God oflhe 'Jews. It is probable that 'he "himself "knew of the prophecies of Jeremiah, who spoke of Jehovah as infinitely super ior to any God, a God of omnipotent power, of boundless sovereignty. His mission was described in Isaiah (44: 24-23; 45:1-13). It may be that these prophecies were shown to Cyrus or reported to him. This is more probable than that Jehovah spoke di rectly to this heathen king. The decree was for all the Jews to return, if they wanted to, all their neighbors were asked to help them in any way they could, with silver, gold, goods, beasts and a freewill of fering for the temple; and 5400 ves sels taken by Xebucadnezzar 70 years before, were restored to them. So preparations are made for the return. Many friendships were formed and business connections; they all came to an end, and one morning early a great treck started south, 42.3G0 Jews, servants and maids 7,337, and a choir of 200 singers, 736 horse3, 245 mules,. 6,720 asses (Ezra 2:64 67). Many hardships had to be en dured on the journey; a safe return was guaranteed them by letters from the King to all the governors through whose domain they would pass. The feelings and emotions after they got home are described in Ps. 12 6. It seemed almost too good to be true, that they were once more in their own beloved country. Very few turned, for in 70 years children had grown old. So it was a new genera tion that came back. When God re leases a soul from the shackles of sin, out of the prison house of sin and sorrow, he fills the heart with gladnes3 and song3 of praise. It should be remembered that sing ing in the Bible springs from a con sciousness of being redeemed and saved from danger and destruction. Even the heathen people round about recognized the marvel of Israel's de liverance. Wc have not seen or heard the song cf joy and gladness of those who profes3 that their sin3 were for given and their iniquity blotted out Soul ... who forgiveth all thine in iquities." "Praise ye the Lord, Sing unto the Lord a new song." "Praise yc the Lord; for it is .good to sing praises unto our God." We believe in innovation in religion. O happy day . . . when Jesus washed my sins away. jlle taught me to live, rejoicing every day. EDUCATION WEEK The Plattsmouth schools have been observing Education Week which ex tends from Xovember 11 to 15. The high school opened the observance with an address by Mrs. Frank Baker, state regent of the D. A. R. Monday afternoon at 3:30. Mrs Baker spoke on the patriotic theme and developed a very interesting talk on good Am ericanism She was introduced by Mrs George Mann The Central building will observe Education Week Thursday afternoon by inviting in the parents of that ward to visit the school and all its departments There is to be no spe cial program but each teacher will give a demonstration of the work that is being carried on in her room. This affords the parents an oppor tunity to see the classrom in its actual setting and to get first-hand information of the techniques that the teachers are using in instruction. Thi3 demonstration is open to the public from the hours of 2:30 to 3:30. The high school will observe the week by an electrical program in the high school assembly Friday. Other building3 are not making any special preparations for the par ents but are doing their regular class room work. Their visiting day will be held later in the year. This being educational week we wish to call the attention of the peo ple to the schools. The following are a few extracts that express the views of the American people through the school systems: The American School. The next time you pass a school pause a mom ent to think what that school means to humanity. Recall the long dark centuries when the masses were kept in ignorance when greed and op pression ruled the world with an iron hand. From the very beginning of man's struggle for know ledge, self- respect, and the recognition of his in alienable rfghts, the school has been his greatest ally. We refer to the school as "common" because it be longs to us all; it is ourselves work ing together In the education of our children. But it is a" most uncom mon Institution. It is relatively new. It is democracy s greatest gift to civilization. Thruout tho world, among upward struggling peoples, wherever parents share in the aspir ations of their children, the American common school Is helfig copied. Let us cherish and Jmprove our schools. There are greater undeveloped markets in the underprivileged half of the American population than there are overseas. Let us promote by improving the schools. The School of Democracy. The free common school is America's greatest gift to humanity. It belongs to the heritage of intelligent and respon sible citizenship established by our pioneering forefathers. It is neces sary to the success of our republic. The school is the surest guarantee of our personal rights. It is the safe guard of our political liberties. It is the bulwark of our representative in stitutions. The school seeks to en rich and ennoble Lome life. It de velops the skills needed in ag'icul- ture and industry. It helps to awaken ambition and to establish character. It emphasizes responsibility to the common good and the general wel fare. The free school is the expres sion of a mighty faith. Because we believe in ourselves, in democracy, and in the future, we seek thru the schools to improve the quality of our lives. The American Ccmocratic ideal is government of the per.ple, by the peo ple, and for the pconle. To achieve this ideal requires intelligence, in tegrity, initiative, an1 courage. Our schools seek to establish and main tain these virtues. Let us dedicate ourselves anew to the ideal of free education for every man, woman, and child. UNITE ON TRADE EXPANSION Washington. A "complete agree ment on the objective" of increased trade between the United states and Canada was announced in a joint statement by President Roosevelt and Prime .Vinisler Mackenzie King.

There is complete agreement on the objective of a greatly Increased flow of trade for the benefit of both countries and substantial progress has been made toward thi3 end. It is recognized that such an increase would be bene ficially felt in all activity, because trade is but another word for in creased employment, transportation, and consumption."
