One of the outstanding characters in Hebrew history is Ezra, of priest ly ancestry, one of the "intellec tuals" of his time, of a deep, pious nature, for he "had his heart set to seek the law of Jehovah," not only to know it "but to do it," practic ing what he preached. Our lesson study will reveal to us L his devotion to God and his cause as well as his great concern for his people's welfare and undaunted faith i in God. The Jews were led into captivity at different times, so also was their return accomplished at three differ ent times, namely the first return under Zerubbabel (53S B. C); sec ond, the number returned under Ezra, eighty years later (458 B. C.) and third those who came under the leadership of Neheiniah (445 B. C). Ezra's deep concern for his people caused him to go from Jerusalem to Babylon and there beseech King Ar taxerxes to allow the Jews, which re quest was granted; and in a very gracious way the King not only gave his consent for the evacuation of the captive Jews, but gave orders to the governors through whose provinces these people were to pass, to give them all the aid needed. Ail the Jews who were "willing" to go numbered 4 2,3 60. Their friends and neighbors wore invited to donate anything they would for the comfort of the returning people, and also for the treasury of the temple, and so they carried away with them the worth cf the silver talents in our money. $1,202,500; the silver ves sels, $185,000; 100 talents of gold, $3,370,000. altogether about $4,762, 500. A large sum indeed, and taken at a groat risk. The greatness of this undertaking is apparent, when we consider the great number of people with their flocks and beasts of burden, and the long way to go (DOO miles), and it is worthy of note that they accomp lished the journey in about four months, making about eight mile3 a day. To take care of the food supply, Artaxerxes had ordered in his decree to all treasurers in his domain to furnish Ezra as much as a hundred talents of silver, a hundred measures of wheat, a hundred bath3 of wine, a hundred baths of oil and salt with out measure. Who is not wondering about the great and mighty hand of God, to provide such rich and great supply through a heathen king? Let the people serve God and their wants will be supplied. Thank God! "Our Father is rich in houses and lands; he holdeth the wealth or the world i in his hands. Of rubies and dia monds, of silver and gold, his coffers are full; He has riches untold. I'm the child of a king, the child of a king! With Jesus my Saviour, I'm the child of a king." We marvel at the faith of this man of God. who refused an escort of soldiers that was offered to him. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., as second-class mail matter YOUNG COUPLE FOUND DEAD Sheridan, Wyo. The bodies of a teen-ago couple, whose parents ob jected to them keeping company, were found in an automobile, submerged in a water filled gravel pit, a bullet hole in the forehead of each. The couple, Dorothy Bethurem, 15, and Donald Eychaner, 19, had been sought since Nov. 16, when they dis apepared on the eve of the girl's de parture for the east with her mother. Coroner Schunk described the deaths as plainly murder and suicide. u. E. TO TERMINATE FUND Schnectady, N. R. General Elec tric company's $7,000,000 unemploy ment compensation system for em ployes will terminate at the end of this year. President Gerard Swope an nounced. The federal social secur ity act and state unemployment in surance system, effective Jan. 1, 1936, will replace the company's unemploy ment safeguard system. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. with all this wealth in their posses sion, saying to the king: "The hand of our God is upon them that seek him, for good, and his power and wrath against all them that forsake him." He put his faith to the test, and came safely through to Jerusa lem. "Faith is the victory that over comes the world." But the secret of Ezra's strength and courage was in his prayer-life, as seen in 7:27, 28. A never-to-be-forgotten occurrence is recorded in Chapter 8:21-23. They come in the course of their journey to the river Ahava, a fine camp and resting place. This was the time and place to prepare the people for a consecration service. "Then I pro claim a fast" abstaining from food, thus teaching us that "man lives not by bread alone." It also intensifies religious fervor in prayer, by re straint from physical appetite. In this way, he led the people back to God. That is ever in the heart of a consecrated servant of God, to bring his congregation to a realization of the Divine Presence, and he does not rest until he sees that movement Godward. This fervent prayer of Ezra should be ours today ... to "seek of God a straight way for us and our little ones." How oft do men seek to gain their goal by "crooked" ways and questionable methods in stead of by the straight and honor able way. And how often are "our little ones" neglected in our pray ers! Mothers' and fathers' prayers will follow them. . After this great feast at the "Campmeeting" by the riverside, they took up their march to Jerusa lem without intertereuce from rob bers and hold-up men. Because they were in their "Father's care," the "hand of our God was upon us and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the lier-in-wait by the way." This also poi trays life's jour ney for the child of God; he i3 safe and secure if he doe3 like Ezra and the group he was leading from cap tivity and bondage. "Through days of toil when heart doth fail. Cod will take care of you! When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you! God will take care of you." TRUST AND OBEY THERE'S NO OTHER WAY The security gives courage to go forward. "And we came to Jerusa lem. Thank God! The longest road has an end. How their heart must have beat faster when they came in sight of their beloved city! Soon the hardships of a four months' journey '.are fogotten. "And we abode there ('three days." What a joy awaits the weary pilgrim wnen ne gets home! There is rest for tho weary; "they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat." All this they experienced on the way. "Now "Their mouth is filled with laughter and their lungs with singing." "The Lord has done great things for us." Praise the Lord! U. S. Owns a Fifth of Land in Entire Nation Steps up Purchase of Acreage with Rate of Acquisition Doub ling Since July 1. Washington. The federal govern ment which already holds more than a fifth of the land in the United States, is stepping up its purchase of acreage. The rate of acquisition has doubled since July 1. Harry W. Blair, assistant attorney general who handles the government's land titles, has been passing on titles for the re settlement administration at the rate of GOO to 800 a week, in addition to ordinary government purchases. In the year ended June 30, Blair and his assistants passed on titles which brought the government 2, 830,121 acres and 1,942 additional parcels of land at a cost of $23,765, 947. Parcels are bought by lot, in stead of by acres. The government now operates an estate of 405,218,023 acres of the nation's 1.903,216,640 acre area. This "public domain" is apart from the 27,000 farms and nearly 3,000 city homes which new deal units are holding to sell, and the hundreds of thousands of acres "rent ed" from fanners to carry out the crop control program. Blair says, "The United States is now the largest landholder in North America, and one of the largest in the world." Most of the farm lanC went into forestry and experimental farming for the agricultural department. Some of it was bought as sub-marginal land to be retired from production. For subsistence homesteads, 29, 844 acres was bought at a cost ot $592,229, and 17 parcels were ac quired for $140,674. Slum clearance projects brought In 912 parcels, which cost $4, OSS, 247. The treasury, which erects post offices, customs buildings, and other federal units, bought 304 lots and tracts at a cost of $5,591,931. Of Uncle Sam's permanent estate "public land" is the bigegst item 197,261,754 acres. This includes the grazing lands and homestead areas of the west. National forests are the second largest section of thy "estate 138,710,947 acre. Indian reserva tions include an "estimated net" of 59,518,590 acres; national parks and monuments occupy 8,724,732 acres, and much other acreage is devoted to military and naval reservations DIES IN CALIFORNIA The news has been received here of the death of Mrs. Emma Garges Newland, 55, of Los Angeles, Cali fornia, a former resident of this com munity, whose many old time friends will greatly regret to learn of her passing.
