"Ezra's Mission to Jerusalem"
Ezra 7:6-10; S:21-23, 31. 32.
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

made by every enlightened economic

produced thru curtailing production,
whether in agriculture or industry.
The true abundant life can be sup

been judicially interpreted over a
period of forty-five years, on the one
hand, and new legislation of the type
of the national industrial recovery
act, which purported to grant limit
ed exemptions from the anti-trust
laws, we unhesitatingly choose the
anti-trust laws,"
