TIME-Kzcklol was carried Into cxlll
J3. C. 97, In tho second deportation by
Ncliucliudnczzar from Jerusalem J when
10,000 were carried to Babylon with Kins
Jeholachln.
Tho profiteer of this lesson was written
D. C. 602, nvo years later.
Tho first 21 chapters of Kzcklel, concern
Inir tho destruction of Jerusulem wer
written during the 4 yearS C92-6SS. D. C.
&S8 was the beginning of tho last slego of
Jerusalem which ended In Its completo
destruction.
PLACI-Tho Book of Kzoklel was writ
ten nt Tcl-nhlb ( Cnrnhlll) on tho river
Chebar, one of the largo Irrigating canals
of Babylonia, running across tho plain
between tho Kuphratea nnd tho Tigris.
Ezcklel'a name means "God
strengthens." He was a priest, the
son of nuzi, probably a family name.
Ho was ah,o one of tho Rreateat ol
tho prophets. He was probably 30
years old when he began to prophesy
in H. C. COT, which would put tho date
of his birth In Jostah's reign, about
tho tlmo Jeremiah began to prophesy,
and five years before Josiah'a great
reformation and tho finding of tho
book of tho law.
Ho wns n married man; and tho
sudden death of his wife was mado by
dlvlno Instruction a lesson to tho peo
ple. Ho went on with his work "with
n broken heart, but an unbroken pur
poso." Ho wns a man of power nnd
cournge, holding his fnco as adamant
against wrong, but nttrnctivo and per
Buaslvo In encouraging tho jieoplo tc
prepare for their return from exile.
Ho wns n man of great imagination,
using simile, allegory, parables in ac
tion, symbols, symbolic actions. H
saw visions, and dreamed dreams
Ho had spiritual experiences, nut he
was nlso tho most practical of men.
Flzekiel's model heroes wero Noah.
Job, Daniel. They all had lost theii
world, but "Noah inaugurated a new
world; Job ended by seeing God in
tho whirlwind." Daniel did great
things for his native country in his
new country. Ezeklol was" nn exllo,
but In that exilo was a mighty force
In tbo renewal of his native land.
The God of Israel was an invisible
God, without any representation tc
tho senses. It was hnrd for the peo
plo to reallzo his existence and hit
prosencc. It is hard for us, but mucfc
harder for them. Tho temple and iti
ritual wero an aid. God's works in
nature were bis manifestation. The
visible effects of obedience, and dis
obedience, wero revelations of God'a
nature. But times of trial nnd dis
aster at first hid his face from them
as storm clouds hide the sun.
Henco in this dam period Ezekiel
was taught to express God's presence,
power, glory, goodness, providence, by
apocalyptic symbols, 1. c., by symbols
which expressed ideas, but could not
be put into any pictorial form which
might lepd to idolatry. The first
chapter is a vision to these symbols,
to make God real to tho people; as
to Job God made himself known in
the whirlwind nnd the storm.
Nothing is moro sultablo than that
tho voice of God should coruo from
the whirlwind. For nir, wind, is one
of tho chosen symbols of God working
through bis holy spirit, as at Pente
cost. It is invisible, as are the great
natural forces of tho earth.
The prophet wan presented with a
Hebrew roll, tho form in which their
books wero made, and was bidden to
eat it. Tho roll represented tho word
of God, his messago to Israel. The
prophet's eating tho roll meant thnt
ho wob to become so saturated with
God's messago that It would bocomo
a part of his very being. This gives
us "somo guldanco In forming a prop
er estimate of what is involved in In
spiration. Tho prophet is to absorb
'into himself what is given him from
above, and then give it out with bis
own lips and in bis own language.
"It was in my mouth as honey for
sweetness," that is it was good in it
self. Dut afterwards it becamo bitter,
for it was a terrible messago to glvo
to hlu people, so thnt God mado his
face as adamant harder than flint, for
nil tho house of Israel were impudent
nnd hard-hearted.
Ezekiel welcomed tho wntchman on
the walls. Ho went from franco to
nctlon, coming out of tho trance, llko
Peter on tho housotop when ho went
down to tho messengers of Cornelius.
"And I went in blttorness ... of
my spirit," sharing with God his
righteous indignation against Israel,
or the bitterness of having to deliver
such nn awful message as ho uttered
in tho following chapters, to his
.friends nnd neighbors and country
men. fto that when he camo to them,
he remained thero astonished, in a
stupor of grief, seven days.
Tho watchman's duty is clearly set
forth. He must warn tho people ol
.their danger, as by tho voice of God.
jWhllo his business was to warn, tho
results were with God and the free
will ho has given his children. '
God warns us in love in various
,ways that wo may not go heedlessly
on to our ruin. He gives warnings in
our bodies, by sicknesses, pains and
weakness, againBt courses that will
ruin tho body, and to teach us to pre
pare for death. God gives warnings
to tho soul, by tbo pangs of con
science, by troubles and afflictions, to
keep us from losing our souls. He
warns our country, by discontent, in
ternal commotions, by strikes, out
breaks, anarchies, war, against the
oppressions, Inequalities, luxury, lrre-
Hsrton, injustice, which will bring flnabJ
ruin unless we turn from them.

HANDY ANTI-KICKING DEVICE
Cow's Leg Strapped to Strong Stick

Being Milked.

DAIRY RECORDS ARE UP:FUL
They Serve as Tab on Milkers and
Make Excellent Barometer of
Cow's Condition,
(By J. BAU.I2Y BUUCK.)
Accurate records of each cow's milk
yield enables us to weed out the herd
and retain only tho money-makers.
Tbey serve as a tab on the milkers.
If the cows arc not milked clean the
fact Is discovered. Poor milking by
hired help is discouraged and the dry
ing off from Imperfect milking re
duced to n minimum.
Tho cow's dally record is an excel
lent barometer of her physical condi
tion. Derangements are moro quickly
discovered and checked and better
methods of feeding arc encouraged.
Hoth owners nnd help are stimu
lated to Increaso tho product and It
educntcs them in the matter of dairy
economy.
They Induce better business in the
management of the business. A place
where business methods have been too
long Ignored.
They serve as an excellent guide in
selecting heifers that are to be raised
to replace the cows we annually dis
card from the herd.

The Silo for Dairymen.
This Is the tlmo ot year when the
dalrymnn or dairy farmer who owns n
silo -likes to tnlk about sllago. Good
sllago comes as near being Juno pas
turo in January as any feed with
which the dairyman is familiar. Its
succulent or juicy nature especially
Ills it for stimulating tho milk flow
and keeping tho cow in vigorous
health. Probably tho most Important
rulo In the profitable dairy Is to keep
tho cow's milk flowing as freely ns pos
slblo after tbo flow has once been
started by parturition or calf-birth. To
do this demands right feeding and
good caro. Silage is also necessary to
right feeding. Sllago Is a cheap feed
to cut up and 'valuable to use. It is
grown on tho farm. This fact Is ot
Importance in this day of hlgb-prlccd
mill feeds.
Clean Milk.
A maker or certified milk, and head
of a company which owns 800 cows,
'kept for this purpose at a sanitary
milk producing' plant, asserts that
every dairyman can get clenn milk in
any barn if he takes proper care. This
statement should provo Interesting to
thoso who lay so much stress on
changes In the barn equipment, rather
than upon tho ono all important Item
of caro.

Her weight was 880 pounds nt the

"I consulted our physician and
