SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VII JEREMIAH DENOUNCES FALSE PROPHETS â€" Jeremiah 2J Printed Text, Jer. 23:21-32 Golden Text â€" "Prove all things; hold fast that which Is good.' 1 Thess. 5:21. THE I.KSSON IS ITS SlOTTlNCi Time â€" Uuring tlie lolgn of Js- holachin, 598 B.C. Place â€" JerusalP'!!). The twe'n;yt!\ird chajjter of Jei'- einlah [irovides us with a mirror la which we see reflected many con- ditlODS originally existing la Israel, but surely again preralllDg la our own day. In our own land are many men and wom&n who make pre tense of being mouthpieces of Gn'I. who are deluding thousands of peo- ple. Inevitably the hour comes when a false prophet Is eiposexl, when ultimately he dies, and all those that followed him not only know that tbsy have been deceived â€" but that they are indeed lost souls. A person who deals In spirit- ual truth and pretends to be what he Is not Is a terrible liar and de- ceivor. THE PROPHET JEREMIAH The prophet Jeremiah was one o; the ereiatest of all the prophets who ever appeared In Israel. He beloni;- ed to the Tillage called Anatholli, northeast of Jerusalem, and was called to the office of prophet when about twenty years of age, in the thirteenth year of King Joslah, of 623 B.C., in which sacred work hs continued actively until the de- struction of Jerusalem in 6S6 B.C. Aftor the capture of Jerusalem he was treated with great considera- tion by the Babylonians, who gave him the choice of going; to Babylon or of remaining in his native land. He decided for the latter, but sub- sequently In bis old age he wm compelled by the rebellious Jews remaining In the land to go to low- «r Egypt, where he still continued to preach the word of God to his fellow Israelites (chaps. 43,44). In contrast to optimistic prophets who had hoped to remedy matters In Israel, Jeremiah from the begin- ning predicted the destruction of the city and the sanctuary, as also the end of the Jewish nailon and the exile of the people. What char- acterizes this prophet Is the spirit- ual inwardness of his religion. The eiternal temple will be destroyed; external sacrifices have no value, because those who offer them are lacking in spirituality. BETTER DAY TO COME Jn the twenty-thlid chapter the prophet brings a message from tiie Ijord regarding a better day to come, when Israel, scattered by her false rulers, brought Into such dis- obedience against Cod, that they became the prey of foreign Gentile nations, will be as a flock brought back again mto the fold, i.e. to the land of Israel, where they will en- Joy fruitfulness and prosperity aud peace. Over them will be set faith- ful siiophords who will truly lead the people of God in the ways of rightcousnp<s8. 21. I sent not tliese prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied. 22. But It they had stood in nij council, then had they causod my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way. and from the evil of their doings. 2".

Says Co-operation Promotes Security Co-operation provides one of the means "by which farmers by united elton can attain a fair meajitu'e of economic security," Agfriculture Minister P. M. Dew- an of Ontario said in a recent ad- dress at Tliorold. "It seems the lot of llie farmer that over a period of years he must submit to limited margins of profit on his operations," the minister stated. "His income is steady but It Is low. We may look upon him as having reglar employ- ment at a low wage scale. Be- cause of this small income any effectiva method of increasing it through producers' co-operatives or saving it through consumers' co-operatives is a welcome and necessary factor." INCREASE INCOJMI-; The value ol co-operation goes beyond the economic sphere and has educational and cultural value. "No one will deny that in recent years farmers have be- come more class-consciotis and more self-a.ssertive," Mr. Dewan continued. "One tiling is obvious: That gradually they are sliowing a de- termination to obtain due con- .sideration as a class and to re- ceive the rewards for tlieir labois to which they are entitled."
