THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, QNT. THURSDAY. OCT. 31, 1935 RHYTHM (Continued). ALSO TONE RELATIONS Rhythm is created by a proportional increase in a number of circles and squares, and then by a corresponding decrease, as demonstrated In FIG.'S 252 and 253. Rhythm may also be obtained by the undulating line running through or connecting teie measures, as shown in FIG.'S 254 and 255. Which in your judgment is the undulating line or lines in FIG. 254? If you have any doubt in your mind about this problem, send a stamped, addres:ed envelope in which you have placed your answer in so far as you are able to produce an answer. The Art Director is always ready to answer questions or problems which arise from these weekly lessons. will come across some very, very important feature that was perhaps missed by him or her at the first time of reading these lessons. The suggestion of adding tints over former illustrations is a splendid way in which to review the illustrations, bj reading the text matter you will also refresh your mind on a number of important subjects which otherw: you may have overlooked. Therefore, be big enough, or rather have the courage to go back and dig into former work. Then you will learn whether or no you are advancing an artist and designer. I am sure that you obtained some real pleasure from the results gained in producing work called for in 73, so I am asking you this week to create some more new motifs suit- O^VO^CVT) □□□□□□□□ ooooooooo Difcciajciftinfti 2L4- 9 O • as- / a. 5- a. have only shown our motifs in the single line variety, without giving any consideration to the scale of TONES from BLACK to WHITE, or vise versa. A great deal of variety may be introduced into your composition or design with the addition of tinfs, shades, colours, or even solid black. For instance, FIG. 253 introduces solid black and thus adds VARIETY to RHYThM. Now try for variety in design by sketching lines, or stipple dots, and solid blacks over the illustrations in these lessons. You will be surprised at the many different effects you can produce. A student who will go back and review former work is bound to be more successful, because of the very fact that in reviewing a student ibbe i able f and your creations should be filed away for fuLure use.

SUNDAY-- CHOO| FSSON JUDAH TAKEN CAPTI Jeremiah 39 : 1--18. 2 Kings 25 : 1--2 GOLDEN TEXT.--Right< to any people. --Proverbs 14 : 34 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME. -- Jehoiakim, the seventeenth king of Judah, was enthroned by Pha-raohnecho, 607 B.C., and reigned until 597 B.C. Jehoiachin was king that year for three months. Zedekiah, the last of the kings, reigned from 597 to 587 B.C. Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C. PLACE. -- For the most part, the cities of Jerusalem and Babylon. "And it came to pass in the nintii year of his reign." That is, in the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah, and., consequently, B.C. 588. "In the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month." Cf. the similarly exact dates in Ezekiel 24 : 1, 2. The days were observed as fasts after the e,xile (Zech. 7 : 3, 5, 8 : 19). "That Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped agains: it." It is evident from verse six that Nebuchadnezzar did not come t0 Jerusalem himself, but remained at Riblah (23 : 33), and sent his army from thence against Jeru- "And they built forts against it round about." More accurately bulwarks or siege-works. "So, the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah." "On the ninth day of the fourth month." The siege lasted all together : months, twenty-seven "The famin 10. --20; s sore in the city, no bread for the 1." The horrors of rred to in Lamen- -10; Ezek "Then a breach was made in the ity." The breach was made with bat-?ring rams such as are depicted on "And all the men of war fled by ii.'it by the way of the gate be-veen the two walls, which was by le king's garden." The two walls ere necessary for the protection of le Pool of Siloam and the water ipply. seem to indicate route, the king and to break through I as the city would s completely invested '•'And the king w< the Arabab." The ra valley running f>'oi i followers had in which the Jordan flows, and w'licfc was, consequently, located some miles to the east of the city of Jerusalem'. "But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him." In the neighborhood of Jericho, the Arabah expands to the breadth of eleven or twelve miles. "Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him." "Nebuchadnezzar, with the grandness of his court, held a solemn trial of Zedekiah, as a rebel against his liege lord, in which, no doubt, his breach of oath was made prominent. "And they slew the sens of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon." Ezekiel had predicted Zedekiah's blindness (Ezek. 12 : 13). Jeremiah 52 : 11 tells us that Zedekiah remained in prison until he died. "Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Xeb-uzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem." Nebuzaradan was literally the captain of the executioners, i.e., the one who commands those who are commissioned to execute the kings' commands, especially his death sentences, and so the captain of the guard (Gen. 37 : 36). "And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with five." In this conflagration, the common houses were spared for the poor who were, left. "And all the army of the Chaldeans, hat were with the captain of the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about." The walls were broken down first, of course, to allow the soldiers readier access to the city itself, and, in the second place, they were broken down to eliminate the possibility of the city's being defended again by any returning body of Judaean soldiers. "And the residue of the people were left in the city." These captives are probably to be taken as the chief part of the noncombatant part of the population of Jerusalem and Judah. 'And thase that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive." These, no doubt, were the deserters (see Jer. 27 : 12; 37 : 13 tt>; 38 : 2, 4, 17, 19). "But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vine- Stockyard LocoiWves In Head-on Win New Laurels With Easy-to-Knit Set! escaped with iraioi A Deeply Interested.

These agriculturists were allowed to remain in the land that crops might be raised which could be taxed or seized by the invaders. It is not considered a policy of wisdom on the part of any conquering power to leave fertile areas uncultivated and a nation utterly barren and depopulated.
