secketaby jeremlah 36 the iessox as a whole james hogg known affection ately in scotlands bonier coun try as the et trick shepherd was one of the lesser scottish bards had he lived at some other time he might have been regarded as ore of the great but he was a contemporary and companion of i the wizard of the north sir walter scott and in the shadow iof the giant could not but take la subordinate place so baruch is generally classii tied as one of the lesser chirac- ters of the bible yet this view of him can be justified only bej cause he is seen alongside the towering figure of jeremiah his greatness is seen in his very loyalty to the prophet he might have been state recorder as his brother seraiah became kings gentlemaninwaiting jer 51 59 asvt but he preferred to share the dangers and the hardj ships of rhe prophet and be the amanuensis of the word of god at the prophets lips his con- j temporaries seem to have re- carded him as a stronger person- 1 ality than even jeremiah himj self so much so that they ac- cused the prophet of being sway- 1 ed by the influence of baruch jer 1331 the degree to which baruch captured the imagination of the jewish people is seen in the fact j that seven books written in later centuries bear his name including the apocryphal book i of baruch which some roman i catholic scholars still contend was written by the secretary of the great prophet there are j scattered traditions about his j later life but we know nothing j beyond the fact that he accom panied jeremiah into egypt af ter the destruction of jerusalem at the hands of the chaldeans in the year 586 bc verse by verse jer 3g1 then baruch wrote from the mouth of jere- miah all the words of the lord upon a roll of a book bar- 1 uch seems to have been of a noble family but chose to serve the prophet rather than hold oflice in the state the commit tal fo writing of jeremiahs ora cles was in obedience to a direct command of god v 2 notice that jeremiahs prophesying goes back to the days of josiah and so covers five reigns verse 5 i am shut up i cannot go mto the house of the lord the phrase shut up cannot mean literally impris oned in the light of verses 19 and 26 the word means re strained and is so rendered in the margin of the asv the nature of the restraint is not indicated perhaps it was simi lar to that experienced by paul in acts 166 7 verse 6 therefore go thou and read in the roll in the lords house upon the fasting day baruch was thus to represent the prophet before the public the fast day would bring great crowds to jerusalem and the temple so the message would be widely heard the time of the reading is given us in verse 9 comparing verses 1 and 9 we see the lapse of about a ear between gods command to write and the reading of the toll in the temple the dictating and the writing would take con siderable time and then the roll was held for a suitable occasion verse 7 it may be they will return the lord hath pronounced against this people the reading was prompted by a gracious purpose to give the people opportunity to repent and turn to god in prayer gods pronouncements of judgment have that in view consider nin eveh in the book of jonah verse s and baruch did reading in the book the words of the lord this is the general statement the de tails are given in the following verses the time the place and the like verse 22 now the king sat in the winterhouse a fire on the hearth word had been brought to the king je- hoiakim about this roll with its stern denunciations and sol emn warnings so he sent for it the hearth was probably a hollow in the middle of the floor where coals burned in a metal basin or brazier verse 23 when jehudi had read three or four leaves he cut it with the penknife and cast it into the fire for leaves read columns it was not a book with leaves but a roll written in columns it was not jehudi but the king who seikd the roll cut it in pieces and threw it piece by piece into the fire verse 21 not afraid nor rent their garments notice the difference between verses 16 and 24 the princes in verse 16 were afraid when they heard the words of the lord but the kings servants or courtiers had no fear even in the presence of such a rebellious act verse 25 elnathan made intercession not burn the roll there are three of the princes mentioned in verse august 24 to september 7 except sunday direct into

the sixth commonwealth mining and metallurgical con gress convening then in vanj couver with delegates attending from 70 countries postmaster george walker has auroras order for the is- 1 sue on file

ratings popularity varies one of the most popular stamps issued was the colourful red cross fivecenter of some years ago the issue sold quick ly and collectors were scouring the smaller post offices to round out their collections aurora post office was visited by collect ors from as far away as lon don as impossible to guess as their popularity is the market value of stamps around 1950 a 17cent airmail was called in 12 who were opposed to this folly and wickedness but their reproof had no weight with the angry king verse 26 but the king com manded to take baruch and jeremiah but rhe lord hid them the revised versions read jerahmeel the kings son the king was determined to get rid of the prophet and his secre tary as well as the roll their escape from their wouldbe ar resters is summed up in the simple phrase the lord hid them verse 32 another roll all the words which jehoiakim had burned and there were added many like words the spirit if inspiration recalled to jeremiahs mind what had been given on the first occasion so that nothing was by the postmaster genera and i within three months of its re call date was selling for 75 j cents the old tencent special delivery stamp recalled in 1953 1 was worth 20 cents within one j week lost but more added the heart of the lesson there are times when the message of god must be brought to sharp focus such a time had arrived in judah j nebuchadnezzar had made his j first raid on jerusalem carrying away booty and captives and leaving jehoiakim in the place j of a puppet king these were the i beginnings of the judgments j which god through his servant i jeremiah had been pronouncing j against judah the time had i come therefore to present these events in the light of gods pro nouncements to give the peo ple opportunity to repent before it was too late and to warn them that unless they repented what had now begun before their eyes would certainly come to its full measure in judgment and ruin to make the message more definitive god commanded jere miah to write if down beginning with the oracles uttered in the days of josiah it is valueless to fse wanted more cream shippers for best results ship your cream to stouffville

whether the sum of them was to be written the spirit of in spiration would certainly bring to remembrance what had been given before and what was nec essary to be preserved for the purpose jeremiah secured the services of his friend baruch who was a ready scribe it was not the work of a day but of many days the roll being completed it was now a question of present ing the message for some rea son unexplained jeremiah was at this time barred from the temple so baruch was given the further task of reading the message to the people in the temple the prophet suggested a fast day when great throngs would be present both from je- i rusalem and the provinces the fast chosen was not one of the mosaic holy days for there was i no mosaic fast nor feast in j the ninth month it may have j beer a special fast called by the king to stir national rebellion j a g a i n s t nebuchadnezzar the chaldean overlord baruch was an effective read- j or after reading to the people he was invited to read before the princes of the nation they felt that the proceedings ought to be reported to the king but they advised jeremiah and baruch to hide for they knew the temper of the king a courtier jehudi was therefore appointed to read for the king the message of divine judgment so angered the king that he seized the roll cut it in pieces and burned it in the fire oin the students subscription campaign
