Mic. 4:3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" During the rcigu oi Ilci!C>kiah, probably between 726 unJ 701 1!,C. Place. â€" Micah's ministry was entirely within the territory of Judah, and for the most part iti the city of Jerusalem. This lejwon is csiiecially inter- esting bccuu&e the people around whom this whole chapter gatUert arc the most talked-of, the mobt hated, people presenting the most difficult problems of all the racci in the world today. No one has suffered in modern times as the Jews have suffered, at the hands of other nations; aiul here is not only a prophecy of .-iUth suffer- ing, but a passage of wonderful hope, promising a time when these sufferings will be over, and a per- iod when these people will come back to God and have a kingdom, in which joy and peace will abound. The name Jlicah was not an uncommon one among the He- brews; it means "Who is like Je- hovah?" Jlicah was a simple countryman, born of obscure par- entage in an otherwise unknown village. Allcah, as his prophecy shows, was in closest toucli and sympathy with the class of yeo- men whose wrongs he so graph- ically describes. Promiie of the Kiogdom In the first three chapters, Micah's chief moral denunciations are reserved for the wealthy nob- les and worldly priests • â€" • the greedy aristocrats who coveted fieids und houses and took them by force, who oppressed widows and broke up happy homes. Com- mercialism and materialism were supplantinif almost the last vestigs of the ethical and the spiritual in .lorusaleni. At such a crisis Mi- cah appeared, and attempted to call the nation back to God and to duty. '1: 1. But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the moun- tain of Jehovah's house shall li» established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. 2. .\nd many nations shall go and .say. Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his patlis. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem: 3. and he will judge between many jipoples, anil will <lccide concern- ing .strong nations fur off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neith- er shall they leavn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig- tree ; and none kIiuII make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it. The mountain of the house of Jehovah ia the temple mountain, Moriah, here considered as part of '/ion. Xion is the source of the law and word of the Lord, from which the nations draw instruction how to tvalk in the ways of (iod, to make It their own, take it to their â- pimt's, and walk aorording to it. Every Man Under God I"'. l*'or all the pfoplos walk ev- 'â- fv one in the name of his god; ;ind we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and "ver. A man's god h what rulei bin practical life; It is that which ithnpes and orders our live-. Knr- tl'erniore, the worshipper will re- semble his god in character.

It is one of the most remark- able Messianic prophecies in all of the Old Testament, in chapter four we had a very beautiful pic- ture of an age enjoying universal and genuine peace; here the Mes- siah himself is designated as th« cause for such peace.

Crows are crafty creatures and by experience they associate a acarecrow with the presence oi aome tempting forbidden fruit. Crov.'s arc long-lived and con- sequently have long memories. Tests far worse than crows prey upon the farmer'.s crops, re- marks B. I-eslie ilmslie, chemi"!- agronomist. Crows may be see:! and heard, shot at or shoo'd away, though perhaps not to stay, ivhiie <hese other pests are invisible mi- cro-organisms whose ravages, however, can be plainly seen by harvest time. Invisible Enemies Many of these micvcscopic jfcs^s are fungi, some of which may in- fest the soil, but most of them arc carried on the seed itself â€" fo:- instance, scab and rhizoctonia of potatoes, seed rot or corn, bui:t or .stinking sjmj^ of wlieat, the smuts of oats, severed smut auii stripe of barley, root and stei.i rots of cereals, peas, beans and other crops. Science has done much for aj- riculture, and one of the lutcsi and greatest achievements is the discovery that cenain organic compounds of mercury will con- trol the.^e seed-borne diseases without injury to the seed itself when applied in the small doses prescribed. Indeed, by destroying; the fungi the ireatineiit improves the germinating vigour of the seed and consciiuonily increases yield-. Control Seed-Borne Diseases Y'cars of most careful, pain- slaking research and trial reveal- ed that there is a specific or^ian c mercury compound for each oi" several classes of crops. l'"on;uv ately, a little goes a long way. -o the cost of treatment is triflinj;. only a few cents an acre. Tho seeds of cereals, for instance, arc treated effectively with the ethyl mercury phosphate dust at the rale of only one-hulf cunci per bushel, mui tho seed grain may in- treated from 21 hours to three Tuonths before planting, as may be convenient. For seed corn there is anculu >â-  organic mercury dust and a il'i'- ferem one for veeglable seed.-;, while for ptdatics a wet dip treat- ment is us(^d. For the control of .seeding "dan\ping-off" a dilute solution of the orjrtinic mercury specific for vegetables may t>e prepared anil applied to the so:! with a watering can or in a finer spray.
