By NEWMAN CAMPBELL "ZEDEKIAH was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in J - lem." Alas! Zedekiah did not follow in the way of the Lord, but offended Him. He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to whom he had sworn allegiance. The prophet Jeremiah warned Zedekiah, put neither he nor his people heeded the warnings. Then the blow fell. Nebuchad- nezzar sent his army to destroy Jerusalem, and they did it very thoroughly, They took all the treas- ures of the house of God and of the king and his princes. "And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof." Sad, is 1x not, that after more than 2,000 years, human beings are still destroying one another's cities and carrying people into captivity? Now, however, we have more effi- cient means of bringing about such destruction. We drop bombs and use other horrible missiles to kill and maim our enemies. Shouldn't all the world be on its knees, praying God to show us how to keep the peace, to forgive us our sins, and help us to obey Him and keep His commandments? Zedekiah and his people were earried into exile. Jeremiah too was carried away, but he was recognized by the Babylonian king and given his choice to stay or go back to his people. He chose to return. In Psalm 137 we are told of the desolation of the captives in a | strange land: "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. "We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof." "How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?" In Jerusalem, Jeremiah thought of his people who were living among strangers and far from home, and | he wrote a letter to them, which | began, "Thus said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are | carried away captives. "Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit. of them." He also told them to marry and have families that they might grow strong. In other words, as they had sinned and | were being punished for it by a just God, they were to make the best of the situation and "seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you | to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace." Jeremiah warned the people not $0 listen to the false prophets in Bahkylon, and that the Lord prom- ised that after 70 years of captivity he would take away their captivity and return them to their homeland. "And ye shall call upon Me, and we shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. "And I will be found of you, saith Jehovah, and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive." After all this time, this prophecy is coming true. The Jewish. people are flocking back to Palestine from the lands where they have been persecuted and slain. May they live in peace, surmounting the difficul- ties and dangers that threaten all of us! Nebuchadnezzar, king of Baby- Ion, called his chief of the eunuchs and asked him to ohoose certain Israelite children who were well born, comely of person, and well educated, and have them taught the language of the Chaldeans. They were to be fed from the king's table, and after three years this eunuch, whose name was Ash- pensz, was to bring them before the ng. Daniel Hananiah, Mishael and Azarish were chosen for the ex- | periment, but Ashpenaz changed | Daniel's name to Belteshazzar; | Hananiah's to Shadrach; Mishael's | to Meshach and Azariah to Abed- nego. Daniel, however, rebelled against the king's food and wine. He asked the eunuch if they might not rather eat the simple food to which they had been accustomed and which was sanctioned by their religion. The eunuch asked Daniel if he wanted him (Ashpenaz) to lose his head by disobeying the king's order, | see if they would not appear as well The Golden Text Jeremiah, "Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with oll your heart." -- Joremich 29:13. nourished as the Babylonian boys. | The eunuch agreed, and at the end of the period set, the four Jew- | ish boys were taken before the king, | and Nebuchadnezzar found them | fairer and fatter in flesh than all | the other young people, and "in all | matters of wisdom and understand- ing, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers | that were in all the realm." Man Is Sinful By R. BARCLAY WARREN | The popular belief today is that | everyone (or just about everyone) | is Christian. To insinuate other- | wise is certain to invite cold looks and harsh words. But what does | God say through His inspired Word, | the Bible. "We have before proved | both Jews and Gentiles, that they | are all under sin; as it is written, there is none righteous, no, not Keeps Old Church Spotless Quebec, May 18--(CP)--The Cor- vee, a custom borrowed from the Middle Ages, still plays a big part in the life of a small parish on the St. Lawrence River. And it's all because French-speak- ing Canadians can be stubborn about certain things, says Cure Maurice Tessier. The people of Quebec City's Notre Dame de la Garde Parish take pride in having their little church spot- less and twice a year they hold a scrubbing-bee. Everything had to be just right recently for the Spring visit of "Monseigneur L'Archeveque" --Archbishop Maurice Roy of Quebec--and the confirmation rites of small children from the parish. Out came the pails of hot water, cakes of rough yellow Canadian soap, hard-bristled brushes andl wash rags. Men, women and chil- dren scrubbed and polished for two days. The job didn't cost the parish a penny and will be repeated just be- fore next Christmas. In feydal times, peasants were re- quired by law to do a few days' unpaid labor each year on manorial is sin; but there is a cure. Through Christ there is victory over the power of sin. Thank God. estates. This was known as the Corvee. ' Now Volutary Job The custom, toned down to a volutary basis, was adopted at Notre Dame de la Garde in 1877 when the church was built on Quebec harbor piers near Wolf's Cove. In those days thecustom was to sell chuch pews to families of the parishh. The first cure of Notre Dame de la Garde sold the pews-- with perpetual rights of legacy--for 75 cents a year with owners re- sponsible for church's upkeep. The arrangement has continued to this day, although, now, more volunteer Corvee-workers then pew- owners do the work. The parishioners, mostly steve- dores and dock workers, cling to the tradition. Dean of the Corvee-workers is Mrs. Alfredine Dion, a widow, who has been doing odd chores around the church for almost 40 years. She fills in as Sexton. For her work she received the medal of Diocesan Merit in 1946 from the late Cardinal Villeneuve, the Archbishop of Quebec. Former members of the Soviet forces will be used by the B.B.C. to send a sound picture of the Festival of Britain to the Iron Curtain coun- tries. 17 Erie St. Oshawa -- Rev. S. B.

Romans 3:9-18. The natural man is not go good after all! But there is a great consolation in the fact that God has sent His Son to de- liver us from our sins. "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on them the | iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6.

Manning Of Taxes By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE One of the most widely popular slogans of the day is that thread- bare suggestion "Take it out of Profits." When union officials press for higher wages, their theme song is always that such increases should have no influence on prices because the increase can be pro- vided "out of profits' When the public press for lower-cost goods they almost always couple their de- mands with the suggestion that the differenct can be recouped "out of profits," When the politician looks for further sources of revenue his eyes gleam with the satisfied thought that popular approval al- ways runs with the demand for another tax slice out of profits. + People who have such unbuond- gross profit, might well rcflect li little farther. Take just three specific facts. The 1939 profit dol- lar was worth its face value, but these enlarged profit dollars are worth about fifty cents. That im- mediatel © cuts the profits in half. No. 2 fact is that taxes on these profits are just about six and a half times what they were in 1939. No. 3 fact is that the undistributed part of taxes, the part that is set aside for building, renewing or modernizing plants and providing the growing costs of raw materials, is just two and three quarters times what it was in 1939. That simply means that if all the profits that 'e actually speak of as profits those that are distributed to someone--were diverted to these other purposes of ours they would make a very small percentage in- crease in wages or deduction in| | CENTRE ST.
