PAGE SEVEN ' A SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON I I , By Rey. Samuel D. Price, D. Associate General Secretary of the World’s Sunday SchobI Association. International Sunday School Lesson for July 7 THE STORY OF EZEKIEL Ezekiel 3:4-11; 24:15-18 Three lessons are pven to the book of Ezekiel and plans should be made now to read the 48 chapters within that time. Visions and symbols abound. messasre to be delivered. Ezekiel was a home missionary, though in a foreign land, and he had the advantage in knowing the language. The task w’ould be hard, indeed, for Much will be found to stimulate think-^ yet the people did not have a mind ing which cannot be explained. You will be lifted, as was the author, into realms of the spiritual and come to an even grreater conception of the reality of the Almighty. Ezekiel had been carried to Babylon from Jerusalem in the deportation during the reign of Jehoiachin, in B97 B. C. Daniel was already there by a still earlier transfer of captivity, feeep in mind that the overthrow of Jeru salem was 586 B. C. Our author, pro phet and pastor began his work at the age of 30, which was the usual time to enter the priestly office, and such his father Buzi held. The very day is indicated when his ministry began, and it translates into our June 26. The place is Tel-aviv, located on a canal in Babylonia. Indicated passages for special research are Ezekiel 1:1-3; 2:1-3; 8:1-4; 11:22-25; 24:15-24; 33: 30-33. The deported Israelites were estab- to listen. They were styled “impudent and hard-heai*ted.” Evangelizing is rarely easy. Though the greatest good is freely offered multitudes are wholly indifferent to God’s gift of love. For such an attitude Ekekiel was prepared in advance. Rebuffs and open j insults have usually been part of the experiences of missionaries, but they could always know that the greatest j insult was thrown in the face of Je- [ hovah, whose representative they were. “Adamant, harder than flint’’ was the attacking and withstanding power of Ezekiel’s “forehead.’’ Their indifference or even rebellion was not to make him afraid. For seven days the ambassador sat in silence as men looked on and won dered. Then they were told of the de pravity he had to report from Jerusa lem, where basest iniquities we^e still being practiced openly. When Jeru salem fell under the attack of Nebu- “Mon Desir”—Lelong calls this elu sive, shimmering cape in moonlight- colored satin. And isn’t it enchanting? Rows and rows of narrow flounces attached to a sheer foundation ripple softly as k limpid pool struck by a shaft of moonlight—and furnish ideal protection against the dews of even ing. For the frocks of cobweb sheer ness which at the moment occupy the center of the stage for evening, the little garment is a most gracious ac- accompaniment. In the picture, beneath her wrap the petite mannequin wears filmy net with elongated sides that fall swishing almost to the floor. The sheerest of hose and slippers of moonlight satin are final touches. ' By Cecile lower neck lines.

The King’s business often calls for a total disregard of all self interests. When “the desire of thine eyes,’’ Ezekiel’s wife, was taken away the prophet was commanded not to dis play any of the usual evidences of mourning but to renew his public ap peals to repentance even oh that very day. ed by the forced change of residence. God still had His purpose in them, and Ezekiel was commissioned to speak His word to them. Amid all the im agery and transport of visions Ezek iel understood his work as a messen ger. Knowing Jehovah’s purpose he could say that the roll “was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.” • “My words” was the burden of the Skirts Feature Originality Sometimes it is the sleeve, some times the neckline or bodice treatment that gives the costume its claim to originality. But this summer it hap pens to be the skirt. With the idea of creating fullness and novel ways in which to use it have come all manner of irregularities. Many soft layers cut in long points distinguish the skirts of sheer even ing and afternoon frocks. Tiers of flounces or groups of set-in tucks or godets become the chief trimming motif for 4Ather madels. Floating pan els and whisps of fabric attached low on the skirt and transparent skirts with short fronts and dipping back-, lines—all these vagaries in design find expression in the prevailing mode which has quite forsaken its former sheath-like plainness, and becomes most decorative.
