ears Clemens Luecken has conducted
wooden shoe factory in the little
own.

The shoes are made according to
le length and breadth of the foot as
omputed by Inches. The host of parons
whom Luecken supplies with
ooden tiroes every year includes

tie shoes range from 45 to 65 cents,
hoes made of birch come higher beause
they last longer than those made

"One day," said Mr. Tillman, "his

old Jeff asked to have a few days ofT
to go, as he put it. 'up to de old state
of Hosting,' to see his aunt.
" 'Why, JefT," said the lady, 'your

"'Yes'm,' he replied, 'yes'm; mah j

"'One hundred and five years!' exclaimed
his mistress, 'what on earth

seriousness, 'she's up dere livln' wid

Sunday School Lesson for Nor. 19,1911 [
Specially Arranged for This Paper
LESSON TEXT-Etra 8:13-36.
MEMORY VERSES-21. 23.
GOLDEN TEXT?"The hand of our
"tod is upon all them for good that seek
him."?Ezra S:22.
TIME?B. C. 433, the seventh year of
Artaxerxes.
Ezra leaves li&hylon with his company
on the 1st day of the 1st month, March;
and reaches Jerusalem on the 1st day of
the 3th month, July.
The convocation was on the !0th day of
the 9th month (In Nov.-Dec.).
His reforms were made during the win- I
tar, Dec. 438. to March. 437.
The nearly sixty years between the
sixth and seventh chapters of Itzra, of !
which there is almost no direct rec- !
ord. could scarcely be called ' 'the
blank annals of well-being." Without
tfcfee happy periods of duliuess our
lives would be hell, and our hearts
eternally bubbling and boiling in a j
tuge pot made hot with thorns. But ;
these were years of slow progress, of '
lIUUJiCBB, rtlJU UVKICl l, iiAt' a guiuru I
wherein the heavenly plants, while 1
iitill growing, were overrun with
weeds, and the vines and olive trees,
untrimmcd and neglected, bore but
jmall and scanty fruit.
The temple had been built, but the
opposition had been so great that
.he walls had not been restored and
he rubbish still arose in long-stretch.ng
mounds. The visions of glory had
laded. They had expected a vast Indus
of their brethren, ftom Babylon |
and other lands, but had been to a ,
great extent disappointed.
Ezra, no doubt knowing the condi- ;
'.ion of things in Jerusalem, had not
only prepared his heart to seek the
law of the Lord, and to do it, but he
planned to go up to Jerusalem and
.each in Israel statutes and Judgments.
Moved by religious zeal, and also, it
would seem, with the statesmanlike
view of making Jerusalem once more
the real spiritual metropolis of Judaism,
Ezra conceived the idea of Infusing
new life and new ideals Into
:he Judean community by leading a
freph band of zealously religious exiles
back to Judca on a mission of reform.
They started from Babylon on the
first day of the first month, which i
would be some time in the last of
March or the first of April, according
to the date of Easter and Passover.
It took some lime to reach
\hava and get things thoroughly arranged
for the Journey, so that it was
the twelfth day of the first month, I
lbout the time of the Passover, our
Easter, before they began their long j
narch. And the hand of our God was
jpon us, the hand that defends, the
r<;nd that gives, the hand of friend- j
jfllp.
They came to Jerusalem, after a I
journey of four months, arriving there 1
he first day of the fifth month, or 1
ibout the middle of July. The distance
in a direct line was about 500
miles, but the road followed by Ezra's 1
caravan made a long detour to avoid
the desert and could hardly have been
less than 900 miles. From Ahava the
time w8b 110 days, so that the oara
van averaged nine miles a day, omit- |
ting Sabbaths, which was as fast as a !
caravan could easily go. with women
and children walking, and household
"fleets to be carried.
Ezra brought $2,000,000 for the re
pgir of the temple, and for all that
was necessary to put the outward
forms of worship in perfect condition.
He infused the community with
Ills own devoted and consecrated spiritual
life and fervor. He brought with
him tho Book of the Law and the
Prophets, with Its strict morality, and
made it known to the people. In contrast
with this holy law the conduct
of the people in adopting "the abominations"
of the heathen appeared in
ill its glaring wickedness.
Then Ezra entered upon his great
reform. Some of the leaders pointed
out to Ezra that the people, even the
princes and rulers, were intermarrying
with the idolaters, and there was
danger that the religion of Israel
would be destroyed, that all the sins
J - * - ? 11? l-l 1- -
wnien causeo ine exiie wuuiu uc ic- :
peated, arid ill that the exile had done
as a discipline would be lost.
Ezra first by himself was astounded
and stunned by the report, and
showed all the signs of deepest sor- '
row and humiliation. Then there was
a meeting together with him of "every
uno that trembled at the words of the
God of Israel, because of the transgression
of those that had been carried
away." They sat in bitter astonishment
till the time of evening
prayer. Then they bowed themselves
before the Lord, and wept and prayed
and confessed and entreated.
Then followed a public meeting, a
great congregation of men and women
ind children. There came the great
moral reform. There was a proclamation
throughout all Judab and Jerusalem.
that all should gather them?elves
unto Jerusalem, upon pain of
laving their property confiscated and
themselves excomunicated from the
irothcrhood of Israel. In a great rain |
they confessed, repented and re'ormed.
Those who arc bribing and taking
aribes?trying to get rich by graft

anks, committing all kinds of crime, j
ilthough the sinners are rich, and of- ;
Icehoiders?are now working in jaila
reparated from their wives and chlliren,
and are learning honest trades
t is sad, indeed, but there is :io
>ther way of saving the nation.
The suffering involved by Ezra's
ouise was not necessarily so great
is it would seem, not so great as imirisonment
of a family man causes tolay
The man could still support the
liscarded vife and hildren. and do

Caring for Consumptives.
There are now four special metnoas :
by which consumptive worklngmen In j
the T'nited States are being cared for. 1
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and i
Binghamton, X. Y., the unions support 1
a separate pavilion or hospital. In !
cities like Hartford, New Britain and !
South Manchester, Conn., the work- 1
tnen contribute towards the mainte- j
nance of a fund for the care of consumptives.
The employers also contribute
to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat- :
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper- |
ated by labor unions; one by the In- \
ternational Typographical union, and 1
the other by tiie Printing Pressmen
and Assistants' union. In Massachu- I
setts, Illinois and elsewhere large cor- |
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their j
consumptive employes for a limited '
length of time.
MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY
"I have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that it is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he is fine and
healthy, and when five months old,
won a prize in a baby contest. It
makes my heart ache to go into so
many homes and see a sweet-faced j
baby with the whole top of its head
a solid ninss of scurf, caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cuticura,
and nine times out of ten the next
time I see the mother she says: 'Oh!
I am so glad you told me of Cuticura.' "
(Signed) Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redondo
Beach, California, Jan. 15, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint- ;
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuticura,"
Dept. 20 L, Boston.
Scouting at Home.
' No ihanks." says the man with the ,
grizly mustache. "I'd like to indulge
in a little game of poker tonight, but
I think I'd best go home."
"Nonsense!" says his friend.
"What's changed you all of a sudden?"
"Well, you see, my son has Joined 1
the Hoy Scouts, and the little rascal !
has become so shrewd that he can
tell by where my hat is just what
time I came in the night before."?
