[mum ^ a£2 Predicts the Passing of Billboard Advertising tt one may Judge from advance Uinta cmnully dropped here and theiie« the advertising men from the United States who are to visit England en masse during the coming summer will be shown in a convincing manner the results of* psychological researches made by British savants into a science and art of which the visitors them selves are generally regarded as the chief exponents. The experiments, which have been cendocted on a wide as well as an Intensive scale, will, It Is predicted, lead to the inevitable conclusion that before many years have elapsed adver tising by billboards will have largely disappeared. The evidence regarding the billboard, at least. Is conclusive, for the outcry against the desecration of rural scenery has led some of the Wgpest users of that method of catch ing the prospective customer’s eye to announce. a speedy and wholesale withdrawal, on both sides of the At lantic, of the occasion of offense. A sense of the artistic fitness of things on the part of the heads of corporations and other concerns, as well as a desire to comply with pub lic nentlment and demand, was sup posed to be behind tills Important de cision, and due credit must he al lowed for so honorable a motive. In Addition, however, it now . appears likely enough that another .compelling cause was a feeling of wasted effort sod a realiration that the billboard as a means of effecting sales whs not all that It was expected Ae be, and did not, in fact, warrant the outlay it entailed.—Washington Post. Know Your Own Town First The story h? told of a city man who w'hr put to shame by a country cousin because the latter, in only a few days tn the city, had observed more of the city's noteworthy features than the ether. Then the city man had a bright Jdea and proceeded to quiz his rural reTatiop. ““ ' j -it developed that the countryman never took time to. visit several spots of sonic beauty near his farm, that he had never visited another place of true historic Interest only five mile* from his land, and that, on the whole, he was Just as remiss In b?fc "apprecia tion of his own community as was his city ffleiwl. If the two had pressed their compar ison a' little further, no doubt, each would have found the other ignorant of some of the shortcomings of his own community, too. What Improve ments were heeded in sanitation, in the schools. In traffic regulations and an on, would probably find neither In an an well Informed or thoughtful as In telligent citizenship requires. A know jour-own-town campaign would be pro ductive of heneflcl.il results in ihiiosl any community of sny dtee.—Elkhart Truth. Architecture Neglected Architecture is perhaps the most neglected, pethapa the moat observed of all the arts. Magazines do not fall to chronicle the latest achievements In the. field of drama, painting, sculpture and litera- tnre. and nofcr mpvlng pictures,'our lat ent form of art expression, daily re- nuire more dud more front-page space, dae, in large measure, to the extra curriculum activities of their expo- wants. But of architecture we hear tittle except- in the Journals devoted earlusively to the Interests of the pm flsasion. writes George S: Chappell la the New Uepubllc. This apathy on the part of the aver age man is often only his fear of be- eaaahig Involved in the |eclmicalUl< t af this most complicated calling. A eawversatlon, between brother archi tects frequently abounds In references to sach mysteries as spandrels, soffits, pendentlves. fenestration and archl- tnavcs, which leave the casual listener eeld not to say bored. ■mmiovoKMinoauTioM (By R*V p.

THE RETURN AND THE REBUILD* INQ OF THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Kara 1:1-11; S:S-«:2X. GOLDEN TEXT—“Comfort ye, com fort ye my people, salth your God."— tea. 40:1. PRIMARY TOPIC—Building a House for Qod. , JUNIOR TOPIC—Love for God’a House. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Rebunlding Of the Temple. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Sianitlcance of the Return. I. The Return From Captivity Pro- dieted (Jer. 29:10-14). It seems that false prophets were flourishing 4n Babylon, telling the peo ple that they would speedlly be re stored to their own land. To counter act this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send a letter to the captives In Baby lon (Jer. £Sl;l-9}. In this letter he ad vised them to settle down and q&letly pursue their regular callings of life and not to be led astra$ by false proph ets. I. The Length of the Captivity (v. 10). Their coming back was to be “after seventy years.” From Daniel'S^ It is clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company w’as taken cap tive among which Daniel was found. II. The Prediction of Captivity Ful filled (Ezra 1:1-11). 1. The Proclamation of Cyrns (vr. 1-4). This was not by accident, hut that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled (v. 1). God never forgets. What He lias promised Hie will do. It was by divine initiation—the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus. In his proclamation he ordered that all who desired should go hack and build the house of the c Lard God, and those who lacked this inclination should lend as sistance by making gifts of silver, gold and beasts. 2; The Ilesp«nse to Cyrus’ Proclama tion (vv. 5, 6). The company which returned was largely made up of rep resentatives of Judah and Benjamin. 3. Boyal Favors (vv. 7-11). Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the I^ord which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. This, no doubt, greatly encouraged the Jews, for there were* 5,400 vessels returned. III. Tha Temple Rebuilt (Ezra 3:8- 6:15). 1. The Foundation Laid. Tills wae an auspicious occasion and was cele brated with impressive ceremonies. (t) Th4 priests In 'their apparel (v. 10). The priests’ garments symbolized their consecration to the Lord’s'setT' -i,- '•A*-’— ' •" - ,V*N lea.- (2) The priests with trumpets (v, 10). These trumpets were made of sil ver and were used In calling the peo ple together . (3) The Levltea with symbols (v 10). These were to furnish the In strumental music of the sanctuary. In accordance with the arrangements made-by David (I Chroa. 15:10-21). (4) They sang together by ecurae (▼. 11). This means that they sang to one another responsively. The one company gang, “The Lord Is good.” The other responded, “For his mercy endur- eth forever.” (6) Mingled weeping and shouting (vv. 12, 13). Some of the older man, who had seen the magnificent and glo rious temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed, wept much when they saw how far short the present founda tions came from the fonner temple. 2. The Bulling Hindered (Kara 4). The leading adversaries were the Sa maritans. a mongrel people, the off spring of the poor Jews who were left In Palestine and the foreign people who were sent Into Palestine after the Jews were taken captive. (1) An unintelligent pessimism (Ezra 3:18). Under the circumstance this was a glorious beginning and gave promise of great things for the future. Therefore it was no credit to the priests, Levltgs and chl%f of the fa thers to mar this occasion with their weeping. (2) Worldly compromise (Ezra 4:2, 3). They said, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God.” Th^i Is Satan’s most common and effective method to day. (3) Open opposition by the world (Ezra 4:4-24). When refuaed a part In the work open opposition* was re sorted to. 3. The Temple Finished (Ezra 5:1-0; 6:15). Through the ministry of the Prophets Haggal and Zechariuh the people were encouraged to resume the work of building the temple. IV. The Temple Dedicated (Ezra 6:16-22). The people were united In this build ing program and came together upon Its completion and solemnly dedicated It to God.
