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.

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.
