Judging from your letter yon did not nppiy any nitrogen in the form ..f fertilizer and it is likely that your land is low in humus or vegetable matter.

Baby Ionian* and Chaldean*. For two year# after the capture of Babylon Darius was king of Babylon under Cyru*. Now Cyrus reigned at Babylon. "Word of the Lord." See Jer. 2.":12; 29:10. The promise was that after seventy years the Lord would bring His people again to Palestine. "Stirred up? Cy ril*." There is good reason to accept the Jewish tradition according to Jo seph us, that Daniel, occupying a h*gh position in the court of Cyrus, brought to his attention the prophecies of Isaiah, which name Cyrus as God's j servant (Isa. 44:20-24$; 45:1-4), and per- : hap* also, the prophecies of Jeremiah, ; ?bowing that God. had for this purpose given Babylon into the hand* of Cyrus. "Mado a proclamation." See chapter 0. "In writing." To prevent any mis take or reversal. 2. "God of heaven." Hence the Con troller of all men and affairs. "Clod of heaven" seems to have been a usual title of the Supreme Being among the Persians. At this time the Medo-Per sian empire was very extensive, ex tending on the east to the Ited Sea, on the north to the Black Sea. on the west to the Island of Cyprus and Kgypt und on the south to Rthopia. "Hath charged me," etc. Cyrus probably ac cepted t lie prophecy of Isaiah as a charge to build the temple. "The ex istence of predictions in which, 200 j years before lie was born, his victor ions career and t lie important service* he should render to the Jews -wore foretold, led him to acknowledge that nil his kingdoms were gifts bestowed on hlin by 'the Lord (lod of heaven,' and prompted him to fulfill the duty whi' h had been laid upon him long before his birth. This was the source and origin of ihe great favor he showed to the Jews." 3. "Who is ? there among you." The return was to bo a volunteer movement. "His God be with him." A pious wish, indicat ing the deep religious feeling and good ness of heart which characterized Cy rus alone of Persian monarchs. lie | ruled his subjects like a father. No j nobler character appears In ancient j history. "Let him to" As the carry ing away of the Hebrews had taken i place at intervals of from seventy to J fifty years before, there were but few j of the original exiles remaining, and It i? somewhat remarkable that so many of their descendants, nearly 50,000 in all. should be willing io go to a conn- j try they had. never seen. "Build the j house." This was their great errand. | not to build their own houses, but the J house of Cod. "He is the God." We I can understand this gr^at. truth far i in<>re cleariy than could Cyrus Let us j see to it that we live out the knowledge j which we possess. ! -!. "Whosoever remaineth." Some j persons of trun nnd eminent piety j so situated that they did not deem it ; their duty to go. as Daniel in the court i of Cyru'*, others were hindered by old I age. Many more returned than we read of being carried away captive. | "Let t lie men? help him." I.et the j heathen population help him. "Free j will offering.'' Probably that made by j Cyrus himself. II.
