It will be ro trouble to peddle it out in your community. But to ketp things in ap ple pie order all the time, it is a good idea for the officers to find your still and cut it up every few' weeks. Of course, you must ascertain from the officers what night they are com ing so’s you can take your worm home with you, as the worm is valuable and the still ain't. Now that's the way Crop Estimates.

In fact, they had already found out how many bales the South would make: the private estimators had told them. You see, it’s this way: The government gets a few opinions fiom Tom, Dick ard Harry, but. the private guessers do just the reverse: They get a few opiniers from Harry, Dick and Tom, and thug come forth the so-called estimates. * The government evidently has some extremely good guessers on its pay roll.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Gods Care on a Journey. JUNIOR TOPIC—God’a Care on a Journey. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How Prayer Helps. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Prayer and Providence. I. The Leader—Ezra (7:1-10). I. Who he was (vv. 1-6). (1) A priest (vv. 1-5). He was from the line which was to stand between God and the people, a descendant of Seralah, the chief priest who had a lineage back to Aaron. The leader of the first company was Zenihhal»el. a sort of ill It ary governor. The great need now was for a religious leader, for the people had gone far from God. (2) A ready scribe (v. 6). He was a teacher of the law ot God. A scribe's training began at thir teen years, but he did not enter upon his official duties till thirty years of sge. firing him seventeen yesrs of training. x. vis nign xmpmmi 1 (1) He set his heart to seek the law of the Lord (v. 10). He deflnltely set out with the purpose to know God’s word. No one who purposes In hi* heart to seek the law of the Lord can fall. (2) He set his heart to obey the Lord (v. 10).* He was not only concerned with knowing Gods word, hut obeying It. God's word cannot he known In Its fullness by the Intellect; It must be experienced. (3) He set his heart to teech In Israel God’s statutes and judgments (v. TO). Be not only had ■ love for God’a word, hat a desire to Implant It In the hearts of others. II. Ezra’s Commission (7:11*26). Artaxcrxes, the king, gave him a copy of the decree, authorizing him to lead a company hack to Jerusalem. This decree empowered him; 1. To collect funds (vv. 15.16). 2. To levy tribute (vv. 21,22). 3. To appoint magistrates and judge* (v. 23). 4. To execute penalties (v. 26). • For this great favor Ezra lifted his heart t^> God In thanksgiving (vv. 27, 28). III. The Company Which Retumsd (8:1-20). The company was comparatively small—only seventeen > hundred and fifty-four males, but Including wom en, children and servants there were perhaps t> x or seven thousand people. IV. Ezra's Prayer and Fatting (8:21-23). Tl^e first thing that Ezra did was to seek God’s guidance. AH Christiana, er weH at leaders of the people, should seek divine guidance and help In every new undertaking. No success can he realized without His help and blessing. The reason Ezra sought the Lord’s help was that as far as possi ble he desired his mission to be free from human dependence. He did not minimize the^dangers attending his Journey, but since he had assured the king that the hand of the Lord would be upon all for good who sought Him, he was now ashamed to ask the king for a military escort to protect them from the marauding Arabs. His do sire was to prove to the king the reality of God’s helps, for God’s honor among the heathen was at stake. This was a real test of faith, but God was faithful. V. Ths Successful Journey (8:24- 32). . God heard their prayer. The treas ure entrusted to them was great Per haps the entire value of money and sacred utensils was about five million dollar*. For t small caravan carry ing such ao amount of money to go through a country infested by robber bands was most perilous, hut Ezra knew that God was able and would protect them. Observe: L Care and honesty irw. 24-30). The money was weighed unto them at the start and was to ha weighed over to the authorities J» J*" Costs Exactly $777 to Become Belgian Baron Brussels.—It costs exactly $777, or 27,000 Belgian francs, to become a baron of the kingdom of Belgium. And there Is no record as yet of any per son having refused the title because It cost too much. King Albert confers from three to five titles of nobility every year, most ly to elderly gentlemen of great merit. In most cases the title of baron is con ferred and only Id exceptional cases Is it a hereditary title. So the number of noblemen Is not much Increased by the king’s annual distribution of title*, as the holders and their wive* usually are trto aged to enjoy It for a long time, and their children do not benefit from It at all. The expenses of becoming a boron are rather high, because the state lev ies a tax on registering any new title of nobility The official recording of a title cost* $150. The title of baron Is taxed $110 beside*, while a new vis count ha* to pay $150 In addition, a prince or duke $.*100. To this is added the expenses for a certificate. The certificate I* a marvelous document, hand written by experts and hand painted In the manner of medieval documents. Without such a certificate the title I* not worth a cent. With the certificate It I* worth af least the $777 paid fo» It. and. In the eyes of the world, probably much more. Five or six case* are known where men refused the honor of becoming a baron or count. They did so because they thought their name was good enobgh wltlmut the title. Among these was Mayor Adolphe Max of Brosseli.
