It ;meetns ‘ that . folse prophets were fiourshing in -Babylon telling: the -peo~ ple- that they ‘would speedily be re- stored to'tlieir own land. To, counter- act this the Lord maved Jeremiah to send: this .letter to the captives in Babylon .(¥v. 8 9). In this letter he adyised- tliem to settle down and quietly- nuhue thelr regular callings of life. and - pot to'be led: astray by the false. prophets: (vv. ‘6, 7). 1. ‘The. length. of tha captivity (v.'10). . Their comipg: back was to be nty -years.” From Daniel clear that seventy years the time_when the first company Was taken .captive . among which Daniel . i overed . by God. (vv. 10-14). 2 God's -pi e -in. the captivity was to, cure of their kdolatrous prac- tices. , ussured them that when His Purpose.‘'Was accomplished he would it thein and convince them of His 00d purgose toward them. When once this .was. done. they -would. call upon Bim- in sincerity and He would be found.of them. Theixr captivity He would, turn away; gather them from all the nations and bring them into theu' own land. 1. -Prediction. of cnmlvlty Ful- llllod (Egra 1:111). “"The proclamstion of Cyras (vv. 1-4)..

It may have been that Cyros only saw ‘his own actlon as a plece of statecraft—the creation Igi bufter state nation between his King- dodi dnd that of Egypt. Be that as it , God.stirred him,up to do Hjs wiil. (3)' The content of His proclamh- tion (vv. 2-4). (a) “The Lord God of heaven hath charged me to bulld Him u_house {n Jerusalem" (v. 2). This makes’ clear that he had: some impres- slon. o2 God's_hand upon'him. (b) Ap- peal to Jewish patriotism (v. 3). He inivokes . God’s ‘blessing upon such’ as possess the uational: religious feellng, and, commands them to go and build the ‘house of the Lord God. (c) Lend nlhhnl:e (v. 4). Mamy of the Jews wére established In business and !here- J fore. were not free to go. Many, doubt, had lost thelr uatlonal -mm and therefore were not anxious to go. All such were to yend friendly us- sistance in silver, gold and beasts. ‘Chose who cannot go to do God's wotk should, strengthen the hands of those who do go. "The response ‘of Cyrus’ proclam- atign’(vv. 5, 6). The chief of the fathes of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levites presented them- selves ‘as - willing;‘and ready to go.

"The royal favor (vwv. 7-11) Cyrus drought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnez- zar had brought forth out of Jeru- salem and put into the house of his gods.. This was .a great encourage- ment to every loyal Jew whose heart had been grieved over the profanation of these gacred vessels. Now to have 5,400 of these vesels returned to their owners and sent back to Jerusalem to be put to their original use, met & hearty response by the Jews. { Who Knowsth the Lord's Mind.

Soon the drill was biting into the sur- face of the foot wall. Quitting time came; the drill was in two feet, and in the morning, Fairchild went at his task again, pounding away at the long, six-foot drill with strokes that had behind them only muscles, not the intense driving power of hope. A foot he progressed into the foot w:¥ and changed drills. Three inches more. Then— “Harry!” “What's ‘appened?’ The tone of Fairchild’s voice had caused the Cornishman to lean from his staging and run to Fairchild’s side. That person had cupped his hand and was holding it beneath the driil hole, while into it he was pulling’the muck with the scraper and staring at it. “This stuft’s changed color’” he exclaimed. “It looks like—" *“Let me see!” The older man took a portion of the blackish, gritty mass “This’ Stuff's Changed Color." and held it close to his carbide. looks dtke something—it leoks like “pt something!” His voice was high, ex- cited. “I'll finish the ’ole and jam enough dynamite In there to tear the insides out of it.

Scrap- ing the watery conglomeration into a tobucco can, he threw on his coat and ran for the shaft. Then he pulled himself up, singing, and dived into the fresh-made drifts of a nhew storm as he started toward town; nor did he stop to investigate the fast- fading footprints of some one who evidently had passed the mine a short time before. Into town and through it to the scrambiing buildings of the Sampler, where the main products of the eines | of .Ohadi found. their way before go- ing to the smelter. There he swung wide the door and turned to the little room on the left, the sanctum of . white-haired, almost tottering old man who wandered about among his test tubes and “buttons” as he figured out the varlous weights and values of the ores as the samples were brought to him from the dirty, dusty, bin-filled irooms of the Sampler proper. A queer light came into the old fellow's eyes as he looked Into those of Robert Fairchild. *“Don’'t get 'em too high!” he ad- monished. airchild stared. “What?" “Hopes. I've seen many a fellow come in just like you. I've been here thirty year. They call me Old Under- taker Chastine!” Fairchild laughed. “But I'm hoping—" “Yep, Son.” Undertaker Chastine looked over his, glasses. “You're just lke all'the rest! { ¥ou're hoping, Trot ‘er out and let the old Undertaker have n look at Jefs’ Sobered now, l-‘nl; his tobaceo! dainy'{ stuffed full of, ever: that he and "Arry-had been able to dvag from the powfer I ;g,‘ Syldent- Iy, lls drill had been in thé ofe, What- ever it was, for some time before he realized it; the can was ‘heavy, ex- ceedingly - heavy, giving evidence of purity of something at least.

Let 'er roast— and while it's getting hot, well, you just cool your heels.” Long walting—while the eccentrte old assayer told doleful tales of otaer days, . tales of uther men who had rushed In, just Iiké Fairchild, with their sample of ove, only to depart. with the knowledge that they were no richer thav before, days when the news of the demonetization of silver swooped down upon the little town like some bh}g to) lndn,. closing down the mines, (!h‘\lmnz"'\lp the gambling halls and gwat suloons, nailing up ghe - doors, even of"the Safpler, for years to come, £ He turned to e nace and took out the pottery dish in which the sample had been -smelting - white-hot now.
