THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT. THURSDAY, NOV. T4, 1935 Qo/Sketch Club® LESSON NO. 78 TONE RELATIONS There are a great many or few in-termediate tones between BLACK and WHITE, depending upon the SCALE of TONE chosen. With these different tones an artist may represent the LIGHT and DARK VALUES of objects. In pen and ink sketches, for reproduction in the newspapers, solid Black on White, or White on Black, or the use of Black and White together with one or more of the in. termediate tones obtained between these two extremes. In the latter case, depending upon the artist's choice whether he uses a three, required in tie three tone scale. White, Middle-Tint, Half-Tone, Middle Shade, and Black represent the five tone scale. White, High-Tint, Middle Tint, Low Tint, High Shade, Middle Shade, Low Shade, and Black are required for the nine tone scale. Whichever scale you select to use, remember that the intervals of that particular scale are of the utmost importance in your work, whether it be pictorial or decorative, a sketch or a design. It is with these tones or intervals that you must interpret, not only light and shade; but, also, the natural and the artificial colours in the objects seen in nature. Next week we shall chat more about how to use these Tone Scales in our 3UaCK AND WHITE 5CflL& FIG. 2.6 1 J roues 9 TONES l" i - I- WHITE * a- MICH TINT a.- 3~ WOOLS TINT 4- LOW TINT 9 s 3 3- mm-* Toms 6- HUH SNfcPE ^r~ 7- MIOOi-E SHADE a- SHAPE ■ 3~ 9- BLACK J m five, or nine tone scale in his artistic representation. The ones thus produced are known as the Black and White Scales of Light and Dark Values. If you have not already drawn up samples of three, five, and nine tone scales there is no time better than right now to do so. You will find these samples a real aid in deciding which scale or how many tones to use in the particular job on hand. Fig. 261 illustrates what is known as the Black and White Scale. Note how related any one scale is related to the others as shown in the lower portion of the drawing, White, Half-Tone and Black represent the tones work, by careful selection and orderly mixtures. Remember, intervals are more or less Contrasts which bring us once again to Tone Relations. Ex. No. 76. Draft out a larger copy of Fig. 261, being very careful that each name of tones is placed opposite the correct or corresponding number. There is a reason. These lessons are free. We invite questions from our readers, which will be answered without any charge. A small fee is charged for criticism on readers' sketches.

Sunday School Lesson LESSON VII.--NOV. 17 THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY miah was written in the early part of the reign of king Zedekiah (597-586 B.C.) The first chapter of th£" book of Ezra refers to events which took place in the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, B.C. 538. The date of Psalm 126 cannot be accurately determined but, of course, it was some time after the return from Babylon, i.e., probably between 530 B.C. and 500 B.C. PLACE -- The letter written by Jeremiiah was sent from the city of Jerusalem, and it was probably in that city that Psalm 126 was written. The first chapter of Ezra takes us to the great city of Babylon, and to the counry round abou in which the Jewish exiles were living. Now. At first sight a strange word with which to open a book. It implies the resumption or continuance, not the commencement, of the narrative. "In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia." He is called king of Persia, not because he was born a Persian prince, but because the Persian kingdom was the most important of his conquests. "That the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished." The reference here, of course, is to Jeremiah's prophecy of the seventy years' captivity, which we have just been considering, hovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia'.' To stir up the spirit is to move to activity. God not only teaches; he quickens. "So that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying". This is added to record the fact, which, to the Jews, was of so much importance that the edict, so far from being a Jewish invention, had been written at the command of Cyrus, and was accessible among official papers. "Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the Kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given ~ie." It is remarkable that the king, who was a believer in many gods, and who, on the monuments, speaks on himself as a worshipper of Nebo and Merodach, should speak in such exalted terms of the God of the Jews. 'And he hath charged me to build lim a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah". This divine mission is described in Isa. 44:24-28; 45:1-13. Whosoever there is aanong you of all his people, his God be with him." This is a familiar form of blessing parable t0 our "good-by," whch is an abbrevated form of God be with you. "And let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem." We should carefully observe that the niict permitting the Jews to return to Jerusalem did not compel them to •eturn. There was no forced expul- r with Ethiopia. They are siC(n of these people from Babylon, ^'"And whosoever is left. In any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem." Dr. Ryle has paraphrased the opening of* this verse as follows: In any place where survivors of the Jewish captivity are to be found sojourning, there let the natives of the place, the non-Israelitish neighbors, render them all assistance. "Then rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God has stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem." It should be noticed that the social leaders are mentioned first, the heads of the great families, an indication that the movement did not originate among the humbler "And all they that there were round about them strengthened iheir hands." The Jews who sought to return were like a convalescent essaying to walk and needing assistance. "With vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered." Cyrus himself undertook to promote honestly and effectively that which he had allowed by his remarkable decree, and brought out of the treasure rooms of his pagan temples, vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, in 598 and in 586, had taken from the temple (2 Kings 24: 13; 25:14, 15. . "Free government functions best --and perhaps can only function at all--under the two-party system."-- Nicholas Murray Butler.
