IV ISAIAH COMFORTS AN AF. FLICTED PEOPLE Iiniah 40. PRINTED TEXT, lea. 40: 1.11 GOLDEN TEXT---Geod is our "vefuge and strength, a very pre. sent Kelp in trouble. Ps. 46: 1, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, =~ Probably - about 701 B.C., although the time cannot definitely be ascertained. Plage.--The city of Jerusalem, In this lesson we find a remark- able revelation of 'some of the fundamental relationships that ought to exist between God and "men, and between men and God. On the one hand, God desires to _ rule men, to reward them, to guide them as a shepherd, to give power and strength to- them in weakness; but on the other hand, if these things are to be bestow- ed by God, man must open his life to the Lord 50 that the Lord can fill it with his' own greatness and goodness. A Great Prophet Of all Israel's c?lebrated -pro- phets, Isaiah is the king. The writings which bear- his name are among the proloundest in all lit- tion by faith --- stamps them all. Isaiah is the St. Paul of the Old Testament, Isa, 40: 1, Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jer- usalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is ficcomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins,.The chap- ter begins with the voice of God speaking to the children of Isracl, who are said to be going to en- dure great sufferings and 70 years of captivity in Babylon, Is- aiah sees beyond the suffering, and beyond. the captivity, the in- finite tenderness and gracious- ness of God, an unfailing love for his people, and the final victory and "peace which come to them. The pronouncement of this verse may become a glorious reality in the life of any slave to sin, any oppressed or defeated person, if that one will recognize that all of one's sins have been.atoned for in the perfect and precious _sacri- fice of the Lord Jesus Christ, by which sacrifice we are set free. John Baptist's Coming 3. The voice of one that crieth, prepare ye in the ,wildérness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven . shall be made level, and the rough places a plain: 5: and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it. This great passage, where the sec- ond of four voices is heard, the voice of the forerunner, is well known to all Bible students, be- cause of its quotation in all the four Gospels in the record of the appearance of John the Baptist, to whom certainly this prophecy points. John the Baptist, however, though the great forerunner, did cations of this verse, for all true servants of God are to be occu- pied in. preparing the way for the coming of the Lord. Greatness of His Word +6. The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is r~ 'he flow- er of the field. 7,-Th' ss with- ereth, the flower fa. - , oecause the breath of Jehove., bloweth upon. it; surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the: word of our God shall stand for ever. A third voice is now heard, of- un- determined * origin, proclaiming man's frailty and the eternal pow- er of God's word. Man is here lik- ened to the grass of the earth, be- cause he too soon passes away (comparatively speakiog). In con- trast to the brevity of life. allot- ted to man, Isaiah comforts the + hearts of his people by rentinding them that the word of "God for- ever abides, ' { Revealed In His Works © 9. O thou that telleth good tid- ings to Zion, get a high mountain; O thou that tell- eth good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

Bigger Profits From Potatoes Four years ago thé Ontario and Dominion Governments commenc- ed experiments on three soil typos in Middlesex county at the request of the Caradoc Potato Growers' As- sociation. In- 1938 similar experi: ments wero begun in the .Alliston area, South Simwoo county, €sow- ers in these famous potato growing areas asked investigations into such problems as low yields, and difficulties In producing potatoes of | high quality. In addition to the main experiments, demonstrations have been condiicted on 38 Middle- sex farms on oneacre plots with adjacent check plots. Results obtained on the experl- mental plots and put into practice on tho demonstration plots showed five main factors contributed to more profits from potatoes -- these were: ) Certified seed of a suitable var- fety. Plontiful supply of plant food supplied by barnyard manure, and green manure crops and artificial fertilizors. Early planting, Efilcient spraying. Proper methods of harvesting, grading, packaging and labelling, FEWER ACRES, HIGHER QUALITY Growers should recognize that profits are not necessarily measur. od by the number of acres grown, but by the yleld of good quality tu- bers produced per acre. The objec- tive of Ontario potato growers should be "More bushels of high quality potatoes from fewer acres." 0 REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS I [IL ** SPRING CHANGES Well, we have an official com- that Spring is actually here.
