Here is an incldent raised recently by a correspondent to one of New York‘s large city dallies, who wrote: Laughter at wageâ€"earning efforts has often discouraged beginnings. It is a serious matter to the boy, and he does not distinguish between laughter that is ridicule and the indulgent, lovâ€" ing mirth that is the byâ€"product of apâ€" preciation. He is sensitive, and "he laughed at me" puts a brake on his earning speed. Encourage him, help him, create incentives, and then keep "hands off" when the spending time comes. Often parents unknowingly discourâ€" age the young earner by saying, "Use your own money, you made 50 cents toâ€"day."

To our captors our fields are divided; We are utterly spoiled. l The "cord" of verse 5, is the measâ€" uring line used in surveying and diâ€" viding the fields. The meaning is simply that, the land having been taken from them and given over to their enemies, there will be no longer any dividing of it among the familes of Judah. The word rendered "proâ€" phesy" (2:6), is frequently used with that meaning. It means literally, however, to "keep on talking." We may undgrstand vs. 6, 7, as follows: The cruefoppressors of the poor bid the prophets to cease talking of these things, to leave off their peverâ€"ending reproaches.
