SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VI HABAKKUK FIGHTS THROUGH DOUBT TO FAITH Habakkuk Priuted Tex , tiab. 1:12â€"2:4 Golden Text: "The rlghteoui •hall live b/ his faith." Hab. 2:4. THE l.KSSON IN ITS SKTTlMi Time â€" The dale for tlie wiiliuR of this book cannot be detwuiiued with finality; sonie place it is as early as 6'S<) BC, and some us lata as BOO B.C. Tlie exact year of its compoailiou dues not in any vita! way deteriuiue tlie inti^iprctaiiou of Iho book. I'laco â€" Jerusalem. In this lesson we find rich mater- ial to illuminate the great truth of the ultimate victories of God's eter- nal purposes, and from the lesson we should s*c in a new and clearer way how it is no: each day's occur- ences, nor each year's ©vents that are final in God's plan, but that all the events of life, the whole history of a nation, the entire course of tlie ages, are finali;.- made to fulfill tlie eternal purposes of God. The name Hubakkuk comes from a Hebrew root meaning "to em- brace". Practically nothing is known of this prophet and his lite. At the time Habakkuk was writing this book, Jc-Uo!aklm was probably oa the throne of Judali. This kind's selfish luxury aud oppressive exac- tions are sharply contrasted by Jer- emiah with his father's upright con- duct and just administration. The Chaldeans during this period were lu their full career of conquest. COMING TRIBULATION The book opens with a dialogue between the prophet and God. Ha- bakkuk contemplates with dismay the reign of lawlessness around him la Judah. Long and earnestly has he pled with God to interpose, but BO answer has come. Then at last Jehovah appears to answer. The Lord announces his purpose to raise Up the Chaldeans to chastise Israel tor hor disobieuce aud her iniqui- ties, and he here calls on the pro- phet, and through him, his people, to understand the deeper meaning of the tribulation which Is Immed- iately before them. The Chaldeans were "to be the instrument in the bands of God to mete out judgments to the Jews and humble them, as well as other nations. ILVBAKKUK'S GREAT PROBLEM Hab. 1:12. Art not thou from everlasting, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? we shall not die, O Je- hovah, thou hast ordained him for Judgment; aad thou, O Rock, hast ftstabllshed him for correction. 13. Thou that art of purer eyea than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perrerseness, wherefore lookesl thou upon them that deal treacherously, aud holdfrst thy own peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that Is more righteous than he; 14. aud niakest men as the (Ishes of the sea, as the creeping tilings, that liave no ruler over Ihern'/ 15. He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, aud gathereth them in his drag! therefore he rejoiceth and \A glad. IC. Tlierefore he saorlficeth unto his net, and burneth iuceuse unto Ills drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food pleut- eous. 17. Shall he therefore empty hU net, and spare not to slay the nations continually? 'J'he propliel's dilemma: allowing that the (Jhald- cans were an agent in the hands of God for the punishment of unbeliev- ing and sinful Israel, the prophet asks how God can allow them vic- tories that result in their rejoicing over sorrow and suffering of God's own people, and In tha confirma- tiou of the Chaldeans in their idol- atrous practices. Why does not God Interfere? JEHOVAH'S ANSWKK 3. I will stand ui>on my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what ha will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my romplainl. 2. And Jehovah answered me, and said, write the vision, and make It plain upon tat)lets, that lie may nin that readeth II. 3. For lii» vl- •ion Is yet f^r the appointed time, and it liasteth toward the end, and â- halt not live; though it lariy, wait for It; because it will surely come. It will not delay. Much that Ilaliali- V'lk here sees in vision will nol Uke place tintll the end of this age. 4. Heboid, his soul Is puffed up. It Is not upright In him; but thft righteous shall livi> by hit own t»lth.

Cropping Old Sod Late In Springtime To extend the urea in grain production, many awes of old scd, notably in the Maritime Provinc- es, were broken up last fall. For success, and especially with bar- ley, says B. Leslie Emslie, a fine seed bed i.s necessary. This means free u.sc of the harrows. Tough .sod ir.ry not lie very compactly, leaving a hollow under the fur- row whidi tends to dry out the soil in early summtr. Kolling will h<r]\) lo make a firn: reed bed Need Fine Seed Bed The ftro'.ving of barley should be limited usually to land culti- vattd in the rotation, where a fill'.' seetj, bed for this shallow- rooted, quiCiC grov.ing cereal can be more easily procured. Oats or •sjiring wheat are more likely to tliiive well on the newly broken .sod, and tlicsc are sown earlier than barley. Spring is late; but this handi- cap may be largely overcome by a fairly liberal use of the right fer- tilizer which will promote rapid, vigorous growth of the crop. Tiie choice of the fertilizer will depend on conditions, but it should con- tain ample phosphate and potash and an amount of readily avail- able nitrogen sufficient tj give the crop a smart kick-off. Armor Urged For Soldiers Would Save Many Lives, In- sists Notad Surg- in â€" Plat- ing on Chest Kenneth Walter, Harley Street (Loudon, Knglaiid) surgeon, aud a ctiptain in the K..\.M.C'., in the first Great War, wants to see troops in the trenches provided with armor piatiug on the chest, which would "save the lives of many." Large numbers of men died dur- Iijg 19H-1918 as tlie result of being hit ill the chest by tiny fragraeuta of grenades or shells, he said in the "British Medical Journal." 'i'he Germans were rei>orted to be using duralumin suits at the be- giuniu'j of this war. British mili- tary circles then said that the sug- gestion that troops should be ar- mor-plated had been considered, but it was not considered feasible becau.5e of the weight and penetrat- ing jiov.er of m-odern weapons. Arguing that it took two years to induce the authorities to accept th£» steel helmet. Walker said: "Having accepted the priucipie that it is worth while protecting the head from projectiles of compara- tively low penetrating power, is It not advisable to extend this prin- ciple to other and even more vul- nf^rable areas of the body?"
